I think that it would be handy for a Friday CC as you can get to a park up nice and early going the opposite way from the London bound flow and it means that as soon as you log off you are free instead of Friday nights traffic battle to get away, I know that you have suffered from this in the past. It also means that later in the year you have more exploring time as the nights draw in. The porta potti is like the AA, handy to have in an emergency. Especially when a bottle is not what you need.
Now this is a good idea dude - I so want to go essex side, but whenever I see the traffic, I’m like “nope”. And you all know how much I love my Porta potti ❤️
Have you managed a work from the car day yet. All this beautiful weather is coming up next week. I can just imagine you, parked up on the driveway, laptop to hand, coffee , and a sneeky beer cooling on the side.
You know what is rather gutting - no sooner do I make this vid, our whole team has been called back to operational work …. So looks like we are heading back to offices for a bit 😝
Great idea.. start out working from the drive. And don't be like me, clumsy, I've spent most of today discovering just how far a knocked over cup of hot chocolate can go.. 😂
Haha love it dude. Soooooo wish i had a remote job like that, so full time vanlife could happen. Great video. Look forward to seeing how it works for you buddy.
It’s funny, I never used to like working from home when I could, but I must say I have adapted to this life very well. And the fact that I’m saving a good few hundred a month in petrol is rather awesome too ❤️🚗 (I only started filming this today at 12.30pm - 5.5 hr turnaround is a new record for me 😂)
Cool..im looking forward to learning how well it goes with this new layout in use. I did consider taking my middle row out but then i heard that if you do you have to tell your insurance as an ammendment and thats just not an option for me. Admin alone is 40 then any changes that update premium is only going to batter me. Where i live there's a lot of uninsured drivers and lots of snow day accidents loyally that all screw my insurance so high that its over 1000 despite a clean 25 yrs ncd. Its hard to find that these days so taking seats out and it being even more ..is just not an option. So..goodluck and i cant wait to see how you fare.
Omg how much 😫 defo don’t want to be doing anything to make them charge you anymore then 🙏 I think it will perfectly / in fact I can even try it with the folding bed- as that fits in both configs and gives you under bed storage for actual car camp bits and bobs :)
@@zafiracamper I haven't tried the camp bed lark yet.. I bought one.. but havnt been empty enough to try it yet... but.. on the topic... I do have and have used ( with me scrunched on back seat plus more suited but the 5 foot back layout) with large dog bed cussions. Effectively floor cussions. I got three of them 7.99 each at that popular high Street/retail Park shop HB. Made with diced chunks of memory foam.. they shape into any gap and offer comfortle squidge. Perhaps they could work as scatter cushion seating while working as well as bed option plus foot rests if using rear seat.. I like the comfort they offer me and of course they seperate to stuff anywhere. They are nof just a thin foam mat. Very affordable I thought.. especially compared to ones the big six Al di one currently available at around 20 each. Anyhoo food for thought
Id love to have a work at home job 😢 when i go fulltime vanlife ive gotta find one that would be my dream parked at a beach typing away on the laptop 😊
I've been thinking about this sort of thing a lot of late, with the idea of a Kei van or Transit Connect / Berlingo. But a Zafira seems pretty good! One thing with the hotter summers I also think about is an EV as you can run the climate control for hours at a time and not have to have the engine idling.
All great cars :) Although if you were buying for this purpose, then prob a transit connect would be better as a lot more spacious (well they look like they are on YT vids I’ve seen). Yeah keeping cool in heat is defo something I’ve not had to contend with yet - mines moreso been contending with cold 😅
I have toying with this idea as well. I have a camper so a smidge more room. How does one go about privacy during the day, though, when one is ....errrmmm on the throne?
😂 This is what I call a filler vid 😂 Wanted to car camp last week not make this 😭 But I have a healthy stash of driveway approved vids that I can make when needs must 😅 I think my wild camp set up is there now, pretty sure I have everything I need 😱 So quite possibly, after my next car camp 😱
@MancavetoOutdoors no no it’s good to keep me motivated - I was never nervous about my first car camp - I am for the wild camp 😂 It’ll be a proper go for a hike and hope I find a spot 😂
@@michaelprunty1399 hi there, erm not too sure, I’ve never looked into this as my whole set up is non permanent and in reality only used as overnight camper twice a month :)

Oh no 😂 I’m guessing all the nooks and crannies 😂
🥴 yep , thankfully, the floor is vinyl, and the rugs washable. I feel a summer spring clean day happening tomorrow .. 🙄
@@siobhancalway2223 these things happen to make us clean, much like when you invite the family over 😂

@zafiracamper yeah I bet that saves a canny penny too. Use the car for more important things bud, like camping 😉
Very impressive turn around too. 👏
@@shoreylife oh yes in indeedy, as long as I make it off the drive that is 😂
@@zafiracamper 😄 🤣

Andddd just for you, the porta potti was not wearing his usual jacket 😂
@@zafiracamper Haha. I was well impressed...PP looked as lovely as ever 💖😁

Well, I do have the answer for that…. For me, I can pull the Amazon central curtains and then whack up the blackout covers on the windows 🚽👀🫡

I dream about having the bongo set up with Wi-Fi and leisure batterys so I can just travel and make vid along the way. 👍
Then you would be proper loving the dream ❤️🚗
