RE: Citroen Berlingo Stealth Camper
Easily repeatable.
I prefer just having an inflaitable matress in the boot, then laying all the seats flat. Works well if you have a long car like an estate or saloon.

Well, it's a citroen. I love small campers, but if it's a BOV then you want something RELIABLE! Unfortunately any French car isn't.

I have driven a Berlingo for 4 years now and have NEVER had any trouble with it....

Ah, yes, but you don't drive it like you stole it. Unless that big beard driving a berlingo that went flying down the road, screaming like a banshee, sending innocent pedestrians fleeing for their life was YOU!!!???!!!
They're alright if you don't do too many miles. Lot of those engines are ally, and don't take too well to much over 70/80,000 miles. I had my citroen for about 6 days (if that) before I cooked the engine. Water was coming out faster than the hosepipe could put it in!
Maybe it's just me though? I've killed a few in my time
Err, that last bit came out wrong! I've killed a few CARS in my time. Not random hookers I picked up. Honest.

yeah, but your half my age, I bet you drive like "sh't off a shovel", I no longer have to drive like I've got something to prove!

RE: Citroen Berlingo Stealth Camper
I just remember my old chum Phil has a self build Berlingo camper, well its a day van actually cos he put a maggiliona roof tent on top of the van and kept kitchen and loo etc inside. His has done 149,000 miles and still goes quite well.

Aye, motorways I'm about average, 90ish most of the way. Nothing excessive or dangerous. With little'un though and the bloke who drive Miss Daisy overtakes me.
Anyway, you can't drive fast with 3 and 3/4 wheels and only 3 gears
