Can you please make a video on Registration on the campervan? I have concerns regarding this... If we convert a van into campervan do we need to get the registration certificate updated? What about old vehicles like your Matador ... For how long can we get the registration extended? What are the costs?
Govt of Kerala ,going to Start Caravan tourism named Keravan, where they gona have specified location in tourist spots to park safely and have fun with family and friends
Instead of trying to spend tax payers money on making Caravans and then not using them after a year. It is better our govts understand the true way of increasing tourism. They need to liberalise Caravan licensing and manufacturing. Also educate traffic police on Caravans. Am sure these will make local players own and rent enough number of Caravans to help tourist select from their choice.
@@FirstIndianCamper yes you are right, this is why I don't ride in Kerala because of their traffic police, I think when they see MH registration there might not much issue. Indian government should Liberalize caravan manufacturing or else give the approval to convert the any vehicle to our own idea like in Europe. It's already people started vanlife in India too. I hope government will take action
I am obsessed with this van life and motor home culture and I have watched most of the videos from U.S. & Canada. I was searching for atleast something decent enough in India & came accross your chanel. I found it extremely knowledgeable & entertaining. I am looking forward to more wonderful content form here, keep up the good work.
Discovered your channel Today! Pretty informative video. Thanks !!! My husband's and I began traveling by road in the year 2000 in our beautiful Santro. ( We still have her) The back seats would tumble down to flatten the back , we would put our mattress ( gadda), few bedsheets, pillows and some stuff and go. Used tobe a real adventure trip coz then there were no mobiles, no internet... navigation was through maps( paper/books) and truck drivers !!!! , Many times on map a road was shown and on ground .... It wasn't there !!!!! So when we see nowadays people travelling by road .... It makes us so happy. It's such a fun way to travel . It also makes us aware how things have changed over the years in our country!!!! Then it used to be the local shacks that served the most amazing food and tea .... not the KFC drive through, and the truck drivers of the hilly areas like Manali or leh were the most disciplined and helpful !!!! 👍👍
Wow..... I was in fear to Build a caravan as I saw no one doing it in India or very few, But now getting more confidence watching your videos..... Keep posting man ......
I was scrambling to press the subscribe button when I saw you pull out that chilled beer can.. I've been watching camper videos (indian) for more than two years, but the amount of information I got in this video alone was much much more than all other videos put together.. Kudos for a job well done.. and you've got a new follower on YT as well as IG
Saw this video for the first time, loved the way you presented yourself in the intro. So now you have yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the good work and awesome content,dude. 👌👍.cheers
I am one of those people who loves the idea of overlanding but have never actually thought about it seriously. That said, I love seeing people live that life, learning about it. I would love to learn more about your Matador build. Hoping you have documented it, It would be of great help in knowing what goes on into building one in our country. DIY isnt big here, atleast not as much as it is abroad. A few pointers on the build and planning could go a long way for most of us. Thanks. :)
@@FirstIndianCamper Also, I would love to know more about RTO olbligations, license and paperwork needed. Indian laws arent friendly towards any modifications. So info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again :)
Nothing against caravans.... But I prefer credit card tourism... Going with big car and do eat from hotels. To each their own Anyways, you deserve a sub . So I did
very nice. I was thinking of doing something like this and here I land on your video. UA-cam algo ftw! You people are going to rock this culture in india. Keep up with your beautiful videos 👍
Dhruv, first off, lemme tell ya I loved your video, this has been the first from you I watched - I really appreciate the details you went into. Ya guessed it right, bro... I'm a wannabe camper myself and am building my DIY own camping kit for my - hold your breath - a 2007 Maruti Swift. I've deliberated and designed each component over the past several months and I'm sure the outcome in the next few weeks is going to be oh-so-comfortable for the camping trips I'd be vloggin' when I begin shortly. Great that you're starting a network of camping sites too, buddy. Would love to meet you soon, will drive down to wherever you are in my Swift Camper. Looks like we can hit it off big time when we do - the beer of course, would be on me. So long, keep rockin'!
Hi! I like your content and have subscribed. I really appreciate the fact that someone in India is finally deciding to tap into this sector and create content for it. I wish you all the best, and to let you know that I intend going full time into fabrication, so being part of your channel is definitely a plus!
