Why This Campervan Show FAILED and How To FIX It

The South West is the home of the UK staycation, so why are our campervan shows so disappointing? I talk about a campervan show visited with my honesty opinion. An opinion that is shared with many others. I give my honest review of the recent Exeter Campervan Show, explain why it felt like a "car boot sale," and investigate whether I should launch my own festival in Cornwall for 2026. I talk about the great shows at the NEC shows and Warner’s shows, and propose a massive plan to bring the biggest names in Vanlife down to Devon and Cornwall. Would you buy a ticket for a premium Campervan Show/Festival in Cornwall?

Panel van, Kombi, Converted Camper or VW California Beach or Ocean, enjoy the freedom van life brings. The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along. 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.
