VW T5 Multivan
We also have a VW T5 Multivan, set up in the conventional minibus style most of the time though we can take out the middle individual seats and travel with just the bench seat which drops into a bed platform, as I'm sure you all know! and the sleep kit which I have to say is really well designed.
Last year I treated myself to a pop-up cube, 3 metres a side, which I have as an independant freestanding kitchen. I can then either throw up a hike tent or sleep us in the bus depending on conditions. I like having the kitchen separate, what with two small boys and possibly a mad golden retriever darting about. In the summer months I often travel for a month with the boys/dog in the UK and my husband flying in for weekends. Last summer was the first time and the dog was left at home but I was really pleased with how we managed.
We were using campsites and friend's driveways last year, but I hope to do more wild camping and have recently been looking into buying some woodland in the UK so that we would at least have somewhere to park up and let the boys/dog run riot, have a campfire and a basic shelter and just collapse without having to consider others ... Not got very far with that train of thought yet as I don't really want to go through the organsied woodland sales people with sets of keys to shared access gates and twee little name plaques on individual plots within a collection of plots.
Ah ... I'll just copy this over to the introductions section ... I think I've got this T5/Multivan thing and introduction muddled up!
