Testing this VW Transporter Camper Van that is NOT the same as the others.
We all have different use purposes and tastes, this could be the one for you.
What do you think?
For a campervan we need to beable to travel, eat and sleep this is a different way of doing it.
How can you sleep 6 people in a VW Transporter?

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 is removable, TV's on headrests.
Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Vanlife is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
There are many great camper adventures to come

Iv Been watching your videos since they started and the more i watched the more i wanted the out door life , im 45 now and days in the pub are well and truly over . I picked up my first transporter this weekend, 150bhp kombi t6.1 in indium grey in mint condition and i absolutely love it . Your videos have been so helpful the slide pod is perfect for what i need . Cant wait to get back down south.

What a lovely comment. Means a lot, thank you. The outdoor life is great, even better when it’s sunny 😀 Simple things like pulling up somewhere, sitting watching the sunset with a coffee. Going out and getting wet and muddy, knowing you can come back to a warm van, get food and drink and not worry about getting your nice car dirty and not having room to do things in it. Give the guys a call, they are really friendly and certainly know their vans

@Ragorar 4 месяца назад

Welcome to the club!! You’ll see that with a van you can live adventures anytime!

Sorry but i dont know your name but i will say hello anyway, i have a van haven built swamper kombi camper and for the last 2 years and 25,000 miles its been fantastic. I have had van haven heavily modify the van ,swivel seats seat electric , Solar panels, fiamma 45s awning and so on .we have a Forty Winks full width bed and its brilliant its so comfortable but we are now looking to make more of the interior space, a sliding seating bench seat that folds to make a bed ,plus slimline cabinets with double burner and sink ,i still want to use both the swivel front seats so i want part of the front cabinet to be floating so i can swing my legs under it . Still thinking about the pop top as van haven do a extremely low height carbon fibre pop top. This could be my next option. Just need to get my next Ireland trip out of the way then get the van back into van haven for more upgrades 🤟

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Hi Shane, I’m Steve. I’ve seen your van and would love to see it in the flesh sometime. Are Van Haven going to do the camper conversion?

@lovevans911 4 месяца назад

Sounds expensive. Get a proper “camper” converter to do camper aspect who are qualified. That’s a lot of money to go up in smoke if something goes wrong

@shanewaller2864 4 месяца назад

Hi steve great to chat to you ,yes Van Haven are now building camper vans ,we are going to van haven in just over 3 weeks time to have a discussion about what we can do to our interior of our kombi, its been great but I want know to give it a bit more of a camper feel. Looking forward to bumping into you at a show at some point. Van haven will be having an open day in the not so distant future when they open their new premises. Might be worth a call to find out when it is and pop down and shoot a separate video keep up the great work love your videos 🤟

@Ragorar 4 месяца назад

These builds are very common in Spain but with the weather we have in Ireland… I don’t see it 😅

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Our weather is not quite the same 🤣 A tailgate awning is the answer

@Billywhizz-bl7yj 4 месяца назад

What a stupid idea, so you cook outside for the family in the pissing rain and pass the food through, when finished you have to get more wet walking round to get back into the camper, you may as well get a tent you'll have more protection.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Totally understand your point, but many will disagree, as this and other similar setups sell very well. A simple tailgate awning/porch can provide shelter and a sleeping/storage area.

@stevezodiac491 4 месяца назад

I think that the best combo is a 4 berth fixed bed caravan and a campervan with a tow bar on it. The most flexible combination of any camper set up.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

That would be a versatile setup and certainly one my family would approve 👍🏼

@hughdrummond6843 4 месяца назад

Excellent campsite you were on there at Harford Bridge will be going back some point this year we stayed last year always loved Dartmoor . Good alternative that pod for Kombi users though we are traditional layout camper but if I had a choice again I would go U shaped layout.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

It is a nice site and a good base for the moors. U shaped are becoming more popular. I still can’t decide what I would like. I change my mind all the time 😀

@steveyJet 4 месяца назад

How do you easily get to the storage space behind the slide pod if it’s a Kombi set up? We currently have a Kombi with a forty-winks type bed set up with all the useable space underneath with a pop-top, wind out awning and a drive away awning and cook outside using existing camping gear. Works well enough for us, but have considered some sort of slide out unit.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Get to it easiest from the sliding doors. Drop the seat and access that way. It’s another option, they won’t suit everyone. Some don’t like awnings, but I my kids love it

@sherbee8438 3 месяца назад

Would have been better to see the inside of the van

@kiteless1 4 месяца назад

Always like seeing alternatives to the classic cramped R&R bed and side kitchen layout, don't want to be cooking smelly, spattery food inside the van! I'm liking the Flatout camper beds at the moment, have seen them paired with a slim passenger side unit for storage and fridge which would work well in a kombi. Bed flips up out of the way so loads of room for bikes or whatever else you want to carry.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

It’s surprising how many people won’t cook in their van for the smelly reason 🤷🏻‍♂️ Yes I seen them, it’s another option

@IronMountainx 4 месяца назад

After 40 years of campervaning and having owned many different vans from brand new to basic cheap self conversions of all different layouts its clear to me why the traditional side conversion has been omnipresent for decades, it just works particularly in the UK and Europe.

@StaycationLifestyle 3 месяца назад

It does work, for many and will continue to do so, it more and more are turning to the multipurpose layout like this. Different circumstances dictate

@neilmick6778 4 месяца назад

Fine until it rains

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Tailgate awning is the answer to that. Small and lightweight, I should have mentioned it, but I didn’t need to put it up as the weather was so nice.

@williamclark3572 4 месяца назад

We love our hot water system in our van. Great for washing up and quick shower.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

It’s definitely worth having if space allows. That said, it’s dependent on the buyer. If someone is only ever going to stay on serviced sites, then it’s not as important

@lovevans911 4 месяца назад

Seen quite a few of these around. Good alternative

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

@user-bg8wo2pi8u 4 месяца назад

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Either a powered portable fridge for long trips or if 2 or 3 days, a Yeti cool box or similar.

@StaycationLifestyle 3 месяца назад

Brilliant. Which system is it?

@_bav 3 месяца назад

@@StaycationLifestyle It's a Fohen Furnas system with a carbon & phosphate filter. The tap drain meant we had no use for a sink and we also forewent a gas hob in favour of a portable induction hob, leaving a much larger worktop for food prep.

@leewalker9008 4 месяца назад

Really good system but not worth £4000+ Now if it was £1000 id buy.

@StaycationLifestyle 4 месяца назад

Components alone will be more than 1k. You could perhaps buy the bed, without anything else for 1k, like other brands systems. Other brands with similar products have similar prices. It may seem a lot, but there is a lot going on. You see the pod, but there is all the rail system, aluminium supports, electrics, gas, pumps, fixings/ hardware and the phenolic ply itself which isn’t cheap.

@leewalker9008 4 месяца назад

@@StaycationLifestyle friend built a kitchen camping chuck box (similar needs) and even better as you can take it to where you are paddleboarding. Made it for a few hundred £

Hey, it's great to see a review of Slidpod. I got my van converted by them in early 2020 but mine was the rib bed pod and I've been using it ever since. It's a brilliantly built piece of kit and it still looks brand new. I even toured Scotland in the van for two weeks and cooked on the Slidpod the whole time, no matter what the weather was like. Now that we have two kids, it's still perfect for day use and holidays in the van.🤟
