The Biggest Campervan Shake-Up in 10 Years: My Mission & THE RUMOUR

The campervan world is facing its biggest shake-up in a decade, with the VW T6.1 era ending and the new VW Transporter 'T7' and Ford Transit Custom taking over. So, what does the future of campervanning really look like? I've sold my van, and now I'm on a mission. Join me as I prepare for the UK's biggest event, the Motorhome and Caravan Show 2025 at the NEC, to find my next campervan. In this preview, we'll explore which converters like Vanworx, Rolling Homes, and Jerba I'll be investigating, discuss the rumours around the new Transporter Sportline, and uncover the new trends in tech and style. Most importantly, I reveal a critical warning for ANYONE looking to buy a campervan. After a shocking discovery this week, I'll show you how two vans with the same price tag can be worlds apart in quality, and how you can avoid the trap of "paying more for less." - The Campervan World is Changing Forever - My Personal Mission & The New Project Vans - The New Base Vans: VW T7 & Ford Transit Hybrid - The Great T7 Naming Debate (I Give Up!) - My NEC Mission: The Converter Hit List - The Vanworx Sportline Rumour - The Big Miss: Why Ecowagon's Absence Matters - Future Trends: Swamper Looks & 4motion - The Gear: A Tour of My Must-See Accessories - A Message for Motorhome Matt - CRITICAL WARNING: The £60k Campervan Deception - My Mission For You at the Show Motorhome and Caravan Show: https://mcshow.co.uk/ 👋 ABOUT MY CHANNEL: I’m Steve, and on Staycation Lifestyle, I offer independent and impartial advice on everything campervan-related.

I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate. I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests. Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey. Van life is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
