Building memories
“beautiful valleys, sleepy villages… mountain streams and a mighty waterfall”
The annual European road trip has become something of a tradition in our household. Our two young boys, now six and eight, have been coming with us since they were only a few months old and we have covered many thousands of miles in various Vans, ranging from a lovely early T4 Caravelle with petrol / LPG through to a hi-top Peugeot Boxer and latterly, our beloved T5.1.
I have converted all of the Vans myself, and each one has been slightly different as our needs have evolved with time. We have had everything from pop-tops with the traditional full side cupboard interior through to bunk beds and a lovely double bed in the hi-top.
As the boys have grown bigger, we now also have a caravan that we use for local holidays in the UK and, as a result, the need for a full-blown Camper has become less.
For our European tours, though, the only way to go is solo, and we now use the Camper and a drive-away awning.
