    Whoever built that camper needs to review his/her build. The bed is better with the base installed just above the wheelarch. This allows full sittingbheadroom. Also, pulling the seat forward, as you have, allows for an extension to be fitted to the end of the bed allowing over 6 feet tall people to sleep in comfort. How do I know this? It’s what I did in mine and I had a 3 week holiday in Italy in mine.

  • @pdicko4573

    Inspired by the horses in this video Will, as a suggestion, how about camping in a traditional traveller caravan, pulled by a horse? They are lovely things and at one time, whole families lived in them. Thanks for the series by the way, it was great.

    Hi Will, great to see you again, that was a cute van camp, a little small for me, I have a high top transit connect van, I can sit up in it without hitting my head, thankfully, I guess it was just like sleeping in the Galaxy you had. I really enjoyed season 1 and I can’t wait for season 2. Mary needs you to, she must be feeling a little neglected, Thank you Will, I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed these types of videos to. All the best to you and Mary and well done to the cameraman for filming everything perfectly. ✌️🤟🏼👍xx

    Another awesome video as usual. This is a similar setup to my '98 Toyota Estima but I'm only 5'4" so I don't find it quite as bad. I do have an awning that I can put on the side or back of the vehicle, which helps create more living space. I have found that most people with vehicles like this tend to live more outside than in. You are one brave man. I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos and I can't wait to see the next series.

    I have the same dub. Old painters wagon that I've recently converted and fits all 5'10 of me in for a night or two. Predominantly used more to wakeboard. So I can throw all my kit outside on the campsite and then I have enough room. As you do Will- love the stealth of it and the fact that it's easily manoeuvrable. Great video!

    See if you can get hold of one of the old style Citreon Picasso's with the removable rear seats and the flat bed floor. I used to have one and did most of the Wainwrights camping in that. It was litterally an inflatable bed in the back with a duvet and pillows. I mainly went onto campsites and took a stove a chair and a table etc but also did some wild camps in it. Not at all stealthy as everyone could see through the windows as I had no blinds etc but it worked and I am 6 foot. I used to love camping in that thing simplistic as it was.

    I didn't realise the Caddy was so low! I thought you could sit up in it
