I was most impressed by the retro caravans being shown. So much love goes into those

[@TravellingK]

This is a speedy upload!! Nice😀 Interesting to hear the pros and cons on the other vans.

[@EatSleepVan]

Bit of a rush job!

[@christinascurr3407]

Glad you liked my TrailLite 354 Oakura on the Vw chassis 😜 so looking forward to the hand over

[@robperano7708]

Nice video.Did you see any Slideon Campers featured at the show?

[@EatSleepVan]

Didn’t notice sorry! There should be a list of exhibitors on the website

[@scottystonemusic7225]

Awesome cheers for showing us around, I'm still wondering whether to go or not, I went last year and it was pretty cool.
How tall are you? I'm 6foot2 and will be going for a hi roof Transit but I was wondering if the other vans out there would fit me..

[@EatSleepVan]

Hey good stuff, I’m 6’4”. That 2” could make a difference! Most vans are around 1.8m, the tall transit is 2.0 and I’m 1.9.

[@terrywbreedlove]

I am 6’1’ maybe just coming in under the ceiling :)

[@Scrambler85]

At 6'4" we are discriminated against, lol.

[@EatSleepVan]

We sure are! But boy, glad I’m not any taller

[@mumblic]

@@EatSleepVan Wondering how tall are you ? I'm 194 cm. Does this mean the only option for me would be a Ford Transit!

[@EatSleepVan]

@@mumblic 6'4" or 193cm. No another option is the Ducato which is available in some countries with a similar high roof. Might not be America though. Not sure about the new model Sprinters.

[@EatSleepVan]

@@mumblic NZ your options are the Jumbo Transit or the high roof Ducato.

[@mumblic]

@@EatSleepVan Thanks for the reply but I'm bit confused: based on your video it's clearly to low! see 6:05
