Today we said good-bye to our camp-ah! We'll trully miss it - after 6 weeks together on New Zealand, it became part of the family. It's hard to believe, but it had over 93 thousand miles on the clock when we were picking it up and then survived more than 4,000 miles with us
Sleeping in the camp-ah! was surprisingly comfortable - even for a person of my height. Moreover, the sleeping area can be very easily converted to a dining room, plus most of the space can be used as storage. Whoever came up with this should be awarded a medal. The back section was fitter with a simple "kitchen", with gas stove, etc. Most of the camps we used offered so called "powered sites", where you can plug in an extension cord and turn on the heater. If it had a bathroom, I think I'd exchange it for my apartment :)
Driving on the left was no problem for me - Kacka was struggling a bit in the begining. Good thing camp-ah! had automatic transmittion.
Just in case you'd like to do the same think and would like to have a basic idea about costs - the 6 weeks rental came to about 1000 USD. However, that's primarily due to the fact that it was mostly off-season rate plus somehow we squeezed them for 25% discount on top :) Gas is cheap (~1.30 USD/L) and camping usually ended up in the range of 20-30 USD/night. We could've camped in the free areas w/o the power and facilities, but nights were cold and I'm old :)
