    Nicely put together Sam, what a thoroughly decent chap you are and you and your team make a great product…..

    Really good video Sam - wish you had done it 8 months ago as would have answered the questions I had…. Some comments as you asked…
    You fitted for me a single captain seat and for us it was a great choice - key was getting from front to back without having to exit the van, but also found it gives us much greater use of space. Not found the lack of being able to slide into the van any hinderance.
    We have a Thetford Porta Potti 335 which is the smallest quality toilet I could find and actually keep in the van in a solid cloth made box (your storage unit will be a great addition to the online shop).
    You fitted for us the rock n roll bed and it is great - easy to use and storage below excellent - you fitted on my request as an extra, a hinged rear access cupboard door which I really wouldn’t be without which opened up greater flex for the R n R bed configuration. This may give people a better option at a smaller cost, than buying the RIB as can put in decent sized plastic storage boxes. By also pulling the Rock n Roll bed onto one of the wider fixing points provides a more angular position for the seat which we find more comfortable and gives more space at the very back too for storage.
    I was one of the people who I think used what is your 1 year warranty…. All I can say is to others is, you were to your word and the issue was sorted quickly and efficiently which I was relieved but also grateful for.

    Single v Double seat you forgot to mention that you can fit a bracket that will angle the double seat for comfort and that there is extra storage u see the double seat. I fitted the bracket and wanted the extra storage. Love the videos 👍🏻

    Can you still open the fridge door when the rock and roll bed is down? Also is there enough room to keep the small portaloo at the end of the bed rather than outside?

    • @HighlifeCampersUK

      Hi Suzanne, thanks for your questions. Yes you can open the fridge door even when the bed is out. We don’t have a cupboard to store a porta potti but it will comfortably fit in the back of the van while you are travelling and we do sell a porta potti storage unit which doubles as a foot stool.

    Thanks for the video, I personally would always prefer the double front seat as I want the ability to carry 5 rather than just 4, the vehicle for me will be a day to day car and 5 seats is so useful plus most teenagers love sitting in the front of the vehicle rather than fighting in the back!
    I like the look of the rib bed over the rock/roll and isn't it possible to get one that slides thus allowing the option of space front or back as you need? Also, don't they have more space underneath so a porta potty can be tucked under?

    Torn between rock n roll and a rib bed tbh, the other thing i do like about a rib is you can adjust the back section to an angle to suit sitting up in bed. 1 queztion i do have Sam, ive seen several vans for sale with motorised / powered sliding passenger side door, does the bulge from the motor interfere at all with the bed systems as it does stick out a bit?

    Great info video Sam 👍🏼 Might take you up on the Porta Potti storage solution! Looks great! 🚽👍🏼
    We have done several trips in our van since collection from you back in April. My wife has mentioned to me countless times that she is so pleased she got the single passenger seat. It wasn’t cheap as you said, but we are so pleased we made that decision.
    We went for the rock and roll bed and have found the storage absolutely fine. You have to pack sensibly but you have to do that with either bed set up and the rock and roll is so easy to use and gives you extra living space in the van so again, definitely the right set-up for us.

      Thanks for your message Ian, we’re glad you are enjoying your camper and you made the right decision with a single seat. Hope you’re both well.

    So, where is the memory foam mattress stored? Couple other things, how does the diesel heater work and what about leisure batteries? How do they work

    • @ianmorris8758
      @ianmorris8758 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have our mattress rolled up and stored behind the R&R bed in the back. Fits a treat. 👍🏼

    • @HighlifeCampersUK
      @HighlifeCampersUK  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The mattress stays in the pop top roof all the time, it’s thin enough to be in the roof even when it’s down. The diesel heater has a dial to turn it on and off and the leisure battery has a control unit to turn it on and off and to operate the lights and running water etc. it’s not very complicated!

      Thanks, being a complete novice, these things I need to know. Alas when you’ve been doing something for ages, the real basics become so natural, for people like me, it’s witchcraft

    Surely the most important question is how do people find £60k to be able to buy one.

    • @HighlifeCampersUK
      @HighlifeCampersUK  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They have worked hard and have the money available , the same as any big purchase. Not everything is affordable to everyone, that would be impossible.

      @@HighlifeCampersUK It's a pity banks only let you borrow 25k over 5 years.
      Have seen some camper companies that let you buy over 10 or 15 years but you end up paying 90k :-(
