Sounds much the same as my default technique! I mean to say, if you were to go in
forwards then you'd have to watch your footing very carefully on the way out..
But, as a thing to pull into the show field behind a jalopy of similar period, that does catch my eye and it's got to be both bigger inside and less scary to drive than a Tandy Fox camper, itself a masterpiece of packaging but the only time I've driven one any distance, the wind was serious about its work and I was grateful for the Fox's vinyl upholstery, which allowed evidence of my state of distress to be hosed out onto the road before I delivered the van to its new
forever home (if that sort of patter is good enough for animal charities, then it's good enough for me..). I'd actually quite like a Sprite Ariel, 400 or Cadet to tug along behind the daily motor as it needs a light van, seeing as Yamaha saw fit to endow the Liftback's engine with no great absence of power at the north end of the rev counter
, but less torque than a moped low down
.
I also like the Portafold and its close relation the Anusfold, GRP monocoque vans that are clever, warm and sometimes even dry. I once came close to buying a Portafold but I joined the owners' forum and was put off for life.
