How epic that she involves her dad, and speaks so kindly of him.
It was so touching.
Really nice
If her dad is a reflection of his daughter then he must be amazing 👏
Why is this epic?
@@benking9503 It appears that they are proud of each other.
What a likable and down to earth man. Good on him for grabbing a deal with sweet Sarah.
Just read this comment half way through the video 🤦♂️
Spoiler alert
I think Steven was serious with camp car..🤣
Steven is only serious about Tik Tok.
He is very camp himself isn’t he 😂
Agreed
I concur.
@@shsh-he5qg😂😂
Jason appears to be extremely genuine person and all of the investors have been really kind and honest with him I wish him all the luck.
Sara and Touker are very clever, how can the other dragons not see how much the camper/day van community has grown over the last few years. It is a massively growing business, great idea fella, chapeau 👏🏻
What is the difference between his camper van conversion business and many others? That's the issue.
And the price of conversion is absurdly low.
@@HDsharp the price
@@greenandpleasant5523 £2000 isn't low.
They are more into luxury motor homes
"FFS i guess I'm not retiring anymore then"
- Sara's dad probably
😆 Great comment
😂😂
Haha. He taught he everything she knows and now she's thrown it back in his face.
Yes lol...."girl I had enough building yours...now I gotta do this on a regular" :-)
lol touker and Steven are always throwing shade at each other 😂😂
Yeah, I don't think they like each other
@@dominicharvey6048touker is like the Wealdstone warrior of dragons den 😂
More like Steven is disrespectful.
They both ended up running out of time to smoke a joint between them before they were filmed
Steven is the most loud mouth unlikeable dragon on the show. He’s jealous cause he fluked it with tiktok page and is 30 mill while Touker is worth 300 mill 😂😂😂. Can’t stand Steven.
No brainer I think. He gets the marketing-guru Dragon - and her dad - who's got a lifetime of hands-on experience - to be there everyday he's needed! Winning
Totally! By the way, if you are interested I have made an in depth analysis of this pitch over on my channel - I would love to know what you think.
He doesn’t need her dad. He’s doing all the physical stuff already.
@station-7 If you don't understand why her dad's advice and experience is a major advantage, I can't convince you.
@@gideonporter537 - Nice dodge.
@@station-7 her dad is obiously a business man, so hr can mentor him..sounds like her dad is bored likes help
I love it when Sara gets a deal, she's so happy.
i'm so pleased he picked her, have never seen her so excited about a pitch.
Steven is a wally. Jason is a star - a genuine person.
Steven is becoming very cocky, i dont know what his beef is with Touker. always seems to have a jab at him
Aye, ticks me off.
Because he’s a nobody and is jealous of Touker. Touker is worth 300 mill while he’s worth about 30 mill 😂😂😂
This was a while back now, feel like they’ve calmed down a bit now. Touker is the man though, he’s really grown on me over the years.
Typical *angry MANDINGO* Syndrome 😂
Steven doesn't have offices that why
I have a VW Cadi Maxi Life and found Redcote online and its a brilliant company
Have you got photos I can look at
I think it should be called "Mine Camp".
You should read Hitler's book about his time working at Butlins, "Mein Holiday Camp".
😂
The Fuhrer: I'll offer you all of the money for 50% of the business owing to the fact that I clearly inspired your brand 🧐
😮 🎉
😂😂
So glad he went with the lady and her dad !!
This would be perfect for anglers, Jason needs to advertise in the angling press. Wishing him all success.
I've converted my 2008 Toyota Yaris in to a camper. I did remove the rear seats for extra head height/storage for my paddleboard but got a single bed, lots of storage, cooking facilities. In the wheel well I lined it with insulation and even in the height of summer this area kept cool enough to keep butter and cheese etc.
You should make a video on this 😂
@@sachsuccess Yaris camper'car' tour, I actually could 🤔😅
@@TheVanderfulLife Let me know when it's uploaded. Will be subscribing for that!
Yay❤❤ I have a Redcote conversion I love it - it’s allowed me to go out and about within in my budget well done and good luck 🎉🎉
Great to see a guy who has built up a great business and is passionate about it. The business should go far with the experience of the dragon and her dad along side, You can tell it means everything to him.
He deserves it...well done
Well done Sarah, best wishes with this endeavour.
Peter’s going to create the ikea version and get the patent 🤣
@andyt9181 totally and it's always fun to make something yourself that your family and friends can enjoy
😂😂😂
Already exists, many companies do it... The point here is that for micros, the companies doing it are all tiny entities like this one. For bigger vans there's Evo Motion Design. With the right brand, guidance and marketing, they could become the Evo Motion of micro campers. :)
Could not patent.
