- A question I think many of has asked at least one or two times while we have been stuck in traffic behind a row of Motor homes going 10 km/h under the speed limit. Will a Motorcyclist hate going on an Adventure using a Campervan? Well, it is time to find out!
A huge thank you to my dear friend @kihestad who helped me out with all the work on the car.
We should really make an own series..... Hansen and Hestad? who knows 🤩🎥

Red car, red crocs. Yeap, it's Thomas for sure! Cheers
Hahahahaha 😂🙌🏻 You know, I heard the other day someone said, that is that guy with the crocs on RUclips 🙈 Cheers mate. Hope you enjoyed it.
I was thinking the same thing on my last motorcycle trip. I came to the conclusion that the difference between RVing and motorcycling is that when you go motorcycling, you are immediately doing what you set out to do. RVing, on the other hand, enables more things when you get to where you were going.
There is no doubt that I enjoy riding the motorcycle much more than the van. But you get into a different state of mind and travel in a different way with a van, compared to a bike. I'm not sure if this is just a phase or something I really love doing. But I sure am gonna find out and enjoy every second of it. 🔥
Go for it! It is nice to see you again doing all the stuff you like an you are passionate in. 😊
Thank you mate... yeah, there is no point in holding back. Much more to come, both motorcycle and Campervan 🔥🎥
Nice! Adventures are not about how you get around, but what you put into it. When I am not on my bike I travel with my wife in our small VW Campervan and so we drove 10.000 km around Europe this summer. I love both. The bike is for me. My thing. The van is our thing. Doing different stuff but all adventures. Congrats on your new van!
Very true! And you are so correct in this. It is all about getting out there and enjoying great times on the road. 👏🏻 Cheers
Congratulations on the van Thomas, seems that you enjoy this already, well have fun and stay safe as always !!!
Thank you 🤩 I have been on a couple of trips with it already and I have to say, I really enjoy it. It not that far from what I'm doing on motorcycle, so I hope that I can include some adventures with this in the future as well. Cheers
@@tshansen great idea!!!
As usual great content. Glad you are back posting videos,
Thank you so much mate. This summer has not gone as planed, but now I'm back, and I'm not slowing down for anything 🎥
This video is a pleasant surprise. I love motorcycles but I'm too old to sleep on the ground, and my dog can't come along on my bike, so I've been thinking about a small camper van. "Will I like it?" is the question I keep asking myself, and this video helps me answer that. Looking forward to more van videos--but don't give up your bike!
Thank you mate... I bet you will love it. For me, that is used to motorcycle camping. This feels like 10x more comfort when it comes to certain stuff. But it is a little bit more boring to ride, but I guess that is just the price you have to pay. Nevertheless... getting out on adventures is what is of most importance. And there will be much more of that going forward.
I’m from Asia, and i live metro city. one day I will come to Norway and ask you 'to teach me what is adventure. Your video inspires me.
Hehe, thank you sir, but I'm not sure if I can teach away Adventure, that is inside each and everyone of us. You need to find out what is adventure for you and then go live it. 🙏🏻
Congratulations on the new van! I can see myself going this way. Excited to see how things work out for you.
Thanks so much! I’m really surprised how much i enjoyed this. Yes, it is different, but it is still great and i really enjoy it (so far) so this will motivate me to get out there much more often. Cheers
Well for me, I always look forward to your excellent video's on your motorcycle, but as we all know Norway in summer is stunning.
So buying this car gives you more opportunity to show us more of stunning Norway in the winter. What's not to like. Loved the shot at 4.20, and if you'll defiantly need ventilation that for sure at 4.50 ( laughed my socks off ). I've no doubt in my mind that all of us who have commented here, will really enjoy your video's. Now you should have a contest to come up with a name for it, just for fun, nothing serious. 😂😂🏍🏍
Just wait until you see Norway in winter.... damn It can be so crisp and beautiful. Cold, but with the northern lights and everything.... stunning. Hahaha I really need ventilation back there, no doubt 😂🤭 I'm really surprised that so many liked this little adventure dip in the "wrong" direction. Even if it is not that far apart 🔥🎥 More to come, much more 😇
Congrats to your new wheels! Enjoy all the new adventures! 💚
Thank you so much.... 🙌🏻
It's so fun to hear your say you have been riding (not driven) your car around for a week. Only a true motorcyclist can say that 😂 It was great to help you fix the small issues with your car, it looks much better with the blacked-out side panels! 👍 Looking forward to seeing more adventures from your van, seems like you enjoyed it 😊
Hahaha, never thought about that…. I’m always riding, never driving 😂 I’m so damn happy with all the work you did and helped me with. Forever grateful for it. No we just need to do more to the Hansen and Hestad plan. I bet our followers would enjoy it. I really liked the new look as well. Feel much less like a post car 😂 Cheers, or maybe not cheers, with the accident last night 😂
@@tshansen haha, I'm all right. Just some bruces. Don't drink and walk 🥴 We should absolutely make some Hansen & Hestad videos 👍😊
Love it! Adventure is what you make it. I do some truck bed camping now, but am considering the purchase of a Kia Carnival to travel more and camp out of when I'm not biking. It's pretty cool to wake up when it's pouring and have a hard roof over your head...also, camp setup is a breeze.
