Spaceship

There have been loads of questions about the Spaceship - so here is a quick guide. Pictures will turn up, once we can charge the cameras!
Its a Toyota Lucida, automatic, bubble-like. It is also bright orange.
The back of the car is one giant storage unit, lifting up from within the car and holds our gear, our food and random junk. On top of the storage bits are foam bits that assemble to make a mattress. We can extend this out into a full size double bed by some nifty metal bars and wooden boards sliding together either over the middle chair, (which swings around to face forwards, backwards or out the side depending on what function you are going for), or out the back of the car. We have only extended it inwards so far, due to weather conditions. If it ever gets warm and sunny again, we have the option of an awning thing that can be attached over the back of the car.
There is a metal arm that swings out from the middle of the car and holds our gas cooker so we can make food. We have taken to using this out of the extended part of the back of the car instead, to shelter from rain when cooking.
The interior has curtains and lights, as well as a DVD player. If we see another Spaceship, we can swap our DVDs for theirs.

We have an alpha 2 berth, check it out on here:
