Buy a tent instead
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner

Someone, who probably did waaaaay too much green in the '80s, wrote:Just like its vehicular counterpart you can stand up inside
Eh? I see no pop top! :lol:
Someone else who probably didn't inhale, but you never know, wrote:This product is NOT an actual VW van!
No sh*t! :mrgreen:

If you think that is cool, you can buy pint sized popular classics as well

OI, no advertising for the competition ;)
It's amazing how somebody has made 2 things i can't stand in to one product, camper vans and tents! I bet they sell a bundle of them to the glastonbury crowd!

I suppose you could have fun "parking" it in unlikely places then watching the reaction.

No good for me - the doors are on the wrong side and I'd hate to walk out into the traffic - might get hit by an inflatable artic!

You miss the noise of the side door sliding tho; it's a unique rasping shhhhhhhhhh-thunk.
I camped at Doune in the early 2000s and arriving in the dark missed the Triumph owners, so ended up in the middle of the VW Camper Owners laager. All night there was shhhhhh- thunk shhhhh-thunk on all sides. I heard it in my sleep for months after.
