Yes please for more. I too have more, but not until January. A further question: your teardrop has a right-hand door. Is that because it has left and right? One of the other photos posted has that feature. Was it imported?


Hi, the little van has doors on both sides , I'll get some pics into P/bucket that show a bit more detail and post them up in the next few days. Here is one when the resto was nearly finished .....

I am thinking of a teardrop van to replace the tent eventually. As there will normally be 2 people in it I thought a door each side would make it easier if one of us needed to go for a walk. If there was only one door odds on it will be the one on the side without the door that would need the walk!

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!

I reckon the teardrop with a bed and a kitchen is just about all you need for a quick camp! Perfect! 8-)
