VW T25 T3 Vanagon weekend get away using some of the kit we sell (ARB awning etc)

- We get asked all the time about what gear we use while camping. For us camping just isn’t camping without a real fire and to be able to cook outside is a real bonus. One thing that can make things a bit uncomfortable on longer trips is having a fire in a raised fire pit like the BushPig and having all the smoke blow in the side door of the van, especially if the awning is out. Having a fire under the cover of an awning out of the rain while being outside until now has been a bit of a no go for us especially when on a trip when you only have a few items of clothes and you want to make them last. You really don’t realise how much your clothes and hair can smell like woodsmoke until you go into a supermarket or something for supplies and you soon realise how much you pong! On this weekend trip we are using our trusty stove that can be found right here if you are interested in finding out more about it.
We have recently upgrade our awning set up to the ARB with the CampervanCulture.com fitting kit. We ditched the Fiamma simply because on the F35 pro there are to many plastic parts and 85% had failed in one way or another. Sure You can buy replacement parts for them but they are extremely expensive and not viable when you consider the value of your damaged awning and how much it would cost to repair the parts that are broken. We looked hard at the ARB and there just simply wasn’t anything around that worked correctly to connect the ARB to a T25/T3/Vanagon. You can find bastardised Fiamma brackets around that are bent, re drilled etc in an attempt to make them do but we found them to sit to close to the top of the sliding door so the door catches the bag/zip, they sat to low so the add on rooms for the ARB were to saggy on 2wd vans and you had to hunch over to walk underneath them. The sides of a Westfalia roof would still catch the rubber trim and they also rattled from the feedback we read about and that is enough to drive anyone nuts. Fitting roof rack brackets was especially hit and miss so we took all of this info on board and custom made out own fitting bracket sets so we could offer a complete ARB awning set and a range of add on rooms for the vans we drive on our web shop right here. We then approached ARB wholesale and they loved what we had done and allowed us to stock ARB products (ARB are an Australian company) and buy in stock to have here at CVC HQ here in the UK for quick dispatch. Being an ARB stockist is quite a selective process and we are really happy to be part of this right now as it allows us to bridge the gap of Camper van and overland travel gear. We have all had to put up with plastic or nylon made products for years as camper van owners and our goal is to change this with all of the products we stock.
Camping lighting has been another thing we haven’t been able to settle on now for a few years as lots of lighting set ups are either extremely power hungry or require batteries or fuel. This seams crazy when you have such a big battery bank in the vehicle so we are now settled on our CVC magnetic light bar kits here.
The campsite we used this time is Osney Lodge Farm. It’s a great cheap place that is close to home and very near London Gatwick Airport, ideal if flying into to UK. It is big enough to tuck yourself away if you want some quiet time or if you have kit just park up at the top of the meadow near the trees where the kids all hang out and play nicely. www.osneylodgef...
Honestly, camp set up goals.. 100% best set up I've ever encountered. Great work jed!
I want one of these woodstoves!! Fab setup.
Nice video! I watch your videos from 4 years ago (when i bought my t3 caravelle 1.6 TD). Greetings from Bulgaria!
Fab, really enjoyed the video Your lad will be a man now I suppose! You look like you have been on some super adventures!
Going to order the ARB awning from you I think plus some other things.
Great company. Inspirational too.
We are heading out today for our first kind of adventure in my 1989 Autohomes Komet that I bought 6 weeks ago, a picnic up at Orton Scar near Shap in Cumbria. :-)
Regards, Fiona and Alice, Morland, Cumbria.
Wow! you guys are the camping pros from dover!!!
Would love to see you together with Tim Aldis in one video, once your both LTs are ready.
Maybe I'll come along for a short visit during my UK-trip in June to take some bits out of your shop and maybe there's the time to have a sneak preview of the new beast.
Those are some pretty awesome camping upgrades! Cheers.

westy goals. bad ass van man.
Where abouts on the South Downs Way was that car park at the end of your video? It looks like a lovely spot to spend the day?
Love the bus
do the kickstarter, have people donate money for the trip to the US, have the van shipped, fly over and explore.
Where is this? The U.K.? Great vid. Some of that terrain at the end didn't look like it! More like desert, did you film in 2 countries?
Nice video, how some ever, packing that sooty stove into a Westy? Nah, too dirty. Other wise it's a charming little unit.
+SargonBighorn it fits on the roof in it's carry bag. Take a look on the CampervanCulture.com web shop for more details.
"Insperational" enough said.

It only rains most of the time!
why do u use wood to burn instead of charcoal?
iamDarrennn We use wood as it is free and like the flames wood give while camping.
Fast man! :D

Loved the video! Can you tell me what solar panels you used the plug into your electric hookup? :)
Do you sell that wood burning stove?
Yeas we do Robert, you can find them right here in the link, campervanculture.com/shop/the-frontier-stove-portable-log-burning-stove/
Hey Jed - I know this is an older vid but I was revisiting it tonight and my attention was drawn to what was cooking on the wood stove at 6:14 - 6:20? Are those sausages or shwarma meat formed on the sticks or is it some kind of 'mystery-meat-on-a-stick'…I've eaten a lot of that in Asian countries. Ha-Ha! Looks good, whatever! Thanks (in advance) and I love all that you and your crew do!
@@CampervanCulture.com-Official - Thanks for the timely info…I've even found a bunch of recipes now…something that we don't see down here in Texas! I might start a business and get RICH! LOL!
wait, what kinda stove is that mate?

Great little stove. Hope it doesn't burn your canvas? Don't half like your beer. Haha
