Forget camping – get a taste of ‘Van Life’ in a kitted out motorhome

I AM on a weekend campervan trip to Suffolk and my boyfriend and I are relaxing with a beer, while our toddler toasts a marshmallow on the campfire.

I should feel content but FOMO has been gnawing away at me since we left home. I’m envious of the owner of the van we have rented and the limitless trips they get to make each year.

We are renting a Fiat Tribute 669 for three nights from Camptoo, a kind of Airbnb for campervans.

The website should come with a warning — it will spoil regular camping for ever and have you pining for your own motorhome.

Of course, if you don’t have a spare £15,000 in the bank, this is a great way to experience the Instagram-famous #VanLife.

A couple of months earlier, I’d browsed the site and found this six-metre camper with its own kitchenette, shower, toilet and a big plus — two double beds.
