What an interesting fabrication this is! Irrespective of one's personal taste regarding the interior ((like the fixed, low roof) the engineering and fabrication are very neat, and the exterior finish is gorgeous. The ergonomics are good and the children have their own fixed beds, something they wouldn't have in a regular Transporter. For those that say that it's too small, they miss the point that this is exactly what the builder and family wanted, so if they want it different, build it and show it to Channel 4 and see if it makes the cut! Well done to the featured builder and family, your rig is gorgeous!

In the USA those are called 5th wheel trailers, he did a great job of transforming the junk van into a RV

Just love it, you can't help yourself when it comes to "do it yourself" projects ! It's a great looker inside and outside. Driving down the road in this machine must be a great feeling of accomplishment. Bravo again, oh did I mention that I just love it ?

I live on the same road as this fella, 😂 and it sure does turn heads

He's done all that and still got the same a mount of room lol

wasn't about space tbh, I could have put a poptop on it if I needed space. I was originally going to buy a 26ft trailer but this was to recycle and the trailer can be stored on the drive rather than pay 2k a year for a site.

If he extended the van perhaps another panel with it may be worth it but like most comments he’s only got as much space as a normal t4

i have no idea what a new caravan costs, but at the end of the day he has created what he wanted on the budget he had available to himself. Well done him. Neighbours must appreciate not having a vehicle scrap yard on the driveway as well. Obviously he could have made it bigger, but presumably not within the funds available to him.

I wouldn't say it's the best , there is a guy in uk got a camper van t5 and he has a trailer that he towes which is a converted camper , so he has 2 living spaces

Unique toy, but for but its unique for good reasons. He didn't really think about the practicalities. Hgv limitations with miniscule vw space.

The two biggest advantages are having proper belted seats for travelling and being able to leave the living area on site. If the kids get into hobbies like mountain biking or kayaking you could build a cargo unit from another van.

Id of got another one and put 2 together but still nicely done

This guy needs to get this set up as a business start up charging people to build custom ones for them then when hes built enough start selling them as completes

I always love to see the transformations in this programme and this guy has an amazing talent , but to me it's still a bit too cramped. For a couple on their own it's great, but for a family it just doesn't seem big enough. I know that's the point but the kids are going to grow and they'll need more space as they grow bigger, plus think about those rainy days all the family tucked away in here. It's a shame they couldn't have made some kind of extension. Or could they have just got a cheaper caravan and transform it then?

My neighbour used to have a split screen vw camper and a vw beetle body as a trailer . All painted red and cream and it looked amazing . I like the truck on this but the trailer looks pretty naff to me .

it would be interesting to find out which insurance company insured this conversion

Nice!👌👍

It's cool, but very very small.

So many negative comments. It's different and sure as hell better than towing a white fiberglass box.

But a fiberglass box is bigger than this.

It looks cool I have to say but the B+E combination concept already exists for over 15 years in the Netherlands !!

As evil boxes of plastic death go this is pretty cool. I know it’s metal but it’s the same concept. Still only the same space as in a t4 or t5 tho

Not alot of room tho. Considering you have 2 transporters

Wow,

Stunning build just not road legal these days sadly.

Unfortunately still a tiny vw transporter

An interesting idea........not one I'll be following up on though.

I wonder if all those mods are declared to the insurer?

Wish I had that much spare cash

George and his favourite word "un-believable!" lol....Certainly different this build, not sure there is any more space than if it was just a bog standard camper van. I guess at least you could leave the living part of the van at the site and drive off if you need to go shopping for supplies etc.
