VAN TOUR | Small, Modular, Smart Conversion w/ Shower + Toilet | Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper Symphony
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- Jitters is a 1999 (Petrol Engine) Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper conversion - a 'Symphony' model! She may be FAR from the most 'Instagrammable' van but she is full of quirk, character & is just damn perfect inside... we LOVE her!
After 9 months of full-time van life, we are excited to share the full VAN TOUR of JITS AND HER VINTAGE BITS! 🚐💫
Jits has EVERYTHING... a separate indoor shower & toilet, a dual-gas hob, grill & oven, a mini-fridge & freezer as well as LOADS of smart hidden storage. Her modular design allows us to transform the living space from bedroom to lounge, to office, to dining room... large enough to host 4 people inside COMFORTABLY.
Jits belonged to Adam's mum, Sally, who sadly passed away in Jan 2019 from ovarian cancer. During this time, we were reminded how life is too short and felt inspired to take the plunge & pursue our dream of full-time van life.

35k views!!! Just want to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who have taken the time out of your day to watch & leave us a comment 💛 Adam & I have loved reading your messages here and on Instagram, and are getting back to all of them, slowly but surely! 🌻
One great question that has popped up a few times is why we named Jitters/Jits. Firstly, her license plate ends in JTS and secondly, she physically Jitters when we go over 60mph! She was also originally named by Adam’s mum, whom you’ll know that this film was dedicated to 🚐💫
Those who are following us on Instagram & Facebook, will know that we are currently back on the road, driving across Spain, after having spent 3 months on lockdown in Portugal. We are so excited to share our upcoming travels with you through our films. If you have stumbled upon our channel through this video, make sure you subscribe so that you can catch up and follow along our European travels.
Once again, thank you to you all for your love & encouragement!
Tania, Adam & Jits xx
Sounds lovely! I noticed the JTS too! Clever Mum, you had Adam! Remember The Apple!! (doesn't fall far!) All the best you two!!
@@tarastarshine Thank you very much lovely xx Tania
I think you meant to say 89k. 👏
Perfect couple and best van tour ive watched until now. Above 100k in 2 weeks is so amazing. Perhaps you visiting indonesia someday.
The most imp. in any van are the people that live inside, if you keep up your good spirit you will keep loving you van and life.
My wife and I did the same thing some 23 years ago in the exact same van. We spent 2 yrs on the road doing the majority of Europe, Russia and got as far as Turkey and north Africa.
I wasn't called van life back then and we didn't meet many other none retired van travelers, RUclips has certainly helped promote this type of travel.
Enjoy your trip.
Wow!! This is so so wonderful to read!! We would absolutely love to see pictures of your adventures from back then, if you have them and are happy to share? We are on Instagram, Facebook or you could always email us at jitsintothesunset@gmail.com. 🚐💕xx Tania
That front bed/living room space is so versatile, not seen anything quite like it in the front of a van conversion before 😍
Brillant!! Delighted that Jits could bring something new to the van conversion table 🚐🌟 Thank you for watching & taking the time to leave us a message!! Xx Tania
VW Auto-Sleeper Topaz has the same bed layout 2 singles or a double, with shower ect in a lwb T6 with DSG automatic.
Thinking out of the box. Wonderful! That’s great to know, thank you!’🚐🌟 xx Tania
I know. It's so much more comfortable and clever than the boxy convertible seating you see in modern camper vans.
@@meowzic Yes, but unfortunately I cannot find one 18+ years old Auto-Sleeper with this kind of configuration in Continental Europe - where we are living - with left hand drive. I think these vans were a bit shorter and because we'd like to visit cities too, it would be far better than with a longer one. So it seems to me that we'll stuck in our caravan, which is quite good, but to make a several months tour in Europe such a tiny van would be the best choice I think.
For a 1999 camper it was way ahead of its time! Thumbs up to your mum for keeping her in tip top shape, god rest her soul. They certainly do not make them like that anymore! And the fact that you guys can use that bathroom door to close of a section for private use is awesome! I have not see anything like that. Remember it’s a 1999!!!! Awesome video guys! She really is perfect.
