Camping in 3.5 van

[Vodkagirly]

I saw a post on the NC500 and thought I'd love to do that if I had motor home, then I wondered if I could use the horse box....
It's a standard movano conversion and I use it regularly so I wouldnt want to do anything permanent but I know people camp in them at shows so could I make it work?
Advice and suggestions gratefully recieved

Following as this is something i have been looking at too. I know someone who has made a folding base that hooks onto brackets in the jockey area......she is tiny though, i would worry about it breaking

I sleep in my 3.5T at TREC weekend events... it's already got a sink / hob and I bought a folding bed from Amazon. Lets camp in their trailers and use a portable BBQ / gas ring thing.

Done it often in the past. Much more room without horse stuff and space to pop cycles in if necessary.
Camping gaz ring or 2.
Washing up bowl.

Look up camping/staying overnight in horsebox threads - lots of them

Not a horse box but I rough it and wild camp in my van..
I have a single mattress that goes down in it
Stick battery fairy lights up to save using van lights
Have a has camping stove
Have a folding BBQ

And a polystyrene fridge box that with 2 massive ice blocks keeps food /milk drinks cold for 48 hours

Down sides ....toilets I have no issues squatting for a pee in the dark ..but daylight different issues lol

We were lucky in that our van's partition and breast bar were removable. So we'd get to a stayway show and clear the horse stuff out of the lorry. Big throw down on the floor, 2 folding camp beds, set up camping table, gas stove, and we had hook up, so TV, fridge, lights etc all worked off of that