Well done the passion in a business is 60% of its future success 👏
steven, you need to reign it in, sarah, well done, love your passion and ACTUAL HELP OFFERED!
Knew she wanted it. Watched the TV programme she on with her dad, with the campervan and she was very passionate about Campervans
Driven by passion more than pure business in this case which is the perfect scenario for Jason. By the way, if you are interested I have made an in depth analysis of this pitch over on my channel - I would love to know what you think.
Good on the lad. Seems like a genuine one.
He barely spoke, why does he need to reign it in?
There’s a dude in wales who’s been doing this for years. “Amdro”
His “boot jump” conversion is great
I think the other dragons under estimate the future of camper vans, especially at this price point. Good luck to the chap.
Very limited market for those who literally just want to doss down for the night, the big market is camper vans you can stand up in.
markets saturated with them
@@johndawson8806 Excellent, help keep the prices down 👍
Well done Jason! Good luck with the next leg of the micro camper business!
WOW!!! What an amazing offer from Sarah - and her dad must be top bloke.
Ive been saying that this industry is going to grow a lot due to high rents forcing people into living in their cars. Depressing but true.
That is some great pricing, over here in the US a van like that would be $40K or more
It's a 10yo car with a £2k kit for £10k, car would cost £5-7k.
But wider and bigger? No?
Sarah always makes a fair offer
Wouldnt this be great with a small video clip of the guy getting home from his mundane job in his work van and unloading his carpet fitting gear / electrician / plumbers kit and fitting this for the weekend? Great for the
many solo travellers.
"okay, I thought it was just 1%" 🤣🤣
"our vans are out standing our their field"
"Sounds Fascinating!!" 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Van camping is on the rise because less people are willing to spend ridiculous amounts of money to go on holiday. I love his set up and it's more affordable than I expected.
Slogan "Even Peter Jones can fit in it" 😂
Brand "Carpervan"
Jason is still in business and has a website.
Did Sarah really end up investing? They pull out after the camera stops rolling like 50% of the time
Website name?
@@bertiewooster3326 Redcote Leisure
@Chilling_Chilling how you know they pull out?
@@ketovoreking5440there are various news stories about it, including one from the BBC which explains why. Lots of reasons - false claims, complicated ownership structures, and (most simply) both sides have a better think and decide to pull out.
It is a TV series so pouring over accounts, and signing legal documents is probably not a ratings magnet!
My Mum and Dad bought one of these a few years ago. It's still going strong and they love it.
They're well built and well designed. Best thing is, if your car clapps out, you can just pop it in your new car. Quick and easy. They're a brilliant product! ❤
The dragons really need to get out a bit more and mix with working class people. I have no idea why they were so surprised with this concept. In my experience, the market is flooded with with the micro camper kits and conversions. But anyway, in any case, I'm please that Jason walked away with a good deal and a mentor. His business will no doubt go to the next level.
There are plenty of converters in the country. This is not really a dragon dens style investment. They are offering new.
What a cool idea! I looked on the website - and the idea is that the camping seats and table completely fold away, so you can actually unfold the passenger seats and hold 5 people!
I've subscribed, one for the future
There's already the same thing on the market, its called the Amdro boot jump.
Not only did he get the most awesome offer, from the best dragon, and her dad, but he also got into business with the most beautiful dragon, inside and out 🤩
I agree, Sara is gorgeous.
"Dragon's Dad"
"Father of Dragons"...
I feel a spin-off coming...
Camper box could be a brand name
Seems like a really decent guy with a good honest well priced product. And he knew his financial numbers!
I loved watching this show back in my London days in the late 00’s good to see it still on.
Am I the only one who actually thinks that “CampCar” is a good brand name? It’s catchy, it’s memorable, and it tells you exactly what the brand is. It’s perfect.
Im so glad he picked Sara you can feel her passion
Love Sarah!
The new brand is called the Micro Camper! Genius!
I bet more people are looking for conversions not for camping, but to live in their vehicles because rent is so high.
I was looking forward to the camper not being long enough and them slamming the boot on Peter and shrinking him by 2 inches
very rare there's a real emotional investement, she'll make tha work
Now THIS is a businesa opportunity that i would be excited to invest in !! Good going Sarah!
Steven doesn’t even realise he’s a quota hire lmao. Bless.
Cynic
How rude and completely disrespectful… Classic keyboard bully who would never dare something like this to his face. SMDH.