What a wonderful message to receive! Thank you, thank youuuuu!! You’ve made is smile from ear to ear. It’s always wonderful to hear others appreciate Jits as much as we do. Sending you lots of love from London 🚐💕 xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset ❤️
Adams mum was so right about the van. So many little details like toilet roll that slots away is just fantastic. No space is wasted at all
Thank you!!! You're the first person to mention that handy stow-away toilet roll feature. 🤭It's the little things that make a difference and give Jits character! Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment 🚐💕xx Tania
Very impressive little camper. Adam's mum certainly looked after it, still looks like brand new. 👍
Thank you so much!! We always say the same actually... Jits has clearly been loved throughout her long life! Before Adam’s mum adopted Jits, Jits belonged to two other people. We are so grateful that they all treated Jits with love & respect so that we could continue to enjoy her on our travels, for years to come!! Thank you again for watching & taking the time to comment 🚐💫 Xx Tania
After this video, I'm certain I'll be finding more of these on the road. Who else want a Jits in their life? I know I do!
Me too!
Me too
🙋 me please
ME TOO! 💯
Aww yay!!! Thank you Ricardo! Seems like your message has managed to gain traction - so so sweet to see others be as enthusiastic abouts Jits!! So thank you!!! If you do happen to come across Jits’ family on the road, make sure to give them a wave for us!! 👋🏼 🌟 Sending love from us in Spain 🚐🇪🇸 xx Tania
I think I'm in LOVE with "Jits"!! She might just be the coolest AND most practical van I've ever seen. I can't believe how well they utilized the space in her. What an awesome van!!!!!😁
Aww wow, thank you so so much!! I can’t tell you how much it means to us to hear that others appreciate Jits in the same way... she’s an oldie but a goodie 🚐🌟 Big love xx Tania
Autosleeper is the best when it comes to small campervans..
So agree great van
Like many on here Iv watch loads of “van tours” some good and some not so BUT I have to say that your van tour has to be the best Iv ever watched so far, for the style and type of van you have, the tour was very precise and detailed and you didn’t miss it by-pass anything, great video guys..👍👍👍
Wow, thank you so SO much Mark!! This is one serious compliment & hugely encouraging to us. It’s pretty evident that we love Jits... she’s an oldie but a goodie. However, we know that she’s not everyone’s cup of tea so it really means a lot to get such brilliant feedback like yours - so thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment!! I can’t see your message has gotten a lot of love too 🚐💛 Sending you love from us in Spain 🇪🇸 xx Tania
Jits Into The Sunset - Tania & Adam Vanlife No worries...👍👍
The stop motion bit is the best way I have seen to show the different layout of a van. Cheers
Hi Edward! Thank you for watching and taking the time to show your appreciation for our stop-motion! It took is quite some time to put together so I'm delighted to hear it's appreciated 🚐💕xx Tania
The retro design is gorgeous. Love the fact that it has a shower and hot water. I agree, it seems more like home when you have those features in a van. Gorgeous!
Aww thank you so much! I love that you appreciate her retro interior - funny to think that once upon a time, she would have looked modern 🙈💕 Appreciate your appreciation, so thank you! 💛 xx Tania
Seeing Jits has changed my van plans. Like many others, I've been watching many van videos but hadn't seen design and versatility this smart. I'm so glad I watched this video. Thank you for posting it. God bless you both and Jits!
Oh wow!! This is amazing to hear 🥰 Do keep us updated (either through social or email) as we would love to hear/see what type of van you end up committing to! I’m so glad Jits could be of inspiration 🚐🌟 xx Tania
Kitchen + bathroom + toilet . 👍👍💛❤ Jits very nice
Thank you so much! Glad you think so - we love these features too 🚐💕 xx Tania
Your mom seems like she was a cool lady. Thanks for the tour of Jits!
