I can confirm, no folding caravans were hurt in the process of making this video 😂😂

Thanks will for featuring my little folding camper. Glad I striped it back to basics for you!! Really fun video 😊

Being my age, hearing 1986 being vintage is hard to grasp, but still a laugh at what we had back then😅

your next challenge ... horse drawn gyspy caravan ..😁😄😃🤣🤣🤣

I'm never going to ask you to help me build a flat pack piece of furniture after watching this😂😂😂. Great entertainment as always 👍

that's a genius design

You are so right Will! Your channel is all the better for having moved on from stealth camping and cooking food! You now have a real purpose to your channel and you seem to be happier as a result of it! Well done mate….keep doing what you are doing!

Oh Will & Ben.... LOL...completely. Not least leaving the clips inside the van. Crying with laughter. What a set up. A real insight into the past in every sense. The Jag was the perfect match. Big thank you to Mary too. The channel is superb!

LOL 😂 But what a brilliant mod job for 50 years ago. Absolutely loved it! Thanks Mary and Grandpa 😉

This was better than one of those carry on films. I've never laughed so much. Brilliant

Will,what an absolute genius coming up with this series. Best thing on KZfaq at the moment, we do hope no one tries to copy you. Can't wait for the next episode 😂😂

Back in the 70s, we had a small folding camper made by Apache. The top cranked up, and then you pulled the front and rear bunks out, and raised the tent support bars, and done. It was the size of the one seen here, when folded up, but with the bunks deployed, it slept 6, comfortably. Oh, yeah, never forget to lower the support legs. LOL Thanks for the video.

Will, this is the first video of yours that I've watched. I live in The States. Over here we have several companies that build "A frame" solid walled folding campers (caravans). You and your viewers might enjoy a Canadian camper's KZfaq channel. His channel's title is "Slim Potatohead". Slim owned a used Aliner folding camper for 4 or 5 years. He made numerous videos both of his travels and modifications he made to it. Slim finally decided to get a different caravan due to the Aliner's age. He now has a small fiberglass cube type of camper. Slim travels throughout Canada and the U.S. He usually "boondocks" (self-contained/off grid, no external electrical power) in state/provincial or national parks. Slim is a born tinkerer; customizing and improving his camper. I'm subscribing to your interesting channel. I hope i haven't inadvertently confused or insulted you or your followers with my "American" English. Mr Churchill observed that the Americans and the British were "Two peoples separated by a common language."😱😁

I enjoyed the video Will, but just a reminder the registration number you have on the back of the caravan is meant to match the car!!😂👍

Lol! You certainly make a meal out of what is quite simple to set up if you know Esterels. They are great caravans .Very entertaining video!

This was so cool to watch! Now I want a folding Setup😊

Hearing Ben laughing sets me off, great job chaps.

Will, can I suggest a video idea. Interviewing all the owners of the campers/vehicles you've camped in. The main question is "What's the story behind this camper / vehicle setup" It could be a compilation video with clips from different interviews

What an adorable little camper😊

We're got a 1990 Esterel "Top Volume" that has a sink, fridge, gas heating, Gas hob, Rock & Roll bed, all factory fitted. These little caravans are brilliant, pity this one isn't complete, you didn't get to see the whole potential of the kit.

This is a very peculiar (time) travel setup. More of these, please.👍

Excellent video and a BIG SHOUTOUT to Mrs MARY THISWEEK for the loan of the camper.

I used to live in Faymoreau, Vendee in France. One of my neighbours has had a pop-up caravan just like this, since he was in his 20's, he is in his 60's now and on a summers night or two he sleeps in it -he will never part with it- very unique experience indeed

Omg this video was hysterical. Just loved it. Felt sorry for you too, trying to get to the keys but it was so funny. Thought you were very clever putting it together and loved listening to your friend giggling away whilst filming you. Hope you get a better van next time! Lol . Xxx🤞🤞💜💜

I had a folding caravan in Australia, a bit bigger with a permanent double bed and a sitting/eating area that converted to another double bed. The previous owner only ever stayed in caravan parks, so he took out the gas and had a microwave and a single induction cooking plate. I added those Chinese disposable bottle gas burners, one for pots and a wok, and deep dish one for steaks and the like, or casseroles. They make a metal box for the single burners so that you can bake or do very small roasts. I also carried an antique Dutch oven and an enamel pot if we were going bush and having a campfire. It only weighed 800 kg so well within the towing capacity of many modern smaller cars.

