Victor, my 1970 early bay camper. After having several modern motorhomes i decided that I really wanted an old VW. I had been working on campsites seasonally, and wintered in the sun, wild camping in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. But a new campsite job 2 years ago offered all year work and a lovely flat to live in. So the Hymer that was parked up doing nothing had to go, and along came a lilac bay called Shirley, but soon had a sex change and change of colour and Victor was born. He has his moments, like the carb packing up last week, a week before we come to Ireland, but a quick call to a local VW business found a used carb for £50 and he's running again.
Yes, he does not have all the luxuries that my other vans have, but he puts a big grin on my face, and other peoples, it really is fun camping, cold fun camping sometimes.
I hope he does himself proud next week.
