2012 will be the year if the campervan! (Well, Eurovans thinks so)
It's not even half way through winter yet but Eurovans is already thinking about the summer months. Not only are we looking forward to sunny days and warm nights (hopefully), we are also very excited about the fact that Eurovans will be offering California Campervans again!
Meet the Volkswagen California. Reminisant of the split-window campervan, the California will come in very useful during the festival season and if you can't afford a holiday to the Bahamas.
The California boasts four wheel drive, a fridge, cooker and sleeping accommodation for up to four people. Much more comfortable than a tent I would say!
Few other car manufacturers build bespoke campervans, but you can buy or build a conversion from a van or you could opt for a coach-built motorhome, though they tend to be expensive. Although the California has many perks, it lacks washing or toilet facilities making it more of a couple-of-nights-away-from-home type of vehicle.
Is it Right for You?
If you have a hobby or interest, like motor racing, fishing or music festivals, which takes you away from home a couple of nights at a time, it is perfect.
The interior is cleverly laid out with seats that slide, rotate and fold, numerous drawers and hidden cubbies, an awning that can be winched out and a canvas roof that is raised electrically.
There are even two tables stowed smartly away, one that you can pull out into the middle of the floor between the two sets of seats, the other a fold-out table that you can take outside. In a pouch in the boot are two deckchairs, while inside there's a small wardrobe, and a fridge that runs off its own battery supply.

The Transporter Sportline - A little bit of luxury
The Transporter Sportline
The Volkswagen Transporter Sportline. A jack of all trades, the van will lug a kitchen sink around during the day and give the Mondeos and Vectras hogging the outside lane a fright at night.
Volkswagen have taken the regular Transporter and has added on body-coloured bumpers and door handles, newly chromed grille, snazzy side rails and a rear spoiler. The Sportline runs on 18-inch six-spoke alloys, sitting 30mm closer to the ground thanks to lowered Eibach springs.
If you are lookihng for a van that will impress, come along to Eurovans where we have a range used Transporter Sportlines available.

Lanes Kawasaki Racing Weekend
LANES KAWASAKI SPONSORED BY EUROVANS
It was a big weekend for the Lanes Kawasaki team with Alex and James both in action. The Lanes Kawasaki, who is sponsored by Eurovans, made the long journey to the Desert Martin Track in Northern Ireland for the 5th Round of the Maxxis British Championship and the second round of the youth MXYZ Championship.
Alex
In the MX1 Practice, Alex managed to qualify 7th which put him into the super pole where he eventually ended in 8th position, giving him a good opportunity on the start gate. During the MX1 Race, Alex came across the line in a very respectable 4th place and in the MX2 race he was placed 5th. In the final race, Alex finished 6th giving him 4th place overall on the day.
James
In the MXY2, James started the session on his race bike but the suspension set up wasn't to his liking so in the last 5 minutes of the qualifying session, James changed to his number 2 bike where he got one last lap in and qualified 3rd which also put him in a good position on the gate.
In the MXY2 Race 1, James finished in first place. In the MXY2 Race 2, however, disaster struck. James got cross rutted up the face of a jump which sent him out of the track; he landed in a deep water filled ditch which made it impossible for him to get out of and was unable to carry on the race.