She really was! I am so grateful to her for giving life and raising Adam to be such a loving, kind & considerate human! 💛 Thank you for taking the time to tune into Jits this weekend 🚐💫 xx Tania
💕yes cool and clean
Lu Gonzalez Aww thank you! 🥰
I love her too! Perfect design. I am so amazed.
Jits is just perfect❤️
And the ending... oh.. left me in tears...
One of the best van tour I've ever watched!! Loved it so much 😍 Makes it so much more special that you guys inherited Jits from Adam's mum. I especially loved the stop animation style section to show how the bed gets made up...very clever and made it easy to see exactly how it's done, whereas other van tour videos I often leave not really getting to see how they do the bed conversions. Keep the amazing films coming ❤❤
THANK YOU so much Regan for your wonderfully thoughtful and kind message. We truly appreciate your appreciation for Jits & the work week put into our films 🥰 Big love to you 🚐💕xx Tania
I love how you showed Tanya sleeping while Adam was working. We all know it’s the other way around 😂😂😂 I love the bathroom, it must be a joy to wash your hair, pits and HooHah after a long, sweaty, day hiking. And not having to find an appropriately positioned hedge in the middle of the night is a game changer.
Adam ‘and that’s the only mirror we have. Except the other one’ 🤣🤣🤣.
The ‘In loving memory of Mum’ actually made me tear up! She would be so proud of you taking Jits on more adventures. I am still stuck at home due to the evil COVID-19, scared to go out as I’m 57 with asthma and high blood pressure, but you guys are freeeeeee 😁 Go on adventures and share them with me. Fingers crossed 🤞 we will be off to Cornwall bodyboarding in November (off peak, less people stealing my waves), until then I’m relying on you two. Stay safe and wash your hands xxx
Linda... our lovely Linda! Thank you so so much for ALWAYS taking your time to leave us such thoughtful (& humorous) messages. We love you lots, THANK YOU!! 🚐🌟 xx T
Jits Into The Sunset - Tania & Adam Vanlife Thank you for that 🙏 If I can make someone else smile or laugh it’s a good day xxx
Linda Tait You certainly have!! 🥰 xx T
Old school and modern mix into one beautiful vintage van
Thank you so much! That’s such a lovely compliment - Jits loved being a bit of both! 🚐💕 xx Tania
Greetings from Poland.
That was lovely. Thank you for the guided tour of your home. Jits is superb and so are you for looking after her so well.
Oh wow Jits is like Tardis!! You wouldn’t think it has ALL THAT in such a tiny space 🤩 it’s amazing that it has a full bathroom with hot water and that extendable partition blew our minds 🤯 thanks for showing us around guys! Great video as always 💛
This is the best design I've seen in a van. Absolutely luv it!!!
Wow, thank you John! Just a wonderful compliment to receive!! Appreciate you sending us a message to say so! xx Tania
Me too
Very well designed van! I love that the lounge/living area/bedroom is modular and super flexible to be the space that you need it to be for whatever mood you are in! Thanks for showing us your space! ✌🏼
Gits is amazing! you can tell the craftsmanship that went into her build.
Thank you very much! We think the same... no detail was spared! She really is a piece of art... it's nice to hear that others agree! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Rosmuti! Sending you love from us here in Spain 🚐 🇪🇸☀️ xx Tania
Jits is absolutely perfect, just like your amazing Mum! I'm so sorry that she passed away, but she got to see what a great home that Jits has turned out to be! Thank you so much for sharing that very personal information with us.
What an efficient, well designed little van. Truely, the best van tour I've seen, and I've watched a lot. Cool how you present "her" as a living little entity. ☺ I've watched all your blogs, and you guys are naturals. You do have the knack for this. As for me, after 33 years teaching school, I'm retiring this year and hitting the road. I look forward to your next video and following your adventure. ☺🇺🇸
Happy retiring then!
We absolutely love your van! We used to camp with our children in a pop up camper many years ago. Now un our 80s we live vicariously through you.
Much better than modern vans with all their mod cons. This has everything you need.
