Having sold our Ducato based Globecar last March we still find ourselves wanting a 'weekend toy' to play with.
Whereas before we had plenty of time and generally toured for up to 12 weeks at a time, we are now committed to work Monday to Friday but we do have every weekend off (by this I mean my previous job involved multiple shifts, nights, weekends etc).
This time we want something that is easier to keep on the road, more nippy around town and narrow lanes etc and better suited to being our only vehicle.
I have in mind converting a VW T5 so that we can make it just the way we want it. Not worried about the lack of standing room or having to make up the bed each night. For a weekend getaway we don't need a shower room however a loo is desirable (but compromising!).
I plan to keep the bulkhead and keep the 3 seats in the front so everything 'camper style' will need to be squeezed into a very small space!
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has done this sort of thing, your views on the 'pros and cons' etc.
Anyone who can not see the point need not reply
Thank you
