    In this weeks video, I experience for my first time what it's like to stay inside a stealthy, luxury converted mercedes sprinter van which has a unique camouflage style wrap on the outside and a super king size bed on the inside.

    Camouflaged only if you park next to a ronseal woodstain fence.

    Will, can I suggest a video idea. Interviewing all the owners of the campers/vehicles you've camped in. The main question is "What's the story behind this camper / vehicle setup"
    It could be a compilation video with clips from different interviews

    Good fun ! …. Hardly stealth, stands out like a sore thumb( especially with wood burner burning 😂 we had same vehicle, but with motorhome conversion. £50k second/ third hand. Hated it, tooooo narrow, like living on a very narrow tube train….. and yep! Had to make up beds 😩
    Beautiful beast to drive tho… just dreaded parking up 😂😂😂x 6 months later, sold. Got a chubbier one now…. And £20k back in bank ! It’s a very personal picky thing finding ‘the right ‘ONE’ ❤️😂 love the series ! Good work! Xxx

    really nice pick. those micro wood stove warmers are cool. I've heard that if you want the wood to burn throughout the whole night, you need to stuff it full of wood and limit the oxygen intake and cause a slow controlled burn by closing air intake vents to some 80%-90% shut position.

    The vans just keep getting better and better, Will. How gorgeous is that sprinter-inside and out and its clear that van is certainly a labour of love. Gotta say, these videos are looking like a labour of love for you also. You absolutely light up with every video now and seem very happy with this change in direction. It certainly shows in the videos in the more doccu-travel style of the new format. Video quality is great as is the content. I'm loving each new video and the vibe. Bessy regs-Kenny

    Great video, love the layout of this van although I think it is too big (our Renault Master is 5,5m, with a 2m 'non-fixed' bed, during the day we still have 2m of space to move around) not such a fan of the dark wood interieur and also you perfectly demonstrated why wood burners ar no good at all (next to the fact they are verry polluting too) we love our Truma gas heater, you just turn it on and set the thermostat to the desired temp and you will never be cold.

    Not sure I'd call it 'camo' as it looks more like a log cabin on wheels (which I'm not a fan of). The inside, however, is simply stunning - very well appointed and thought out. But then, you're renting a Mercedes, so you should expect high end. Love the wood stove, though then of course you'd need to cart firewood around with you all the time. Great video, as always 😀😀
