The smart new McLouis Fusion made an ideal base for a summer weekend break

A touch of NORFOLK SUN

Earlier this summer, I was fortunate enough I to be given the opportunity to try out one of the new-look McLouis Fusion low-profile 'vans, produced by McLouis in partnership with Auto-Sleepers. The revamp includes new silver side panels and an interior that largely replaces any wood veneer with a smart foil wrap.

My first impression of the latest 373 was that both of these developments are improvements, particularly the interior, which feels brighter, thanks also to the large windows and sunroof (you can read my full review in issue 290).

But where to take such a vehicle on a summer weekend? Norwich and the Norfolk coast where I'd never been before - were beckoning.

Living in the wilds of northern England, I must plead guilty to assuming that all journeys in the south are just a hop and a skip. But the trip from Northampton, where I collected the McLouis from Marquis Leisure, to North Walsham, my first stop, was actually more than two hours long.

However, it was a perfectly pleasant journey as the 'van carried me across the flat Cambridgeshire and Norfolk countryside. I chose North Walsham as my first stop, partly because Two Mills Touring Park, one our Top 100 Sites, is located there.

Arriving on site, it was easy to see why this park has won so many votes from Practical Motorhome readers. It is immaculately kept, with all sorts of interesting landscaping features, and hosts Steve and Sharon could not be more helpful.
