So I’m always dreaming of my next conversion and now that I have rescued a 4×4 VW LT from Lithuania I can actually start to think about what my self build interior requirements would...
With the announcement of the new all-electric VW microbus I was drawn to dig out this amazing short clip of a VW T25 powered by Tesla motors and with an upgraded differential to handle...

OK so it’s a bit of a niche but as you know I’m into my overland videos and take a lot of leads from others for my own (which I hope improves them!). As...
There’s a lovely new series unfolding on the Lifestyle Overland Youtube Channel. They run a 4×4 rig and trailer rather than a campervan but it’s a reminder of what real campervan ownership is all...

The great folks over at overlandjournal.com publish a lovely monthly magazine and they’re giving away a free one this month. You can download yours here. There’s some wonderful imagery and long well thought through...
Not exactly campervans but what a wonderful bit of filmic inspiration is this! I want to jump in my van with a drone and disappear into the Eurasian Steppes! Where would you go? Enjoy.

I couldn’t embed it and it’s only on the Italian TV website RAI at the moment so it may not be viewable for ever but there’s the 3rd episode of a wonderful series of...
From the Great Aussie Adventure Facebook page these images show the epitome of what owning a camper like the Unimog is all about. The couple have been camped here near Broome in western Australia for 5 weeks. Shots...
Well like most of you we’re real close to jumping in the van and heading off again. I am so excited! School boy excited! And this is why I love doing this and boring...
