The one

[branchandroot]

I have discovered the camper I want to get when I retire. Behold, the Affinity camper van. This is it, this is my rolling hotel suite for one. It's an open-plan camper van, I love it to death. It has solar panels and charging points everywhere, and a full kitchen, and a bathroom with shower tucked in there, and it still looks sleek and un-crowded. Even better, the black-water tank isn't built in, it's a removable rolling tank, which means I could take this baby up to Leelanau State Park, the very definition of a rustic campground.

You can really, really tell that a Scandinavian company was a major partner in this. It's just so slick. Everything folds and unfolds and lifts and rolls perfectly into place or out of the way. The open sight-lines and natural light were clearly a major design priority. Similarly the assumption that you need space for your bike way more than you need a huge television screen. (Accurate.) Likewise, it comes standard with a heater; you pay extra for the optional AC.

So, all in all, it's probably a good thing that I have fifteen years to a) save up and b) wait for it to be available in or shippable to the US. Or, just possibly, for another manufacturer to get with the program, but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

Isn't it fantastic? I may have actually squeaked out loud when I saw the video of that.

It's good to have a dream!

Absolutely! It'll be forever until I can actually take extended vacations, so I might as well save for the perfect equipment while I wait.

I was joking you could tell that a Scandinavian company was involved bc of the length of the master bed haha -- slightly longer than a standard bed
