All I want for Christmas....

Posted by Camper girl on October 31, 2007 10:03 AM | 

Actually, I don't know what I want for Christmas.. but this could be a possibility: a camper van MP3 docking station: You can plug in your MP3 player for sounds through the built-in speaker and it boasts a glowing engine, working tail lights and head lights with high-beam feature.

Not so many camper vans around now... though the lovely red one has reappeared in the Danescourt cul-de-sac, visible from the train in the mornings. Spotted a nice yellow one in the retail car park while having a birthday lunch with my not-so-little son... (6ft2" at 15!)

Read in this week's Sunday Times that Helen Baxendale (from Cold Feet and Friends) is a fan, and drives her 80s VW camper van all the time... she was in the money section.. and says it's her best investment:

The property financially has been my best investment, but other than that I would probably have to say my 1980s VW camper van. I bought it six years ago for £7,000 and it’s probably still worth this much. Camper vans tend not to lose their value as quickly as cars, so it was an excellent buy.

We’ve added to it over the years, though - we have put in a new passenger seat and had the whole interior renovated.

We take most of our holidays in it as well so it’s been hugely beneficial for us as a family. I also use it as my main car, not that I drive very much, but I sometimes drive up to the swimming pool - it’s not that awkward to park once you get used to it.
