    Join us this week for our 5 seat, 5 berth van conversion van tour. We've converted this 2020 Volkswagen Crafter LWB into a camper van that sleeps and seats a family of 5. We wanted to avoid the reliance of gas so have had a system designed to allow the camper van to be all electric.
    We are a family of five from South Wales living full time and vlogging our campervan journies and travels around the UK and EU. Join us for some fun, laughter, tears and pain and we will share our experiences, knowledge and finds with you.

    Fair play guys, you have made a cracking job, if you hadn't filmed the progress, you could pass that off as a professional conversion, absolutely outstanding 👌👌 take care love Tony and Cas xx

    Seen a lot of builds on RUclips none as challenging as yours and I’ve got to say I was very sceptical that you’d be able to do it so well. I am just blown away with what you have done. You’ve not only made an amazing space that is incredibly unique but you’ve done it in a ridiculously quick time and it looks incredible. Hats off guys. Just wow!!!

    I was looking forward to this one...the grand tour! it looks amazing and cozy and i think the pods are brilliant and the kids obviously love their individual spaces. One day when they are older your kids are going to look back to these times and be so glad that they had a childhood full of unconventional adventure i have no doubt about that!

    Nice job, as the family grows will do a larger mk2. We started with a 4 berth caravan and ended up with a 30ft long 9 berth for 4 of us. The boys are now in there teens and are as tall as us. Having the extra space allowed us to install a woodburner and that was a game changer, just need to finish my 4x4 lorry to tow it with.

    @joec4871 Год назад +1

    Very nice design and good use of space considering there are 5 people in the rig. I wouldn't have put the cooker right next to the bed though. Simply because you could have popping grease or someone could be sleeping while the other is cooking and the kids compartment is right below it. May have been better to put the sink there across from the bathroom. But overall a very nice build. Safe travels.

    I'm guessing there's been criticism about the kids again and honestly, why can't people just naff off! Whilst a van is not for me, I honestly believe you guys have done an awesome job thinking about the little touches that make it right for you. I know that the kids will be thinking it's an adventure every time you go out in the van and what kid doesn't love adventures?! Great job guys!!

    Fanbloodytastic guys, you've achieved what you set out to do. Very cosy looking and now my wife is jealous as she says our M/H looks cold compared to this build. Hopefully she is not hinting that I try to do something like this.
    Happy Travels, all the best Drew & Linda