Hahaha Thank you mate! Yeah, you Get spoiled easy after a couple of days on the road with a van compared to a bike! 😂👏🏻 looking forward to try it in wintertime.
Good luck with the new van 👍
Thank you Patrick 🔥
Great report on your new car. So I'm also interested in your car tours and car adventures. 😊👍🏻
Thank you Claudius 👏🏻🔥 hope you are doing great! I really want to do some spectacular winter travels and see the northern lights! So let’s see what we can make of it 🎥👏🏻
Great choice of camper van! I think you’ll have great experiences!
Thank you sir. I have had a really good time so far. I actually love that it is so small and usable in most situations. 👏🏻
Good job Thomas. I travel a lot with my pickup truck with a small topper cap over the bed. I can sleep and stay many places in good and bad weather. It really keeps travel opportunities open for me. You have a young family as well. Pretty soon it won't all be about you and your travels but about the family and shared experiences introducing the little one to a world outside to enjoy. Start them young. They develop much better. Now there are zillions of youtube sites converting vans such as yours to camper travel, minimalist expense and many full time life in a van on the road. Check them out. The diesel heater can be mounted outside in a box and vented properly. It can be removed and stored inside. Only a hose to enter the cabin for heat. Safe. The roof vent, there are a couple or more brands, select the quietest one. Simple install The led lights are a good choice. Some cooking inside but it is best for big meals be prepared out side to keep all the smalls out. But some Coffee is a must. Pee bottle maybe a honey bucket depending on weather and location. Yeap, handi-wipes to clear the dingle berry patch. Hahha Amazon has a lot of items. A solar panel or two on the roof and battery power is great but winter time limits that up your way. An Anker or Jackery power pack system is very good. These are evolving very fast given battery technology. It is good to be able to power all you can without a generator. There are many battery hand held shower units which having only some warm water in a bucket you can wash off with. Use the coffee maker to heat water or a stove. Make you bed high enough to sit on and not hit the ceiling to maximize storage under it. Also maybe a fold down table ledge on the other side to place stove and eating. food can be stored in battery powered refrigerator/cooler setup. This stuff is very efficient these days and require minimal power. So a new world opens for you. enjoy. It beats being froze almost to death in the bad weather, chances of injury, or just staying home. The main thing is to go.
Thank you so much for this comment and your own experience, appreciate that a lot! I'm still new to this, and not sure what is the best way to go forward. There is no doubt that I will spend more time with my family in the upcoming years. The older my kid get's the more he want to join in on my activities as well. I don't want to build to much in the wan, I want it to be as usable as possible, and easy to turn from one scenario to another on the fly without having to mount or demount to much stuff.
There is a diesel heater already installed to the car/engine. So I just need to see if this is something I can control manually and make an outlet to the back of the car as well. Roof vent I have no clue about, but I hope to find one that is low, so it won't be in the way for my roof rack. I'm also considering an Awning from ABR. Do you have experience with awnings?
I will do all or most of the cooking outside from the car. but morning coffees etc I will make inside the car. I have reached out to Ecoflow and Anker when it comes to those large powerbanks with solar panels. They are quite expensive, but I guess they are better because they are easy to take in and out, and don't take to much space. There is a huge possibility I will get myself a e-bike as well, so I can explore all the amazing places that is forbidden to ride with a motorcycle 🤭 Cheers mate, appreciate this post. Thank you
Good to see you back again . Yes i must say i think you have a great idea there . Now you can go in any weather . Your friend is traded on lots of stuff great job . I keep saying this damn ur country is beautiful ! I seen you on off she goes with Runa she is awesome and funny love both of yours and hers videos . Can't wait to see more take care !!
