Hi Tina we also were tent campers and then upgraded to an Amdro boot jump. It was really good for me but my husband is over 6 foot and it was too small for him to sit comfortably. We then went on to Madge our motorhome and last year changed to our Wildax Pulsar. It fits all our current needs and at 5.4m is easy enough to park. It is my everyday vehicle. We still have our Peugeot partner teepee but just use it as a car now. I do like your Chapel conversion and will have a look at your video. Take care Gill

Got a berlingo and not convinced of boot jump, this is what I needed

Thank you for your video I have just ordered to have a boot jump made for my Suzuki grand vitara

Thanks for content, very helpful. Just found your channel and subbed, a fan already!

Now you’re teasing us with the ‘watch this space..’ comments. Intriguing! I have a chapel hybrid conversion and it’s perfect for me. However I still haven’t sorted the ‘ a place for everything..’ situation. Not as much storage as you have in the double. I don’t know how you manage with 3 of you in a Berlingo. You must be very organised- specially on long trips. Look forward to hearing more about your plans and hope all 3 of you are on the mend. Jan.

Great Video Tina.Hope you are both doing well and look forward to seeing your adventures this year.

Thanks Tina for the great videos, I’ve used a lot of your tips and tricks for my own conversion - all your videos are very helpful. Love that you compare too openly. I have built my own l shape but completely agree, being able to live in the van as such, get changed etc makes a huge difference, and travelling alone haha. Hopefully catch you at a meet up this year 😊 take care

I started with a boot jump too. I found it too faffy and did not always enjoy cooking outside it’s really a fair weather set up,after watching you get on with the chapel units I started looking at this upgrade- they built me one like yours only with a single bed ( there’s only me!) & I absolutely love it - it’s changed everything for the better even a day out is great I can get in out of the rain/ sun/ hail/ wind / get my boots off & a brew on. When I’m ready to change I will look at the nv200 like carol & ken had it looks to have a tad more space and a pop top would be nice. Happy travels ❤

Such a great informative video, thank you 🙏

What a lovely informative video. You 3 make me smile and I enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing and Congratulations on your great granddaughter. Many more happy videos to come I hope.❤😅

We have the bootjump set up and the only things i find tricky is finding space for everything so the key is organisation! Cooking outside when the weather is bad can be a faff... overall for what we paid we enjoy the boot jump system. We mostly off grid, we would love a chapel conversion, the only thing that may worry me is leaving in a hurry in an emergency due to the drivers seat being fully folded down. I wonder if you're planning any more modifications to your system!? You inspired us to get our boot jump! Hopefully you'll continue to enjoy buddy intrigued what other set ups you may consider.....looking forward to seeing more of your travels soon. we are off to mull in April.

Very interesting…thanks ❤

Delighted to come across this video, answered so many questions that I’ve been needing. Currently scanning auto-trader/gumtree for the perfect berlingo multi space to suit my partner and I, plus the wee dog. Aiming to travel europe which means MPG and reliability is what means the most to us. I currently have a landrover discovery 2 which is semi converted but similar to your old Volkswagen it is starting to become more of an expense than a hobby. I was 100% sure I wanted a boot jump but your set up looks amazing and definitely considering similar. Quality video!!

I hope you’re back on the road soon, really enjoyed watching your adventures

great vid ,showing off both systems ,maybe have to flick a coin both have there merits 😁

Thank you for this Tina, I am really enjoying poking my nose into your business.

Great video❤

Hi Tina have you thought of reducing the height of the kitchen by half and having a fold down worktop for you kitchen counter and then running a storage cuboard up high along the back side to side. This way you could use up the extra space at the back for you bed set up.

Enjoy your videos Tina 😊

Great point about being able to do everything with the doors closed. I would add that being able to take the cooker, sink, prep surfaces and eating furniture outside when the weather and location allows is also important. These fixed designs are not ideal.

Great comparison Tina and happy Camping

Thanks for sharing your journey - very interesting back story Not seen a boot jump concept - amazing what you can do and what you now have Great video I think you do amazing in that size as I don’t think we could …. I guess the question is would you change it Take care guys

Very interesting. We have a VW transporter (T5) now and are getting some work done on the pop up top and bed so we can camp in it. Our issue is that we still need it be a builders' works van so can't lose floor space as we lug tools about. I suspect for our first camping trip it will just be a roof bed and we will exchange boxes of tools for boxes of camping gear!

Great video guys, I feel your pain with a certain facebook page. They sent me a warning too after removing my Self Build videos. So many groups I'm on want all the information I share & the group members appreciate it then admin remove them. Some of my videos have been on their months & they missed one too. I was going to comment on the post you put up but cannot find it. Keep the videos coming summer isn't far off now.

Hi Guys. We are just starting out this year with our pre-loved Berlingo (Barney) and the Campal boot jump having gone the otherway and downsized from a NuVenture motor home. We are slowly getting together various bits if kit that we've seen on other KZfaq channels. Given some comments on here I think one of the most useful might be the quickstop awning from Redcote! Keeping the weather at bay and private toilet stops being a priority! I'm interested to know if Buddy is insulated, what you use to keep warm in colder temperatures and what you use for power when stealth/wild camping. We have a Jackery 500 and 100w Solar panel, but not field tested either yet. Thanks fir your fabulous content. Keep well. Looking forward to seeing you back on the road 😊

Ive just put deposit on a 2012 berlingo from redcote leisure, wimbourne, with jump boot , getting excited, pick up 2weeks Very good vid , Id love a leisure battery as not fitted , but wondered if your roof top solar panel could keep my cool box 240v working 2 or 3 days , the small one supplied is only for charging phone and lighting

Just for my curiosity. Did you consider buying a Campervan. We are similiar to yourselves. Camping then Caravan then Motorhome Talbot Express but didnt convert our Fiat Doblo. But got a Campervan. Mazda Bongo can be £6.5k price wise. More room than a Balingo or Doblo. Happy Adventures from old George and Jane

Tina and Berni thank you so much for your video. We watched one of your videos where you stayed near the fourth bridge. Now having watched this video it has given us both hope. Would it be ok to correspondent using fb messenger?

Hi Tina I've had my Berlingo 2days , I've had to take cool box out behind drivers seat to make space for sleeping bag, pillow, waterproof jackets, goose down jackets and wellie boots, food, tackle box, Id love that chapel conversion especially with leisure battery as I like a chilled white wine in evening , all I want is a tiny fridge for milk , bacon and wine ! Could solar provide that? Love you vids x Going Scotland tomorrow for a bit of birdwatching ❤ I love the way you can look over hedges!
