Now that all the camp sites are closing does anyone have a large garden where we can pitch up? Showers and toilets would be a bonus.

We camped in our garden for 3 months when our bungalow was being rebuilt so we know it’s possible. Sadly as we’re in isolation due to medical issues no one can come and join us. I’ve definitely decided once it’s a little bit warmer (fair weather camper) we’re going to abandon the house and go away to our drive. The bungalow will be site office and toilet block. Not going to be done out of my Eribaing

Short of turning the Troll through 180 degrees, and losing the spare wheel, I don't think we could get ours to sit level on our steep drive.
But I may have to try this just to see if it's possible for an Eriba Staycation.

We are not allowed caravans on our drive but the van is only 2" too high to go into the garage & I am toying with the idea of smaller wheels to get it in & leave the car outside.Appart from the convenience it would save £350 in storage fees.Don't think I would live in it in the garage though.dave

Or could you deflate the tyres, push the van in the garage then inflate?

Have you ever tried pushing a vehicle with flat tyres?

Instant hernia.

I think I've already told the story somewhere else on here of a German couple who, last year, laughed their socks off when I used the obviously British term "Push Bike".

you could try something like this - does'nt really matter if they break as they are cheap. Just to get it in the garage with flat tyres or maybe with wheels removed. Probably would need a very smooth surface though I suppose

If you let the tyres down are an olympic weightlifter then you could with the rest of the squad manage to push the van in. Unfortunately you would also probably wreck the tyre. Don't do it.
It think your options are:-
- smaller rims and tyres.
- spare tyre less rims running on strips of plywood to protect your floor.
Or seeing as you are stuck at home for the next ?? weeks, dig a couple of trenches in the floor.
