Simon Thompson shares with us his trip to Millau in France in his stunning 1967 Split Screen VW Campervan.

Four months hard graft, working on a new interior, followed by 10 nights, 2021 mile round trip camping in France, which included an un-missable visit to the magnificent Viaduc de Millau…

This isn’t a story about how I, Simon Thompson (serious petrol head), came to own my precious 67′ split screen camper back in 95’, nor is it a story about the endless hours/years spent transforming the body and chassis into something solid that I’m proud of today. It’s a story about planning a summer camping holiday abroad in early 2008 with my wife and being blasé about the fact that I would finish the interior in time for the BIG trip. All this when the interior didn’t exist, as the interior was pulled out before its spray job and complete re-build back in August 2003 and since then was never looked at again!

So Part 1 of Our 5500 Mile Trip across Australia in a Camper Van Left off with us taking a visit to Ramsey Street which was fun. After this we headed for Frankston where we stayed in a Big 4 Park for 2 nights. We spent a day on the beach (where I burnt quite badly watching some skim boarders) and then made off to cover some ground.

After a quick trip down the Mornington Peninsula, our next point of call was Phillip Island, a small island a few hours outside of Melbourne which is accessible by bridge. We drove the length of the Island right up to Cowes where we had a quick look around. By now, the sun burn was taking it’s toll and due to a mini heat wave in Victoria we decided that a night in the van would be a bit too much.
