It has good lighting and heating and a rear lift designed for wheelchairs but which often takes G's motor scooter, and so it is easy to load. All but three pairs of

I visited West Stow many years ago (can't remember how old I was, but definitely under 18) and it made quite an impression on me. I keep meaning to go back and see it with adult eyes but haven't got round to it yet. What have they got there these days?

My parents once made a not-quite-campervan (designed for day trips, so for eating in but not sleeping in) out of an ambulance that had been retired from the local St. John's brigade (and before that it had been retired from the NHS). It was fun while it lasted, but it needed too much maintenance and wasn't really practical as the only car - we couldn't afford to run more than one. I think the experience of driving my family over the Orwell bridge in a rather windy hailstorm might have been the straw that broke the camel's back, though. I expect yours is probably a bit more comfortable.
