What would you choose? 😄 Our van, Elton, or the Wild Camper Truck? If you haven't seen the FULL Tour of our Elton - watch it here ua-cam.com/video/apAsnJgc3c8/v-deo.html
Elton! 100%
Hands Down ⭐️ELTON🌟 this truck not my cup of tea, mainly that bed is a coffin to me lol. Happy trails, stay safe, Wales is so beautiful thank you🙏🏻❤️ps. Purchase a couple of those tread/get out of mud tracks, big help for you!!!🧐😎
Elton!!! Definitely. I was so happy to find out that you didn't swap for good.
For an off road weekend getaway, the Wild Camper is great. For a longer vacation, Elton is the best choice. Is there a toilet in the Wild Camper?
Still prefer Elton and you just need to put a better tires -> all terrain line by BF Goodrich.
Watching Europeans talk about trucks. Priceless. Great video. 👍
Lmao 😂
Definitely the Wild Camper Truck just for the capability to go off-road into the back country and you're not missing much in the comfort department wise.
Very informative. Thank you.
You are welcome!
That is super cool but agree more a weekend camper than full time although you could make it work if needed. I think a small crawl hatch to the cab would be a good addition just from a safety point for me. Happy travels x
That’s very true! Would be cool to have!
i love that little van, good for a break or a first time van lifer, it was so well made!!!
We definitely agree!
Wow, that's SUCH a cool camper truck!! Perhaps not suitable as a "permanent home", but for a romantic week end off grid.... great! Thank you so much for showing it to us! (PS The in-built shower: perfect!)
We agree! ❤️❤️
Great review ! We’ve been building our own camper from scratch down here in cornwall 👍🏻
Very cool! Best of luck!!
Great to hear you saying the Welsh town names in Cymraeg first.
Also brilliant to hear Adriana perfectly pronouncing those Welsh names. Da Iawn Adriana.
Diolch Meu!! Trio ein gorau 😄🏴
Another fantastic video, i liked the truck van, although I pick yours cause it's more comfortable, be that as it may it could work for a weekend away, the good thing bout this truck van is that you can park in places that Elton cannot. Cheers loved this mini tour
Hehe thanks so much!! So true - it’s got the easy parking on its side, imagine Elton off-roading 😂
You guys are so lucky. How cool is that 😎
Hehe it was so cool to try out! 🤗
Just a small step up from a pup tent.
another few inches high head room over the bed will be perfect.
I've heard you mention in a few videos about your lack of oven. I've been using a Coleman Camp Oven for over a year in my caravan. It's not the biggest but it definitely works well. Just a thought
Such a cool looking oven! Thank you
Great video. That looks so tiny compared to the truck campers over here in America! I guess if that Ranger is considered big and “badass” an F-150 would be enormous. It makes sense though, the roads are smaller, much narrower in Europe than here. Many people camp in SUV and live full time in vans they cannot stand up in here as well so there’s an option for everyone.
Hehe we would struggle getting around in a car much bigger than this, the roads hardly allow for this 😂😂
I pick yours since it’s more liveable but like you said. You can take the camper truck to more obscure places 😊
so true!!
Ohhhhh! Claustrophobia comes to mind, especially in the bed area. Lets go back to Elton. 🤗🤗🤗
Hehehe agreed! Elton is bigger 😍😍
I didn't know that Ford offered a camper certification on the Ranger. You have to go to a DRW to get a camper certification on a Super Duty.
Wow, looks like a little slice of the United States in Wales... this looks like a lot of our RV's across the pond.
Oh cool!! Such a fun place to stay 😍😍
I would prefer Elton, still the camper would be fun for a short stay.
Another awesome vlog guys, love from your Aussie friend
Oh yes Elton is our dream but this was cool just for a short while!
Great campervan! It does mean you have to move to a real harsh wilderness 😉. New name: Muscle Elton??😊
Haha!! Maybe...
I prefer Elton, more homely. However, a couple of nights in the wild camper is great.
But Elton is home and has got a great coffee machine, haha.
So true haha nothing can beat the epic coffee machine 😍😍
Very lovely, I enjoyed it! You both makes any topic enjoyable to consume. Just so very wsrm and inviting personalities.. Elton or bigger, my choice...
Hehe oh yes, Elton calls for a lot more comfort 😍🤗
That outside shower is essentially a bidet 😅
Hehehehe 👀
Fantastic 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely awesome camper truck!! But is it possible to sleep widthwise for 1 person?
Oh I’m not too sure, we didn’t test that out!
That truck screams action movie to me, Rambo, Jean Claude van Damme. he's muscular. 😃Elton is someone who's artistic, loves going to Glastonbury and only likes oat milk latte.
Gahahaha that’s so true 😂😂😂😂
Wow so cool! But there is no toilet in the truck and also not in Elton. How do you guys do that?
There’s a toilet in both!!
Love the van more. But a really good video 👏
Hehe thank you!! ❤️
To American ears this is adorable. Y'all got the little baby truck. That things tiny, and the camper shell is reeaaallly small by American standards.
