We're buying a camper!

How awesome would it be to just jump in the car, drive for a few hours then set up camp for the weekend?

How much more awesome would it be if you didn't have to pack everything, because it was already in the car? And how much MORE awesome would it be that if it did rain you wouldn't get too wet like you would in a tent?

So I know you know how excited I am to be getting a campervan.

I can just picture us cruising down the highway with our tunes blaring to some 80's hit, hair down, curtains swaying in the back, on our way to a destination unknown, what bliss!

It's not fancy, new, rust-free or probably leak-proof, but it's mine! YAY

We'll be picking it up in a few days then starting to put our own stamp on it with a new colour, a good clean and then decking out the interior. I will be positng photos of the transformation.

Now I should start thinking about some decorating for the inside, maybe some curtain and pillow sewing. I'd love to put photos and pictures up on the inside too. Your ideas are most welcome!

Stay tuned!

  1. How exciting Kim! I saw this on somebody else's blog and thought it was devine. It is a caravan but still cool. http://www.snailtrail.co.uk/retro_rentals.htm#Caravan

  5. hi kim, I too like Sam just wondering if all is ok and the last we heard was buying a camper, perhaps you have been able to get away for a long break in your new camper. Please drop us a line and tell us how you are going. I enjoy your blog from a young person s point of view in caring for the environment and living simply.
