He has kept this vehicle going for over forty years. It purrs like a lion and he kept all the old parts. It still looks new. I salute you sir!!!!!

Oh and he added new tech on top of that!

I enjoyed this very much. No boring intros, no annoying music, nothing more than exactly what it is. Very beautiful home. ❤

Thanks, maybe someone will recognize the younger version of me 😀

[@suzannetai132]

Genius layout. The lounging and sleeping mode are so versatile with many ways of setting it up to cater to our needs. Good height of this vehicle too so we don't have to hunch or stoop low moving around inside. Sink and stove are compact too. Real genius. Kudos! Well done! Cheers and safe journeys always!

This is how vehicles should be built. Simple, affordable and not over-teched with electronics and useless junk

Thanks.

[@crxdelsolsir]

Wow you Sir are not only an ambassador to DIY and Camper community but also more importantly I think to the Environment. You have made great memories with this vehicle (proven by your pictures) and yet still kept this vehicle in a condition that never aged if not younger (put more life into it). If only people had the same mind set and treated equipment with respect and motivation to repair, refurbish and not just see them as throw away, judged by market value (not useful value) we would have not only a better world, but more affordable machines with many still existing, being passed on after our use (like the generations before us passing on taken cared of and treated as non throw away things) like this. Thank you for sharing and hope it went to great home treated like you did. I wish you well with your health good Sir.

[@VolvoLaplanderCamper]

Thanks a lot.

[@gavincutler8889]

Yeah this looks ideal. I keep looking at “camper vans” but most of them seem to aspire to be a boutique hotel on wheels. Each to their own, but to me camping has an element of improvisation. Gotta love the polystyrene shades!

[@VolvoLaplanderCamper]

They are only use when sleeping in cold night for less condensation.

[@lisaphares2286]

I think these shades would work way better than the thin double sided reflecting insulation van lifers use. And it probably works as sound insulation.

[@falkerjones8249]

I can only imagine how tough this would have been to sell. I'd imagine the new owner will treasure it. Great video!

[@VolvoLaplanderCamper]

It sold by health reson.

[@hgj2019]

@@VolvoLaplanderCamper sadly I have been going through the same thing. Health issues and advancing years demand that I sell or give away things, and travel has become difficult, no longer the joy it once was. My hope is that the new owners will treasure these things as I have.🙂

The tolerances and the precision are perfect! The bed options show how much thought went into this. Also, the engine is running very smoothly for such an old vehicle.

Honestly, one of the best, well- thought out kitchen, bed, eating area combos I've ever seen. So smart!

It reminds me of the old Volkswagen campers of the 1960s and 1970s only larger. But our Volkswagen camper couldn't go that fast and didn't come with a bucket. 😅 Wishing you many happy times.

What an amazing camper van! After 30 years it must have been difficult to sell (but maybe also difficult to maintain). I wish Volvo would make more like it; more basic design to last longer.

[@karl1677x]

I love the simplicity! It just proves that this can be done on a budget! Great job, great camper! I wish you many happy km!

[@SeepreeAiyer-z6t]

Best mobile home I have ever seen. I loved his toilet. Made me laugh so much. I was also smiling as he showed so many options to create a place to rest or sleep. The bigger the mobile home, the scarier it looks & uninviting to live in. You want a mobile home, why drag a huge proper home all over the roads! Travel light should be the motto. You can't live without washing machine, proper kitchen, beds, T. V. etc., travel via train or bus or plane & rent a room in a motel or whatever. Don't waste fuel on traveling in huge mobile homes! 😊

[@VolvoLaplanderCamper]