Thank you sir. I really feel this is a great idea myself. But it take some getting used to and i have to see if this will be something i will include much more of on the channel, in line with motorcycle stuff. Yeah, my friend Hestad is incredible. He is so skilled with machine work and those kind of things. I’m really glad to know this man. Cheer 👏🏻
I had it all big transit, transporter, landrover with rooftoptent, ... . still love it but love moto camping more because it's more "hardcore". Now I have a vw caddy which is perfect for everyday use and I put a rooftoptent on it when I want to go camp and/or pull my adventure bike on a trailer if I want to avoid long highway miles or want to have a basecamp somewhere :)
What is your experience with a roof tent? Was it crazy with condens? I read so much about this online. I have been looking at it for a while now and not sure if I’m better off with just my normal tent. I guess when you have been riding for so many years you get tired of all the long hauls on the bike. Much better to just set basecamp somewhere and explore around it. I see so many possibilities in the future around this. Cheers
Awesome video and also to see you back on the road Thomas! To be honest, as long as you're happy and continue to use your magic editing skills to share your amazing videos and home Country, you can even go on a bicycle that I will still watch them 😁👍. Just have question though, are you gonna hang up the famous Crocs outside or inside the van? 😁👍
Hahaha, thank you mate, really glad to hear you enjoyed it and so glad to hear you support my new look on adventure. I still working on a plan about the crocs…. I think i will have a place for them both on the inside and outside 😂
Thats funny, i just discovered your channel minutes ago with the TKC70 tire review, and guess what: i also have a Yamaha T7 World Raid edition also in blue and a red Kangoo mini Camper....what are the odds lol
Hahaha that is so cool to hear! We have much in common i understand 🔥👏🏻
@@tshansenaltough im not from Norway i do love to spend time in your country. With the correct weather i recon is one of the absolute nicest places on earth. Maybe we might cross path one day. Cheers mate! Keep riding blue and camping red 😅
Thomas congratulation on the van.
As i see you have a towbar, you can enjoy the best of both worlds with the van and the t7 if you invest in a little trailer.
Thus you keep more room in the van to sleep, relax, stay dry and warm in late season weather.
Also possible to travel around with your bike not loaded with stuff of camping if you plan daily roundtrips with the red basecamp.
Yeah, exactly 👏🏻🤩 i’m looking at a foldable trailer that is easy to store when i’m not using it! So that is most likely something i will Get next year! Is a little bit expensive 🔥
The perfect combination for the climate of Norway! Bike & Van , nothing to stop you enjoying the adventures and landscapes all year round now!! ❤🏍️🏕️😎
Indeed it is.... Motorcycle from early May until late September, and camper van in-between and in the winter. 👏🏻
Take me along next time, Thomas. Nice video!
We should most definitely take a trip togheter mate 👏🏻🎥
OMG! I have video of that house at 2.58 and it looks like you took the tunnel bypass route there. Was there a few weeks ago, stunning scenery even in the rain. I see a trailer in your future...
That house is such a great "landmark" on that road. Takes you back in time. Yeah, I have a rule (for myself) never ride tunnels if you can ride around or over. Yeah, I'm already looking into a small foldable one. You never know what the future brings 🤭
Surprise!!!! As always your evolution and mine seem to be following the same path. However I considered renting rather than buying and I would like to have a rack on the back so that I can transport my smaller bike and combine both adventures. I saw a setup while I was away on my trip last year where someone put their bike on the back of their camper and it serves as an inspiration for me. I am glad to CONTINUE to follow you Thomas in your adventures, whatever they may be! Enjoy the journey!
Thank you so much my friend 👏🏻🔥 Renting is always a great option, but for me, a new car will serve as more than just a camper van. I need it for my business, trips with my kid etc. So I have put a lot of thought into this, and trying to find as cheap option as possible (don't want more loan) Much more adventures to come. One week from now, I'm off on a gravel event with my bike. 🙌🏻
@@tshansen ❤️
That’s a great challenge and I was thinking a few times about such a car but big enough to carry my bike with me as well 🤩✌🏻
Thank you my friend 👏🏻🤩 well, i was considering both and was not completely sure! But this is so much easier for everything Else, can fit inside a parking house, can drive around without extra cost and serves my needs! The only downside is the Motorcycle, but i have been looking at a trailer to have behind for the longer trips, or early season/late season trips 🔥👏🏻
Congrats and "welcome to the club" 😉 Similar solution here: Berlingo (because I can open the wall to the back) + foldable trailer for CRF 300 & mountainbike👍
Here in Norway it is not allowed to remove the wall (green number plates) this will result in a hefty fine and extra taxes. Or I would remove the wall myself. Looking at a foldable trailer my self, they look really great and so easy to store away (not much room for trailers here I live) 🙌🏻
Tip: The NEPTUN trailers are quite OK and incredible cheap here in Sweden...
