What they say about us ...
Each of our camper vans has an adventure log in the glove comparment. Here are a few of your comments:
50th birthday celebration via friends & family to show off The Colonel. Everyone taliking about the Vdub. River Cottage HQ Summer Event evening - fantastic! Loved the trip, loved the van, going to buy one! Thanks for everything Deb, service with passion! Julie & Glen August 2010
Today Colonel Mustard took us to the prom (& a little trip around the town to show off) It was lovely, we arrived & left in style with the fairy lights & bubble machine, and us all hanging out of the sun roof! thank you very very much. Lucy, Cass, Danni, Holly & Amy July 2010
'Thanks very much for an absolutely fantastic weekend. Bobby Brown was a total joy and we pottered round Suffolk in the sunshine without a care in the world! Thought you might like to see Lucy's drawing of Bobby - please note, my bingo wings are not THAT bad and I did not spend the entire weekend dressed as a 'hula girl'!! Can recommend the campsites we stayed at: www.stmargaretscampsite.co.uk (Shottisham, small and quiet site, playground and pub nearby) and www.carltonpark.info (Saxmundham, larger site but still quiet, lots of showers, very good playground). Thanks again for everything! The Walker family July 2010.jpg "Bobby Brown by Lucy")

" ... So, 2 big kids and 2 wee kids and a baby have simply had the best celebration ... thanks to Nomad Living for the extra little touches that really made it special. September 2009. The Thacker family.
"We consist of two grown-ups, one nine year old and a one and a half year old. I have to say that we were a bit apprehensive about doing this type of holiday but we were all chuffed with the experience. Deb and Penny have enhanced their attention to detail with Al. We will definately be recommending them... All in all a fandabidozi holiday..." May 2009. Sharp family.
"Deb and Penny - thank you for making the last three days the most memorable of my life. I will be sad to see Colonel Mustard go but I know I will be seeing him again. A massive thanks for making the wedding." April 2009. Dipesh and Rakhi.
"We took our grandchildren to Donnington Park to see the Moto GP. Saturday it did not stop raining and on Sunday it was very windy but Al did us proud. What a wonderful experience. The girls did us proud. They had thought of everything and, Debs, we certainly enjoyed those rolls for breakfast. We would certainly recommend this experience. We had a lovely time and the grandchildren thought it was great. We all have some lovely memories of an experience we want to repeat. Thank you Penny and Debs." June 2008. Roy and Sue.
"We were so tired of being alone, so we mustered a group of fifteen, parked near a little lake, got rained on, got blown away, got singe-ed by a huge fire, got the best bacon sandwiches in the world, then snuggled up in Al and decided "let's get married". One day like this a year would see us right ..." August 2008. The poetry of secret celebrity guest inspired by lyrics of Al Green.
"Big Al was given to me as a surprise wedding present from my new wife. He took me to the wedding. He outshone the Daimler in all of the photos. He is a pleasure to drive and I haven't stopped smiling since meeting him. Thanks Nomad for making the best day of my life just a little bit better ..." August 2008. Gary and Jane.
"Wonderful weekend. The welcoming at our arrival was warm and friendly and the freshly made bread was delicious. Bobby Brown was just as we had dreamt about ..." April 2009. Chiara and Giulie.
"This morning the newly-wed Mr. and Mrs. Collis are cooking burgers and chips on the beach at Hunstanton - it's beautiful. We have had a really fantastic honeymoon in Colonel Mustard and have been all the way across Norfolk and Suffolk ..." August 2008. Mr. and Mrs. Collis.
"The Colonel proudly led the convoy from Walberswick to Henham, where 13 adults and 16 kids parked by the lake and made camp in the woods. Al, Bobby and The Colonel kept us dry in the rain. We woke up to blue skies, bacon sandwiches and a boat ride on the lake. Great memories the kids will treasure for ever ..." Tracy. August 2008
"Everywhere we went we got waved to and looked at - Al being the stunner he is gets a lot attention! He drove like a dream and the beds are so comfy that we often didn't get off the campsites in time. A massive thank you to Deb and Pen who have helped our wedding memories and photos look so good." August 2008. Sarah and Myles.
"My surprise wedding anniversary present from my wife - 25 years celebration ... had a great time and would do it again, loved all the attention we got and are now fully converted to VW campervans." June 2008. Deb and Mark.
