[Unboxing] Camper Van Arrival

I’d love to be a grey nomad. I know someone who is just finishing up a circumnavigation of the country. Unfortunately, a van costs almost as much as a house deposit plus you have to buy a vehicle big enough to tow it. And you’d need a bank loan for the fuel these days.

It won’t be for another 20 years @Suzanne_Jones . Life is too busy for me at the moment. Yes they are quite expensive.

I only know because hubby and I are nearing retirement and we’ve talked about it.

Usually people retired are into travel with this. I love the idea and will be travelling around Australia with my hubby

If you come across it just give me a shout :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I currently have a camper. A little different than this one in your kit. Here is a picture of my model.


When we first got this, we took her to Niagra from Illinois, then up through Canada and down through Michigan. The following year, we went west to the Badlands, South Dakota.
I will tell you, I absolutely love my Camper and I plan on bringing some kits I built up there. My first kit I built was done there. It is amazing how simply one can live!

Yes. Lots of storage which was the main reason. Here we kind of call it glamping