You are a riot. Great comedic content! Loving your adventures and misadventures

Fantastic 🎉😂 folding/pop up love it !!!

I’m from the USA and we used to own a 1969 Colman pop up camper! I wish I had a picture of it! It was also a pain to put up!

Will your videos are helping me through a rough time, hope you continue to make these mate keep it up

Ah a great old giggle. I laughed so much. Ben had a good all laugh at the whole pack up scene. A great little camper.

Came across this video by chance, it reminds me so much of a folding caravan my dad made in the late 60’s/early 70’s. Only difference, ours had a plastic roof - could be argued it was a tent if the rate was cheaper for tents or the site as tents only.

If you are going to be using many caravans in the future a good battery powered drill, and the right bit makes putting the legs down a lot easier.

Yeeeeessss!!! I love it. Do Heaps of vintage cute tiny vans!!! Ive always wanted one. I would LOVE to see inside them. There was this one from the 1950s... a folding van, called the Propert folding van. I would LOVE to see that one.

Naughty boy not changing the number plate 🎉

Love the XJ40. Proper Jag that.

You are too funny. I get such a kick out of your reactions to things. Keep it up. I think you have found (for now) an excellent series. Way to go!1

What a classic.

Thanks for the good laugh at the end!

Loving this series 😍 ❤ ....very entertaining 😅...Let's see you set up a proper campsite 🏕 Tent! 🤗

I had one and it was brilliant, complete with underfloor heating as well. I towed it to weekend classic car shows behind our MGB Roadster.

Best holidays ever spent in an Esterel. It needs two for the quickest unfold and close. Birdy

Another entertaining video ! Great laugh and loved the Jag too ! Love all your trips !!! Be safe in your travels !

Okkkkkkkkaaaaayyyy!!! Since you had a rough start, I decided to subscribe to your channel. Such a fun video and a very different camper.

I used to spend the summer vacations with my dad and brother camping in a caravan like that (not that old, prolly late 90s but same brand). This Video revived a lot of beatiful memories, thanks for that :)

Loving these new videos, something I’d like to see maybe is a q&a withe owners and why they chose this vehicle, where they have been etc, best and worst bits things like this, but only if they are comfortable doing so I guess, but it’s so good seeing other types of vehicles ❤️💙

💖🌟 Many Merci for the great vibes Señor !!

The Jag is beautiful :)

Thanks so much.😊

One word Will, Hilarious ! 😂😂, got to be the funniest of this new series.

Perfect to top off my Sunday. Thanks!

wow that Jag is beautiful!!!!

Hi Will, love the Jag by the way, that mini trailer caravan would be ignoring setting it up in the rain, but it is sweet and cosy inside, it keeps you dry, which is a bonus, great video Will, thank you xxxx

Absolutely loved this video will im really enjoying the new video series so many unique campers looking forward to the next one 👍

Brilliant video, very entertaining as always! Very well put together too. Love the old westys absolutely beautiful

Bloody brilliant 😂

Excellent setup Will! You get to sleep comfy AND cruise in style in a Jag!

First time here, 65 living in my 30 ft, sleeps 9......Dec 2005 build Coachman Camper, my truck is a January 2005 build. They belong together.😊. Hilarious vlog. Being born in Warrington England....was a pleasant view. Thank you

All the inconvenience of towing a caravan *with* all the inconvenience of setting up a large tent. I won't say "brings back good memoriees", but "memories" certainly. Gorgeous thing, though!

