It is the way forward :smirk:
-
dammit, I thought we were rid of this rubbish in 'the great purge' :haha:
-
Rubbish :shock:
Camping in a Van with a few :shy: home comforts installed is a liberating experience.
You heard it here first.
-
Is this the inside of your van?
-
If it could be it would be :crazy:
-
It was last week, but that got sold.
-
Hmm, if I just moved the loo to the right, a few bungees and...

Another factoid for you non believers (and non KTM owners)..
KTM's are generally a very brilliant orange in colour, this takes some maintenance to keep the orange topped up. The manual recommends twice weekly UV treatments, this is another good use of the Van. :)

lol that must be what all the girls round Oldham use!
-
You saying a couple of grow lights is all it takes to get girls into the back of a van over your side of the pennines?

Carmping, tried and tested last weekend near Pewsey. No tent, no 9 grand van. :thumb:
-
Sometimes not even that, rusty nuts! Besides, I was eluding to how they topped up their orange complexion! :)

no chair, stove, cooking gear or food either :haha:
I had to pack that on the 250cc bike or we would have had no bacon rolls for breakfast.
-
That was hilarious.
I had 5 chairs.
-
sit in one and cook on the stove then :neen:
-
You saw how much gear I had, I had no room for a stove, or a cup.

If I could only find the pennies... Anybody want to buy my kidney (its OK, I've got two. one is clearly redundant and its just cash sat there depreciating inside me) :lala:

That is van porn :)
-
You've gone soft fat rat! That looks far too comfy and warm for vanping. That's the sort of thing a normal person would go camping in...
-
It's impossible to go camping in a Van, by default that is Vanping :)
-
That is van porn :)
Can I have that domain name? that's a real money-maker...
-
vanporn.com?

Below is a link to one of the 'camping areas' I will be staying in next year while in Italy. This won't fit in a van or on a bike but...

Only 3.5/5 from TripAdvisor. Oh dear. Another one seduced by the marketing photos of how the hotel used to look 15 years ago.. :)

Here's a new model for you Mr Fat Rat ..... Buy yourself one (http://metro.co.uk/2014/10/08/swiss-room-box-design-camping-kit-based-on-swiss-army-knife-to-turn-any-car-into-a-camper-van-4898061/)

You've not grasped the basic concept of Vanping, Martin. It needs a Van :grin:
-
I still laugh when I think about the time recently when I traveled 140 miles on a 250cc bike carrying all the camping gear, clothes, food, cooking gear and a chair with a back and arms.
Yet Jacko came in the estate car with a bike on a trailer and I had to cook and make him coffee in a stolen pint glass as he had feck all with him. :neen:

So far we've had no evidence that Fat Rat is going to/has ever done any vanping. The van in all set up but is he MAN enough to sleep in it?
OR
Is he sleeping in it when working away and pocketing the supplied 5 star hotel money to finance his bike buying addiction. :shrug:

I was there last year, it's cracking.
-
most hotels and b&b look like vans only they do not have wheels oh and they are warm and dry and come with breakfast all cooked for you when you get up
-
I think you've got the idea of this :thumb:

Ultimate Vanping.