The modular sleeping/sitting area's FANTASTIC!!! So much easier to put together compared to the typical converted Vans
Thank you very much Munna!! We are so glad you think so 🥰 We appreciate you taking the time to watch & comment 🚐🌟 xx Tania
The best use of space ever and the living room wow
Thank you so much!! So great to hear others get as excited about Jits’ space saving design, as us!! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and say so 🚐💫 xx Tania
Nice guys! Always fun to watch your videos.
Currently in the saving process for getting my first van and seeing Jits has completely inspired me! I've found your channel through your travels with Kinging It and fallen in love with you videos. Jitters is such a practical and thought out van, and you can tell how much you both love her - she's a real beauty!
Wow! never seen such a small, yet the most perfect motor home. Simply amazing 😍
Thank you, John! So wonderful to hear that yoy think so! Appreciate you for watching & taking the time to comment. We hope you will continue to follow our travels 🚐💕xx Tania
I've been searching for ideas to have a bed at the front side of the van , kitchen and bathroom at the back because its more secure to have a bed in the middle in case of any kind of road accidents/impacts . I watched many videos but yours is the most practical, minimalistic yet spacious and the best concept. I'm blindly going to follow this van build .
Love from India ❤❤❤❤❤
So glad to find this channel 🙌🏻
It’s the LOVE AND RESPECT YOU BOTH SHOW FOR YOUR MUM AND FOR HER BEAUTIFUL VAN …. YOU BOTH FOUND THE RIGHT ONE… I WILL BE FOLLOWING YOU ON YOUR TRAVELS… ❤️🙏🏽
Awesome guys! so in love with Jits 🌟 She's a rockstar!! 😎
Yay! Jits loves being known as a rockstar 🚐 🎸 💫 Thank you for the love Lucía, here and on Instagram 💛 xx Tania
Just a fantastic show we have loved it the filming is top class and something we enjoy is no swearing , we live in Western Australia and I’m one hundred percent sure you would love it here too Jon and heather
I love how you acknowledged your Mum at the end, that was beautiful..you're a good son 💙 and a rose for your Mum⚘
Jits is van goals!
Yay!! So glad you think so Maira! Thank you for watching & saying so 🚐💕 I hope you enjoy following along the rest of our journey! xx Tania
This is by far my favorite camper van. Omg i want 1
The best reaction ever!! Jits would be so chuffed if one day you ended up adopting one of her family members because of her 🚐💫 Thank you for watching! 💛 xx Tania
wow Jits is really beautiful 😍 I am so in love in this Van. Thank you for the Tour. Greetings from Germany
Yay!!! I’m so so glad you think so Marie!! Jits is so far from those typical aesthetic vans we see online so it’s nice to know that people appreciate her beauty for what it is!! Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment 🚐💫 xx Tania
Autosleeper vans are just the best. It was very nostalgic watching this. We had one for 12 years.
Aren’t they just!! Catherine, I have just seen your wonderful message on Instagram and will be responding later on 💛 So good to hear from you! 🚐💕 xx Tania
Jits is beautiful and you are very lucky to have such a gem 🤗
Awesome! Best van tour I have seen :) Jits is actually incredibly well designed!
Yay!! Thank you so much... that is a BIG claim! We appreciate you saying so 🚐🌟 xx Tania
OMG... I LOVE Jitters! She is so smart. I've watched loads of "van build video's" but she is the best I've seen. #vangoals
Woo Hoo!!! Go Jits!!! I’m so so pleased to hear that you think so Jenna!! We are really proud of her... as we said in the film, she may not be the most instagrammable van but she is smart and modular and small enough to drive around those narrow Irish roads... sure what else could you ask for!? 🚐💫 Thank you for continuing to follow along our films and taking the time to comment!! Sending you a big squeeze 💛 xx T
Such a clever design! Fully utilizes the space, I love it!
La mejor furgoneta que haya visto. Magnífica
It’s great it seems to have everything!! One thing carbon monoxide meter should be low down and smoke alarm up high
Hi Else! Glad you think so about Jits 🚐🌟And thank you for the safety tip - consider it done 🥰 Very much appreciate it 💛 xx Tania
Why?
