Van Tour - Billy Berlingo

[@andreamacgillivray3653]

Thank you. Lovely video with plain speaking and no shouting etc., Would love one of these vans. Best wishes

[@BushmanOutdoors]

That’s a really nice setup. I like the idea of having a camper that you can also daily drive and this would be perfect

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks 😁 We love this little camper setup

[@garykeighley712]

That’s amazing what a great design 👍

[@ptradventures2262]

I absolutely love this, new friend here

[@jacobduffin8944]

This actually sick mate, hard to find a design for a micro camper that will sleep me, as im 6ft4, and had a pull out kitchen

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks 😊 I can’t take the credit for the design, but I absolutely love this set up. Check out amdro.co.uk 👍

[@shelleyaundrews5124]

That’s very cool! And great video bro xx 👍🏻

[@leeaundrews]

Cheers Shell, been meaning to make this video for quite a while but always too nervous on camera (as you can tell in the video haha). I’m sure I’ll get better with practice ☺️

[@shelleyaundrews5124]

Lee Aundrews I watch KZbin all the time and I thought it was very professional. I didn’t think you sounded nervous. You sounded good. Not common like me haha!! Xxx

[@Chris391971]

Nice one. I wondered what the boot jump 2020 was like (I’ve got the older model)

[@leeaundrews]

Chris Waistle Thanks 😁 we’ve had had it for almost a year now and loving it. I like having the gas stove and the slightly different loungey seats 👍

[@daniellorenzo3190]

Muy linda .de las mejores que vi.🥇

[@camperunterwegs]

Awesome! Waiting for more videos to come, just subbed 👍 Big hi from camper unterwegs 🚐🧚🏼‍♀️

[@leeaundrews]

Awesome, thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m planning on making more very soon 🤙

[@Fabia972]

Hey, lovely and very informative video! I am considering buying exactly this model boot jump. Since it’s on the pricier side of the camping boxes, I want to make sure if fits my needs perfectly. I love that you can access the boxes below the cushions by lifting them up. Now here’s my question: can you do the same on the left side to access the stove? I could imagine that to be practical when it’s rainy and you want to cook up a quick tea inside! All the best x

[@leeaundrews]

Thank you for your comment 🙂 there is no access from under the left side cushions. This is the one thing I would change for the same reason you are thinking. It may be a modification I make myself in the future, and if I do I’ll make a video about it. You can remove the stove from the shelf, and I’ve done this a few times to use inside in bad weather, but is a bit of a pain to slide the whole drawer out each time.

[@Fabia972]

Awesome, I love these kind of modification videos :) I will subscribe and see what you come up with eventually 😊

[@jakeroadtonowhere4070]

That’s got to be the best one I’ve seen was that expensive?

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks for the comment, it is a brilliant bit of kit. It was around £2000 for the boot jump when we bought ours. Check out www.amdro.co.uk for the latest prices

[@CosgroveNotts]

Wish I'd bought this now

[@leeaundrews]

It’s awesome 😁 it’s way higher quality than I could have made myself, worth every penny

[@matttaylor1431]

Hi, great video. I plan to do a similar thing with my berlingo (12 mulrispcae model) and just wanted to ask if you add any insulation, or did you find it was warm enough just as it was? I know most minicampers do add insulation but most start off as pannel vans. Thanks in advance for your help!

[@leeaundrews]

Hi 👋, I haven't added any insulation and don't find it too bad, but do wear warm clothes and use a nice warm sleeping bag. We have also got a Jackery portable battery and have just found a mini fan heater that will work with it. Once I've tested it out I may make another video to review it

[@matttaylor1431]

@@leeaundrews Hi, Excellent, thank you so much for the reply! Have also just been looking at the Jackery, would you reccomend one of them too? what option do you go for?

[@leeaundrews]

@@matttaylor1431 the Jackery has been great for us. We have the 500w version and is more than enough for our use. Mainly used for fairy lights we use to light the van and charging phones, watches, camera batteries, laptop etc. If you want to use a kettle or heater then I would need to get the bigger version.

[@matttaylor1431]

@@leeaundrews thanks again for the advice, thats all really useful!

[@inesmo1304]

Well done 👍

[@kajakmannen1666]

Looks very nice, but vhere do you store the fridge (if needed)?

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks 😊 we have a mini electric cool box and a larger one too. Neither of them fit very well anywhere. Tend to put them in the foot well when travelling, then move them around wherever there's space. Not the best solution but haven't been able to find an affordable small fridge. Tend to try and not take anything that needs to stay chilled - most trips are only for a night or two so doesn't cause much of a problem

[@edenbreckhouse]

Outdoor kitchens are great for that one day a year when it's not freezing, pissing down or blowing a gale.

