Wannabee camper

[Bruntonpasty]

Hello, new poster here, with questions....many questions....

So, here goes...... I've got the van(T6 swb highline) and I want to get sorted out for a bit of weekend camping. Not got a massive budget and the van is to be a work van primarily so not going to spend loads of coin. I want to keep the van as bedroom area and have an awning to cook/eat/sit. I have seen a Vango bondi which is a decent brand and fairly cheap, it would seem fairly ideal? opinions please? My big question is, how this fits to my van? Is it essential to have a fixed rail to the van? Are more temporary methods possible? Are they any good?

That'll do for a start.... Ta in advance for any replies/suggestions.

Most people have a multirail... but there are a few options such as the fixed windout awning or attachments that fix to roof bars to mount the awning... i stuck with a reimo multirail, so can't comment on the others. Good luck and hope you enjoy your trips..!

Cheers Jason, hoping to get to the Superbikes this season if they do actually get started......fingers crossed!!

Bondi also comes with over vehicle straps so you could get away with no rail

Tbh, I thought I'd read that, it probably just didn't compute! I think, for my purposes, that would probably be ideal actually. I'm not worried about drilling into the van or stuff like that , I just want to find out what in general works best for me, and maybe even "the wife"? lol.....
