A full tour of my Ford Transit Custom Camper Van. I show every part of the campervan from the solar panel, to the RIB bed and the diesel heater. This is not a self build camper van, I paid a company to do the conversion, but there were a lot of problems along the way. I will not be doing full time vanlife, instead I will be working from the camper as I travel around creating content and photographing landscapes. So rather than a tiny home on wheels, this will be my tiny office.

    Mr. Heaton, you have done me a great favor. My wife saw my wheels turning as I watched this video. In order to preemptively thwart my future camper van, she signed off on purchasing a camper cover for my truck. I’d have never gotten the approval without you, so thank you sir!
  • @claudec2588
    Excellent video. When you first talked about traveling around in a camper van security was my first thought. You answered those questions. Thank-You. Oh and of course. Congratulations!
  • @BenHorne
    You're really making me want to have a van like that!! Despite the delays, it sure turned out nice!
  • @lamkaz810
    You feel blessed to have this van but really you worked darn hard for it...so congratulations on the spoils of good clean hard work! 😊
  • @seantuck
    Congrats Thomas. Looks amazing! Hope it opens up new adventures for you.
  • @SeedubsMedia
    Actually felt pleasantly happy for you. You have worked hard and deserve it.

    I'm 19, haven't bought my first car yet and have never been particularly interested in camper-vans, and yet, I watched this video entirely with a smile on my face. It's just so damn cool.

    Great video Thomas. My wife and I are heading out tomorrow to find out about camper conversions. We are determined after seeing this to get one. Many thanks for the info and congratulations on your achievement. Been following you for a long time now and your vlogs just continue to improve. Best wishes and keep up the good work 👍
  • Congrats on fulfilling your dream! You seem really proud and happy. Safe travels, good luck and good light 😉
  • watching the video 4 years later and having seen the new campervan I can see the "seeds " of the future experience. Really nice to see
  • @mihneatatu
    That last part with come and see me, almost had me crying, it was clear that it means so much to you, and it's like you would be able to thank to the people that helped you make it happen, altough, as much as you mean it, it really is your work and talent that made it happen, not us ! Have great times with it, and no further problems with it !
  • @glynjones1582
    If you getting the van is down to us subscribers, does that mean we can borrow it for the weekend? Seriously, it looks tremendous and your attention to detail has given you a great living/working space. Looking forward to seeing your adventures
  • One of the best presentations of camper vans I've ever seen. The way you blended the description of the features with the utility for you was really well done. Good luck with your professional adventures.
  • Congrats mate! It looks like an incredible amount of work and thought has gone into that - I’ve no doubt it’ll provide us all with more great entertainment and images 👍🏼
  • @raphaelfyi
    Bit jealous now 😄 I'm happy that your van is finally ready for adventures!
  • @FrenchieSmalls
    The appreciation at the end made me smile! I'm glad that we could help you get the van of your dreams, and we're really looking forward to the fantastic images it will help you make that you might not have been able to get without it.
