Looks fab! I am currently sitting in my Toyota Alphard, 2005, imported last year and converted by Wellhouse Leisure. I'm toasty warm and absolutely love it! Half the price of a VW 😊
My camper is a 2016 LWB Citroen Dispatch (same as a pro-ace). You can’t swivel the double passenger seat, not enough room to manoeuvre them. Most of us buy a single swivel base from Kiravans or FASP and swap the double seat for a single passenger seat/rails. I love my van, as does everyone else who sees it. So much more for your money. My hook up is under the bonnet. Pop top is the same as mine, fitted by Drive Lodge
Hi Kev & Jason! I'm currently binge watching ALL of your videos & enjoying the banter between you Lads...Happy New Year! Sandy from San Francisco, California.
Not quite because you have heating in a lot of pop-top campers along with electric etc but I guess you'd have to sleep inside to really know what it's like in a pop-top bed for a night. It's probably more for kids while the adults can get the comfort of the rock & roll bed!😀
Great for a young couple, solo traveler or day van. I had a Mazda Bongo of similar spec which was not the most reliable and for an older couple, a bit of a hassle with the sleeping arrangements for two when you are a bit less bendy!
Hi guys, hope you are well and cheeky as usual! The Proace is my fave and I'd have an auto in a heartbeat. 180bhp uprated engine for the auto and a five year warranty as opposed to VW's one year only! You didn't say who converted this one? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
Nice looking campervan, but I'll stick with more space in my motorhome. You mentioned a review of some of the poor home/self conversions. Hope you will do one to show the pitfalls/dangers. I'm sure it would make us all appreciate the work that goes into the professional conversions more. Keep up the great work, always a laugh.
I have had Toyota and Lexus cars for over forty years and never had a breakdown they are incredibly reliable, I have always wanted a camper van and Toyota would be my choice, I really do like the layout, have you ever had a Toyota Alphard for sale?
It’s very likely that I’ll go to Hertford Campers and purchase a 2015-18 eNV200. My campervan has to small enough to be a daily driver, but big enough to have a kitchen and bed.
The only thing that lets it down is the lack of a swivel seat that effectively means that there is only living space for two people. If I was in the market for a camper van I would definitely avoid VWs and getter a better spec or newer van and probably still save money.
I'm with Kev on this one, I'm not a campervan fan either but recognise that a lot of people are. The VW campervans are popular but in my opinion they are over rated & expensive for what they are, this Toyota campervan has everything pretty much that a VW has except the badge & perhaps the cult status? Why follow the crowd when you can have something different, it won't be everyone's cuppa but I would choose the Toyota over the VW. Nice presentation and Jason once you were inside the van you perked up!
thats why the proace culture and parts companies are so massive. All those proace meetings throughout the UK every weekend. not to forget all those classic Proace’s being lovingly restored? What a plonker you are! PS the early part of my comment was sarcasm because I think you might miss it.
Good camper but that double seat in the front needs to be more flexible. In my old camper, the back of the seat folded foward and flat which made a deal of difference on site. I like this van and see the pragmatism about getting one over the VW. However, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi about the VWs and I would still prefer to have of them over this.
I don't and never will understand the wierd obsession off paying an extra 30% for a van or camper for the VW badge. It's a VW for god sake, a poor man's audi as people say. Why are people still spending unnecessary money on these things just because 70 years ago the split screen existed. I just don't get it at all. The transporter have never been any better, nor any more reliable than any other van.
What do you think of the Pro Ace let me know in the COMMENTS 👇
I missed the price sorry. How much is it going for?
Hi im currently converting a 1999 Toyota Estima into a campervan great ideas for the conversion happy camping 😃
Looks fab! I am currently sitting in my Toyota Alphard, 2005, imported last year and converted by Wellhouse Leisure. I'm toasty warm and absolutely love it! Half the price of a VW 😊
What MPG do you get please? 🤔
👍Sue
Twice the reliability 🙂
Smashing little van !
It sure is 👍Hope you two are well ?
Could you please say the price when show your motorhome

