I've had computer problems. Only just back from the abyss of not being on line. That's both in terms of electrical apparatus, and brain activity. 

 

 

I think we can all agree that the Varta B34 is a fine looking battery.

 

Hope you all had a fab Christmas.

Isn't it

Don't let Neil read this

I do get what you mean; vw's tend to be a tad lacking in character, a bit cut & paste so to speak. I still wouldn't mind owning one though

The VW's people tend to have at festivals are just too small, to my reckoning. I've got a long wheeled based Ford Transit conversion, and feel that that is too small.

So get a caravan and problem solved.

Both surmountable. 

1. You can store your caravan at secure sites.  I keep mine on one at Magor near the Severn Bridge.  Cost, typically, about £250 a year.

2. Look at lightweight caravans, particularly those made by Lunar (a lightweight specialist). They were well made and oldies can still be OK but, as with all caravans, check for damp - the caravan killer.  Or

3.  Consider going for a trailer tent.  That's where I started my caravanning with one that folded down small enough to be stored in mother in law's garage.  Can be picked up for a couple of hundred quid.  My TT folded out to give two double beds with a zip on awning (all part of the package) that had a kitchen, big communal area, where a couple more could sleep and a good sized social area.

My friend has one of these.. when she does the ticket office she can just get in and get her head down.. You'll be amazed at the amount of room you have in side... You can get them quite cheap as well..