Aww... he's adorable!

I remember back in the day 7 of us used to go camping in a folding trailer tent and it was brilliant, watching you putting that caravan up was comedy gold!!! I love these videos mate. ❤

I was literally crying at the end LOL

I really liked my old folding caravan, nice and speedy on the motorway!

Watching this made me think of a trailmanor camper. It’s a folding camper with a shower and tub and toilet. It is a hard side camper and I think it’s easier to set up.

I love the Jag. I love old cars!! Just found your channel. You crack me up!!

Absolutely love your grandad’s Jag. It’s perfect. Another great video. You are so funny. ❤️ from NY and southern Ontario

You did the right move showing others camping rigs , gotta keep the content fresh and i agree on boring same old videos , cant just show the same rig in different spots , that will get old fast , but watching you set up others campers is fun to watch and amusing when things go wrong , this was my first time here and look forwward to seeing more of your videos , great job 👍👍

A few years ago i had an estelle was bigger than this one but all works the same had a wardrobe and 2 doubles inside with the kitchen unit. Was bloody brilliant so easy to tow. Great video mate take care

LOL i remember when i was about 8 or 9 and a family member had one and it collapsed during the night, it rained and they got so wet while we were all cosy in our caravan .brought back childhood memories .

The videos recently are brilliant just can't wait for you to post keep it up 🙏

Need to bring these back

Foxes shagging 😂 had me in stitches… I could just imagine it!

Too hilarious!😂 It's such a cute little set up!

Thanks for sharing the video

Another cracking video - made us laugh - Cest tres Bon - have a wonderful week, all the best, David & Rachel 👍

Brilliant as always Will. Have you ever considered doing more static camping like log cabins, tree houses or even better haunted houses. :)

I don't know about the Esterrele.,however the cassita is relatively easy to erect etc. When towing compared to a caravan of similar weight the ease of towing was very much noticeable!

Nice one Wilburforce, loving the new videos Daddio, good to see you enjoying yourself and creating new content. Take care Papa Shango!

Always nice to see home in a youtube video, Bedfordshire born and proud 💪

Your videos really put a laugh on my face everytime, not matter what the outcome of the video is, you're just a comedic character!

Need to see one of those caravan tents next!

This is fantastic

You need to do a gypsy caravan my friend, that's the ultimate van to try, proper Romany.... pulled by a horse naturally... make it so number 1

Absolutely hilarious. You certainly get a work out using this caravan. 😂😂

Well I hate to say this......but this episode completely wore me OUT!!!!! Oh my Lord.....I would have half way thru torched it all and hitched a ride home~!!!!! I commend you for your patience and stable mindedness. I think I put in another episode about you doing a VW camper van. Hope you can find one to show.

Loved this.😊

Gorgeous Jag ❤

Back to giggling at Wills videos 😂, more needed 👍

Best one yet. Really enjoyed it. Comedy value amazing.

A little bit of wisdom knocked in to by scouts alway be prepared thanks video😱🤣😂

Well done, Will. I must say when you were trying to use the hob, i was going "he's going to blow himself up" LOL.

Oh my days, the flat pack camper on wheels. Love it…❤

This is the best and funniest video of the series so far! 😃🤣😉 Well done. 😃👍

Will, i haven't laughed so much in ages. Thanks. Nice that you have Ben to keep you company too.😉👍

What a wild set up ! Thanks for sharing sir !

Loved it ❤

That was comedy gold Will watching you struggling to retrieve those pins 😂. Great vid though bud.

Love the fact you didn’t bother with a reg plate for the trailer to match the Jag 😂

Oh this brought back memories of every caravan trip we ever did with my parents 🤣 and we didn't even have a folding one! Something was always in the wrong place, not working, broken and on the rare occasions everything was in order my dear mother was worrying about the gas! And yet, I still camp 🤔

What a nice cute caravan 😅 • watching from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺

Thanks Will..another good one 👍
