We have just purchased our Pod, named Linny-Pod.... From a VW Transporter Campervan conversion, to a trailer to put all the camping gear in, to a "GO POD" (http://www.go-pods.co.uk/).
What we consider to be the best Micro Caravan for your money, we looked at the Swift Base Camp, Freedom, Eriba, Barefoot and found this one to be best value.
So hopefully lots of Adventures in our Linny-Pod to be had in the future, getting out and seeing the country and wildlife. Touring Scotland and the south of England, we are now looking forward to our travels.
Some pictures and more to follow from our first adventure soon......
