There's a winding road to Muley Point. But, we'll all get there someday.
In the meantime we're trying out the Tonke, a handbuilt, Dutch, true truck camper. It demounts from the Mercedes frame. We plan to occasionally leave the coach at a camping ground and explore the countryside in the truck. We will be writing up our experiences with truck camping in Europe so that others, if they are so inclined, can take advantage. Already we can see cost savings, especially in expensive areas like Amsterdam and Copenhagen. We reserved a site online near Copenhagen in the interior of an old fort overlooking the waters between Denmark and Norway. It is around $70 for three days. Average in hotels is around $250 plus meals per day.
The Tonke reminds me of the Avion, except for its price tag. So, wish us luck in this detour on the road to Muley Point.
