Deja vu.......

Well, it's happening again ! Those of you that followed will trials and tribulations of Damoscamperblog will know how much I have wanted to do it again at some stage after having to sell Scooby to raise some cash way back last year. Through the experience that the T4 gave me, we have some clear guidelines for a future camper that we felt the T4 fell down on. To start with, a better base engine. The feeling of despair last time when the engine blew on it's first outing I do not want a repeat of. Secondly, more room, we would like to use the camper as a convenient base and a stopover vehicle for the various shows we do around the country. If you remember we do alot of Dog Rescue and go to dog shows to raise money for the charities. I'm a photographer, and have a portable studio at the shows for pet photography. Each photo i sell, I donate £5 to the charity or rescue that has organised the show. So I need storage for my huge tent. If staying away over night, the third must have is a safe well ventilated caging system for any dogs we may take with us. This will also double as a vehicle to use for transporting rescue dogs in the middle of the night too, meaning you have somewhere comfortable to grab a few hours sleep.

So after much research and thought, we decided on an ex Ambulance, they have special auctions for them, and you can pick up real bargains. Our Ambulance of choice was the community Ambulance Renault Master LWB, these are ideal as they already have windows all round, and are fully insulated. Being NHS vehicles they are well serviced too.

So there we have it, did we find one ? Some of you already know, read the next entry to find out ;).
