- In this video I talk about how we use our VW T6 camper van as a daily drive for work, running the kids to clubs and general day to day stuff! I run you through the things we absolutely love about driving our van and also some of things which are not too keen on!

Really enjoying your videos. I put a deposit down yesterday on my first camper. A VW T5. Myself, my wife and 2 kids are really excited to get started!
That is awesome!
Dream van, wish i had this van very much, a room on wheels. So cool.
I also you my Cali as a daily car. 👍

Hi Stephanie thanks so much for watching! It’s so cool that we have people across the pond watching our content! Thank You!
@@OurVanLifeWithKids here's to Eternal holiday!
These vans don't fit in most European underground carparks due to the height restriction being 1.8m-1.9m while this van with the pop top is about 2m. Not a problem in the US where most carparks are open air. Still, a bit of a brick to drive but better than leaving it parked on your driveway 50 weeks of the year while you use your Toyota or Honda for the day to day.
Totally agree with the bench seat being uncomfortable. We got the bracket and hubby fitted it. Its better. But as soon as we dont need the extra seat we will get a captain chair! When are you getting your new mh?
Hiya. Yep the bench seat is definitely a trade off. Hopefully the MH arrives by September! Thank you for watching!
Hiya, great video. Can i ask where you got the cup holder for the centre consol please?
Helpful thanks. We also use our camper as an everyday van. I think you’ve mentioned this in another vid but can you tell me what you have in the middle headrest holders- some kind of pegs? To hold the back of seat storage I presume? Also what’s the blue stuff on the dash immediately behind the windscreen? Thanks in advance.
Yes we use the pegs to hold in the kids seat tidies. The blue boys you can see are petals from a Hawaiian lay we have between the dash and window. Hope that helps, anything else just let us know Thank you for watching!
Hi folks. I love your videos. Please could you tell me who fitted the bed system on the floor rails? I am about to start on my van conversion and want the bed on an a setup that allows me to have the boot space when required. Kind regards - Jane
Hi Jane…that’s sounds pretty epic! So our fitter is no longer trading unfortunately. But Smart Bed(the manufacturer) will be able to fit it. Our system is the smart bed Evo…thank you for watching!
Just came across your channel as I'm hoping to get a transporter to convert into a camper.How do you find the Automatic is it worth getting over the manual.Cheers
We love the automatic, makes driving a doddle! I could never go make to a manual now
Love the video! Can I ask how much it cost to get the suspension lowered and where you got it done?
Hello, from memory circa £500/600. We had it done via VW as the van was still in warranty. Thank you for watching!
@@OurVanLifeWithKids brilliant thanks!
Diesel prices is killing me.
Interesting video, will you be keeping the t6 once you have the motorhome?
We would love to but it just wouldn’t be economical for us. We’ll need to use the funds to buy the motorhome…unless we win the lottery! Thank you for watching!
@@OurVanLifeWithKids thought that might be the case, will be really interested to see the difference in the use you get. Thanks for the videos
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Hi, how do you find parking your LWB van in a standard parking bay?
Not a problem 90% of the time….really depends on the space though…not all parking spaces are made equal!
Thanks…. Great channel BTW
No probs, thank you for watching!
