The van setup looks ideal for someone who'd go out once every so often in their van for a camp out, but I don't think works for anything regular, its too spartan. As for the heater, I was practically screaming about the noise, so glad you mentioned it too!

[@hotsonaj]

That noise would do my head in

[@mrp7555]

Yeah poor for the price.

[@jaynekittycat9252]

Cooker for me is a no no. You can't regulate the heat. Listening to that heater while watching this video, was like having permanent TINNITUS, in your ear. ❤😂

52000 knicker, er, I thought van life was meant to be affordable? I’m living in my tiny beautiful caravan, £3500. Double bed, fridge, gas cooker, sink, toilet etc. Happy as a pig in mud! Great review but I think it’s a no from me 😊❤

What more do you need

[@ericvwgolf1999]

Will, I love your videos and how in-depth you go with the reviews. As an American, I am jealous of how much European mfrs can pack into a smaller vehicle. Would love to see more content from you, but not at the expense of your health. I will continue to follow you and look forward to your future work. If it helps your self esteem and confidence, I think you're a bright young man with a good perspective and thoughtful reviews. Probably at least a LITTLE more handsome than you STRICTLY need to be, but no complaints from me on that.

[@611Rog]

Hi Will. Great video as usual. Being a Devonian by birth, i have to tell you that you actually spent the night in the car park below Houndtor not Haytor. (think of the hound of the baskervilles). Anyway, you were very brave, as the infamous Jays grave is just down the road, and legend has it that she roams the roads at night, and has been seen by many motorists. There are always fresh flowers on her grave, but no one knows who puts them there. Prefer your van to the one that were in this video, and was surprised that a new van of this size did not have any toilet facilities. Years ago i had an old Bedford camper which slept 4 and had a shower /toilet , fridge, oven, grill, hot water boiler and a built in gas fire all in a similar size van to this one. Maybe, if you can find one still running, you could try a night in it. Mine was a 1979 model.

[@slippyu1]

I have several Jays Grave stories I could tell, along with Berry Pomeroy Castle 🥹😂

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Well I’m glad I didn’t know about this until afterwards or I might not have done it 😂. Thanks for the info and I would love to get hold of a Bedford, I think that would be a great camper

[@slippyu1]

@@WillsWhereabouts Dartmoor is owned by the Dutchy so its all ( mostly ) private property which means its like the National Trust. I have been kicked off the Moor before for flying 😂 We used to have a 20 year old Talbot camper, it was brilliant. So much fun apart from no power steering 😂. There must be one available somewhere 👍

[@611Rog]

@@WillsWhereabouts It is possible to stay on a small campsite at the Plume of Feathers pub in Princetown. I think more country pubs should try and provide this service. It would keep them in business and the campers could quite happily have a few beers, and not have to worry about driving.

I do prefer you in those trousers,especially when you are wrestling with the passenger seats. Good to see that you didn't abuse the disabled parking bays even though you were desperate for the toilets.

[@pluckyrichmax]

The cooker heater combo is very clever, but also very noisy.

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Yea that was the biggest downside for me

[@notaclue]

If you’re opening / closing a pop top always open one of the side doors to equalise the air pressure 👍

[@LivingRetirement]

That stove is LOUD!!!! Would drive me nuts. Also: Is there any way to regulate the heat down if you need to simmer instead of boil or fry?

[@mikeklinger1712]

Van was lovely, but that noise would def aggravate my hearing... good idea, but needs improvement me thinks... 😊

[@thewildcampolians]

Me and my mate Dylan were wild camping there this weekend. Dartmoor never gives you two days of weather that are the same. Those wind speeds are a little different in a tent, I must say. Hope you had a good time down there. Keep up the good work with the entertaining videos Will.

[@WillsWhereabouts]

The winds were so bad even in a van, I can’t imagine in a tent hah

[@cyrax360]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I very much enjoy the quirky camper videos in particular. However, these videos are a refreshing in their own right. Please keep doing what you're doing. Cheers. Also, if you don't cut off the root of the onion and continue cutting up the veg then there's a good chance you won't cry as much as you'd have during your previous videos. Also if you cut it in half and soak the pieces in water then that helps immensely as well.

[@catherineferguson7388]

Hi Will, that camper van looks smart on the outside, very catchy, still very pricey. It wouldn’t cost that much if you designed it yourself. For that price you would expect a bathroom, don’t think I could sleep with that noisy heater on all night. I wouldn’t live in it. Holiday van only I reckon. Thank you Will, it’s good information to know when looking for an ideal camper van. What to get and what not to get. All the best ✌️🤟🏼👍🥰

Its a common hob they use in boats as a heater as well. Not so much for campers.

[@phil_hallam]

I stayed 15mins up the road from there at Finlake Holiday Resort last week. It was really windy last Tuesday (60mph winds). It's a great part of the UK to visit. We've been twice in the last 6 months.

[@phil_hallam]

@@WillsWhereabouts We visited Dartmouth and Blackpool Sands beech whilst we were down there. Google it! It's a beautiful beach.

Hi watch your channel everyweek as a family of 4 we have had 2 tents 2 caravans and 2 camper vans and the price of camping on sites now is going up as they like to charge per person as a family of 4 this makes it as cheap sometimes to stay in a cheap hotel chain. The price of hire of camper is also not budget friendly in school holidays everything gose up in price we wild camp and love it so thought at this time of year when families are looking at options and budgets it might be good to !!!!! 1 buy a budget camper 2000 ish use for a week or two and resell and get your money back so essential you get your accommodation for free on resale. 2 hire a box van or similar and kit out with camping gear air beds camp chairs all on budget and wild camp compairing price to camper rental. Im always one for a adventure and to think out of the box the 1st time we slept in our van it was on cushions from couch used a camp stove and loved it so did kids. Now we built our van and have everything ie toilets shower oven fixed beds for 4. If I didn't have it i would defo go try one of these ideas for a budget friendly holiday and when I was younger and didn't have kids still think doing this with friends would have been amazing fun (just an idea)

[@Slikx666]

Will. Just a quick question about where you parked, are you sure that was Haytor out the window and not Hound Tor? 🤔 The reason I ask is the carpark you were in seems to be in the wrong place. If I'm right then you were only 1.5 miles away from Heytor at ( 50°35'56"N 3°46'56"W ) not that it matters that much anyway. 🧐 On the subject of mental health it takes a lot of courage to ask for help and if anyone has an issue with ' Better help ' then think about if it's more important getting the help or not. I'd say getting help is more important. If the video was recorded 18th April then the weather would have been lovely. 😀
