Hello there. This is my first posting, so I hope I have come to the right forum.
My wife and I (occasional campers, keen walkers, nearing retirement) are considering investing in a campervan and, partly as a result of this fine site, are persuaded that a car / van conversion presents the optimum solution. We particularly like the look of a Doblo high-top which we have seen in the early stages of conversion.
I guess my only reservation (so far) is the width of the bed (42”). We are both quite small and used to each other’s company, but I wonder how well we are likely to sleep.
I’ve seen pictures of conversions with full-width beds (54” ?), but I imagine getting up, dressed and ready for breakfast might be a tad awkward.
Does anyone have any first hand experience (ideally of both options) that they would be willing to share?
Finally, are there any other surprises that, as prospective new campervan owners, we might avoid before we commit ourselves?
Thanks
Steve