@@34ImpossibleShapes CO2 is heavier than air so important to have low to be effective as an alarm, If the alarm goes off when the CO2 is high you are already good.
Very nice van! Love the layout and the way the living/dining/work area/bedroom is. Great job by your mom. Happy and safe travels!
Thank you so much Melissa! We appreciate the kind words and good wishes. Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment 🚐💕xx Tania
that bathroom is beyond beautiful. I love cosy small places, used to live in a little narrowboat on the canals when I was younger during nursery years and that bathroom just reminds me so much of what it looked like. Jits is like the new standard for what I want my van to look and feel like now
Ive watched a lot of van tours, but this is by far the best van I've ever seen, and I've never even heard of it!
That was a very comprehensive van tour, thanks! It was as thorough and professional as the work you put into the rest of your channel content.
I was sorry to read Adam's Mum passed away, but I'm sure she's looking down, watching over you both with a big smile and extremely proud of the way you're documenting and sharing your travels in Jits.👍
Happy and safe travels!
Hi Dom! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our films and leaving us such a thoughtful and kind message. It is very sad to know that Sally isn’t here with us anymore but we know she would be very proud to know that her legacy and spirit lives on through us and Jits 🚐💕 Sending you lots of love and happy long Easter weekend 💛 xx Tania
Made it to the end. Have no interest in getting a van, but we’ve had RVs for near 30 years and plan to be Fulltime in ours in a little less than 2.5 years. Have never seen this van model. Very impressed with the design and use of space as well as the fact that it is still in great shape 20 years later.
Yay! Thanks so much for watching our film all the way through! 🥰 Sounds like you most definitely have a shared love for the open road! How exciting that you plan to be travelling this way full-time soon. And yes... we are so grateful that Jits has been looked after by her previous owners (including Adam's mum) so well. . Thanks again for tuning in and sending you love from us here in Spain 🚐 🇪🇸☀️ xx Tania
Binge watching all the videos and Jits is so versatile for the size everything you need 🙏❤️
Wow. I can't get over how much room and storage space there is in Jits. Space is so we'll utilised. Looks super cost for the winter but then enough windows and vents for air in the hot water. Who needs a fancy motorhome. Jits has everything 😍😊
Amazing layout! Haven't seen anything like this before!
Thank you Jo!! It’s brilliant to hear of others appreciating her layout 🚐🌟 Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment 💛 xx Tania
I really liked everything in your van nice build.... Compact and everything in it.... Good job lots of ideas to consider
Thank you very much Sourabh! Glad to hear you enjoyed it and have gotten some inspiration from Jits, even though she's old! 🌟 Sending you love from us here in Spain 🚐 🇪🇸☀️ xx Tania
I like the way the back doors open, good for ventilation and also because the kitchen is to one side of the van you can use the space to carry very large things down the middle fo the van .
Thank you Johnny! This is a very good observation indeed! 👀 I can absolutely confirm that this is true... having Jits' layout like this, comes in handy so many times - like loading up the groceries for example! 🚐 💕 Thank you again for watching and hope you have a lovely week 🌟 xx Tania
What an amazing Van. LOVE it!! what a gorgeous mum you had
Fantastic. I hope some day I have my own Jits 😁 best regards from PT
Glad you enjoyed it Tiago! And yes... everyone deserves their own Jits to look after them on the road 🚐🌟 xx Tania
Beautiful van tour!! So jealous of your bathroom set up! 💛
Thank you Aoife!! Ah yes, we are really proud of Jits’ bathroom setup. It’s an absolute game changer and definitely makes full-time van travel, a lot more realistic!! Thank you again for watching 🚐💫 xx Tania
I love the simple enlargement, such a clever idea❣️
But I prefer a dry toilet system in my Dacia Dokker (first I took a PortaPotti with me, but the smell is more pleasant when you separate).
