I fucking love camping
and it amuses me the reasons people give for not wanting to do it.

The place I typically go has better showers than most people have in their house (not stylish, but clean and very effective); we've got a big tent, which with the inflatable bed we've got and a couple of duvets is as comfortable as a proper bed; we can have fires; there is a tidal lagoon a short walk away; it's fucking heavenly, and I recommend you go there.

That sounds great
I do want to go caravaning around Europe, but Mark thinks it's not a good idea, as I'll want to see the cities at night too, so we'll end up paying for hotel anyway.

that's the difficulty
caravans aren't cheap, to buy or hire, and they aren't particularly cheap to get a proper pitch with electricity, and if you want to go into a city then you really don't want to have a caravan.

This is why I am getting an ordinary van and putting a bed in it.

That's not a bad idea
I just want to be able to tour around Europe but having a kitchen if I want to cook and a bed when I want to sleep.

I'm not bothering with a kitchen
I've got a portable barbecue and gas stove, which are fine.
