Since I enjoy reading trip reports rather than fault reports here's mine. Our 82 2L air-cooled hi-top camper has just 'transported' us on a four week adventure down though Britain and across northern France to the Alsace region. We went via the channel tunnel and stayed at about ten different camp sights over the four weeks. One site for a week and others for one or two nights. A great time was had by all (two adults plus two kids 4 and 1.5) so the camper, I think, will stay in our family a bit longer. The van ran great over the 2500 miles although I dare not calculate the MPG! I have to agree with Dave Horrigan in that I saw only two or three type2s over the holiday. Where have they all gone? Lots of T3s, though most were late 80s and 90s all singing all dancing models. For anyone venturing into France we found the Michelin camp site guide is a must. We stayed at some real classy joints...swimming pools, mountain biking, pony trekking and of course French bowls. Unspoilt villages and mountain top castles. No I don't work for the French tourist board, I just had a nice holiday. Happy Camping Martin |
