This week the corporation of london tell me that I can probably have a garage on the estate by the end of the month.

Asked for one of them years ago.

Was thinking a micro-camper could go in it when it came up.

So I spent a bit of yesterday looking at all the tiny microcampers the like of which would fit in a standard domestic garage and also I wouldn’t feel terrified trying to drive.

Seems like really this means the smallest of the vans, the cars designed to carry a family of seven.

All the already-converted ones have some flaw of course which makes them less than perfect. Wrong type of sink or bed in the wrong place or whatever.

Meanwhile, the camper-converted ones seem to be selling for around 8 grand more than the unconverted ones, while also companies are claiming they’ll do the conversion for more like 4 grand.

So it seems like you could make small amounts of money by buying the cars, paying a company to convert them, and then selling them as campers.

Not interested in doing that, but does seem likely to be the best route to getting a camper of my own I really like. Design it myself. Buy the car and pay for a conversion to my design.

Now the only trouble is I don’t know anything about cars. The Renault Kangaroo seems like it’s about the right shape. Probably not the electric version given the range and charging time and the length of journey a camper typically does. But definitely not diesel either given the Ultra-low-emission requirements of the city I live in.
