Brilliant Will, great set up and your living life to the full and it's nice you allow us to join you I look forward to more of these adventures
Omds I clicked on this video so fast been waiting for this
Will how's the mayo not off u need a fridge
I don't think that pee bottle will work for anyone especially if ur black
Will, Hello from the U.S.! Avid outdoorsman and camper with a suggestion. For your heat, have you thought about a small Catalytic propane heater? They are usable indoors, and in confined spaces. They use a 1 pound propane tank and produce excellent heat, and only require a 7.5 Cm fresh air opening. A company called Mr Heater makes one perfect for your Ford. Just a suggestion to check in to. Cheers!
This is so cool! It's like something that Top Gear would make, but it actually works 😂
Haha love that
Will is getting some sponsor's that's really nice
Congrats on 100k and sponsorship 🎉
Thanks 😊 I
395 likes and 0 dislikes. Recon you are doing something right Will. Well done
Cheers mate
I don’t know why anyone would dislike Wills channel, he is epic.
I have pretty much the same setup in my suv, except that it is a no-build: camp cot with plastic bins for storage underneath. Good sleeping bag and a 12v heated throw keep me toasty (above zero, that is)!
Thanks for sharing.
Never slept in my Galaxy but after seeing this, i might just try it. That front seat turning around is also awesome, have to see if mine works like that.
Last week used my very same galaxy as a stealthy camper in Cornwall for the first time and it was fine sleeping on the floor but you went beyond cool! I wish I could do that but most of the time I keep all my carpentry tools at the back
Hey Will, came across your channel a few months ago and now I'm always looking out for when you drop a new vid! Love what you are doing and love your humour😂, you have such a great vibe feels like you are tagging along with a friend(much needed with how everything his at the moment) keep up the good work mate! Congrats on 100k and a sponsor! 😁
Its so nice to see that u started getting sponser. Keep it up buddy.
I always love watching your Videos Will, it’s great to see what can be done with a Ford Galaxy. I can appreciate how much fun it is Sleeping outside. I have a VW Campervan and we look forward to being able to get back out there and enjoy the outdoors life 😎
This is so cool, saw your video when you did the bed as a double. Enjoy your travels and parking night camping. Very entertaining! Thank you, keep the videos coming!!
Aaawww bless it...the Galaxy looked real purdy for its tour 😁👌🤗. Can’t wait to see the pee bottle upgrade Will! In honour of your tour video you’ll be glad to know I burned my fingers on the frying pan while watching 😬😳🔥...it’s a Will’s Whereabouts tradition after all!!
I'm glad I didnt skip through that promo! thats big money saved!
Hi,I recently subbed to your channel and seen some of your videos,great set up of your micro camper.it works very well.
Nice Job! I'm looking at getting a galaxy myself for camping. I'm going with a drive up/tail gate awning myself
This time too...You made me watch till the end....Keep going Will.....watching till the end is our job!
Thanks brother
Another great video and now you are part of the 100k club. Many congratulations will.
Thanks Adrian for your continued support
Brilliant video Will. I think the window cleaner/dryer was the best bit of kit so far. Now you’ve got the big powerbank you could potentially run a 150watt mini fan heater off that, they are designed for small spaces. Yea a Diesel heater maybe taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Most of all, keep safe Will. Rrrrrrrrooooooogggggg. 😀💫
Awesome set up, enjoy your video's!
I always look forward to your new videos. I love how you push it by staying where you might get that knock. I am unable to find the video where you built your current bed. I was really wanted to see it. Sending you happy vibes from the other side of the pond.
Sadly I didn’t make a video on the bed change but it was very easy to do
It's definitely an interesting set-up. It's given me lots of ideas. Here's to some warmer spring camping. Thanks for these videos, Will. They've really lifted my spirits during lockdown.
Fingers crossed for a warm summer and lots of camping
Great video mate keep em coming 👍🏼
So simple and affective great work mate 👍🏻
Love it will,you have everything in that Galaxy mate 😀
Great video will that’s clarified a few things mainly for me your power supply and set up, cheers buddy can’t wait for the next camp 👊😎👊
Thanks matey no problem
Nice vid, keep up the good work 👍🏻😁
Great setup Will 👍🏻 thnx for sharing. I really love your stealth camp video's, the are very entertaining! Keep up the good work. Salute from Amsterdam 👊🏻💯
Respect to you will .nice to feel free
Really good video interesting to see your setup in more detail
Great set up , at this moment in time I’m so depressed .that see you do this makes me feel I’m there. Please keep them coming,and as soon as I can get a set of wheels I will be off, stealth camping, forgetting about what’s going on in the world . And hopefully able to get myself back to normal. Thanks. 🏴🚗🚙👍
Stay strong mate I believe you will can get to a happier place! 💪🏼
I chuckle every time I see the "infamous" electric blanket still on the bed!