Aww the little screen about Adam’s mom at the end was so wholehearted and cute 🥺
Thank you so much lovely! It's meant a lot to us to be able to continue Adam's legency through our travels in Jits 🚐💕xx Tania
What a lovely young couple and her accent is so sweet
this van is like a clown car, small on the outside and big in the inside 🥰💕
😂 This is brilliant! Thank you for watching and for the wonderful comparison 🤪🚐🌟 xx Tania
What a lovely video! Your Mum made a great choice with Jits - way more space and much easier to live in than a VW, yet still compact enough to go anywhere (a real advantage in some Portuguese old town centres, as you must know!) I first lived in a van as a student in the 1970's and have looked at many hundreds since -
but have long thought the Autosleeper Symbol takes some beating. Guess it's the ES (Extra seat) model? - which gives even more flexibility. BTW - could the mugs be Autosleeper's original crockery? - as their vans always came complete with crockery and glasses.
Nice to see young travellers relishing vanlife in something different from the usual 'cool' vehicles.
I'll watch out for you in Portugal - Happy travels!
Amazing the amount of thought that goes into maximising space in such little vans. We have a 19.5' Hymer Aktiv on a Dodge Chassis (made in Canada - we're from the East coast of Canada) and love our little tiny home. We are not full timers and have only owned it for a year. We did spend 2.5 months travelling all over Florida in the US this winter til Covid drove us back home. Last summer we travelled all over Atlantic Canada with "River" (name of our van). We were hoping to travel around Newfoundland this summer but that's been put on the back burner. Loved your van tour. When you had the back doors open, I noticed you had a very blank back wall. Many North Americans take advantage of that space by adding 3M hooks and hanging items (broom, hoses, tools, jackets, knapsacks etc). Love your videos! Beautiful photography!
OMG I'm totally in love with this sweet, cosy little van. Love the colors and the simplicity of the lay out and the interior, she has everything and stil is such a modest litlle one. Just love her and wish you both lost of joy and happiness with her on your travels!
Me too
Great video guys! We have an 04 Symbol - almost identical to Jits. One recommendation would be to change all the lighting to LED. I used 14" units which were about £30 each. Not cheap but they use a fraction of the power of your existing. Also, I swapped out the fridge for a 12v compressor one. My 120w solar will provide more than enough to run it. No more mucking about with gas, which is great.
Also, I got the van chipped. Power is up from 85hp to 115hp. It is brilliant. Actually uses less diesel but means no more changing gear for every little hill.
Good advice
Jits is so impressive!!! Your mum would be so so proud of carrying on her legacy and Jits giving you all the opportunities she would have wished for you both. Can’t wait for Spain 🇪🇸
Thank you very, very much for your heartfelt message. It means more than you know to hear. We don’t speak of Adam’s loss much but it has been hard. Reminders like yours are always appreciated 💛 Thank you Ash 🌼 xx Tania
Oh my God, I love her! For an old van, she has so much to offer 😍! Adam, your Mum seems like a legend going off by herself, sorry to hear shes not here anymore💛 ! Would love to invest in a van to go travelling! Keep the Jits videos coming 👏
Love how much you love Jits! Our van Humphrey is 17 years old and we sometimes think about upgrading, but seeing everything still working well on Jits makes me think we'll stick with what we've got!
Such an amazing tour, so much detail!! Currenrly trying to design a van conversion so gonna be borrowing some ideas from Jits for sure ❤❤
Yay!! Delighted that Jits is a source of inspiration for you Alyssa!! I’m very excited to see how your van life journey unfolds for you. Thank you for your continued love and support, here and on Instagram! Also hi to your mum who tunes in too! 🚐🌟 xx Tania
We think that to
Jits is just so gorgeous and so versatile! Love having a good nosey round other peoples vans haha 😉 Favourite bit “you basically just shit in a box and then empty the box” - Joys of vanlife! 😂💩
Thank you Beth! And delighted that you appreciate our sense of humour 💩🤣 xx T
What a great little van, she has great functional design. No wonder your mum loved her. It would suit me well.