[@leeaundrews]

In a small van your options are fairly limited, although it’s never really been an issue for me. I’ve spent a lot of time out in this van and there have been surprisingly few times when the weather was that bad. When it is, I can either use the boot tent that fits over the tailgate, or take the stove out of the drawer and use it inside.

[@khfjvc4632]

Lets be honest....we have a lot of lovely days too.

[@Gee4747]

Thanks for reply

[@volt8684]

Mines called Barry and is a mark 1 1600 petrol also have type of boot jump. Lovely vehicles. Urs is fab thanks for showing it. How tall are you please at 6’1” i am slightly cramped when trying to sleepis it the xl

[@leeaundrews]

Excellent name 👍 I’m only 5’4” so plenty of room for me 🤣 but the bed does measure 6’4” so pretty roomy. This is the standard length Berlingo so the XL could have a little more room

[@volt8684]

@@leeaundrews thanks for the reply. May i ask which engine you have and if its the petrol how do you find it. Love a new shape one but eyewatering prices atm

[@leeaundrews]

It’s a 1.6 diesel - I’ve never driven the earlier model Berlingo but have been told this new shape is nicer to drive

[@eddie1273]

Great video, I'm looking to get a Berlingo next year and have it converted (my DIY skills are pretty bad !!) I see yours is the newer model, these look slightly bigger ? I'm wandering if it's worth paying a bit more to get the latest shape.

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks 😄 I absolutely love our Berlingo! I’ve never been inside the older model so can’t really compare but I believe the internal space is pretty much exactly the same, maybe a couple inches wider. I’ve been told the new model is nicer to drive though. I don’t think you can go wrong with whichever model you get, it’s so much fun having a micro camper 👍

[@rebeccagilmore8878]

Great video 👍 I'm wanting a camper myself and would be interested to know what made you go for this set up rather than a fully fitted van? It's looking like a very viable option 🤞

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks 🙌😁 this is our first camper van and didn’t want to commit to a full van until we were sure we would get enough use out of it, and to figure out exactly what we do/don’t need in a camper. We mostly wild camp so also wanted something less obvious than a bigger van, but as it turns out we would be fine. When we’re on a camp site we have got a boot tent that gives you a standing area and use a tent style electric hookup. As it’s also our only vehicle, it’s been nice to have the comfort and ease to drive of a new car with all the mod cons.

[@rebeccagilmore8878]

@@leeaundrews Thanks Lee. Yeah a full van is a big commitment. Whatever I get will be my only vehicle too so this looks really promising and as you say it's weighing up the usage etc. Today's lockdown activity may well be perusing Berlingos! Cheers for replying 😀

Hi Lee. Good idea is this Amdro. Could you tell me the size of the laid out bed please? Thx, Steve.

[@leeaundrews]

It is a great little camper unit 😁. The bed measures 1930mm / 6’4”. Hope that helps 👍

[@petergoodman8378]

Hi, Lee. I see you have the rear seats still installed and I know that is the benefit of the Amdro. I would want to take the rear seats out and use the space for a Porta Potti or such. [Elderly bladder!] Would this compromise the operation and use of the Amdro? Many thanks, Peter 🐨

[@leeaundrews]

Hi. The Amdro is designed to rest on the back of the seats when they are folded but I’m sure they make an optional leg extension (or you could make one) for use without seats. This is how the previous version worked with the earlier model Berlingo. Hope this helps 😁

[@petergoodman8378]

@@leeaundrews Thank you, Lee. I appreciate that.🐨

[@TheYorkshireTourist]

Looks awesome! I have a similar set up, what did you use to stick the fairy lights up with?

[@leeaundrews]

Thanks 😁 We’ve tried a few different methods, latest one uses small folding clips/bulldog clips with the folding part pushed between the plastic trim... works ok but may try something else soon. Will make a video as have also added curtains for the cabin and a makeshift toilet too

[@TheYorkshireTourist]

@@leeaundrews ah ok cool! I was toying with the idea of cable grips the type that go on skirting boards haha

The wooden structure, cushions, gas stove, storage boxes and blackout blinds are all part of the Amdro Bootjump 2020 - off the shelf from www.amdro.co.uk

[@bartomiej3001]

how long is the bed and how tall are you?

[@leeaundrews]

Hi, I'm only 5ft 4" but the bed is 6ft 4" long

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Not sure about the safety of those loose gas canisters. Did you put in a drop vent?

[@CosgroveNotts]

Nice to see you know what you are talking about lol

[@leeaundrews]

@cardinal biggles - the canisters are sat in a recessed part of that drawer and when closed they are boxed in on all sides, so aren’t going anywhere. They are only backpacking canisters that aren’t connect to anything when in transit so extremely low chance of any leaks - no drop vent needed. If you had bought some gas at an outdoor shop you wouldn’t install a drop vent just to take them home...
