Ok what about another thread about the good old days ( motorhoming). Apologies if one already started. When I started years ago there were very few vans on the roads and even fewer places to buy. The one place to buy back then was Tinsleys near Carryduff. They always had a selection and when you met another van you would recognise it as you had probably looked at it previously. I bought an orange and white VWT2 air cooled 1600cc . I don’t remember the converter but suspect it was Devon. It had Pullman seating that could be made to 4 forward facing seats and a double bed. Roll out beds in the pop up roof completed the 4 berths. There was a 2 burner hob, no grill, a small basin with a water foot pump and that was it. Our first trip took us to Athens and back via a circumferential route taking in France, Italy, Yugoslavia,Austria,Switzerland,Lichtenstein,Germany, Holland,Belgium. It was a bit of a trek and we had so many experiences including driving around a corner in Yugoslavia into a landslide and bursting a tyre. I still have fond memories of that VW and keep telling her indoors that I would love to go back to that basic pure motorhoming. She doesn’t agree as it would be giving up the shower, toilet, heating comfortable beds etc. But I can dream
