Fab video!! Brought a Touran today, mainly as its a great family vehicle but im into my wild camping and your video has definitely given me a great idea for some multi day trips to Scotland

Great video. Can I ask how you made those window blinds and how you managed to keep them in place? And the bed...was it a bit of foam you had or a single mattress etc?
Hi, I made the blinds out of cardboard, two layers. I made a rough template and then trimmed it down bit by bit to get a snug fit - then copied for the other side. I covered the cardboard in black out fabric bought from eBay. I used a glue gun. They just push into place, except for the rear which is in two parts - left and right. They are held in place by two wooden wedges I made - and the wedge goes in behind the seatbelt casing on the roof. If I open the boot it all falls down lol The bed uses two futons on top of each other - I got them from fb market place for £15 the pair and then washed the covers in the washing mashing 👍
Hi Gillian that’s a great Q. The middle 3 seats just pull out easy peasy. The boot seat unbolts with 4 fixings I think. I had to use a bit of old wood as a spacer for the remaining boot seat, to make it level. I keep all the spare seats under my bed!
Hi. I've just bought a Touran. I notice you have put the bed where I am planning to put mine, but have you removed the middle seat, our just folded it over.
@@known3909 I'm finally converted. Cost all of £30 using a bit of ply. I kept the seat behind the passenger, and screwed on 1 leg. I'm 79 and can't do any DIY...even managed to put in a toilet - a bucket with plastic bags and cat litter! - sounds gross, but works! Put very dark film on - very badly, but does the trick. Took the bull by the horns and went away, and now I'm not scared any more.. I think 2 nights is the max, as it's squashy for me, but it's better than nothing. Improving as I go along.
Thanks for video, considering doing the sane with Ford Galaxy I’ve yet to buy .. Have a good one

Great insight to getting the most out of the Touran. Some really clever and low cost ideas. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video and good easy conversation.
Well done
Nice to see your use of the grab handles to support the front curtain rail - that's in my design too, so good to see it works.
Good idea having your bed so high , great space underneath
Wonderful, resourceful and honest review brother. Look forward to more videos

Mate you wanna see Hungary and Slovakia? Nice places..worth the visit
any places that I should put on my list - and what time of year is good please??
I’m looking at the VW Touran as a day car/camper and this has given me some great ideas. Where did you source the aluminium rail, please ?
I got it from
EBay. Sorry for the late reply
Some good ideas. Stay safe.

KISS , keep it simple stupid , with so many others van camping , its so easy to spot them now ! Like the adaption
5”9?! is it possible for a adult to sleep in or too short
Hi, What have you done with the middle row 3 seats and the rearmost left seat? Have you removed them completely and does this need special tools?

Thinking about getting a touran for this purpose. Do you not find the floor in the back too uneven and bumpy with the seats removed?
Hi, yes - some sort of flat surface is required 🙌
hi what mpg can you get on a run im thinking of getting one
It averages about 45mpg - on the motorway it gets about 60mpg
Yikes!
