Tonke Campers
Posted by Kate Sullivan
A friend and fanatical camper-van admirer sent me a link to this Dutch website, Tonke Campers. These beautiful hand-crafted wooden units have the combined look of classic yachts and gypsy caravans with quality, retro styled interiors.
The functionality of these carriages look fabulous and there seems to be heaps of space in them too. I like the fact you can release the carriage from the vehicle allowing you to set up camp so you are then able to drive off without having to make sure everything inside is secure and put away.
As you would expect, they're not cheap but if holidaying in one rather than owning one is tempting, then there are two Fieldsleepers available for hire.
Unfortunately, the site doesn't have a English version but with the help of Babel Fish and a little linguistic imagination, you can get the gist of what Tonke Campers are all about.