@@auroratours6716 great tip, will have a look 👏🏻🔥
Nice van Thomas...I think you will have fun 👍. BUT...please don't stop the T7 adventures 🙏 ❤
Thank you so much Stephen 🙌🏻 there is one thing that is 100% certain, I will not, never stop doing my T7 or motorcycle adventures. That is my absolute biggest passion in all this, but this year, with my whole season going down the drain.... I realised that I had to have a backup or other means of transportation to go adventure riding. Next week I'm going on a two week trip on my T7 (Just saying 🎥)
We just got back from.a month in Norway with our Camper......and towing 2 motorcycles. We had the best time and had some brilliant rides including Trollstigen, Lysebotn and Atlantic Ocean Road
Really glad to hear that. Did you have the motorcycles on a trailer? Cheers
@@tshansen yeh. A two bike trailer. We drove from mid Wales in the uk.
Our turn around point was Kristiansund. So next time we'll start at Trondheim and hopefully make it up to Nordkapp. For us it was perfect. I'm 60 and my wife is 56, so we didn't want to ride the bikes every day. I found your videos really useful in planning. Especially the ones about the ferries and ferry pay. We managed to prepay so the ferries were very reasonable. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
@@colinmorris63 Riding a car with a trailer is no joke on Norwegian ferries, so really glad you found my video about the ferry pay /autpass. I completely understand that. I see some every year doing the same as you. Getting up here, set a base and explore with lighter bikes. Much more to come my friend 🙌🏻
Everyone should have a terrific friend like that! Such a treasure! I thought you were going to bring your bike along, no? Trailer it with the van?
I'm currently looking into a foldable motorcycle trailer to bring my bike on if needed. But to be honest, I think I can do fine with just separate the two. Everything is not planed out yet, the only thing I know... I want to spend more time on the road doing what I love, and this is one way of doing it 🔥
@@tshansen Sounds like a good plan and you’re off to a great start! I like the van, can’t wait to see the wrap. US version of your van does not offer the turbo diesel, I would definitely consider one if it was available here. All the best Thomas, looking forward to more adventures -
Great work by Mr Reodor Felgen! I understand your curiosity. Just experienced a heatwave down in the Balkans. I did become a bit jealous of the car guys. So I do daydream of a Suzuki Jimmy, with a tent on the roof …
Yeah, he is one of a kind when it comes to stuff like this. Damn heatwaves are no fun. I have been looking at some roof tents myself, but they are quite pricey and struggle a lot with condensation and moisture. So I will just use my normal telt I think. Not decided yet.
Happy for you. Maybe it could be an idea if you should consider loading your MC in the car when you design the interior of it
It is not big enough for my Motorcycle, but i’m looking into a trailer for that 👏🏻
Some good snow ties for the front.
Yeah, here in Norway.... great snow tires are a must, will even get myself something we call snow socks or close to that, that I can have on the tire if I'm stuck
Welcome in the " club " Thomas 😁
It's seems like you slowly going the same way I did . For whenever possible I use my motorcycle but sometimes when weather don't permitting travel with it I use my " barn on wheels " Recently weather in Norway don't give ua so many chances so why not go the other possibilities. Cheers mate and congratulations on new " mini fire truck 😜 "
Adam, my friend 🙌🏻 Thank you so much, and better later than never 🤩 Yeah, this is the exact reason... my Holliday rained away (Hans) and I was sitting here not understanding what the hell I was doing. I will always prefer Motorcycle, but in some adventures (and work stuff) I will be much better off with a Van. And it will make it much easier to show of parts of Norway you can't go with a motorcycle 🔥 Cheers
@@tshansen The only downside of traveling with bus/van it's the cost . All the money we pay for bompenger We coud use for ⛽ . But you can't have all . Lucky us that We have options . Keep in touch. For now I enjoy weather in Eastern Europe 🌞🥵
@@adambosak6962 Yeah, i saw this myself! The price is insane compared to bike! Makes me a little bit angry to be honest! Enjoy the great weather my friend! See you soon
Great vid brother im an avid rider 06 bmw GS love it my other best thing is a 1982 vw vanagon gl tin top no pop up, set up for sleeping now slow but cool fun, you have some good ideas for your new rig be safe brother also i love the country you are in beautiful
Thank you David. That is a great old classic you have 🔥 I want to make this car as practical and usable as possible. It does not has to be to much fuzz to have a great camper van adventure. Looking forward to more adventure with this. Cheers
Super legal o vídeo, 👏👏👍👍😄😄🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you 👏🏻
I have done the same except that I opted for a Ford Transit Custom. A little bigger car that fits a full bed and kitchen but still small enough that I can park anywhere. I made interior into removable modules so I can still use it for other things, like transporting a new motorbike etc 😂😅
Congrats on your new van as well mate. I had a look at the custom, same with the transporter and the one from Opel. But the riding comfort is worse for me with my 200cm in those. So for me it was either this, or the big Transit or Crafter/Sprinter. I will look closer at a trailer to move my bike around 🤌🏻
Remember: light is right. Don't add too much stuff to the van and keep it simple. You can work with fabric instead of wood.
