I have a great big American style camper, what is called an RV or Recreational Vehicle in the US. Anyone in Europe would just say WOW or Blimey! Look at that!!
My RV is an old Gulftream Sunclipper and is incredibly lo-tech. Big solid engineering, no finesse and a SIX LITRE motor. The Sunclipper has a nice roomy bedroom, which, if I must be honest, is actually more comfortable and with better storage space than my own bedroom in the fixed-down house. It has a gas furnace to deliver heated water and hot air for cold nights. It has an air conditioning unit that will suck the heat out of a small star and a self-contained kitchen that will cook just about anything as well as having the usual shower and loo.
Last week, I had a quick job to do down past Saint Nazaire in France so I took the whole family, piled them in the bus and off we went. Chrissy and the kids all hung out at the beach and I went to work for a few days doing tech stuff. Of course, in my line of work it's of huge importance to be well connected so I have converted part of my storage space to a sort of server room. I have a PC which has a 3G dongle, WIFI on board, a printer and other good stuff.
I think I just became a techno-gypsy!
