Jason appears to be extremely genuine person and all of the investors have been really kind and honest with him I wish him all the luck.

[@LakesLee]

Sara and Touker are very clever, how can the other dragons not see how much the camper/day van community has grown over the last few years. It is a massively growing business, great idea fella, chapeau 👏🏻

[@HDsharp]

What is the difference between his camper van conversion business and many others? That's the issue.

And the price of conversion is absurdly low.

Because he’s a nobody and is jealous of Touker. Touker is worth 300 mill while he’s worth about 30 mill 😂😂😂

What a cool idea! I looked on the website - and the idea is that the camping seats and table completely fold away, so you can actually unfold the passenger seats and hold 5 people!

[@TheVanderfulLife]

I've converted my 2008 Toyota Yaris in to a camper. I did remove the rear seats for extra head height/storage for my paddleboard but got a single bed, lots of storage, cooking facilities. In the wheel well I lined it with insulation and even in the height of summer this area kept cool enough to keep butter and cheese etc.

Already exists, many companies do it... The point here is that for micros, the companies doing it are all tiny entities like this one. For bigger vans there's Evo Motion Design. With the right brand, guidance and marketing, they could become the Evo Motion of micro campers. :)

@@ketovoreking5440there are various news stories about it, including one from the BBC which explains why. Lots of reasons - false claims, complicated ownership structures, and (most simply) both sides have a better think and decide to pull out.
