It would be daft to spend all of ones time creating the perfect camper van, only to find that something happens, resulting in one never getting any fun from it.
This video needed a sound track and given the subject matter "The Surfer" Guinness advertisement from 1998 came to mind. It is all about the pleasure on being in the surf regardless of either how skilled one is or how big the surf is. It was just great fun, as it always is.
Despite me being someone who would always avoid a "good enough" builder, plumber or any other skilled tradesman. There are occasions when being good enough is justified. That variation to the rule would apply to anything that is being trialed or tested before making something better that becomes the final product. That way one spends as little as possible on ideas that don't work as well as imagined in practice.
Fitting the basic essentials for a comfortable "away from home" living environment is subject to many small variations on what it is possible to do. Getting the combination right is dictated by the type of vehicle one is adapting, the use or uses one has planned for it and you. You being it's often not you but you and a partner whose needs may differ from yours.
Having proven that the basic layout I have quickly knocked-up works for us. I really don't want to spend the rest of the summer improving on it. This can wait until the winter. So I took one of my children off with me because he needed the break, I needed the surf and my wife needed to tend her allotment over the weekend.
There was a gale blowing in from the South West the latter park of the previous week and the forecast predicted that it would be both wet and windy. That really doesn't matter too much when one is immersed in water anyway and the sea around the UK is warm this time of year.
The "wetness" only becomes a potential issue when one gets out of the water in that it makes it more difficult to get warm and dry.
The beauty of having a camper-van is in being able to get in, close the doors and change in the dry.
Being able to make a hot drink or use a loo where one is parked is a HUGE benefit when it comes to measuring comfort levels while engaging in any out door pursuit.
We really only went away for half a day and a half an one night, but it was great fun and well worth repeating.
