    Hans Tore Tangerud from Kristiansand in Norway likes to go camping with his family.
    There's room for two people to sleep in the back of the wagon, and there's room for two more in the top sleeper:

    Fully loaded Caprice wagon, it even came with the nowadays very desirable "Bowling alley option" :thumbs2:
    (An US$ 399.00 option for model year 1988)

    Just warms your heart seeing that car used to the fullest. That roof sleeper is an awesome idea. Looks like it is well loved in so many ways! :yup:

    How cool! Love the creativity and the usefulness of this kind of stuff. And the wagon.. that's a very nice Ford.

    Same here! I thought I would see an LS1 with a turbo or something hiding in a stock looking ride.