Another great and very enjoyable video mate!
😂😂😂😂
So glad i came across your channel. Been catching up the last couple of weeks when work is slow and I LOVE IT
Thanks very much Ruan 😀
@@WillsWhereabouts just saw your video on contemplating getting a bit bigger vehicle. We have the Ford Transit van in South Africa which you should try and look at. England should have the same or similiar type of vehicle. It look like a delivery vehicle so you should have less covering work at night and people should generally ignore you 😄👊
nice set up, to stay warm different layers will do the trick for me, i use in similair situation, thermal socks trouser and shirt on top of that trousers and hoody and when it's really cold i put hand or feetwarmers in my socks, 😉plus multible blankets
No idea why your channel has appeared on my youtube but glad it did. Awesome videos mate.
Hi Will, thank you for all your useful information, happy car camping. Xxx
Happy camping Catherine
Great set up will, as you say all you need now is the diesel heater for next winter, as I'm hoping now we will be going into decent weather from here on in.
My Astra van is basically a double bed, the whole width of the van directly on the floor (No raised frame) and I use cargo nets for storage, works OK though tbf 😊👌
subbed, liked and downloaded pouch through your link. Thanks very much.
Awesome vid as always Will 👌🏼
Great video will. love the show, keep it up pal, hope to see you in Ireland some day. 👍👍🇮🇪
Love the vids Will! Stay safe out there
Awesome setup 👍. Love the videos
You are such a NEAT and a Very organized person 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I like that.
Another great video, glad I stumbled across your channel your videos are great on the mental health in these tough times, take care congrats on 100k!
I just love your videos as can actually imagine doing this in our car. You're spoiling us with 2 in 1 week though! 😁
Killin it bro! Nice one! You’ve crafted your camper into a useful pad
Well done on your 100 K man 😎
This is a very professional looking video, the most professional I've seen on your channel - very impressive! Great to see a sponsor too, will be much needed for all the repairs :)
Haha for sure thanks for watching
You're getting better at editing videos. You have a like from me
Get them sponsors!!! 🤍 love your videos, Will!!!
Thanks Abi
Will... great stuff.... well done for getting the heater... I'm at peace hoping it will be much safer for you... great video... top motor... chill..
Congratulations for 101k
Keep going
Blessings from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Thanks
Nice vid. You could get a dehumidifier if you don't want condensation, you can get low powered USB ones I believe
Nice one Will, very interesting
That's mad iv been saving for a 2011 plus 2.0 ecoboost to do exactly the same thing. Ty
So cool and inspirational!! 💜
I live on a 55’ Narrowboat, have done for 7 years and adore my way of life but I also have a Citroen Picasso Xsara that I’m thinking of converting to a mini camper, rather than paying out for an actual van to convert, as you have done with your Ford. Your Vlog gave me loads of ideas and I can’t wait to get started, so thanks for that. I have now subscribed and will catch up on your other Vlogs. Any further tips would be fab! Happy Travels....🌿
Definitely a better set up than the large bed you had originally, now it's like a good concept to travel in with good functionality
Great video Will, seen many of those scenes already, awesome work editing them so skillfully to make such a smooth running comprehensive tour.
Got my eye on a Kia Sedona which I reckon would make a great setup pretty similar to yours.
01:20 Beyond Possible, thats amazing book bro. Feels good that you also had studied that book.
😀
I use a 12 volt electric blanket on my Leisure battery and it is bloody hot. Has 2 settings, On 1 it uses 1 amp (12 watts) and on 2 it uses 2 amps (24 watts). Highly recommended !!!! Get it on Amazon
Great video 👍
Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers.
I've just bought a converted sprinter and can't wait for lockdown to end
That’s awesome, I’m hoping to do something similar soon
Thanks for the tour Will. Love your handy work Mate, does the job and it works for you. It really is a great little setup and I feel far more at ease now that you have a Jackery Power Station, at least now you can power up any gadgetry you buy (12v Electric Blanket? 😂🤣), for all the future stealth camping you're going to do, without killing your main battery and leisure battery! 😉
For staying warm, have you tried a Mr Heater Buddy or smaller propane heater that you can run for a short time before bed & when you get up? Some have a sensor that shuts them down if there's low oxygen. A lot of campers use them here in the states. There pretty inexpensive.
As I say, you don't mess about! Looking good man. Love the videos. You've had some trials but you're beasting it!! Well done to you!
Looking forward to the drone footage of your travels in the summer.
