Campervan....

[pseudolus]

Scottish breakfast.IMHO

12 cans of lager?

Anyway, we've got people who have travelled all over Thailand on this board.

No one can think of places along Route 4 on that coast line that would make interesting camping?

[Mr Earl]

they are adopted from Hong Kongs death row shelter and brought here when I moved here.

Not very informative. You say a big dog. So what breed or mix are they?
How about some pics, you're proud of yor dogs give us us a picture or two.

You can camp on my land anytime you want. 50 clicks south of Ranong. 10 clicks from the beach.

I was more curious what bread they are ?

You don't give these mutts free run of your home do you ?

[Albert Shagnastier]

The much more practical and cheaper option is to use a big tent for your camping.

Would have to be pretty sturdy to prevent one of the dogs legging it......I explored this initially. Also the lack of aircon would piss me off. I'm not so concerned about the cash. But the very valid point of where I could go does concern me. Would park up anywhere, but thinking about it, Thailands not exactly set up for parking anywhere I guess.

You can stake the dogs under a tarp. For air con you can easily rig a fan off an inverter and second battery. How often are ya going camping anyhow? Simple and cheap is your answer amigo.

If ya really need aircon you're too pussy to go camping anyhow!

For the money, I reckon Earl's on the button. Chinese motors are shit. Reason is the quality of metal they use. It's shit. Gear boxes and engines fall apart (not the workings but the moulded casings). Add to that that you can't get parts.

I'd re-fit a commuter if you have cash, but Earl's pov is good. Buy a pickup and some plush tentage. Stick the dogs in the back. Stick a sun shade on if you want.

Very nice offer. I'll cook the steaks and get you drunk. Looks bloomin nice down that way.

Too small. Don't want a tent.

That style of bus as pictured is perfect. Mitsu make one as well. Not even started exploring the variety of options except on the 2nd hand truck website.

Come on lets see these mutts

For me Camping is all about going on the road Solo, so much easier to just pull up anywhere, anytime and pleb out.

We have brilliant territory in West Australia for the camper. That rig you're looking at would be perfect towing a trailer to throw all the shit in.

I get as far away from people as I can, my rig is totally self sufficient.

Throw in the wife and 3 dogs and it makes things quite complicated.

Good luck with it anyway mate.

Don't get me wrong mate - I'd have one of them too - and I know they're pricy.

Only advice would be

a) Buy new if possible - 2nd hand prices here are a joke (much too high)
b) Buy something made here so it's cheap in the first place (no tax), and you can get it fixed cheaply everywhere.

They are posted all over the forum in different places. This is about camping and campervans, Mr Kumquat....

Yeah - that's what I'm talking about.

Throw in the wife and 3 dogs and it makes things quite complicated.

I like spending time with the wife, and the dogs make me laugh. I take them to the pub and all sorts. I like them - they are good value. I spend enough time away from them, and the whole idea of a camper is that we can all go together.

[pseudolus]

Buy new if possible

Yeah - and the way thais care for vehicles, make it a bloody minefield. Will try for new. The other option is one of these



big money though, and the first thing i'd have to do to a brand new van is punch a load of holes in the panels lol .

[thaimeme]

Would be much more sound to rent or extended lease -
Better investment, as you never know how much real use you might get from it.

Value for the money spent.

Why not go Dutch with Terry ?

[Gravesend Dave]

This thread is specifically about being able to accommodate three large dogs(breed unknown) whilst camping.

Could we see the mutts please ?

[Gravesend Dave]

terry wont take the dogs on !!

[thaimeme]

Why not go Dutch with Terry ?

What about the missus.....and more importantly, the dogs?

No - you might try to eat them.

Being a thread nazi, this thread is actually about

1) easy to drive / special license
2) places around thailand where I could park up / recommendations camps sites outside of national parks
3) experiences of others (slimchance it seems) of camping here.

In your mind you believe what you like, however, it is not about my dogs.

Good idea. Going to prepare the fruit right now.

Hey mate, maybe you can buy Dave's Pikey Van.

But then again No, bad idea, its more than likely fuked.

Nice manicure and lovely dainty hands....[kinda pasty]

Google picture. Not me.

Anyway, where do you live, Yoda? Where in your region is nice and picturesque, unfuct by industry, and able to pull up a van and kip, waking up to a nice view, clean air ?

Lets start getting some useful suggestions perhaps?
