Basecamp Berlingo - Low Cost Car Camp Setup!

Рет қаралды 16,155

Overview of my 2008 Citroen Berlingo car camping setup. Now affectionately known as "Camp Berlingo", I use this fairly cheap and basic setup as a base from which to go hillwalking. Not a luxury experience, but is fit for purpose with 16 nights completed so far during this Autumn and early Winter here in the UK.
On this site, I have an electric hook-up, but can go for three nights off-grid using a powerbank I made using an old ammo can and 192Wh LifePO4 battery.

Hi Gary, Love the video and your setup. The only problem is that you have whetted my appetite to get out into the country but in doing so you have cost me a small fortune ya bugger! 😂😂 I bought a bigger van and have started to buy the kit I need like gas and electric cookers, kettles, toasters, portapotti, folding chairs and table, large and medium electric cool boxes, disco bunk beds, battery and electric lights etc, looking to buy a gorilla gazebo next. Just wait until I bump into you sir!! Seriously though, thanks for all your cb and camping videos my friend, you make it so easy looking and achievable. Don't have the money for a campervan so my mwb Merc Traveliner will have to do. Please keep the videos coming bud as they are a great distraction from all the crap getting flung at us now! Take care Gary. Cheers, Sky. 🇮🇲🇮🇲

Worth every penny if it gets us away from what's going on in this World! All the best!

Great little set up, I have a Peugeot partner I removed the rear seats for more room. I love my little adventures. Stay safe happy travels.

Thanks - it's working out well! Seats out in mine too but nowhere to store them, so currently stacked-up in the corner of the living room! Cheers.

Probably up around 40 nights away in it since last Autumn and it's doing the job! Cheers.

That's why I gonna invest in a rooftop tent 😀

@104s_Unplugged 22 күн бұрын

RTTs are Ok for an overnight I guess, but it's basically a bunk bed and rather a cumbersome thing to have on the roof. Clamshell the best I reckon, but might as well pitch a tent next to the vehicle and save a heap of cash. Each to their own though. Cheers.

Hi I also have a berlingo I use as a camper I mainly stealth camp, give me a sub and see what I do. These vehicles are so versatile ans we all have different set ups

@104s_Unplugged 7 ай бұрын

It's a pretty good motor - I can just pull all the stuff out of the back in a few minutes and it then becomes a vehicle I can transport furniture and take stuff to the tip in. Cheers.

Sorry but it looks like torture....

As is often said, "all folks be different". Some like posh hotels, sitting on a beach in hot weather or perhaps enjoy large social gatherings but, to me, those activities would be torture. For me, walking the hills of Wales, often in bad weather, and then coming back to my own little space and hunkering down for the night is heaven.
