How many people can you comfortably fit in your camper? And which one is it?
following.
If you're on a hookup, a small oil filled radiator and a timer-adaptor is great (safer and quieter than a fan and element type).
Whoever made the remark about needing half the clothes and twice the booze pretty much nailed it.
On a less alcoholic note, fitting a decent sized solar panel is a great idea. We haven't had the van hooked up at all since getting it six weeks ago. Have used it few times in very cold temperatures and it's still showing as almost fully charged.
Pop-top down- quieter
This is especially good at music festivals
Crocs are great for nipping out to the toilet block
yep, sorry, but yep
Anyone got any recommendations for a good USB lamp? Our ceiling mounted LEDs are a bit too bright for chilling out but battery run fairy lights are too dim for reading.

Nope. Sliders. Still not cool (unless you're 14 or a Premiership footballer), but not quite as tragic as Crocs.
Does anyone have a link for a semi flexible solar panel set up?

For those that have asked, we've bought this Wellhouse
..
We've already started to look at Airbeam Awnings, as we are planning some longer (static) trips Awning
..
Finally, given the general poor security of the transit, alarm (cat 1) plus steering wheel lock are also on the list.
..
We won't get it unitl mid-April, although I own the van now. Wellhouse so far have been excellent to deal with.
Dropped our Traffic off at The Camper Buddy http://www.thecamperbuddy.co.uk this morning for conversion. Will be a step up from our previous day van+ Vivaro, so this thread has been quite timely. Colour coded interior madness on its way...

We use these usb charged lights in the van. Ideal with variable power/light settings, can clip where you want and can be used as a torch on the midnight toilet run. Ideal as a reading/activity light once the kids are sleeping and don't need to use the main lights.

Any recommendations on the dehumidification? Using the little "internal"use once dehumidifiers but needing something a bit more effective in the damper weather...
Got any vents in the van.
Many people seal their vans up and then wonder why they have humidity issues.
Just like in your house you need an airflow to keep the humidity down when you have many humans in a small space all emitting moisture.
My van doesn't have any humidity issues even in winter. Sky light has trickle vents that do the trick.
Yeah, we have window deflectors in the front, so those windows are always open a tad, and the rear tailgate is open and locked to the 'latch', if that makes sense, so there's some airflow through the van
We have wind deflectors and crack windows, usually sufficient but through winter a bit more chalenging with trying to balance keeping the heat in and preventing drafts. Also much more moisture about from footwear/clothes etc.
Yeah I've never found cracking the windows to be all that effective or controlable. Tends to circulate air round the cab only.
I have a vented roof light in the roof at the front and rear of the van which does a good job of keeping the moisture down even when we are 5 people inside at the strathpuffer and. It's -14 outside +20 insure.
(By moisture down I mean I have a hygrometer/thermometer bolted to the side of a cabinet so keep an eye on these things -it never got above 80 that night. Typical summer day seems to be about 65 . Cold damp winter night with no heater on can be 100.)
I just lock my T6 via the button on the driver's door.

That’s what I’ve been doing, but it’s really difficult to reach it from the back.

Nice, when will it be ready?

More of the folding variety, however I’ve got one of these for the boat/s which works well enough to charge devices. Will be looking to get another folding solar panel for this year from the same peeps who were very helpful and knowledgeable with all my questions

Mid-March. It's not a 6 week job, but he's a couple of hours away from us so we've left it with him. There's a bit of a lead time on pop tops for the new shape Traffic apparently.
