Self-Converted 1982 VW T3 Westfalia for Full-Time Vanlife | Van Tour 2.0

Meet Vance, our 1982 VW T3! With a pull-out kitchen, pop top, hidden closets and seemingly endless underbed storage, we fitted Vance out to make him the ultimate vintage campervan.

We hope you like him just as much as we do! Apologies in advance for the wind – classic South Australia ;)

What a brilliant layout. Absolutely ingenious, comfortable, and it looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I've heard "sick as" but never "solid as". Love it

[lesbrooks]

A brilliant rebuild, you should be proud of your achievement, enjoy and safe travels 😀

Sensational upgrade of Vance. You certainly gave this ‘new’ conversion a lot of thought and planning and it has really paid off.
From the extra space you have created to the quality of the ‘modern’ look build, you have done a fabulous job!
Loved also the explanations of WHY you made certain changes and then the benefits the changes have made for you!
Well it!!!

Defenitely the best mini van layout i have ever found on youtube not only easthetically pleasing but very functional 💕 you've outdone micro camper, and maybe if i would have a tiny van i would love to incorporate most of your design and layout and add some family camper touch ups hoping to fit at least 3 human in a tiny van 😄, coz tiny campervan are the best its easy to park anytime anywhere specially when your doing stealth camping i guess 💕

Well done with optimising your limited space! I've watched hundreds of van life videos, and these days sometimes I'll get one or maybe two tips, but I've written down SEVEN from your rebuild. Thanks so much for sharing!! Good value.

This is like my dream car. I have always wanted one and now I can’t stop watching your videos

By far the best van I've seen so far dudes. You've utilised the space you have so spot on

Just bought a 91 Hi Ace van that I am going to convert into a camper. Your video has provided me with a lot of inspiration. Cheers.

That's an awesome job achieved under far less than desirable circumstances. It's a testament to your ingenuity and tenacity. Congratulations. Hope you both have a wonderful and memorable Festive Season, take care, and all the very best for your adventures in the New Year, Cheers.

Love the renovations you did for your Van! You’ve got a great set up.
Kendall, would you do a wardrobe tour? What I’ve seen you wear on Insta seems to be mostly sustainably focused Australian brands and I’m really interested. You have lovely taste 😊