You are absolutely right my friend, i will keep it as simple as possible so i can go from one thing to another rather quickly. I want this to be a multi purpose car, and have no intention of building a huge thing in the rear. I have my Trangia, my pad and sleeping bag. I’m really happy with that solution.
Thomas, I couldn’t work why, but I thought I had seen your van before. Then it hit me. Do you know Postman Pat? He is a UK kids TV character. I used to love it. Google it mate. Great video as always.🇳🇴🇬🇧👍🏼
Take a look at 11:13 😂 Cheers Uncle Steve
Missed that pop up.. Classic😂
Haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no one in the comments is mentioning the farth💨 Its briljant.
Great vid my friend. By the way, today i found myself buying apple cider at my local store. You got me on to something😳😃 thanks a lot and keep up the good work. The wrapping looks great by the way!
Hahaha, I really need ventilation back there 😂🙌🏻 Thank you so much mate, glad you liked it. Haha you got the taste for viking champagne 👌🏻 that is so nice to hear. I make sure to have a surprise or two ready for you next time we meet 🤩
@@tshansen thats really kind of you, awesome 🤩👍 Maybe I should create a vid about making some myself. We have plenty apple trees.
@@four38AM you should really look into that! Would be really cool if you made some 👏🏻👏🏻
Cool Thomas! I actually purchased a Renault trafic 2018 long version i May to do the same thing😅 it is white, so i should add some orange details to match the KTM😎
Hahaha, that is so cool to hear. great to have the option to go on adventures in the off season as well. For me it is all about getting out there and enjoy the road. White and orange can look really good together.
Its just two different stories, but still same adventure!
Well said mate, well said. And if you manage to tell great stories, it will still be a amazing adventure 👏🏻
Very cool! Although Adam Riemann would call you Bob... (and Marge?) :D
To be called anything by the true inspiration him self (Adam) would be a compliment in my books 👏🏻😂 i do understand i need to Get some right equipment for this! Maybe learn to play the banjo as well 🤪
@@tshansenEnig, har du sett den siste videoen hans? Anbefales! Liker den der gamle Africa Twinen!
@@sgtunix ja, han er en jeg ser alt av! Utrolig bra filmen han klarer å lage
That is quite interesting as I had an idea of buying transit connect myself ;) The big question I have is if it will fit a small (ish) bike to the back
Great mind thinks alike. Well, it depends on the bike, my T7 is no chance to fit inside. a smaller bike, well, as long as it's shorter than 215cm and 110 high.
I have a French one that will go faster than yours from 0-100 km/h, 100-0km/h, and it will have a higher top speed and meaner look. It will also be a lot more red (not Ferrari-red but still). You win with a mile and more on the ability to take it on the TET. Mine will just say: Really!? You want me to do THAT??? Diesel? Me and my car have never heard of such a word. Can you eat it?
I will only sleep in mine because of exhaustion after a full day of E6-hardons.
Slightly more serious notes: Having a suitable car/vehicle makes you try new things and explore new habitats. Don't ever hesitate trying new things!
Hahaha 😂🙌🏻 Diesel is the new kid in town, or was it the opposite way around? 🤔 I have to be honest, I have been hesitate of trying this, scared I would love it and scared I would ruin the channel. But that is so ridiculous and like you say... this will only make me explore new things and new places. Much more to come, of both 🎥
No way my Fucktruckin friend! 😂😂 Tjommi, You will love it ☝️😁 Especially as long as any type of adventure is involved. You know i'm on as long as You do ut with the crocs on 💪🤠🔥
Hahahaha..... you damn influencer 😂🙌🏻 this is also your fault (in a way) tjommi 🤌🏻⭐️🎥 And so far, I am absolutely loving it. Hahaha, I do everything with my crocs on, just ask my..... 🤣🙌🏻🥃
Flott. Bra med mer slik fra Norge!!
På høy tid vi i Skandinavia viser litt mer av hva her i Norge har å tilby, både av natur og video kunnskap. 👏🏻 Ser du lager flott naturfilmer selv 🔥
@@tshansen Enig! Ja, det er et lite forsøk og mest for å lage en ramme for fotointeressen!
