1963 VW Type 2 Samba 23 Window De Lux Bus Split Screen VW Transporter the beginning - Splitty 😍

This beautiful Splitty was a joy to ride in. The sound of the air cooled engine, rag top open, feeling the breeze from the open front windows. What an amazing van.

This is where the Volkswagen Transporter began. Now a sort after historic van, adored by many and a dream for so many. I had the opportunity to have a ride in Frankie The Bus and what a great experience. I want one.

A little bit of a different video, but the current vans history takes us back to this. The two tone vans we see in modern vans, harks back to then and can be seen in the new VW ID Buzz

Whether you have a T5, VW T5.1, T6, T6.1 or even an older T2, T2.5, T4, the VW Vanlife scene is amazing, with so much help and assistance available for whatever project you wish to attempt. Panel van, Kombi, Converted Camper or VW California Beach or Ocean, enjoy the freedom van life brings.

The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along nicely.

I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.

Slowly turning it into a camper van / day van with bed. I will also need something for cooking, cooling, sleeping, drinking ?? Choices to be made.

I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests.

Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.

Please do let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Vanlife for me is just beginning, it's a great adventure and I'm loving it. 😍

There are many great camper adventures to come