Hehehe that’s so funny! The roads here are small - anything bigger would be chaos 😂
Wow cool
Looks cool but I love Elton. ❤
So do we 😍🤗
amazing ...ford is already in my dreams but as camper wow
😍😍
3 months ago, I tried the exact same 2023 model Ford Ranger Wildtrack camping vehicle, which is exactly the same structure down to its interior structure, produced by a Turkish company, during a weekend holiday. (The Turkish company Hotomobil Gladiator sells especially well in Scandinavian countries.)
Yes if I’m not mistaken this one was sourced from Turkey!! 😊 So it may very well be exactly the same!
@@2Passports1Dream ahahahh yes, when you write and look more carefully, Gladiator is Turkish Made. But for very narrow weekend getaways or yes, for a long European holiday, to travel between countries (not staying in a hotel somewhere), it is used for practicality purposes, "Gas stations are very good for these vehicles for basic needs". Fiat is really excellent in terms of performance. You should definitely have a partner with you, then the pleasure will be greater. What also caught my attention is that British and Scandinavian tourists (families, children or married) who see this vehicle while on a weekend holiday come easily 10 times and ask questions about the vehicle (practicality, ease of use, price). And I even showed a German and Norwegian couple the inside and out of the car and explained it to them. They took photos, etc., and gave the name of the company... And Ford Ranger Wild Track is a very suitable brand...
Truck is a great size for me and my dog and I wouldn't extend the bed BUT an axe on the outside (and a spade) 😮 I wouldn't sleep at night
Hahahahaha good point 😂👀
Nah. The axe is there to chop firewood, but locked into position
Good girl!
Come off it Dylan, you know your still a boy racer type , wait till you hit 45❤
I would lighten the interior
Not seen that style of campervan in the UK before it is a great idea, sadly there's companies in Korea who build campervans on the long wheelbase Ssangyong Musso both double and single cab they get the vehicles minus the load bed and stick a proper camper body on it looking at some Korean UA-cam videos I would buy one the single cab has a crawl through into the living area shower/bathroom full size bed above the cab seating at the rear converts into another bed kitchen comes with an electric oven fridge freezer (full height) sink and a small dishwasher (double cab has a small washing machine by the door and no crawl through).
Like the Ford comes with 2.2ltr six speed gearbox 18 inch all terrain tyres (20 optional) but you don't have to purchase ramps to level the vehicle it comes with hydraulic rams underneath.
Ssangyong (now KGM) sadly will not import any after the failure of a conversion done on their now discontinued seven seat people carrier but a lot of people have said to me they would purchase one instead of a standard campervan due to being able to more go places,
Apparently the Koreans love them off grid camping is a big thing out there.
Oh wow they sound cool!!
This is a Lion Caravans Sabre camper model on the truck, right?
We don’t know - but the owner got it from Turkey!
How would you get out of the camper body if someone lifted the tailgate during the night? It looks like you’d be trapped inside as the door opens outwards.
Yes, you’d have to escape out of a window 🤔
I think it's a mistake to cover the interior in dark carpet, makes the limited space seem even smaller. In something compact you want light colours.
Agreed, light colours would be nice 😍
handsome beast..very cool.
Hehe 🤗🤗
Wonder camper truck 😊
Ohhhh yeah 🥰
Hello
Quick question
The gentleman in this video at first I thought maybe he was Polish but then I kept hearing a north Walian twang (I’m Welsh) and towards the end all I heard was the Welsh accent, so where are you from? I’m assuming you were originally from Europe but settled in north wales! I loved this video, you’re both great!
Haha he’s born and bred in north wales! Porthmadog to be exact!! I think the slight European twang may have been picked up from spending time with me (I’m fully Swedish) 😄😄
@@2Passports1Dream ahhhhhh okay this makes sense 😂 if he’s from Porthmadog he’d definitely understand “dwi’n ymddiheuro am meddwl dy fod di o wlad pwyl 😬😂” also I thought you were Irish 😬😬 your English is very good! I just stumbled across the channel! But I enjoyed the video!
Can you ditch the living quarters from the flatbed?
You cannot!
Unless you’re very small and can squeeze through the window lol
Very nice for a getaway, not full time living though, especially for a couple. Maybe fine for one person and a dog.
Also, I'm guess adrianna was eating a meatless sausage sandwich?
Heheh we both ate meatless sausages 😍 they taste so good!!
We had a look at these campers in 2023 to say that I was unimpressed, which would be a massive understatement.
It's ok for a couple of nights away, better than camping. But not good for long term!
Very nice but I’m sure I read somewhere that there are new insurance policies being put on these trucks that are astronomical
Might be right, not too sure!
Love love 4x4s 👍👌😁 so it's a yes frm me lol
It was soooooo nice to drive 😍
It is very snug for both of you, but not for me, I’m six foot four inches plus I’m only here to follow I can’t even drive but such is life👍
Subhanallah
Enak tapi di daerah dingin...
What if someone close the tailgate😂.
Where is the 🚽 toilet, fresh water, black water and grey water tank ?