As always, best wishes:)
New headlight bulbs won't stop that noise. That's coming from the motors that adjust the beam angle. they should trip end stop switches or something to tell the motors to stop but sometimes they break. I had a honda civic that had exactly the same problem. I think they usually spin a blot with a nut attached to the light somehow so as the bolt spins the nut moves up / down and tilts the beam. You should have a knob on the dashboard to adjust the angle of the lights depending on how much weight you've got in the back. If you have a heavy load over the back wheels the front of the car is higher than the back so the lights point up in the air so you can adjust them to the correct angle so you don't dazzle other drivers.
Thanks for the information I’ll look into it
I think this is really creative and a good way to get out in nature
It really is
Really good vid. I would like to do something like this in the future
Great video and editing skills! Will theres a motor behind each headlight to adjust the beams when towing a trailer. Try unplugging the one making the noise!
This is so great, I cannot wait to get my van on the road once lockdown is over! 🚌
Diesel heaters have thermostats mate so you can set the temp. it'll shut off when it's hot and switch back on when the temp drops
I love this camper because I‘m not interested in Camp life and this is just perfect for temporary (stealth) camping. Its also a car that you could use as a daily driver.
Great video...Enjoyed !
Thanks for sharing
Great vid as always and a great setup , only thing I would add is a good first aid kit . Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Cheers Andrew, you’re probably right about the first aid kit
Love your videos! Literally got into your videos randomly.
Your take on car stealth camping is just peaceful and refreshing, one thing for me though is although the drone shots are epic! What's with the instrumental you've used? Seems extremely corny simply because your content doesn't give me jumbosized sugar rush type feels. More adventurous and calming,
Thanks for watching and happy to hear you enjoy the videos
Take it from someone who wildcamps in the Scottish Highlands, invest in a good sleeping bag with a thermal liner It should really help with your sleeping system :)
Looking forward to some real travels!
Really like all these vlogs Will, a really good project, did you not do a video converting from big bed to single enabling inside cooking?
Keep it simple. Nice job 🎈
...nicely put-together video
Great vid Will. How's about installing some foil insulation on your stealth windows that would help to keep the heat in.
Will, wrt staying warm at night, have you tried a usb-powered electric blanket, plugged into one of those little power banks? … maybe just keeping you warm rather than the whole car is enough, and by the time it’s drained the powerbank flat you should be cosy n snoozing xxx
CZcams fed me your Fiat bed build, which I enjoyed.
Looked up Ducato; realized it is what I recognize as Ram Promaster (USA). When you talked about your previous rig being a Ford Galaxy, I was impressed. Imagine my disappointment when I sought out the Galaxy video, and discovered it too is a van (UK), and not the 4-door, ugly sedan that I recall (USA, circa 1980). I was wondering how you could manage sleeping in the back seat.
Anyway, you're a lot of fun, and I need all the distractions I can scrounge up on CZcams to keep me from slitting my wrist every time another Drumpf story hits the news. I subscribed. Good luck.
I can recommend keeping a bottle of Fabreeze in the car, a couple of squirts freshens things up nicely.
Hah for sure
Hi Will...Thanks to your brilliant video's I can now convert my 2003 Ford Galaxy for Stealth Camping....2 Questions please....How wide is the base for your bed and how high is not including the mattress ??........Ive only just found your channel so am slowly catching up on them all.....Stay Safe...............
Looks very cozy! All looks good! Only one thing. You really need a more "safer" fire extinguisher, just in case, you never know. Take care :)
LOOKS GOOD
Great stuff thanks
Love your set up. You have everything you need in a small space and a vehicle that is great for stealth camping. Can’t wait to see what you get up to when the lockdown restrictions are lifted 🙂👍
Thanks Ken, hopefully many more adventures
This type of setup would allow you to bypass any lockdown rubish
Hi mate when convert galaxy and cutting back seat belts off woukd that affect mot, am going to think about doing whatvu did many thanks
Omds I clicked on this video so fast been waiting for this
Love your videos mate
Captains chair makes for a perfect lounge area
Ayee I’m part of that small percent from USA watching you’re videos
Thanks for watching over there 😀
Same.
Same
Check out item 887 5175 in Argos, could be a good replacement for the pee bottle and also any emergency toilet needs, especially with some of the spicy food you cook!!.
Loving the videos!!.
Wonderful!
Morning Will, just a quickie. How many metres of blackout material did you order. In the process of doing mine atm. Great videos and channel.
I tell people that i watch videos about a man sleeping in his Ford Galaxy, they look at me funny. Ill get them to watch this. Love the videos will, keep up the good work!
😂😂😂 this cracked me up Michael! Thanks for watching
You have a reason for that knife.no different to a motor home or trade carry tools in a van. You have a reason for it!!
