    Welcome to our fifth episode of the alternative living podcast! At the end of September we were invited to spend the weekend at Camp Quirky, hosted by Quirky Campers, who had around 30 self build camper vans all lined out beautifully in a sunny field in the cotswolds for a couple of nights. There was so much inspiration for us as we are planning on buying a bigger van in the new year, so it was amazing to see so many different lay outs and chat to so many people who have done it themselves. As usual we filmed the whole thing, so here's a link to the film where you can see all the vans we got to see.As well as a host of gorgeous vans we met up with some familiar faces, including Rich from Beyond The Van who we've recorded the next podcast with, and Ellie and Scott who we met back in August to create a film about their gorgeous van Florence.
