'Connie' the CamperCan

This years adventures are to take place in a camper van so the first course of action is to acquire a camper van! To this end Brenton caught the train to deep, dark Wales and after a lovely day with the previous owners drove her home! En-route he christened her 'Connie' and would not enter into any further discussions regarding her name so she is 'Connie the Camper Can' as Dusty calls her.

Obviously there are always little tweeks Brenton would love to make to any car and Connie is no exception. So now begins the 'Connie Customisation Phase'. Brenton is enjoying it immensely, so much so that he wants to give it a go as a business model making vans for

Aussies! We'll see where that one takes us.......

First installation is a Sat Nav to avoid any unnecessary fights due to navigation frustration. It came with bonus bluetooth phone and DAB radio which will hopefully help with entertainment too.

Next we needed more boot space for five people as transporters are made for smaller families than ours. We now have 500L more space than we previously did but no longer the capacity to take bikes. As we were not planning on taking bikes due to security concerns this isn't a problem!

Another shortfall is the lack of a fifth seat belt and sleeping space. Brenton attended to the sleeping issue by installing a roof bed and purchasing an inflatable awning. A professional is fitting an extra

seat belt on the back seat for the third child.