One of the best vans ever built thanks for video
Oh wow, this makes us so so happy to hear! Thank you, Jamie ❤️xx Tania
Your mum chose wisely!
She did indeed! Thank you Gail 💛 xx
How did I miss that you’d posted this?? FINALLY we get to meet Jits properly and what a clever van she is!!! Her versatility and fantastic use of space is mind-blowing!! As you know, I’m just starting out on the conversion of a much larger vehicle, but there’s so many clever ideas in Jits that I can’t help but be inspired to maximise my use of space, even though I will have a lot more of it to play with! Adam - having lost a parent myself I cannot think of a more fabulous way to remember your mum than to continue having such amazing adventures in Jits. Absolutely wonderful video as always - looking forward to seeing more of you guys and Jits now that you’re back on the road! 😍😁👌🏻
I love your van. I can't believe how, for an older van, she is equipped w/ so many unique things that even newer vans don't have. 👍
So true
Yaaaaaay we loved this! Its so nice to get to know Jits a bit better. And you are so right, she has everything you might need for vanlife! Greetings from Germany
Thank you so much for tuning in Angelique!! I’m delighted to hear you love Jits... perhaps she can inspire Jalapeño’s conversion when it comes to modularity? 🙈 Sending you lots of love 💛 xx Tania
Brilliant van by today’s standards, how advanced it must have been when it was first built
Thank you Jon! We always say the same 🥰 We truly appreciate those that went through the effort on thinking of everything for Jits 🚐🌟 xx Tania
THIS is the kind of van I've been looking for! Compact WITH a bathroom. Gotta save up now
This makes us very happy to hear! So great that you stumbled across our van tour and it’s served as inspiration for your own! Best of luck saving for your tiny home on wheels 🚐💕 xx Tania
How do u live money?? Id love to travel like this-!!!!..drove to cali with. 4kids..((all this)$ we had so much fun.took 7 days..oh the memories..we drove in a izuzu&hubby hubby drove the u- hu
Absolutely love Jits what a smart design.
Thanks a million Crystal! Great to hears others appreciate Jits too! 🚐 💕 xx Tania
Inspirational. I had a vw transporter but unfortunately due to rust she has gone but I love your van all the creature comforts. I want to live in a van full time so hopefully watching your videos will help me make the transition and find a new van for that adventure. Safe travels
At last! After sitting through an interminable number of appallingly-filmed, badly edited, awfully-presented, Instagram-oriented, hopelessly derivative van vlogs and tours, what a huge bloody relief to find this one. Well shot, splendidly edited, a proper use of cutaways and voiceover and graphics plus a lovely sprinkling of creativity to bring it all to life. I love it, I love you two and I love your van. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yay! I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed watching our van tour, Arnold. It’s always so rewarding to hear that our extra efforts are appreciated. I hope you also managed to come across other van tours and vlogs you enjoy - if you haven’t checked them out already, our friends Craig and Aimee make the most creative and entertaining content on their channel called Kinging-it! Thanks again for watching 🚐💕 xx Tania
Love the tour! Very smartly laid out! I would get a fire extinguisher to go with the fire blanket. I would also move the carbon monoxide detector near the floor as it’s heavier than oxygen and drops down. I would also install a security system, as many vanlifers have gotten robbed. What an awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent advice. Carbon Monoxide falls and floats along the ground, by the time it is detected at a height its often done it’s damage. Change that now guys.
I thought the same ! ... CO is heavier than air ?? But I googled and it is NOT heavier ... it's slightly lighter... Google to persuade yourselves ?
Thank you very much Christine!! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour 🥰 And yes I can confirm that we have now moved the carbon monoxide detector lower, just above the floor 🌟 And we have a fire extinguisher but silly us, we forgot to show it as it’s kept next to my front seat. Thanks again and sending you lots of love from us here in France 🚐🇫🇷 xx Tania
Ash CMTB Thanks Ash! We have now changed it 🥰 So nice to see so many people care enough to tell us 💛 xx Tania
Dan Stobbart I just googled this too and you’re right Dan, the advice is contradictory in places 😨 xx Tania
Every time you opened a cupboard the sound gave me major flashbacks to my family caravan as a kid! Great tour guys, cheers!
