MORE ABOUT THE LIBERTY CRUISER

Our new home is a caravan and we have taken off into the savannahs of Africa. I have not finished the tale of what is in our home away from home and I'm sure that although this all sounds very romantic, some must think I have taken leave of my senses.  So let me share some more about how we've set about making a nomadic existence (for a while at least) more comfortable.

One thing was clear from the start. I was not returning to my days of Bachelor Flats for anything. Kitchens and bedrooms should never be in one space. And so, we searched for an alternative which of course Liberty Caravans provided.

Its a very functional space and is on the outside of the caravan as I just cannot abide the smell of food in a bedroom. There are two nifty fold out doors that reveal the cooking area and the fridge area.  In the cooking area all tucked away into lightweight steel drawers is a Snappy Chef 2 plate gas stove. There is also a Miele 12l Air Fryer and then a couple of drawers and shelves all neatly storing crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. The fold out door is on cables and acts as a work top when open. The drawers have been fitted with foam inserts that protect the crockery and wine glasses (it was very necessary to ensure safe passage for wine glasses!). The fridge/freezer is a 66 litre 12v DC/220v AC fridge that easily keeps us in meat for a month at a time.

The inside of the caravan, then, is the bedroom, lounge area and bathroom. The bedroom was fitted with two very comfortable single beds to optimise the space available and because of that choice we gained two spacious cupboards for clothes as well as a cupboard above the beds into which linen etc is packed.

The lounge area has a couch that I designed myself with storage in the arm rests and ottomans tucked into the bottom that give even more storage. Opposite the couch is a TV and some more cupboards. The only challenge with the TV is connectivity and so DVDs are now a part of our entertainment.

The bathroom is the piece d'resistance. A full shower, basin and Thetford loo with even more cupboards. In the event of being in the bundu all we need is water and access to a septic tank system to empty the loo casette. All very civilised and I have to declare that after spending two months in our mobile home I am quite comfortable thank you. 

We are currently in the Kalahari now and even the freezing night time temperatures have not made life uncomfortable. 

We'll talk more about the outside of the caravan next to wrap up the complete Liberty Cruiser Lamberth Edition that is now home.

Blessings till next time.
