I would think ok for a couple of nights/weekender on their own, and better with an awning for longer holidays. Certainly very lightweight so good on fuel when towing.

Depends really on what you intend using it for. No living space and the kitchen is exposed to the elements without an awning. Fine if you just want somewhere to lay your head and make a brew but not everso practical for more than a couple of nights. There are many small lightweight vans on the market with much more living space, have a look at mine, piccies on profile............Mick

the awning was made at the same time as the tear. it as a further extention to the awning for others to kip on the floor or on a camp bed.
must say i use my mini artic most of the time but the tear is a usfull bit of kit.
