Whether you have a T5, VW T5.1, T6, T6.1 or even an older T2, T2.5, T4, the VW Vanlife scene is amazing, with so much help and assistance available for whatever project you wish to attempt. Panel van, Kombi, Converted Camper or VW California Beach or Ocean, enjoy the freedom van life brings.
The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along.
I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.
I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests.
Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Vanlife is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
There are many great camper adventures to come

I have been procrastinating for months and months. Campervan?motorhome?caravan?perhaps following you might help me with my decision making

[@StaycationLifestyle]

It’s not easy. A small van is great for the daily use, but a bigger van is better for the creature comforts.
If only one, then Transporter. If you can afford more, then mix and match between Car, Kombi van, campervan, caravan, motorhome, bigger camper 🤣

[@shaunpbass8351]

Cool video as always..thank you👍

[@StaycationLifestyle]

Thank you. Part 2 is better. Although just been given permission to release a new product video this weekend I’ve been sat on for ages. So part 2 will be next week 😁

So great content but I must say as an owner of a ducato based campervan euro spec with the door on the drivers side it’s horses for courses we have owned umpteen transporters and the serve a purpose a campervan like ours is a happy medium as it isn’t prone to mega damage on the body as it’s a tin box a motorhome is a flimsy bit of composite material that if damaged is never the same. And so ugly. But saying that we have had a swift kontiki in the past and once on-site great for the comfort but that’s about it. It’s all individual choice. Rent before you buy is my advice

[@StaycationLifestyle]

Hire/rent before you buy is definitely the right advice. I’ve heard stories of people wanting to buy their dream van, they buy it and realise they made a big mistake.
Everyone is different. I would love a bigger camper, but I need a daily and can’t afford both

[@kenbradshaw8983]

Very sensible comments, all so very true.

[@StaycationLifestyle]

Thank you 👍🏼

Ooh that coffee machine looks good 👀

[@StaycationLifestyle]

It is very good. I use Nespresso pods, but it can be used with ground coffee also

[@_bav]

Q: How can you tell that a motorhome is not the same as a campervan?
A: From your bloody lip if you try telling a campervanner they are.
[ONLY JOKING!!! - 'vanners are peaceful... unless seriously provoked... like being told they drive a motorhome 🤐]