@@stigfloberghagenphotography foto har vært en stor lidenskap i mange år for meg selv, så blir veldig bergtatt av vakker og storslått natur! Å kunne kombinere flere interesser og utvikle seg gjennom video er ganske unikt! Mye spennende å lære og som du sier, setter rammer for andre interesser 👏🏻
Cool. I’ve thought about a van, but one I could put a motorbike in. That’s tough without getting a big van. ADV bikes are a bit tall. Probably better options in Europe than the US.
Yeah, i was looking into this myself, but there are really not many options with adventure bikes, and still manage to have som comfort when riding as well. So i will look more into a trailer to add with this. Much cheaper as well.
Nice 👍🏻
Thank you mr. Wikström 🙌🏻
after this summer... it appears being an appealing option, I recon
You got that right! This summer (weather) has been absolutely terrible. My back has been all f&%$ up again, and 1 and a half month without any adventures made me realise a thing or two 👏🏻
.... Tom.. watch it... next year will be coming with a high probability to be even worse than 2023, since the El Niño effect is expected to gonna kick in real hard... that would translate into real bad weather for us motorcyclists ... much worse than the past summer of 2023
I fear that this is only the beginning of this, so better be prepered for everything
Brilliant idea Thomas, you’ll love it. I’m looking forward to you using it during the winter. We’ll get to see Winter Adventures in Norway .
So pleased to see you visit that smart friend again ( BMW Owner) he certainly enlightened you 😂. Can’t wait to see what alterations you make for more comfort etc. Enjoy 👌👌
I'm really curious to see how it will be to camp in it during the winter months. I hope the Diesel heater will be enough, or maybe I can get a little 12v heater to plug in as well? 🤔 I'm new to this lifestyle, so I need to learn some stuff still. Yeah, mr. Hestad is one of a kind. Hahaha, he made me see the light, no doubt about that 😂
Camping in a car... travel compared to motorbike... I gues it is the same like, going for adventure by using RUclips and watching videos there... I can say I've been there, seen it and I know how it feels...
On motorbike you feel real wind, water, sun and all other elements of nature. It is also more chalenging and dangerous, more adventurous and with wider possibilities of finding new places, which you will nevel reach with a car.
If you are 65-99+ years, then yeah, car is a way for you to travel, but at age of 20-65 motorbike is only way to experience meaning and joy of life.
Interesting perspective on this. I do not agree in your conclusion, not at all. I guess it all comes down to how you define it. I certainly define it in another way than you. I experience meaning and joy in life by spending time on the road, exploring new ventures and learning from new people, culture or just interests.
Congrats on the new wheels. The 64k dollar question, will the T7 fit in it? Cheers
Unfortunately not 😅 But he will probably find a nice trailer for it. He does look like a seasoned Fucktrucker, doesn't he 😂🙌
Hahaha. Like Tjommi says, the T7 is way too big to fit inside this car. I was looking for a much bigger Ford, the Transit. But it is so inconvenient at everything else. So this is the "perfect" middle ground (so far) and yes, I have been looking at a foldable trailer det last couple of weeks 🙈 I need to iron my woodchopper shirt, sharpen my axe and get to the hills.... I hear banjos playing 🤩
That reminds me Tjommi.... since you influenced me into this, or tricked me into this... I figure you should pay half the cost of the car 😂
I love vans😊this vehicle is a great way of extending your adventure season, which I know is a bit shorter than mine here in the uk. I have a medium sized van I use for my work by day. I'm seriously thinking of doing something similar with a tent box on the roof, so I have room for a dualsport bike in the van itself🤔at least then I could use this method all year around, as our winters are somewhat milder than yours. Looking forward to following your journey bud😉
@@ifindoubtbailout70 I do think I love vans my self. I found myself riding along listening to Luke Combs (Nashville Jazz as we say here) wearing my shirt and feel like a proper trucker 😂 I have looked at so many options, x amount of hours with RUclips footage about the topic, and I will expand or do something myself. I will probably get a trailer for the bike, I will look at a awning and maybe a roof box or tent (for family vacations) This is a much more expensive hobby than motorcycle, that is for sure 🙈
Postman Pat goes camping 🏕. You'll be getting a Black & White cat next.... Incase you don't know look postman pat and his black & white cat up on YT 😂.
Lools a good compromise when weather get shitty
Haha, i grew up with that show… you can see him and the cat in this video if you look closely 😆 Yeah, i think this is the perfect setup for those days when i can’t ride my bike. Just hope i can include it and make it interesting for your guys as well. Cheers
it is a great way to go on adventures, that is the way i go with my wife and dog.
but we use a car and tend.
but I'm hoping to get the same ford as you frome my company i work for, then we can use that for the tips.
cheers
There are so many possibilities when you start looking around and are happy with low key and easy living. A car and a tent is so much better than not going on an adventure. And to continue to do what I love, all year around without spending a fortune. I'm all in!
