The Best Camper / Day Van Setup Possible?! Plus Twinkling Star Headlining On The HSTL. Made Van

Full disclaimer, I love this van. In fact I think this is my favourite set up EVER! If there are just two people or maybe two and a couple of dogs, this layout works so well!

Love the lay out so much I’m picking a u shaped layout from Van Furniture soon. Can’t wait. My kids are a bit older now, so I agree with you, it’s the best way to go. Great work as always

[@aberdeenal3234]

The attention to detail in and on this van is fantastic - I'm not surprised it's your favourite - well done!

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you :)

[@ragestunts6990]

That head lining is stunning. Great work chaps!

[@THQAutomotive]

Yeah, 100% doing it in my own van next 😝

[@ilovewasdale]

Absolutely love it, just what I envisaged for our van whenever it might come. Perfect for just the two of us. Keeping it simple. Thanks for making the video.

[@THQAutomotive]

Glad it was useful 😊

[@graemeanderson-n9g]

very street robust cool looks to this van...and great practical inside..classily elevated with that star-o rama ceiling.

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you. This was 2 years ago but it's still my favour camper lay out

Absolutely awesome, T. HQ nailed it...

Holy shooting stars!! Amazing work.

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you for your kind words

[@Paul-ue8tn]

Makes a refreshing change to see alternative ideas as opposed to going down the same old safe Roch n Roll bed set up route. A U shaped layout offers maximum lounge ability. I had an IH motorhome with a rear u shaped lounge and you can't beat for comfort.

[@THQAutomotive]

Yeah it's my favourite lay out for sure

[@empowerd1]

I like the fact that's the absolute stealth ❤.. you can take a sleeping brake everywhere.. in the city center, near the nightclub and in the harbour

[@THQAutomotive]

@@empowerd1 yep, it's a great set up

[@garethglover]

Best one I’ve seen. Like to see what the shower option that was added.

[@ommapiepenbrink]

Best camper conversion I've seen by now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you 🙌

[@alessandroizzo2366]

Defenately missing the pop up ceiling 😏 and not having the possibility to load bags and longer things from the back is also not functional …. But that s a personal choice or need . Otherwise well done 👍

[@empowerd1]

​@@alessandroizzo2366not an issue for two persons as was mentioned at the beginning.

What is the maximum depth the small lights can be in the halo (connected to door switch)? Would the light from the halo strip be sufficient enough to be the only lighting in a camper set up? Thanks in advance and thanks for the great videos.
