Campervan Market Insights & Top Gadget Discussion - Fire Pit Campervan Conversations
Wind and Rain prevented the fire pit making an appearance, but we still had a campervan conversation.
This week I am talking to Dean from Titan Transporters. A business based in South Devon, specialising in vans such as VW Transporter, Van, Kombi, Caravelle and Campervan. We touch on their history within the video.
We discuss the current market situation, are prices of vans falling, what is happening.
Dean shows me his favourite gadget and tries to change my mind on my personal views on them, plus I also show a purchase of mine I recently made, that i could live to regret !!!!
Should I try it out or just hang it in my van?
NEW SERIES - I need your feedback (please be nice and constructive)
This is the first of my Fire Pit Campervan Conversations and it will be a learning curve.
I am trying to bring interesting topics for discussion so you can gain benefit, learn or hopefully with the right guests be entertained.
I have several planned, with some interesting guests to pass on their knowledge and help us all with our campervan lifestyle.
Guests will be bringing their favourite gadgets to discuss and I will also have a product each week to discuss.
These will develop over time and even after the first one, I have already thought of changes to make to improve for all.

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 for me is just beginning, it's a great adventure and I'm loving it. 😍
There are many great camper adventures to come

Really good. I think there’s some mileage in this series!! Great stuff!

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. Certainly hope so. Have lots planned, so will see how it goes and take constructive feedback on board. I appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍🏼

@cjs5790 11 месяцев назад

Brilliant format, entertaining but helpful from someone ‘in the know’. The rapport you build up makes for an engaging and informative listen. So looking forward to more in the series. Hoping you’re on the mend, take care.

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. It’s not easy as even the most bubbly, witty, confident people who can be great to have a laugh with, can become a different person with cameras on. Still learning the best setup myself, but this worked well for my first one. Might get more tricky when I introduce multiple guests 🤞🏼

@paulbrook2459 11 месяцев назад

I’ve owned a high spec transit and I know they are popular but they do not compare with a transporter ! Golf or escort ? I’ve really enjoyed your discussion, keep up the good work 👍👍

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. It sure will be interesting to see the new variant. I have to say Escort, due to the fact I was big into rallying in the 90’s, therefore loved the Cosworth. Always said one day I would own one, but have no chance of that now, far too much money

@salponzful 11 месяцев назад

Recently discovered your channel. Really helpful. We are looking to get out first camper (probably 5.1) do any info on what to look out for when buying one and how to convert myself, order in which to do things, detailed info on each part of the upgrade, etc.

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

Hi and thank you. I did do a few videos on some aspects (the conversion), however in the next few weeks, there will be a video on exactly this (both aspects)

@antonybailey8939 11 месяцев назад

Regarding the difference between a panel van and a kombi ,once the flooring from a kombi goes in and original kombi seats and seat belts, windows ,what is the difference ?

@Filmchippy 5 месяцев назад

Not a lot , even though in this video they seem to suggest the panel van to kombi conversion isn't as good as factory. The only extra bit à factory one has is behind the rear bumper there's a plastic reinforcing structure and the factory Kombi is steel. Guessing because you'll have passengers in the back.

@williamrobson7094 11 месяцев назад

Great watch Steve, are there any other easy differences to differentiate between a panel van and a combi van, I know you mentioned the window. Are you coming up the Hawthorns with the Green army on October 21st?

@eddt430 11 месяцев назад

😂 We converted our long nose T4 velle 13 years ago. So glad we went for a velle so much better than the panel van. Air con and feels like a car to drive. The biggest expense was the rib bed and poptop.. The best thing we've ever done. Our children have grown up with him. All in for about 20k. It baffles me where they get 60k from.

@chunkyfxdls1878 7 месяцев назад

Hi, is your T4 velle classed as a mpv (car) with higher tax as it’s not van (commercial)?? Thanks

@user-it5sj6eo1m 11 месяцев назад

Great content has usual,, just starting going down the road converting a T5 shuttle in to camper doing a fair bit myself to keep price down, can you recommend a company in the south west that will look after me in doing the stuff that’s best left to the professionals instead of ripping me off , would really appreciate any recommendations.

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

What work do you need doing and where roughly are you based?

@user-it5sj6eo1m 11 месяцев назад

@@StaycationLifestyle hi thanks for getting back to me , I’m in South Brent , like I said converting a shuttle, so I need the original rear windows removed and replaced has they are fixed and I wanted sliders which I’ve already purchased , then it will be on to pop top & carpet lining to start with.

@wandango5913 11 месяцев назад

Great format, why don’t the doors shut like a Volkswagen @2:42.? Is it just the extra rubber seal? Hope you’re getting better ❤️‍🩹

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

It dates back a few years to the “Sounds like a golf advert” It was a suggestion to the high quality German engineering of a Volkswagen. Regarding the Transporter, this is indeed improved by the additional rubber seal, but also sound deadening in the doors.

@wandango5913 11 месяцев назад

@@StaycationLifestyle I remember the sounds like a golf ads, my Caravelle with the sound deadening and factory fitted extra rubber door seal

@StaycationLifestyle 11 месяцев назад

@@wandango5913 I do love a nice Caravelle, better seats, electric doors, better dash etc etc.

@Titantransporters 11 месяцев назад

Great question - hope this answers the question, Volkswagen were the market leader at the time when they invested in laser line welding in their manufacture. The way to describe this is look at most cars and along the roof you see two plastic trims this covers where the roof is spot welded to the side and top Of the car. Volkswagen create a continuous long laser weld completely sealing the roof in. If you replicate this in the entire build process you end up with an almost air tight cabin. Yes the good quality rubber seals play a huge part at Steve mentioned.

@andymcroxford 11 месяцев назад

Interesting take on things. The new transit looks cool so with a VW design I think it will be ‘the’ van to have. Ford are also doing the ‘trail’ which is screaming out ‘swamper! Think all diesel will be going wet belt due to performance and economy. You’ll hear horror stories if you google it but in context …it’s the highest selling van by a country mile (highest selling actual vehicle in 22) think there were some recalls 2019 and the belt part no has changed so presumably upgraded.
