Love this! We’ve been wanting a nosey inside your camper 😋 such a cool set up and lots of little storage add ons ☺️

[lynnecahill]

😂🤣 Electric Windows “We’re ballin over here”🤣😂 the two of you crack me up! 🙏🏻✌🏻

You can add cruise control to this van very easily, you just buy the kit for about £200 and fit it in about 30 mins. As your van has factory electric windows it will fit right in. Vans with manual wind windows have to change the body control module also for an electric window model.

Useful video, lots of half-tips and reminders, thanks. We have an 08 Vivaro and actually looks older than yours. We are also off to Switzerland on a long trek and stocking up on food is a really good tip. We only buy coffee in certain countries, example in Portugal where we live coffee is 80-90cents, in France it is €2.50 and I won't pay that. The rest of our stuff comes from LIDL. We have a free standing table which we can use outside too with just a couple of umbrella chairs. I sleep better in the van than I do at home, we also have a R&R bed which is the best and the swivel seat gives so much living space. Never seen a van with so many different storage areas, hats off that you are so well organised. You have a very nice van, see you on the road, as we start travelling next month.

Love the van some great practical ideas enjoy your travel 👍

[kaymaynard]

love seeing full time functional smaller vans!!!

[michelleskidmore]

Hi there we have just bought a t5 and we are in the middle of doing it out can’t to get on the road you guys have giving us loads of ideas cheers

[tik]

Loved the vid. We are thinking about getting a VW Transporter and your build has been really helpful for ideas.

[lisap]

Thats a great little set up. I've bought the vehicle hub too, the customer service has been fab! We were full time in Europe 20 years ago in a T2 bay window with bikes and climbing I have no idea hw we managed in that small space but it was the best time ever. I'm really enjoying your videos, thanks for the snoop around your van 😀

[boatingmanchester]

Do you have a link for that shower you used in the back ? Or the model please

[jimharris]

Hi just found your channel and we are loving watching your videos. Please can I ask were you got your packing cubes my wife really thinks they are a great idea.

[Asha-wwct]

You're such an adorable couple safe travels💛🚌

[kmetriqs]

Hi, that's a very nice seat bed. Does it come with a vehicle or was it bought separately?
What is the size of it?

[neilowen]

Great van tour! I’ve got a T5 too so it’s great to see how you’re using yours. Enjoy your touring! 🤙

[robertsaville]

Such a great setup and good to see different ways of setting up a T5. Don’t suppose you’d consider creating a wee list of all the stuff you’ve bought and from where would you? I’m thinking of the simple stuff like what hooks you use ( for hanging the bags from the roof), the thingies you’ve got to attach the table to the rear inner barn door and suchlike. I’ve seen some guys create an Amazon list for example. Ya know, just something to do when you’re all bored and wondering what to do 😜

[dave_corney]

Hi what mattress did you go for"?

[sitansusekharpanda]

indeed a workable functional setup. Love d movable front seats n folding bed layout...and all of ur storage solutions r great 😍 Regards from India ♥️

[illtudjames]

Great video and setup. Where did you buy the wooden trays above the cab?

[MrDempsi]

Awesome T5 layout, think it's the best one I've seen.

If you got the time to answer a few questions I'd love to read the response, you guys are living my dream.

How/what is the roof extension called, can only find pop tops or low roofs, this is like a fixed foot of headroom on top of van? It looks.like the happy medium between an L1H2 a d a H1.

Don't suppose you know what floor to ceiling height is, inside the van?

Cheers in advance, enjoy the travelling, stay safe!

What a wicked video!! Do you find it easy to live in the van full time? I’ve actually got my apartment and the market and going to move into van life, I was looking at getting a van just like yours. I would be on my own but any advice I would welcome. Just subscribed… all the best. …..Smithy
