    This is how I interpreted it.

    The posts seemed to be from people being fairly self-deprecating, joking about being old/out-of-touch. 

    Exactly how I have read them all

    I'm jealous, I want something like that to tow behind my 1978 VW T2 🙂

    Exactly. That’s exactly what should be towing it, not my crappy focus! And you should colour code the bus and the van 🙂

    it's super handy, as you can still see out the back window when you're towing it, but it fold up tall enough to stand upright in, and has solid sides so is much sturdier than a trailer tent. It's a keeper for sure 🙂

     

    dug out some pics over the years, shows how often I change my daily driver 🙂 though since 2016 I've been using the Mondeo as 'tow car' as my daily is now my T5.

    I'll grab some pics of the interior at some point, and how I built it - the problem with a folding caravan is that the furniture cannot be higher than the roof when it's folded down, so everything needs to be modular, which presents some tetris like issues for breaking it all down ready to tow.

     

     

     

     

    Love it. This is what I’ll be arriving looking like.

    Not a van strictly, but a 'van 🙂 Dug my folding caravan out of storage (my mums drive) where it's been since late 2019. Given it a clean and now I need to see what needs fixing - the panel with the door is shagged - the wooden frame that the hinges attach too has dry rotted away, so it'll need stripping and re-framing. I've done this on the other panels already over the years (I've had this for about fifteen years now, and it was made in 1982, so it was old when I got it 🙂 ) but it should be match fir to June 🙂

    Yes. And I also wonder whether the Twix story has established the style for the breaking-into-Glasto genre.
