So for the next couple of months this will be our home.
It's not big but after 20 odd years of camping in one of three small (but increasingly larger) tent trailers pulled by appropriately sized Toyota Camrys, this feels down right spacious. Well, the van seems ridiculously so, which may be way the US Border Service agent asked us why we were using such a large van to tow the trailer when we went down for a shake down cruise last month. We thought better of answering that the dog needs her own row of seats and so does the spinning wheel.
We have Gunter and Evelyn to thank for maintaining the van and trailer so well originally and Brendan for ensuring the van would be mechanically sound when we take off.
The interior is comfy and has all the basics we need.
The only major modifications we have made is restoring the option of folding up the bed into a sofa.
It gives us more floor space and lets me set up the spinning wheel in the trailer when the weather outside isn't conducive to spinning. (I can hear my Twisted by Choice colleagues saying, "Well, if you had a Hansen espinner you wouldn't have had to do that, you could even spin in the van!" ). But hey, isn't that what spindles are for? Besides you know I am a late adopted; just look at the Wooly Winder.
