Citroen Berlingo Solo Campervan conversion

A short film about the Chapel Motorhomes camper conversion unit I bought for my car. I finally got round to using the Berlingo as a proper camper, and I'm loving this unit. I'm also not getting back out after getting the little dog, who's now all grown up!
I stayed at the National Trust campsite in Eskdale, in some wet and windy weather. Pretty glad to have not been in a tent. We did a couple of short walks, but the main aim was taking Barry for his first trip to the Lakes and first long car journey (he's hated the car since the day I picked him up) and figuring out how to best use this set up. Next summer we'll be back touring the country!

I have the same berlingo in the same colour, her name is Nova. I also use those curtains in the summer months 😊

We’re in the same micro camping groups Nick! I’m planning on getting back out in mine when the weather improves a bit…

Such a smart set-up! Love that you made such a simple and sensible set-up that fit you and little Barry very well. Awww'd audibly at the Barry montage at the end. 🥹 Here's to more days of car camping!!

I'm impressed :-)

I'm sure Barry will get used to the Camper van in time especially as there is always a nice walk when you stop and you can carry him in a dog carry over your shoulder if he gets tired on longer walks, I think you will get a lot of fun from the van so look forward to seeing where you get to, Colin.

He’s doing a lot better with the camper. I’m planning the places we’ll be travelling to come Spring & Summer!

I'm always glad to see other untidy people 🤍

I have a single chapel MH set up in my Berlingo I just love it, like you I don’t seem to use the sink ( only for storage ) I have collapsible sink I use if on day trip I take pots home to wash or use camp sinks. I use an off cut of Lino to cover the floor and footwell so it’s easy to clean after muddy / wet hiking boots come in. Unlike you I don’t have a cute Barrington ❤ happy travels x

Hi just subscribe to your channel and found your set up looks great. Can you tell me where you bought the fitting for the smaller gas Bootle please.

[@hikinginaleakyleftboot]

Hi. I bought it from Go Outdoors. It’s called a Campingaz twin connection CV/R Regulator kit. It’s probably available in other camping shops too.

[@JPfreespirit]

@@hikinginaleakyleftboot Oh right that's great thanks for your reply 😊

[@yasminsgreatescape]

Barrington is very cute! You have a very interesting layout. Did you have it converted or was it already converted when you bought it?

[@hikinginaleakyleftboot]

Hi. I bought the car & few years ago & then last year bought the camper unit to fit into it. It was a second hand one so half the price of a new unit from Chapel Motorhomes.

🎉really good video thanks ,but please speak slower I had to slow the video speed down 😂

[@hikinginaleakyleftboot]

I do speak fast, & mumble! I’ll try slow down for the next one!

Hi. I enjoyed your video! Could you please let me know if your zatooto magnetic curtains are advertised as the side curtains on Amazon? I would like to get some for the rear window of my Berlingo but can't find a specific set for rear windows. I'm assuming that you're using the side ones? Thanks!

[@hikinginaleakyleftboot]

Hi. Thank you! Yep, they’re called “ZATOOTO Side Window Sunshades for Car (2pcs)” on Amazon. They’re 72cm across at the top, 48cm length & 92cm across at the bottom. Fit the back window perfectly.

[@paulwarrilow1019]

Thanks a lot - that's really helpful! I'm heading off in my Berlingo for the first time on Sunday 😊

Hey Sham!

[@hikinginaleakyleftboot]

Hi Patrick! I hope you’re well!

[@piggy1049947]

What size is the bed please? - Both length and width? Thanks.

[@hikinginaleakyleftboot]

Hi. The bed cushions are 53cm wide at the top beside the unit & 62cm wide at the open end by the sliding door. Length is 142cm without the bed extension & 192cm with the extension laid out properly with both cushions.
