New Wave Conversions

[calibusje]

That’s the issue with lots of conversions.
Can look really good, until you try and load it up. The biggest issue, is clothes. Clothes can take up a lot of room, when you’re travelling for a couple of weeks…

Clothes can take up a lot of room… unless you take with you for one week and clean them. Possible almost everywhere. It’s really a gamechanger. We do it often at a launderette in a beautiful village or town and have a drink in the bus or in a tearoom.

I’ve only done that once, and that was the little one had a sickness bug. No way am I spending a couple of days on my Euro trips washing clothes…

Oh, I’m sorry: I don’t think you know what I’m talking about then. It’s not cleaning children's clothing that has been puked up I’m referring to. Keep carrying lots of clothes then? I just tried to give a (valuable) tip. Not tried to make you go mad. If not for you, maybe for others?
Edit: a couple of days, you say really? We’re four and it takes about an hour once a week. For example: three weeks: two washes. That’s all it takes.

Thanks.
But, I’m on holiday. The last thing I want is chores.
Each to their own…

Yes, I just think: I don’t carry clothes for three weeks when I’m on holiday, nor a big pile dirty ones in a bag and I saved space. Anyway, I didn’t mention the biggest issue being clothes so just tired to help.
Maybe once you’ll see me drinking a coffee and taking a rest in the shade while the clothes are being washed and shake your head ruefully but know I’m totally fine with it even if it’s considered a chore. I have lots of spare time on my travels. And these are not the only ‘chores’ when travelling (that van doesn’t stay clean out of itself while on holiday ), yes, I do bring an small hand brush in the cali.
But as you said, to each his own and I'm sure we do things that others see in a different way.
Happy travels!

Now this I like: a small brush and a dustpan but also if you would need a small bin-like thing: there it is. Perfect! We try to see multiple features of different articles that we take with us. And as @Corradobrit said: should fit perfectly in the door pocket.