Cheers Scotty, hope you get the car as well.
@tshansen we will still use the tent, but if you don't find a good place, you just sleep in the car. you still do the same thing, travel and seeing new places. with a bike it's a little more extreme if you see it that way.
😅
Would you get your T7 inside, Thomas? Then you could combine the best of two worlds. All the best, Günter/Nürnberg (Back from 15 days Romania where we met Dragos)
Hello Günter… i really hope you had a great time down there with Dragos. Looking forward to visit him myself. No, it will not fit my T7, but I’m looking at a foldable trailer i can easy pack away when I’m not using it. That is a good option to all this. Cheers
@@tshansen Foldable trailer? That sounds good, Thomas.
Councils in uk like Ford Connects theyre cheaper on parts and reliable assuming it hasn't a wet belt
What is a wet belt?
I think that adventuring in a van has its place within the moto entusiasts... I like the idea of taking my bikes with me instead of riding them sometimes... Let me explain.. Lets say I want to go from the Netherlands to the Swiss Alps.... Would love to go in my Ténéré but I would enjoy more doing all the passes in my streetfighter... On the contrary, I would not want to ride all the way there. So, having a camper van that allows me to bring my motorcycle with me makes for a good compromise. Another situation, lets say I want to go with my GF and my dogs, I can bring them alongside in the van, and when I reach a certain place, unload the bike, ride the roads, enjoy the beauty and then continue. I dont have to go fully loaded, I can take everything in the van, enjoy Stelvio o Trollstigen without having to carry a ton of luggage. Or I can do it in a bike that maybe is not the "adventure" type, like my streetfighter or a sport bike... I also believe that you can enjoy both, it does not have to be one or the other. Some times one will be a better option than the other. If you can have the priviledge of choosing, then why not. My personal preference would be something more like a Transit Custom Trail, Peugeot Expert (or Citroen Jumpy or Toyota ProAce, they are all the same) or something in that realm, that would allow me to carry the bike in the back. Anyway, this was waaay to long. Love your videos... Cheers!
No, this was absolutely perfect my friend. I agree to everything and my exact thoughts as well. The problem with the Transit Custom is that it has less comfort when riding. They have squeezed out every inch of that van, same with the transporter or expert. so a bigger rear takes away driver comfort. With my 2 meters, I'm much more comfortable in this or the bigger van Transit, Crafter or Sprinter. But that is crazy expensive and not so easy to use for every day stuff. So it is always a compromise, and until now, this is what fits my need best ( I think ) But I guess it is like with bike, your next bike is your best. I need to do this, try it, figure it out and see if I will upgrade or stay at this size. But I'm looking at a trailer to bring my bike as we speak 😂🙈
@@tshansen I totally agreel. I like small vans. I am really loving the ID Buzz but it is way to expensive. The only reason I look into some bigger ones is to be able to carry the bike inside and not using a trailer. That's it. The smaller the better. Just enough space to fit the bike and get some magic done to be able to sleep in as well. Btw, I've been to Norway this past week. Finally rode Trollstigen, another one off the bucket list. What a lovely country you have! Cheers!
@DeusRides we are on the same page! I was going back and fourth about this my self so many times! For me, the option to store my bike in the car lost😂👏🏻 i may regret that, but you got to learn the hard way 🤪🎥
@@tshansen I could not agree more! In my case, before moving to the Netherlands, I had a car and a trailer, I barely use it because it was a real pain for me, back in Argentina. Time will tell and hopefully we will see more from this journey of yours in upcoming videos. :)
I’m riding around on my bike in Sweden now, and Get new ideas every day! So much i can see myself doing now when i’m not limited to just my car! Offcourse, within reason to what my channel is about, but i guess most of my viewers are into more than one hobby of their own👏🏻🎥
Why not bring the bike on a trailer? I did it for Bukkerittet and Rally Grenseland. It was awesome!
First of all, because I did not have room for a trailer. Had no place to keep it, but I found a foldable trailer I can use for my bike, that I can easily store in my garage, so this is something I will adapt to in the winter now.
If i ever gone a use a car for adventures it will be in a Plåtis as Mattias Eriksson has :)
Yeah, i had a look at a camper like that my self, but it was just way to expensive for my liking at this point in life! But one day i may Get there 👏🏻
I'm affraid you'll never touch your bike again... ;-)
On a two weeks ride with my bike now 😂👏🏻 so don’t be scared! 🤪🔥
I do not understand why? You can not ever compere adventure with a bike and a car. If it puring rain, that in it self is a bit of the adventure. I hope you dont give up the bike adventures!
