Genius layout. The lounging and sleeping mode are so versatile with many ways of setting it up to cater to our needs. Good height of this vehicle too so we don't have to hunch or stoop low moving around inside. Sink and stove are compact too. Real genius. Kudos! Well done! Cheers and safe journeys always!
The tolerances and the precision are perfect! The bed options show how much thought went into this. Also, the engine is running very smoothly for such an old vehicle.
Yeah this looks ideal. I keep looking at “camper vans” but most of them seem to aspire to be a boutique hotel on wheels. Each to their own, but to me camping has an element of improvisation. Gotta love the polystyrene shades!
Wow you Sir are not only an ambassador to DIY and Camper community but also more importantly I think to the Environment. You have made great memories with this vehicle (proven by your pictures) and yet still kept this vehicle in a condition that never aged if not younger (put more life into it). If only people had the same mind set and treated equipment with respect and motivation to repair, refurbish and not just see them as throw away, judged by market value (not useful value) we would have not only a better world, but more affordable machines with many still existing, being passed on after our use (like the generations before us passing on taken cared of and treated as non throw away things) like this. Thank you for sharing and hope it went to great home treated like you did. I wish you well with your health good Sir.
@@VolvoLaplanderCamper sadly I have been going through the same thing. Health issues and advancing years demand that I sell or give away things, and travel has become difficult, no longer the joy it once was. My hope is that the new owners will treasure these things as I have.🙂
Замечательный Вольво. Минимализм в лучшем качестве. Особенно приятно, что автор с авто живут и путешествуют многие годы - это редкость. Уважение автору.
It reminds me of the old Volkswagen campers of the 1960s and 1970s only larger. But our Volkswagen camper couldn't go that fast and didn't come with a bucket. 😅 Wishing you many happy times.
Best mobile home I have ever seen. I loved his toilet. Made me laugh so much. I was also smiling as he showed so many options to create a place to rest or sleep. The bigger the mobile home, the scarier it looks & uninviting to live in. You want a mobile home, why drag a huge proper home all over the roads! Travel light should be the motto. You can't live without washing machine, proper kitchen, beds, T. V. etc., travel via train or bus or plane & rent a room in a motel or whatever. Don't waste fuel on traveling in huge mobile homes! 😊
Sorry to hear that you had to sell for health reasons. Looks like you were a great steward of a classic off road vehicle for a long time. Hopefully the next owner will take as good of care of it as you did.
Very beautiful car and I love how well thought out your camper conversion is. Thank you for this video and don't pay attention to the negativity in the comments. All the best for you and your health!
This is perfect! Everything you need in a neat and tidy package! Love those cushion covers! The tires are great for more rugged conditions in the north I bet! Greetings from West Michigan!
What an amazing camper van! After 30 years it must have been difficult to sell (but maybe also difficult to maintain). I wish Volvo would make more like it; more basic design to last longer.
What a little beauty! And so well maintained… sorry you had to say goodbye after 31 years, that must of been tough… sounds like it’s gone to a good home, it’s a credit to you mate 👍
Thanks a lot! Yes we miss the camper but life had to go on and I'm better nowdays, no morphine and gabapentine on daytime, so I have keep my driven licens.
So much uses for small space., so efficient,so effective. For bath, so the soap and water then wipe like the old day bathing. If a person is not high maintenance then they can live practically any condition. What a man❤❤❤
Thanks, shower is now outside-long hose, but just inside side door is duble floor and before ther was folderbar shower curtins there for inside shower- I once took one just outside ambesy in Cairo before a meting there.
Stupendo, non tanto il mezzo , che è un piccolo gioiello , ma il fatto che sia un mezzo che ami da quando sei giovane e non hai piu abbandonato, un amore che ti invidio . Con tanti soldi puoi avere tutto , ma non la gioia della tua gioventù!
Excellent minimalist design layout flexible. -Given the small space it's pretty good. I'd like it for a Weekend camper great stuff! Quirky old volvo, but I like it, nice build/renovation, looks brand new outside. 👍🏴🇬🇧
Hello from Dallas, TX. Just love ❤ that little Volvo camper. I've had two Volvo wagons my self and they were like a tank. you have it set up way better than a five star room hotel 🛏️ good luck and it looks excellent 👌👍.
This thing will last forever with simple mechanics maintenance. I liked the quiet cupboard doors best. If you stay slim and agile, you will have simple joy for years to come.
This video seems like a kick in the mouth for all the environmentalists of the new world who buy real spaceships built with a thousand stupid things for camping, and that cost fortunes. Simplicity as always is the way.
Absolutely cleverly thought-out seating and bed concept. I am really impressed! Even though I'm not a fan of putting my bed together every night and stowing it away again in the morning. In any case, I'm really very positively surprised at how cleverly little space has been used here. And anyone who has been on longer trips away from 5-star campsites will appreciate such a compact vehicle. The compact vehicle pays off in the Alps or the Pyrenees at the latest. Not to mention small, narrow villages that you may have to or want to drive through. The only thing I would miss is a better toilet. The bucket concept is too spartan for me. But a more modern dry separation toilet hardly takes up any more space and is also easy to move around. So replacing the bucket shouldn't be a problem. And showering only outside the vehicle is perhaps a problem when wild camping in a city, otherwise it's not something I would really miss in the vehicle.
Thanks for watching and commenting. In the past, there was a 4 meter rule at an extra low price on ferries across the Mediterranean and this one was classified there. I used to have a shower just inside the door, like a tent, and the shower there is double, so there is extra standing height, and the floor had drainage at the time. The shower worked well, for example I took a shower in the middle of Cairo before a visit to the embassy.

