  • Mack is our 2006 T5 Transporter which was professionally converted when we purchased it in January 2017. We show you around our van and camp set up, including our Vango Driveaway airbeam awning.
    Have a nose around our van with us and subscribe to our channel to follow our family adventures in Mack.
    Enjoy!

We’ve got 2 small children and was wondering if anyone can advise us regarding the pop top please: would a black canvas make it darker inside or does it not make much difference? The one we like has a light grey canvas but anything to help them sleep longer is an advantage! 😂 Thanks x

    • @MackVentures

      Brandon Robinson hi! There are other layouts where there can be a wider full width back seat/ bed and then a kitchen behind the front seats. With that layout you wouldn’t be able to swivel the front seats to face inwards though.
