Just bought an (older) VW Caravelle, and although have driven it no probs starting to panic about going to hosp, as you can never get a space and even with the focus I could hardly get out the door! Wondering if we were mad...but will be great for camping???

Thought of that but what happens if I have 2 drivers doors next 2 my space?. Managed to park in ASDAs tiny spaces yesterday so hopefully...i'll manage, I suppose there is a few spaces at the end of the car park where it curves that I could wait an hour for...hoping labour isn't imminent and hoping Ive got plenty of cash on me..

You'll get the hang of it, we've got VW transporter long wheel base...huge... I love it, but spent lots of time learning how to manouver it with a couple of hiccups along the way! I feel so safe in it and would never go back to a smaller vehicle even when the dc's are big!!!
Good luck

You don't know by any chance where I could get the middle lapbelts changed to lap & diagonals? Anywhere in the West midlands