The thanks are all underneath/built in. The toilet is removable and goes in one of the cupboards 🥰
black wheels are pure U G L Y
🥹🥹
Great for a weekend away but not to live in
Only? I’ve seen several.
Vary cool looking camper but definitely not for full time living 🤗💞
We agree!
Where's the "toilet"
There’s a cupboard where there’s a moveable toilet 👀
Yeah ! Nice bit of kit for a weekend/week but you wouldn't want to live in it ! Expensive to own Expensive to rent I'd imagine ! 👍
That’s true!! Super fun for a weekend but our Elton feels more like a home 😍😍
@@2Passports1Dream 👍
Got my Ford Ranger
But think I'll stick to my caravan
Too small
No amenities
But great for youngsters tho
If only for the looks and likes
That crew needs more CAFFEINE.
Hi guys, I would hope you guys will ditch the LWB van soon! As it is so problematic. 😂😊
What's wrong with it??
@2Passports1Dream Going by from your previous videos. There seems to be a lot of problems with Elton. And you guys seemed stressed! But to be honest this campervan seems more for you! 👍
@S_Hongster haha we can’t afford something like this!! Elton is within our budget 😂 plus we love him hehe!
@@2Passports1Dream I love all your videos! Especially the ones from your Asian Travels! Miss them 👍 keep up the great videos!!!
@@Hongstar888they’ve never lived in something like Elton, so there IS adjustments to be made as well as realizing getting used to its quirks and any issues are stressful in the moment if you’re in a hurry and a breakdown of something(which happens) they can purchase whatever necessary to make their travels easier. In my book, Elton is well appointed for a home build! Just sayin🙏🏻🤨🤔❤️
Nice. A bit small
Hehe just enough for a weekend! 🤗
Wow this idea hasn't been done before by anyone flogged to death idea.
We’d never seen a truck like this before!! 😂
If this is an "AD" for the brand, don't forget to disclose it.
It's not an AD and we do not get paid, just wanted to help the company out
looks like Uk knock-off of the Kimbo
Kimbo?? Never heard of it!
No I prefer Elton to this boy machine, let’s face it to cold to shower outside
Hi guys. Loving yr videos. Do u have a funding page to receive donations. E.g. PayPal ( I’m old school but I’m sure there’s better options, either way I’m keen to donate a bit of coin for fuel or a decent meal out at a local pub on yr journey. I’m sure a few other subscribers to yr channel would also like to donate, you could even do videos of yr dinner treats at the local pubs on the journey. 🤔
Hello! That's lovely, it's really not necessary but here is our Paypal link - paypal.me/2p1d
@@2Passports1Dream
Sent u guys nz$50 not sure what that is in pounds but that should get u guys at least fish and chips on a Wales beach 🤗🤗 you could add this treat (fish and chips) into one of yr next videos. It would be so cool to see you guys trying a new pub or cafe at EACH town you visit, possibly sponsored by a subscriber. Loved the lunch adventure a few videos back where you were attacked by wasps 😱 p.s also going forward PayPal’s fees were 10%, thinking there’s got to be a better funding program out there. In summary I’m keen to donate again as you travel through Europe, dinning at places I can only dream about from New Zealand. E.g. coffee and croissant under the Eiffel Tower (when u get to Paris) I have heard coffee in Paris is now E$9 😢 and we all know Adriana loves her coffee ☕️ 🤗 oh my, now theres a thought, a fund me page to fund Adriana daily coffee addiction as you travel Europe 🤔🤔🤔🤔 anyways look forward to the next video. ( if other subscribers to the channel agree with my thoughts, hit that like button and let’s get some momentum on the coffee fund 💰
@user-ds2hc2lf2m that’s incredible!! Thank you so so much 😍🤗 Fish and chips are 100% on the cards!! 😍😍 Thank you! Ahah you know us too well, that coffee addiction is so real and it’s one that will stay strong! We will look into it - 10% isn’t great for a fee Hmm…!
Thank you again 😍
Wow your hair stayed short well keep it that way because it looks 2000 times better
Hehe thank you!! 🤗🤗
You don’t need permission to off road if you use byways or green lanes.
а где туалет? кто понял?
There’s a movable one you can put in the cupboard!
I am 6 ft 12 I have my private jet because I am multi billionaire
That’s awesome 😉
Where do you poop and pee pee 🤔
Hehee there’s a portable toilet!!
Almost 7 minutes before showing interior. Please be quicker
lol
@@2Passports1Dream apologies didn’t mean to come across rude, great video overall I was half asleep when this comment was made 😅
It’s a great camper truck, but it’s an anti-fat people camper truck case there’s not much room to move sorry.
It can only be built to the size of the pickup truck. Don’t think they did it on purpose
Please be careful driving that thing. Trucks are insanely dangerous for everyone that’s not sitting in one as well as they are so tall and high of the ground.
Thank you, we were careful 🤗
the Ranger is one of the smallest trucks you can buy in the USA😂😂😂
Get a helmet and stop being precious
No toilets
There is a movable one you can put in the cupboard
A few nights? Nobody cares!
Thanks for watching!
