The Carado Banff has two under-bench compartment. One, is a large open storage area behind the passenger side that extends the entire length of the bench and is accessible from above by removing all of the cushions and lifting the 2 bed boards, or through the exterior doors.

One Can Never Have Too Many Shelves
The Carado Banff has a nice wardrobe area next to the bathroom. It has 3 large drawers, a small counter area, and a very large compartment where you can hang shirts etc. We don't really need the hanging area. Between our jobs in archaeology and construction, and the added horse farm activities, we own more … Continue reading One Can Never Have Too Many Shelves

A couple of delays in delivery, but here we are, driving our brand new campervan home. Actually Tony is driving and I am following behind in my car. He … Continue reading Bringing Our New Baby Home

We have always loved travelling; we backpacked through Europe and Asia in the 1980, and went on many trips with our daughters. Now that we are empty-nesters, our idea of fun is to travel as much as … Continue reading The Prequel – How We Got Here