Look man you're giving exactly what i was looking for...As of now I'm struggling in Public Sector (Banker) But finally found you and your channel that I'm thankful for I'm going to make my own DIY Caravan and will be connecting with you soon...till then I'll be supporting
I have been watching such camper van life videos & mostly they are from other countries. I loved your video & it was a very detailed one and got to know more. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing more videos and hopefully the TROOP STOP 👍 is a success in India, coz i feel safety concern is lot here than abroad. I don't know when will I start a DIY camper, but maybe sooner than thought😁
Very interestoing and helpful guidelines. I am a retired person and ofcourse my husband too. We are from Trivandrum. Would like to hear more from you for seniors who love travelling. We can afford upto 20 lakhs.. Kindly suggest best options.
Im really impressed and happy to find indian brother with same dream. I was always looking for someone who would make a video like this. Keep it up mate 👍
Hi, Loved your matador and the way you spoke through the availabilities we have in India for motorhomes. would love to connect with you for troop stop concept. I have been wondering ways on the similar lines.
lots of love n blessings for you....and a big thanks for sharing n stating this in our country. In future I would like to join your company for supporting.
Wow it's an amazing thing which you are doing. Thank you for this really good content. I am fan of tiny house so if in case I get adjusted or comfortable with Caravan I can think about building and having tiny house, thank you once again
I just viewed your video and you have kept ur message intelligible with detailed explanation. Ur matador convertion is outstanding 👍👌 if possible, please give me a bit more detail video on Ur matador convertion
Thank you for the appreciation. I intent to do a video on my vehicle soon. Please subscribe so when i post the video u get it. PS : I dont post a lot of videos so dont worry i wont spam ur youtube..
"First Indian Camper" ....well that's debatable, there were a lot of people camping and leading a nomadic life in the early 70's and 80's too. For instance, My dad used to own a Matador in 1990 and my whole family used to travel in it long distances during our summer vacation and we used to put bedding in the back for us to sleep in it and mom used to pack some essential food items and also a kerosene gas stove so we could cook if the need arose, because in those days there were not many hotels around, and i was maybe around 4-5 years old then. So maybe you should change the channel name to "First Indian Camper on UA-cam"... 👍👍👍
Loved reading this comment. 50 years down the line when i sit with my grand kids and tell them i was first indian camper, they would believe me and would feel proud. The reason : A lot of folks couldnt document their journey.
@@FirstIndianCamper and 50 years down the line i would again comment on your video, so that your grandkids would know that there were campers way before their grandpa was even born and in no way he is the first Indian Camper. Maybe the First Indian Camper on "UA-cam", but most definitely not the First Indian Camper... 👍👍👍👍 For your convenience, i have actually forwarded your comment and your video to a couple of uncles from that era who used to own cameras and matador campers, and who have taken lots of still pictures. I have asked them to send me those pictures, so that i can send those pictures to you on instagram, so that you can upload those onto your youtube channel and let people know, that even though people weren't able to document and vlog their journeys, there were people camping way back in the 70's and 80's too. And that you are in no way the "First Indian Camper". Yes maybe you are the "First Indian Camping vlogger on UA-cam"... 👍👍👍
@@FirstIndianCamper I will scour heaven and earth to get those pictures and send them to you, and also send them to other Indian moto vloggers and campers on youtube, so that if you decide to not publish those pics, atleast they will publish them and i can die peacefully, knowing the fact that the original campers of India could finally get recognition. Infact i'll have them record a small video, if possible, narrating about their experience, so that you don't think those pics are fake or photoshopped. 👍👍👍
Iam owning triber ...Recently we went to karnataka from vsp we driven 3760 kms in Triber ..Road trip ..Organised well but ..Making as caravan ..Is thought ...Will see
I have a palio stile sports 1600 CC in Pune, I am moving back to India in Jan and planning to throw out the back seats of the palio and put some sleeping arrangement. I am bringing all sorts of super light and super tiny camping stuff from here, so I can live out of the car while offroading if needed, or I can park it at someone's compound at offbeat location with their permission. Don't want to spend on makeovers now cause I have a shoe string budget , as I don't plan to work after I go back.just want to enjoy nature where it's possible for the palio to make it.
Thank you so much for the suggestions. It was so elaborate. Please suggest if it's ok to go out camping with a pet. I have a Labrador. And I love to travel, but I don't want to leave my child in a creche or with anybody else.
Oh yes. Pets love camping, thats their natural habitat. Trust me your Lab would love it. Just make sure he is on leash while sleeping outside ur tent at night. Also make sure the locatin isnt prone to wild beasts...
Bro, you did a fabulous job on your Matador. It looks like a VW camper. My only suggestion would be to put a long vintage seat upfront. If you ever drive to Guwahati, let me know. Cheers!
