Will also say I've driven a few of them, Gramps Tunnie (RIP
) many years ago was looking to buy one, much to my dislike and I suggested hotels but he wanted one. So I took him around to look at loads and we drove them.
I took a few for a test drive, not cheap things, for something decent he was looking at splashing £40/50/60k.
The driving experience was van like, slow, underpowered, lots of gear shifts for a change in engine sound/note but did not appear to translate into much movement forwards.
Also, because they are loaded up with cooking pots, plates, cups, glasses, tins, food, jars, all the usual kitchen stuff etc. The amount of metallic bumping/knocking/clanging coming from the cabin area made the drive intolerable in my view. Hit a pot hole or even rough section and whole thing shook and crashed about.
So you get a horrible drive, which is slow and dull and zero fun. You arrive at destination where you park 3 feet from someone else, not allowed do campfires usually/games etc. Have to cook your own food, wash up your own plates and toilet etc. Not sure I will ever get the appeal!
