We're the same, OH has a bad back and decided that sleeping in the tent is doing it no good at all. So we are now awaiting delivery of a VW T5 conversion, ready for going to France. The van is so we no longer have to pitch the tent, or pack up in the rain. We will still need to use site facilities, and intend to cook outside.

haha we also are considering a caravan,after having a wet week in devon.
everything was soaked and what made it worse was when we got home we had to drag everthing out to dry,
we have only been camping for a year so maybe i am the wimp.
As soon as we can afford a van we will get oneprobably next year,I too will keep my tent because it is fun,sometimes. only when the sun is shinning.

I got fed up with pitching tents but we are scout leaders and most sites we use will not accept caravans or would put us miles away from our troop and then found quechua 2 seconds base and that solved the problem with a trailer.
Also I can also now go away on my own with my 2 children 4 and 7 and I am only 5ft tall

I like the idea of the new style VW camper, we saw one at a campsite a few months ago and it really did look good. Look on the positive side though, no more having to take the tent down in the rain, you can be packed up and on your way in minutes, what an ideal way to go touring!!! ------------- Steve
