In 2004 I bought a new VW T5 California before they were available in the UK..the Comfortline 175bhp model...the most versitle vehicle in the world .

Sold it last year to the Director of VW Commercial Vehicles in West Yorkshire and replaced it with a VW Caddy Maxi Life which I converted to a part time camper using German equipment.
Love it..can transport my parents easily and great for Goodwood Revival etc. 55mpg...140 pounds tax..quality vehicle...but rare to find.

Here's a shot outside the "leaky shed' I live in in the middle of a forest,

That is a monster of an outfit and probably the cost of a terraced house but losing money fast.

For some reason swmbo always looks at the Morgan and describes it as a caravan just waiting to transform. I have purchased the second Mog so she can call the first one what she likes. Caravaning into retirement is a big thing in Australia and we even call summer in the Northern part, the Time of the Grey Nomads or the Granny Season. Not everyone has vans, and we have very few Wannabagels. Not sure if you have these in the UK, but I am sure someone could modify this to get a Morgan on top scared

A few years ago, travelling on a German autobahn, I saw a Morgan towing a caravan. Just a small classic caravan, probably built from plywood, a bit like the one my grandfather built in the 1950's. I'm not promoting this as a new way to use a Mog, just noting that anything is possible. A small campervan sounds perfect for the mission you've described.

How can a Morgan owner comment on "roughing it" when he drives a leaky Morgan around the UK and has to wear water proofs to stay dry in his/her car.

We don't rough it, we stay at the best, with good facilities.

However we are thread drifting and i agree with SBM if you want some freedom the Campa-van will give you it all and be versatile too.
