Tour of our Vauxhall Vivaro Camper Van which we converted for our travels. In this video we detail the modifications we made to the van to make it a camper.

VAN GEAR

We use an EcoFlow Delta Max 2 with solar panels for our electricity on the road. We never have to plug into campsite electricity supplies during the summer months. You can find them here [ Ссылка ]

We use these lights in the van [ Ссылка ] - they are USB powered, last ages on a charge and they are detachable so you can take them to the toilet block at night time.

This is our trusty diesel heater which we've had zero issues with [ Ссылка ] - it is very warm and extremely economical. We upgraded some of the parts which can be found here -

Fuel line [ Ссылка ]
Exhaust [ Ссылка ]
Turret [ Ссылка ]
Drill bit for Turret fitting [ Ссылка ]
Hole Saw for Turret fitting [ Ссылка ]
Heat Proof Sealant [ Ссылка ]

Claire uses the heater in combination with this oversized hoodie which keeps her warm even in the Alps in winter [ Ссылка ]

Our water tap is USB powered, lasts ages and doesn't let us down [ Ссылка ]

Our sink is just a sink but works well [ Ссылка ]

We use 2 Jerry Cans for fresh and waste water [ Ссылка ]

These are our blackout curtains that are light weight and block the light brilliantly [ Ссылка ]

Our windows have this stuff across them [ Ссылка ] - we keep them closed with these press studs - [ Ссылка ]

This handy humidity and temperature monitor is good for keeping an eye on the interior [ Ссылка ]

These are hands down the best travel towels. They are small to pack and work like magic at drying us off [ Ссылка ]

When we cook in the van we use our beloved Ridge Monkey which can be found here [ Ссылка ] and my old Trangia Stove which is bullet proof. They can be found here [ Ссылка ]

We use an iPad for navigation which is awesome. We mount this over our existing radio with these mounts [ Ссылка ] - they are really good and we haven't had any accidents.

The van is insulated with this insulation [ Ссылка ] - Claire is usually cold in the house but finds that she is always warm in the van.

We used this for sound deadening the van which has made it so much quieter on the road [ Ссылка ]

CAMERA GEAR

Our footage is shot on a GoPro which we highly recommend for travel as they fit into your pocket and your footage is stabilised. These are well worth having and are way better than your phone camera. You can find these here [ Ссылка ] - because we use external microphones we use a media mod that allows this. You can find this here [ Ссылка ]

You may notice that we have really good low-light footage in our recent videos. This has been made possible with the Sony ZV-E10 camera. It's a vlogging camera with a swing-out screen and gives excellent quality images without being too big and heavy. You can find these here [ Ссылка ] and the lens that we use here [ Ссылка ] - the lens is extremely important for low light.

One of the problems with the Sony camera is it is stabilised as well as the GoPro so we use this gimbal when out to smooth out the shots.

We use a lot of batteries when out and about so we have added these extra batteries with chargers to our collection [ Ссылка ]

This is our tripod which is great as it doubles as a monopod [ Ссылка ] - it's lightweight and easy to carry around.

I love our camera bag, it's easy to arrange things how you want to with individual compartments, it's got a waterproof cover and you can strap the tripod to it [ Ссылка ]

We use Comica C3 wireless microphones so that you can all hear us clearly. They are a budget mic but really good for capturing dialogue as we are out and about. You can find these here [ Ссылка ]

These memory cards work really well for our 4K footage [ Ссылка ]
