Have spent many anight in a transit van back, kiping poaching drinking sleeping amongst deer. Nevr bothered me mate, it is the biggest old vechile colt going so there must be some comfort there. Plus you wouldnt get a big box camper through the mountains where we are going..And her dads lives in 1, so to tell the truth, i am sick of the sight of them,lol. Especially when i look at the hills at the back and he is sleeping in it for a month at a time.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quick question to anyone who might know, What is the law when it comes to drinking in camper vans etc as l always thought if the police caught you drunk with the key on you even in a stationary vehicle, you would still get done for being drunk in charge of a vehicle? cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
