Fitz Apr 2015 11:09pm, 14 Apr 2015 1,167 posts	0 Fitz On my first two trips to Glasto (2008, 2009) I hired a camper from a mate of a mate. Commercial hire prices for that particular weekend are £££££! Anyway, this one was a huge 6-berth Hymer thing based around some kind of Fiat van, with cooking hob, sink, fridge, shower and WC. it was rather challenging to drive, not least because it was left-hand drive. It was a brilliant experience (Glasto was pretty good too!) but unfortunately when I went back to hire it for the third year, it was unavailable because the owner was living in it whilst his fire-gutted cottage was being repaired. My mrs hates the idea of camping / caravanning etc but I have had a hankering to buy one ever since, would be dead handy for far-flung races or for track days on the bike.

HellsBells Apr 2015 8:56am, 15 Apr 2015 19,122 posts	0 HellsBells I couldn't find any photos, but this one is the spit of ours - 1971 Devon camper, same colour, straight up and down roof, single sliding door on the passenger side, two wooden box seats - the stove was folded in the one nearest the door, the other was storage, you could slide a board between these seats and put a cushion on it to make an extra seat, no seat belts of course - it was 1971, there was a double bench backseat with more storage underneath and the sink on the passenger side. the table top was stowed against the other side and the leg screwed into a hole in the floor, the bunks were about 2 feet wide nylon and rolled up against the roof [IMAGE]

The only issue you might have is that it really needs two people to lift it in and out (not sure how big quarterpint is!) Ours is a different awning but the inside stuff is the same.

I might have to add Berlingo plus kit to the ever increasing list of 'things to save for' - which currently includes deposit for a house and 40th birthday trip to NZ where we will hire a camper and travel around kayaking, MTBing etc etc.
