UNUSUAL VEHICLES YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY SLEEP IN

-

WINNEBAGO JOURNEY 40P

The top-cat ‘C’ Winnie is a 40ft-long monster with separate bathrooms and sleeping capacity for four. A 50in TV means evenings spent in Premier Inn car parks would be less monotonous, while a 454-litre diesel tank would mean fewer fuel stops.

TORSUS TERRASTORM

More bus than camper but with seating for 21, the Torsus has more than enough room to stretch out if you’re flying solo. Based on a Volkswagen Crafter 4Motion van chassis, it has 250mm of ground clearance and rally-bred suspension, so even Wales’s cattle grids won’t upset it.

RIVIAN R1T

Like the Mclaren, this electric pickup truck has a disappoint­ing lack of bathroom facilities. But it does have an in-built slide-out kitchen, so a hot meal is never far away, and third-party companies have already made tents that fit on the flat load bed.

VW GRAND CALIFORNIA

With a lineage stretching back to the air-cooled ‘Splittie’, the Grand California takes the van-basedmotor­home formula to the max. With an on-board toilet and shower, you don’t even have to get out of it for a bathroom break.
