not healthy 100%
Humans will grow, you think that human bodies are small, think about that, don't torture your own child
Don’t worry , when we travel with the kids ( now teenagers ) we use a csmpsite and pop tents so they have their own space .
No way would 5 adults manage in this space ….. just because you could , doesn’t mean you should x
Hello, just wanted to say thank you for this video. Watched it multiple times! We are a family of five (one super small) and have been on the fence with a T6, wondering if it will fit us all in. This was the most comprehensive video I could find and you answered so many of my questions. I anticipate we will be laughing with an awning for extended weekends and should just about get away with a night or two self contained 🙌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, can I ask what the bed is made of? Thank you.
Hi the pop top is just wood with a mattress topper - I now have a thicker piece of foam which is way more comfy
The rock n roll bed I’d foam covered with PVC leather look cover sat on a metal frame .
For comfort I would really test out beds as the newer model campers have really firm
Uncomfy beds meaning you then use space for a topper
Hope that helps 👍
Thanks for the share, really nicely presented and very pro :) We been looking at something for us and this was a very nice insight.
Great video! Which pop top did you go for or is it the VW one? Looking for one that will sleep 2 adults :)
Hi it was on the van when I bought it . Can sleep 2 adults fine . Cosy but fine ( I’m used to a king size bed at home !)
Well done excellent video as always keep up the good work.😊
Love your van, is it LWB? Either way, it's like the tardis!
short wheel base actually and yes its quite a surprise when you open the side door !
Great video dub life😊
Thanks for this 😊
Hiya we're caravaners of family of 5 atm but looking to get a lwb campervan.
Best combo would be both for longer holidays and the campervan is just perfect for weekends , longer day trips .
My teens tend to want their own space now but the van is still invaluable for mum and daughter weekends , mum and dad escapes and extending days out .
Best of luck on your search - wait until Xmas - you’ll get a better deal
@@vanlifegoodies yes ideally that the plan to getting t5. Just weekends/bank holidays ect as we like main holidays abroad.
Excellent vlog as always guys. Xxx well done xxxx
Thanks for sharing.
Great Video. When i started out campervan'ing it was a bit of a minefield. This is a great video for those starting out and for the more seasoned. 👏
Thanks for the encouragement x
Is there a weight limit on the pop top bed
I believe so but it seems each type is different .
I would find out what type you have and ask the manufacturer .
I have always been told 2 fully grown adults are ok and we have not had a problem.
Hope that helps
Thanks for watching 👍
