    Any recommendations of companys and or models to use?

    Im bringing the Mrs along to an event this month and cant be bothered with the hassle of camping – if its just me its easy but there tends to be a lot more requirements, faff and complaining involved with going as a couple – so fancy a change.

    Iv never been in a campervan before but like the idea. I need one with a shower, toilet kitchen etc and would prefer a bit of space.

    Based in Worcester but more convenient to collect from Bromsgrove or Redditch.

    Hmm – just consulted google and I think what Im really after is a motorhome rather than a camper van.

    They’re quite deep, yes – empty but deep.
    They cost quite a lot then yes?
    More than 3 nights in a reasonable B&B?

    Every time I’ve looked for camper van hire it’s worked out similar to the cost of a top class hotel.

    You could spend the same money on some really nice car camping gear, like the foldable kitchens and beds etc, imo. Or just get a new Mrs who likes roughing it as much as you do 🙂

    Our camping set-up btw fits in a single big duffel bag btw (excluding clothes and food), and that’s for a family of four!

    A lot when I’ve looked and they are not very economical so fuel costs are pretty big too.

    Couldn’t comment on the rates as they aren’t my cup of tea, i prefer tents, but he’s been doing it for a few years and did have some good feedback last time i spoke to him. He’s based in the Cheltenham/Tewkesbury area so not to far.

    *note comments about prices, as you’ll pay site fees as well, I’ve been looking at buying – but would hire first to see if size pees me off

    google on Mooveo p600 hire (*fixed bed, 22ft long I think) (*I like this as it *appears* the ”garage” under rear bed would hold the bikes and it’s about as small as fixed bedders go

    try Elddis Autoquest 115 or 120 – make up bed – bike rack generally available (bit shorter than mooveo)

    *for small try romahome r20 (*no shower, makeup bed) berlingo+longer

    *if you do hire one could you drop me a how it went mail – cheers

    *check fresh water/bog capacity if you’ve not got ‘site facilities’ – it’s limited………………
