Show Season Is Close And My Car Is Still Broke

Yep Summer is drawing ever closer and the first show of the year for me, Wheels Day, is coming up very fast. Held on Good Friday every year it is a huge event for a single day show and last year it just blew my mind. It rained all day and was pretty cold and miserable but I still managed to have a fantastic time and if this year has dry weather it would be absolutely brilliant!

After that comes the normal weekend shows and that is where my predicament starts. Every year I camp and every year I get rained on, one day I will have a very nice camper van of my own to live the life of camping luxury but for now I settle for tents or I try out camper van hire. I’ve heard some pretty cool things about hiring a camper van and I guess it would let me do a little trial and see if I really do want to buy one or not.

If I was going to do it though should I go for classic camper van hire? There are lots of sites that allow you to book a VW camper van for the weekend and then that way it would fit in with the shows I was going to.

I'll just cut out this little bit of rust....bugger. Erm shall we just T-Top it?

I have a feeling they might be a little bit more standard than that one though…

Or my other option is to go for the super comfy new big campers, it wouldn’t look anywhere near as good but they have more creature comforts than my house probably does and I could probably trailer my car behind them… Or even better I could just splash the cash majorly and get one of these and put my car inside it!

Who knows what I’ll do this year but I do know that I would probably read my own guide to hiring a van before setting out on my van hire quest and I will hopefully fix my car sometime soon!
