When I used to go camping I had an Estima Aeras, I used a 2.5 - 3.0m square awning /tent I used to fit to the vehicle. It had a built in groundsheet. You could roll up some of the sides. If you wanted to go out for the day you detatched it from the vehicle and zipped it up. Its held up with rods that click together. I used to rotate the middle row of seats. Take out the back 3rd row and I made a wooden bed base and put a mattress on it. sleeping in Estima under a duvet, heaven. I used the tent part to wash, prepare meals and eat in, stopped using it and I will see if I can find the name of it or some pictures, probably in an old computer

Hi Michael 

Thinking about something for additional living space and don't want to go into Megabucks.

Would be happy to buy second hand if one for sale and happy to pay extra for carriage.

Lovely campervan for my wife and I and our dog but extra space would be great.

Our van has the side kitchen fitted.

Look forward to hearing from you with any more info, thanks in advance.

Hello  Brian

The photographs I have of the driveaway tent, are locked in an old computer and I cannot remember the password to get into it. The awning tent itself is in a shed outside my backdoor. The padlock is seized up and I am going to have to cut it off. At least if you had a name, you could look it up on the Internet. I see you are up in Scotland and if weather is kind to us I will be driving up to Scotland next Saturday, to a village called Palnakie about 55 miles from Carlisle. I live in West Sussex near Selsey. I will report back later this evening if I find the name

Disaster ......... I pulled out the 2 bags it was in and on a quick inspection there are holes in  the tent material. So sorry now not available

Hi Michael 

Thanks for all your efforts and time,this was very kind of you to try and help.

We will keep our eyes open and for next year hopefully we will find something suitable.

Have a safe journey if coming to Scotland but watch out for snow as I heard it is coming soon.

Again all the very best for now and thanks for your time and efforts.

Best regards 

Brian
