Chris Clarke has said caravan conversion, very neat job done by his old fella and if I had somewhere to store it and could cope with the ridicule of dragging one it seems good towing option

most of last year i used my citroen dispatch work van (bought for £700 and sold for £800 4years later after doing a "john cleese" and battering sh*te out of it) and single bike trailer 2 big sticks and a bit of old lorry tarp- was just big enough to sleep ok and cost f**k all to run 38mpg and about £200 maintainance in all time i had it- bit slow but have always had bikes for going fast and always found vans more useful than cars-
now living luxury with vw lt35 and have converted my trailer to small box

vw transporter ..

drives like a car and does close to 40 mpg (if your careful)
fits the bike all my gear and a matress in
i do about 20000 miles a year in mine and it's reliable as the day is long (currently on 190000 miles)

not just there for race days .. track days .. collecting and selling various bike parts .. camping .. plus everything else i carry around.

mines a combi .. so it's got 5 seats too

am considering getting a decent pop up awning but wouldn't swap the van for the world

I'm selling my Vw T5. awesome van 178bhp can either tow bike or put bike in back with all spares and can even sleep next to it with my bed setup built in... pm for more details if interested

I like that, shame it's way out of budget.