It is quite similar to be honest, but still really different. First of all, no! I will never stop with the bike adventures. That will still be my main focus. But every now and then. Life trows you a curve ball, and you realise that going on adventures are more important than what vehicle you use. The last one and a half month I have not been able to ride my bike (medical reasons) and I never want to be in that predicament again. And this will also work as a business van, that I can bring larger equipment to location (video work) and it will take me on some new adventures in the winter that I can't do with a motorcycle. 🔥
@tshansen I totally get it. And do both . Love both.
@@staopaopa1 yes 👏🏻🤩 cheers
your ford is a good choice
Thank you, I'm really happy with this car ☕️
Here is a link for your new projekt Ford camper , enjoy and i will enjoy some bike riding and hike this Fall
Thank you Kim... I'm going on a trip this week to Latvia on my bike, but it looks like that will be the last long trip of the season with my bike. Have to see how it goes, or what temps we will have this fall. Cheers
@@tshansen enjoy will Take a one Night short adventure in sweden with the son in law next week , he is a swedish forrest Virgin 😉
Forgot the copy the link 🙄

Only if it's a Goldwing 1500 or 1800. 🙂
Hahaha.... that is more like a couch 🤭
@@tshansen 😁😁
It will get bigger and bigger to a motor home with more stuff when you will return home to only look at your motorcycle thats been sitting there you will find yourself doing less and less with the motorcycle like going to the store in the van because you dont want to put on your helmet
Can you recommend a good motorcycle channel
Hahahaha, well! I hope i don’t turn all the way over to the van side 🙈👏🏻
I’m currently out on a Motorcycle trip now, to Shake off the dirty car smell from my cloathes 🤪👏🏻
There aint no good Motorcycle channels out there 😂👏🏻
Trailer for the Tenere?
Yes, I'm looking at a foldable trailer I can fit in my garage when I'm not using it.
Hmmmmmm🤔
Skrue du Hansen 😉
Jeg vil tørre å påstå en løs skrue, men fortvil ikke... det vil fortsatt bli masse motorsykkel innhold, bare noen små drypp av litt andre eventyr også 🤩
@@tshansen, jeg setter pris på tilnærminga di til hva du foretar deg Hansen. Underholdende og som nevnt tidligere, ganske så inspirerende 🙂. Begynte motsatt av deg jeg da, fricamping med vogn Kone og bikkjer, for så å gå over til 2 hjul. Alt har sine fordeler, og ingenting er sjeldent helt perfekt. Videoene dine blir forresten stadig bedre, og jeg gleder meg til hver ny episode av "hva har Hansen gjort på denne gangen" 🙂
@@torandresyltesether7832 det er utrolig kjekt å høre 👏🏻 veldig kjekt med slike tilbakemeldinger! Ja, ting er sjeldent perfekt, og for meg er det viktigste at muligheten til å komme seg på tur blir lettere og oftere. Denne sommeren har vært preget av litt sjukdom! Rygg og litt annet drit! Så jeg fant ut at jeg må bare prøve! Finne ut om dette er noe som lar seg kombinere med det jeg allerede holder på med! Til nå, virker det som at veldig mange deler mye de samme interessene 👏🏻
T Hansen turned Chav.
Joking apart. Diversity brings more opportunities. Go for it.
You could take your son also.
Thank you Dave 😂👏🏻 Yeah, that is also a huge reason to do this! My son is growing up, adopting some of my passions and i want to take part in that with him! But i still want to spend time on the road, so with this i can combine everything without loosing to much 🔥👏🏻🎥
If your in a camper van, why do you need a tent?
If you have socks, why do you need shoes? 🤔 Because I don't want to be limited. I want all options free when I'm out adventuring 🙌🏻
@@tshansen The camper van is your shoes. It covers all of you and protects you from all the elements. There is nothing more you need. I lived out of my old ford van many years ago, 40+.. for a few months traveling across the usa. I had a matress and a small gas stove. What more could I need? 🥰🥰
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv a tent, or maybe a tarp 😂 But that exact feeling, just being on the road, having an adventure and enjoy the important parts of your life. That is key!
@@tshansen Yes. It's what it is all about.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv could not agree more 🙌🏻
It all works because you are traveling single. I'm speaking from experience.
Well, i guess that is a individual thing. I have been camping with my family for many years without any issues. But you need to adapt for that as well ☺️
But... is this channerl about motorcicle????????????????????
Yes, but not only Motorcycle 🔥 my main focus will be Motorcycle, but i will do more Adventure stuff as well
@@tshansen ok dude... good Lucky in your new adventures .. Big hug from. Brazil ... braappp
