I Regret Selling My Campervan... [A Warning to ALL]

I sold my VW campervan thinking it was the right choice. I was wrong. After a conversation on the golf course with a friend who felt the same, I realised the huge mistake we both made.

In this video, I’m being 100% honest about the "Great Regret" that many former van owners are feeling right now in the UK. We talk about the financial pressures of 2025, the reality of "caravan life" vs "van life," and why the beach just isn't the same anymore. If you're thinking of selling your van due to the cost of living or family changes, watch this first.

I made a massive mistake selling my T6, and as I found out on the golf course recently, I’m not the only one. If you’re currently debating selling your van because of "logic"—whether it's the money, the kids reaching a certain age, or your day job—please watch this until the end.

We often don't value the "Mobile Basecamp" lifestyle until we’re stuck in a car at a rainy beach with no way to get changed or make a brew. I’m sharing this as a warning so you don't make the same costly realization I did.

I want to hear from you: Have you ever sold a van and regretted it? Or are you currently on the fence about selling yours? Let’s help each other navigate these decisions in the comments below.

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.

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

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.

Van life is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.

There are many great camper adventures to come