I would happily say to his face lmfao. Facts are facts, whether they hurt your feelings or not. Grow up.@@nicolamunroe1176
Sarah was very passionate and excited about this business. You could actually see her body shaking. I'm glad he chose her
The numbers sounded fantastic. Just surprised he hasn't rebranded yet
Excelente price for the inteire van and with the kit included ❤
He chose the best investor.
Brilliant product - great man!
Well done for choosing Sarah --
she and her Dad have the heart.
Deborah listens to Peter, changes his words slightly but basically says the same thing. No point her being there really.
I've never seen Sara want a deal so bad, that was lovely to see. What is the name of his business? I am quite tempted!
This man was so nervous and just so normal. So many people come on these shows and its like they have spent thousands of hours in front of cameras. None of it connects. This guy felt REAL
Fun seeing the dragons bid against each other
Touker: I can offer you some office space
Sara: I can offer you my dad
Stephen always throws shade at Touker, when (with a net worth of £200m) it's Mr Suleyman who casts the bigger shadow.............
Touker has class also, something which Steven will never have.
Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
@@shestewa6581 I've decided I don't like riddles
@@CrewGonWild “And for that reason, I’m out” 🤣
@@CrewGonWild it’s a game of thrones quote shah. Though I think it’s more philosophical than a riddle. There is no riddle there.
Very cool, my dad, sister AND brother in law are all into this stuff
Honest and humble they like him
Say what you want about Stephen but Touker is often the first to get defensive and/or petty.😂
I think I saw that, too.
But they'll need to grow up.
Also, Touk been there a minute.
Sara’s brilliant. If anything can be learnt from going on this show, it’s simply to be yourself. The likability factor clearly shone through here. What a nice man, and I wish him every success going forward.👍🏻
Agreed with Peter.
Camp in your own car 🤩👌🏻
Brilliant idea. Friends have just had a conversion done on their all electric van. It cost so much more than this
There’s loads of companies who provide this sort of camping system. Reimo and Ququq to name but two.
@dlawrence. Yep,not to mention all the hundreds and hundreds of individuals who make their own versions.
Steven has no respect for people, if he had he wouldn't be so rude towards Toukar.
Watching Diary of a CEO he seems like a nice guy, but on this show he’s like an arrogant dick
Stephen trying to belittle Touker is just the new ‘Jenny “I’m out” Campbell’ ….but way more annoying 🙄
Cringeworthy...he doesn't even do anything original, just the same catty jibes.
With so many people that can’t even afford rent this would help a lot.
Im about to order right now
Sarah, what heart she showed here., lovely to watch..
Debra is a true actress...
Touker is genuine and best 👌
How has this video blown up so much! Good on him though!
Getting your money back in eighteen months isn't an investment, it's a loan.
if bussiness healthy like this there should no problem.
Great business idea. The deal however...not so good! 100k for 15% when he has 300k+ in stock and 75k in the bank, and shes asking for her imvestment to be repaid. Sara would pay 100k and instantly own 15% of the stock and cash = around 75k.
How amazing!
Im loving this ❤️
Even the blind couod see this is a grand idea. This man single handedly built this business i woukd jump on it whether i am oassionaye or not. He is passionate about it that is enough for me
That us a awesome idea. I have a small family it would be ace just to change the car into a camper for 1 night on weekends park up in beach . Then change it back for work through week. Save you buying a expensive camper storing it the tax insurance, maintenance. Awesome idea
How do you get a Berlingo in the lift?
Lift is industrial size
I just effing loved this show!! Hadn't seen it before, but loved it. And I think he chose wisely. I admire her honesty, love her enthusiasm and the fact that she got her dad involved. I can see this going very very well. Good luck!
Zilch new about this conversion
That's the cheapest conversion kit ever!
I’m going straight to the website to buy one of these
Sounds like he doesnt need the investment and came on for the publicity.
Did you not see he accepted an offer for investment? That's completely in contradiction to your comment
@@TheWeightliftingTriathlete no, he also said he's got @ £75k in the bank ... he doesn't really need it, but it helps and being on TDD is exactly what he wanted cos he said he needed more advertizing ..
Believe me, most entrepeneurs would rather risk an investor's money than their own.... that's why a lot of businesses come on the show even when they make £250k profit. The magic wand company is a good example - still wanted dragon's money and investment from them.@@joline2730
If he thinks making him the IKEA of camper vans was a better idea, why not get him a brand and do that ?
Redcote leisure have been going for years.
Peter could have asked for a roof conversion for his head and with his shoes off and a rear end ventilator he would have been really fine😂
It looks very portable, should call it Carry on Campervan
Carry On Up the Camper
Really like touka. Jason is growing on me
