Hi Will. Great video as usual. Being a Devonian by birth, i have to tell you that you actually spent the night in the car park below Houndtor not Haytor. (think of the hound of the baskervilles). Anyway, you were very brave, as the infamous Jays grave is just down the road, and legend has it that she roams the roads at night, and has been seen by many motorists. There are always fresh flowers on her grave, but no one knows who puts them there. Prefer your van to the one that were in this video, and was surprised that a new van of this size did not have any toilet facilities. Years ago i had an old Bedford camper which slept 4 and had a shower /toilet , fridge, oven, grill, hot water boiler and a built in gas fire all in a similar size van to this one. Maybe, if you can find one still running, you could try a night in it. Mine was a 1979 model.

My neck of the woods.. ish. I love Dartmoor and my friend lives in Moretonhampstead! I'm about 35-40 minutes away.

Van was lovely, but that noise would def aggravate my hearing... good idea, but needs improvement me thinks... 😊

I would make clear (removable) plastic screens to put over the window netting (same shape) when opening up the pop top windows, to keep the wind and cold levels down in colder weather.

Great video, loving your work. When's your next land rover camping experience going to be? love you

your next vehicle should be a British Army AFV 432, there is a place in the midlands that has them,

That stove is LOUD!!!! Would drive me nuts. Also: Is there any way to regulate the heat down if you need to simmer instead of boil or fry?

I tried to overnight in the New Forest in August last year. It was 3pm so I parked carefully but the next thing - Martin popped up at my window. I called him Creepy Martin. He was very firm about not staying overnight. So I had to find a camp ground. 😂

Me and my mate Dylan were wild camping there this weekend. Dartmoor never gives you two days of weather that are the same. Those wind speeds are a little different in a tent, I must say. Hope you had a good time down there. Keep up the good work with the entertaining videos Will.

Hi Will, that camper van looks smart on the outside, very catchy, still very pricey. It wouldn’t cost that much if you designed it yourself. For that price you would expect a bathroom, don’t think I could sleep with that noisy heater on all night. I wouldn’t live in it. Holiday van only I reckon. Thank you Will, it’s good information to know when looking for an ideal camper van. What to get and what not to get. All the best ✌️🤟🏼👍🥰

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I very much enjoy the quirky camper videos in particular. However, these videos are a refreshing in their own right. Please keep doing what you're doing. Cheers. Also, if you don't cut off the root of the onion and continue cutting up the veg then there's a good chance you won't cry as much as you'd have during your previous videos. Also if you cut it in half and soak the pieces in water then that helps immensely as well.

You should always cook the onion and peppers first as they take the most time

The camper is very minimalistic, but I like the idea that you could possibly still use it as a normal van if you needed to. A bit expensive though. Good video again mate.

Brilliant will 💪

Hi watch your channel everyweek as a family of 4 we have had 2 tents 2 caravans and 2 camper vans and the price of camping on sites now is going up as they like to charge per person as a family of 4 this makes it as cheap sometimes to stay in a cheap hotel chain. The price of hire of camper is also not budget friendly in school holidays everything gose up in price we wild camp and love it so thought at this time of year when families are looking at options and budgets it might be good to !!!!! 1 buy a budget camper 2000 ish use for a week or two and resell and get your money back so essential you get your accommodation for free on resale. 2 hire a box van or similar and kit out with camping gear air beds camp chairs all on budget and wild camp compairing price to camper rental. Im always one for a adventure and to think out of the box the 1st time we slept in our van it was on cushions from couch used a camp stove and loved it so did kids. Now we built our van and have everything ie toilets shower oven fixed beds for 4. If I didn't have it i would defo go try one of these ideas for a budget friendly holiday and when I was younger and didn't have kids still think doing this with friends would have been amazing fun (just an idea)

That heater/hob is pretty kookie.

Will. Just a quick question about where you parked, are you sure that was Haytor out the window and not Hound Tor? 🤔 The reason I ask is the carpark you were in seems to be in the wrong place. If I'm right then you were only 1.5 miles away from Heytor at ( 50°35'56"N 3°46'56"W ) not that it matters that much anyway. 🧐 On the subject of mental health it takes a lot of courage to ask for help and if anyone has an issue with ' Better help ' then think about if it's more important getting the help or not. I'd say getting help is more important. If the video was recorded 18th April then the weather would have been lovely. 😀

Brilliant van, I should know, I've got one, it suits us very well, our hob/heater works very well and is not noisy once warmed up ! Very useful as a daily driver too.

tbf that would be boiling up top in the summer lol

Nice van. But the nicer model you've reviewed is actually £62k Seems like the tank sizes and electrics are fairly basic for the money. I do love your videos though - great presentation

Cyou think that part of Britain you should visit the peak district

The new ones certainly don’t look homey. ❤❤

The whine out of the heater is terrible. Also does the stainless steel top get very hot? I would also be a bit pissed of after paying that money and not really be able to use the main sleeping area in bad weather........ Wouldnt be by first choice at all.
