Great idea this camping thread. We've just got an XTR, partly because of it being a great camping car. The idea is just to whack down an airbed and put the tent as close as poss to the side door to put our stuff in and we have the option of sleeping in tent or car depending on weather etc. If that doesn't work we'll get a drive away awning. The only problem I can see is privacy. We did wonder about tinting windows but I guess you can still be seen with a light on and I always wonder whether the pondlife will take tints to mean you have stuff worth nicking and break in to check - maybe I'm paranoid. Anyway, missus is good with curtains etc but how do we put a rail up without drilling into the car? Has anyone done anything similar?
Dave.

Have seen curtain track and sticky fixers ( double sided pads ) used to great effect in VDubs before? Is cheap, but you can only have lightweight curtains..... Welcome to the forum anyhow and good luck!!

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Hi
I think thats what I will do too. I have tried to get someone professional to convert my Berlingo keeping all seats to no avail!
I have always camped and putting a mattress etc in the back of the van (if bad weather) seems the only option.
Also found that the silver screen blinds can be put up with suctions all around the windows, couldn't get proper blinds from anywhere either.

Hi
I have ended up making blinds out of the silver screen blinds because I couldn't find anyone who makes proper blinds.
I bought a lot of suctions so they stick to the glass because I didn't want to drill anywhere.
I am taking my small tent for storing my stuff as theres not much room in a Berlingo.

I thought about built in stuff for my Forte. However, I found that a carp fisherman's camp bed just fits with the double back seat taken out and the drivers seat pushed forward. They come with adjustable legs so cope with the change in levels for the floorpan. I doubt that a bed could be nmade which is as comfortable and it doubles as a sun lounger. It lives in the top box. Shallow storage boxes go under it.
The tailgate itself is an awning and a longish windbreak does the rest. A collapsible table is handy and I use 2 small washig up bowls and one of those square camping cookers which cook like a gas stove at home - that is the kitchen, but I do like takeaways ...

I wonder if the seats from the Synergie/C8 or Peugeot equivalents could be made to fit?

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
