The tailgate switch is genius. I have found setting the alarm whilst in it almost impossible as it can only be done from the drivers seat. I then make an undignified mission impossible clamber to the back seats! 

 

I came up with another option of using the interior door closed but not alarm switch under the radio area. It then enables me to use the boot opening button on my key remote to unlock the boot from the inside. I then tug the rubber interior tailgate loop handle and it opens.

 

My water storage is an electric kettle 1.6lL with water pump at the top. I purchased when in Thailand and got the electric plug changed for uk. It's fine if I heat it before I set off or if I do a hook up. Definitely will look into getting a leisure battery. I hadn't thought of the spare wheel space. 

 

My system works best with the seats remaining but I loose storage space. :(

 

I also got made to measure stick on black out blinds for mine. Peakvanconversions.weebly.com

 

Another girlie thing I got was a reliance fold to go toilet where bags and soluble granules are used. It came from America. It's compact but only one leg folds easily! 

 

Are you aware of the Britstop scheme? Free overnight stays in exchange for a drink or meal at a pub?

This conversion is amazing. Fantastic use of space. I am envious of the sink. The bed also folds away really small. It looks like you have removed your rear seats. Do you have a leisure battery or do you plug in your cool box?

Hi,

 

I think the Packa Shack "Hatch" is probably too small/low to fit very well. The Original is probably better.

 

The Amdro Boot Tent also fits (more expensive ~£400 - heavy duty cloth and a window)

 

 

 

The Outdoor Revolution Movelite 2 - 2015 is great if you want more space for a longer stay (add 2 poles for extra main door awning) - Got mine for £300 on the bay.

Now called the Movelite T2 Low (very much the same as 2016 version that needs extra kit for door awning)

The Quechua Base Seconds pop up shelter also works on the side door and is cheapish, quick and small to pack ???

Hi thanks for the awning advice I will keep the other ones in mind. The photos are great, wish I had joined the forum ages ago.

 

As I was unsure how suitable the packashak hatch would be I purchased one off eBay.  I am yet to go off camping with it but so far so good. I think my only drawback might be no windows and that my tailgate needs to remain up.

Hi there. Thanks for your reply and advice. It's a hard to find something as easy to use as the packashak. I would like a free standing tent so will look into that.

 

Omg you have an amdro conversion that looks fab. Mine was based on that idea. I love the Amdro product. Are you in a Berlingo now? How is that to drive compared to the Roomster?

 

Wishing you happy times camping.

Hi camper, 

 

looks cool!! I used the hatch but i think it only fits because it is lowered. Therefore would recommend the original though must warn you it wouldn't add much space really. 

 

Min my opinion you want some kind of gazebo/cook tent that you reverse right up to. Khyam do quick erect cook tents that would be ideal I think. 

 

Attached is a picture of my new camping setup

Hi there,

 

I have recently got a peak van conversion unit for my Skoda. I am looking to order a packashak as I need more space. Did you purchase the 'original' or 'hatch' packashak. The company owner thinks it might be the 'hatch'.

 

Hope that you can help me decide on which one.