Hey Kim! So so cool to hear that roadtripping has been in your family since you were little! I always think that there's no better way to travel as a family that this, I'm sure you've got lots of wonderful memories from back then... Thank you again for watching our tour of our beloved, Jits! 🚐 💕 xx Tania
What a great van. Brilliant design
Thank you Pamela!! We’re delighted you think so, even though Jits is an oldie 🚐🌟 xx Tania
I really love the layout of your van from all that ive watched... in the future if i have a chance, i will adopt your layout 😊 .... goodluck... God bless
Aww thank you so so much Vyenne!! This makes us so happy to hear... we would love to know that you end up with a van inspired by our beloved Jits!! 🚐 💕 xx Tania
This is an incredible build. It looks so functional and cozy. You've build yourselves a lovely home. :o)
Thank you very much Shannon! We were lucky that Jits was already built like this by professionals that took pride in her design. 🚐🌟 Hope you enjoy watching our others films 💕 xx Tania
wow. love jits. the best van!
old style is always the best!
We think so too! Oldies are not for everyone but it’s always nice to hear from those that appreciate them as much as us 🚐💫 xx Tania
Best van ever 💙 I wish I could get this in the US.
Thank you Chellie!! It’s such a shame that there are not more Jits’ around the world!! 🚐🌟 Sending love you you in the States 🌼 xx Tania
hey guys the new subscriber here😍❤️️😜🙋♂️
Hellooooo and welcome!! 🥰 Hope you enjoy following along with Jits!! 🚐💫 Where in the world are you tuning in from? xx Tania
Amazing
how well thought out Jits is
Hi Huibert! Thank you for saying so! We love Jits and it’s great that others appreciate her too 🚐🌟 Hope you enjoy the rest of our films just as much 💛 xx Tania
This is the best van tour I've seen - also great to hear the English language so well spoken. Lots of the features in this van were also in our caravan - just had more space for another bed etc. Thank you for sharing this....I really enjoyed the tour. Enjoy your travels. My husband and I travelled widely with our two sons in Europe in our caravan and we got to see places we couldn't have afforded to visit without the van. Post van we travelled all over the world but now we only head over to the mainland usually once a year...not this year obviously. Take care and stay safe! Greetings from Northern Ireland.
I immediately liked because I think I spotted a first aid kit. Something seldom seen/mentioned in van tours.
Where am I at? I'm looking at various setups for inspiration. Currently saving up and am looking to convert a van when I have enough saved and get a job I can do remotely (leaning toward the dodge promaster 136 or 159).
Great video. Cheers from California
Helloooooo! I’m sure you’re real name is not Blurry Face but it’s a fun username 🤪 You’re the first person to comment on our First Aid Kit... eagle eyes for sure 🥰 It’s definitely important for us to be as safe & responsible as we can be - glad you appreciated it! Also best of luck with realising your van life dream! You’re doing the right thing by doing as much research online as possible so you know what to look for 🚐🌟 Semding you lots of love from us in Spain 🇪🇸 xx Tania
I Love this camper.
I'm going to look into flying over, buying one, and shipping it over to the US.
She's Fabulous. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Kat!! What a compliment 🥰 Not sure if you are serious in your quest to adopt Jits’ family but either way, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you for tuning in 🚐💫 xx Tania
Great things come in small packages, like Jits!! She's one of the smallest campervans I've ever seen and yet is the most efficiently designed. Most vans on RUclips are much younger and bigger, but have much less in them. Like Adam's mum, she's smart, efficient, has an adventurous, loving spirit, and has everything you need. 🥰 Beautiful and well executed van tour guys! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Jitters/Jits is SO cute!! You guys are very lucky to have inherited her! Thank you for sharing! I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mum. 😢💔
