|  Here is the back of my Discovery with fitted denim window covers-velcro stuck to window edges & a caravan cushion covered 6 foot bed. Its first test was a 4 day 4x4 trip to North Wales and was the best sleep I have ever had whilst camping. In its current state there is nowhere for the dog to sleep so Mk2 will be starting imminently. There will be a large roof rack shortly ready for a summer trip to the Lake District. It also now has a checker plate rear door card where I will be mounting a twin burner gas hob that folds down. | |

| Any Peeping Tom's taller than 6ft can see in your Alpine windows, they need 'deniming' as well.

| One of the benefits of camping with your dog is the rather effective alarm they can be! | |

Thanks Ridgeback, great info for us. I will post up some pictures tomorrow with my vehicles lay out. It is actually half a meter shorter than a disco has two very comfortable full sized double beds and a cab bunk option for a fifth, full inside kitchen that can be used while both beds are down and loads more stuff to be wowed by.. I am not trying to show off but this last year has been a total learning curve. Jed | |

| VW's are rather tardis-like. Another in that category is the original Mini. It's still a marvel of design to this day. | |

After our recent North Africa trip I was thinking I wanted to up grade but I can not think of anything more versatile than a properly upgraded Syncro. I have been thinking Unimog but they are just not as agile as how I drive around at the moment with a smaller foot print than a Disco. Jed | |

| Does the Syncro have low box? I must admit I am rather biased towards the green oval. Mainly for spares and ease of repair!
