Hi,

Just wondering, has anyone else gone camping in a small car, like a VX220 or Elise? My brother and I are driving from Hampshire to Belgium, for the grand prix, then down to Germany where we’re staying with family, then down to Italy again for the grand prix where we’re in a hotel. Then back up stopping off at camp sites.

So, how do you cope with the small luggage space?! As far as I can see, there’s no room at all and we’ll have quite a lot of gear as we’re away for nearly 2 weeks. Any tips or photos for me?! We’re thinking of using an anti slip rubber matting used on boats on the boot lid for securing a duffle bag or the tent with cam straps. If the weather is nice, we’ll leave the roof at home too!

Cheers,

Dan

We've done a trial run, should be ok!

The tent and sleeping bags fit behind the seats, so that leaves the boot for clothes and camping supplies. I think we're all set now, head off on Thursday! Here's the car...
