Life in the fast lane

Caravans are so last season – this summer, anyone who’s anyone will be heading out in a smart camper van, like this one from John Crane.

The PINTOY Camper Van (priced around £40) is half home, half vehicle, perfect for the supplied family of four to enjoy the long summer holiday, or just a day trip into the country for a picnic. The paint job is a rather daring silver and the side panel and top can be removed to gain access to the stylishly appointed living area inside.