Straight forward and to the point. Everything anyone really needs and very well designed. I like this a lot. Too bad one can’t get these easily in the states.
"Personally? I think you were very smart. You did something marvelous in a limited space. It is an achievement, and? I congratulate you on your design." 👍
The Laplander is a really small car, but it's incredible how well everything in there fits together .. all you need for living is there .. except the proper shower of course, but washing can also be done outside. Well done anyway 👍
He has kept this vehicle going for over forty years. It purrs like a lion and he kept all the old parts. It still looks new. I salute you sir!!!!!
Oh and he added new tech on top of that!
I enjoyed this very much. No boring intros, no annoying music, nothing more than exactly what it is. Very beautiful home. ❤
Thanks a lot! One day mabye I will copy photos for youtube slide show, a few places don't exist any longer after the wars.
@@VolvoLaplanderCamper That would be lovely!
The pictures of your younger self in the van were awesome 👏
Thanks, maybe someone will recognize the younger version of me 😀

They are only use when sleeping in cold night for less condensation.
I think these shades would work way better than the thin double sided reflecting insulation van lifers use. And it probably works as sound insulation.

This is how vehicles should be built. Simple, affordable and not over-teched with electronics and useless junk
I've never seen a motorhome with so many compartments and storage options, congratulations on that
Thanks a lot!
Such a rare thing to have a unique retro vehicle as a camper. Stunning!
I love the simplicity! It just proves that this can be done on a budget! Great job, great camper! I wish you many happy km!
I can only imagine how tough this would have been to sell. I'd imagine the new owner will treasure it. Great video!
It sold by health reson.

It looks bigger on video but old vw are infact longer, this is only 4 meter.
Honestly, one of the best, well- thought out kitchen, bed, eating area combos I've ever seen. So smart!
Thank's a lot this living combo I made 1991 for first long trip and it's later rebuilded one time.
That is really cool especially the bed set ups. Love that you can access the cab from the back or front. Great size 13 ft long.

Loved the simplicity and versatility of the set up! Also a minimalist. 😊👏
I just love the low tech angleometer in the middle of the dashboard...
Excellent use of space.Very practical. Many places are too windy or wet,or both for a tent.Welldone,sir.
Thanks , and many countries were and are not safe to camp and use tents.
Clever use of space and I'll bet it will bring many new memories for the new owner.
Absolutely incredible vibe this dude gives off throughout the entire tour
Simple but has everything you need. Vehicle has clearly been looked after too! 😊
Minimalist's dream rig...amazingly functional and maneuverable!
Wow! It's so cool, I love it and really want to have one. It's just like a mini armoured car
The old first version design of this car from the 50th was a armoured militeary car, but this is a modern version from redesigne late 70th.
This is a nice camper, smaller than my car but very functional. Extremely convenient to zip through. Thank you for showing!
Great presentation. Not fancy but very well designed. Perfect for camping!
Very nice! Not sure why everyone is complaining about the audio. I understood everything just watching.
I love your camper, this camper.!.❤
Very well organized everything you need is there a bit small but the size got advantages take care be safe enjoy your summer