Hi Kev & Jason!
I'm currently binge watching ALL of your videos & enjoying the banter between you Lads...Happy New Year!
Sandy from San Francisco, California.
Thank you so much Sandra from California 👍
Better than any VW. Nicer van and better build quality for sure.
Those vans are not a patch on Vw build quality,,
Ir's a great van Paul 👍
Great little van but having had an Alphard you really need a swivel seat at the front for space for the two of you. Love the banter 👍
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice to see a father and son working together in harmony
😂
With the pop top up, surely it’s the same as sleeping in a tent (temperature, noise etc ) but more expensive?

Have the Peugeot version - love it, converted it myself. 11k to buy, 6k for the conversion inc pop top. Mental prices quoted by you guys.
👍

It has been freezing here too - plenty of snow in N Yorkshire - I hate winter lol.

The Toyota Proace campervan is my dream campervan.
Great van Christian 👍
Great video ,Kev's enjoying his airtime ,great stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
have you the knowledge and (bespoked mounting brackets) to fit a roof Awning flat to roof as possible (not vertical) Alphard 2002-2008
Sorry Larry we're not that clever 😂
Interesting vlog! The Toyota Looks great but the NON swivelling front passenger seat would be a deal breaker for me.
Brilliant as always. You both always make me laugh 😃
Glad you enjoyed it😂👍

For me, it’s got to be either an automatic petrol or electric van, but I’m certainly into a quality automatic transmission.
😃
I love it, need to wait a few years for them to come down in price.
👍
Another cracking video lads, would love to see some of the smaller campers you have, if you get them in 👍
👍
Love the banter 👍😂
👍 Stuart
Enjoy your presentations and I don't even want a van
😂👍 Robert
How do u heat up the bed upstair in a cold night?
Maybe a water bottle Right Right 😀
What a beautiful you are & your campers
You guys are cracking me up!
👍

Great comment Tim 👍
I like VW's but I don't like VW tax however this Toyota not only looks great it's well within my budget.
👍
How many can sit in the vehicle on the road legally Sir
Nice one, You never know!!
Hope so!👍
AH ! J'en veux des comme ça en France avec la conduite à droite ! Please ...
You two should get married 🤣
Good presentation 🤪
😂👍
I think it's better than VW but i would prefer two swivel seats rather than the current three.
Nice van 👍
👍 Jimmy

Good stuff thanks
No problem 👍
The return of the ledgand Kev!!!!!! 😂😂😂
👍😂
Come on guys you could have given us the price?
If it didn’t have the middle front seat driver to living area accessible without going outside -

Thanks for sharing Bob 👍
Would you happen to have one in a left hand drive? In Canada? (west coast preferably, but will travel..... ;-)
sorry no Philip 😂
Great review, but the van isn't for me. Looking forward to Kev taking over when Jason retires... ;-)
You and me both!😂
I wish I could afford it! 🚐
One day Gemini 👍
Can I have it Jason and keV ?
You sure can Michael 👍
Nice enough looking vehicle but not for me as no automatic gearbox.
Fair enough! 👍
Hi , What transmiss is the best automatic/Manual ?? For longterm use
👍
👍
nice. No loo though.
👍
I don't and never will understand the wierd obsession off paying an extra 30% for a van or camper for the VW badge.
It's a VW for god sake, a poor man's audi as people say.
Why are people still spending unnecessary money on these things just because 70 years ago the split screen existed. I just don't get it at all.
The transporter have never been any better, nor any more reliable than any other van.
Interesting comment 👍
To you…. To me….. to you….. to me.
😂
Citroen van badge as a toyota . vw vans are over priced but people pay it
👍
6 speed and its got reverse wow
😂
If it’s automatic, I’m in but if it’s manual, I’m sorry!! I’m out!!
😐
The mark up`s are extortionate.
This is only for the English market! 😂
👍
35 bags of sand ? When my investment in crypto pays off... I'm in.

pick up those cigarette butts.