Even if you succeed in building 300 camp sites by Sept 2022, I will convert my car into a camper for sure and I will come to meet you with 2 cartons of Amstel.
Hi Dhruv, chanced upon your video while looking for stuff on camper Van's. You have motivated me to a great extent to pursue van life. Would love to connect with you some day in near future.
I need to known two things. 1 Any automatic optuon in mini bus category. 2 Yours thoughts on trailer and options, driving safety and turning that one hills..Regards Supr
Hi, Just subscribed. Finally got a channel that is informative. If possible would like to get involved closely with you and the community you are trying to build. I am just getting started at the idea of owning a camping vehicle.
Good and helpful information, however, regarding best suitable and economical vehicle to convert into Camper Van would be Cargo tempo traveller, in reality it's much efficient, economical and practical terms to make into customised caravan, Force guys may have thier point in promoting Traveller(with seats) since it will improve their sale & profit more(considering road tax is paid on per seat basis if used commercially, not sure if there is scope of registering Cargo as personal vehicle? ) But according to reginal state RTO rules.. Cargo vans are already used to make and register as Camper Van in India.. wish you all best of luck
When I think about building a camper van, the first vehicle comes in my mind is matador...! when you think about going off the grid I think Gypsy is one of the best option....! In overland category I think you missed Scorpio Getaway.....!
I own both Matador and Gypsy. Yes Scorpio Getaway is another option however couldn't accommodate in the video to save time as its not seen often in the streets.

My husband's and I began traveling by road in the year 2000 in our beautiful Santro. ( We still have her) The back seats would tumble down to flatten the back , we would put our mattress ( gadda), few bedsheets, pillows and some stuff and go.
Used tobe a real adventure trip coz then there were no mobiles, no internet... navigation was through maps( paper/books) and truck drivers !!!! ,
Many times on map a road was shown and on ground .... It wasn't there !!!!!
So when we see nowadays people travelling by road .... It makes us so happy. It's such a fun way to travel .
It also makes us aware how things have changed over the years in our country!!!!
Then it used to be the local shacks that served the most amazing food and tea .... not the KFC drive through, and the truck drivers of the hilly areas like Manali or leh were the most disciplined and helpful !!!!

Hi Dhruv, chanced upon your video while looking for stuff on camper Van's. You have motivated me to a great extent to pursue van life. Would love to connect with you some day in near future.
It would be my pleasure
I need to known two things. 1 Any automatic optuon in mini bus category. 2 Yours thoughts on trailer and options, driving safety and turning that one hills..Regards Supr
Hiace is automatic. Trailers are difficult to manuever and manage.
Bro i liked you video, but in all these, if you need to setup your caravan off the road ,we need a 4×4 . Caravan with 4×4 setup is really good
yeah right, not much options though
@@FirstIndianCamper how about converting pickups into caravan.. like the new tata yodha 4×4
@@vijaymuthu7751 Excellent choice
Very good information. Thank you
Waiting for your second video of the series.
Soon mate, i would be releasing of first overlander trip of india
Very nice video very informative on camping
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi, Just subscribed. Finally got a channel that is informative. If possible would like to get involved closely with you and the community you are trying to build. I am just getting started at the idea of owning a camping vehicle.
For sure , connect with me on Instagram for a one on one chat : First Indian Camper
Awesomeness uncompromised.
Wow, awesome comment
A good video...thank you for valuable information
Thank you so much.
Great job buddy 👍😃
Good and helpful information, however, regarding best suitable and economical vehicle to convert into Camper Van would be Cargo tempo traveller, in reality it's much efficient, economical and practical terms to make into customised caravan, Force guys may have thier point in promoting Traveller(with seats) since it will improve their sale & profit more(considering road tax is paid on per seat basis if used commercially, not sure if there is scope of registering Cargo as personal vehicle? ) But according to reginal state RTO rules.. Cargo vans are already used to make and register as Camper Van in India.. wish you all best of luck
Very well explained and good analysis.
When I think about building a camper van, the first vehicle comes in my mind is matador...!
when you think about going off the grid I think Gypsy is one of the best option....!
In overland category I think you missed Scorpio Getaway.....!
I own both Matador and Gypsy. Yes Scorpio Getaway is another option however couldn't accommodate in the video to save time as its not seen often in the streets.
It's true, very few getaways are seen on the road....!
Toyota qualis .. excellent car.. good space and higly reliable .. you can also go for a TATA Safari.. remove the seats and convert it to Caravan .
Yes I agree
Informative, thanks.
