Our FIRST Campervan Night Went WRONG 🌧️😅 | UK Family Van Life

We finally did it! our first ever night in the campervan 🚐 We headed to Shay Gate Farm for a test night with the kids and the dogs, in our VW T6 Transporter (aka Honeydew) and it was a bit of a mixed bag 😅 Everything started off perfectly: cosy beds, van coffee in the sunshine, and a proper little family adventure to a nearby pub. But then the wind and rain hit overnight and things got interesting. Our toilet tent blew over (exposing the car seats to the elements 😭), the awning nearly went flying, and by 6am we were packing up and heading home. BUT… not all bad 👇✔️ The van setup actually worked really well✔️ Everyone slept comfortably (Panda toppers = game changer)✔️ Dogs settled perfectly in their little space✔️ Fridge & gas worked perfectly✔️ We learned a LOT for next time In this vlog: Full campervan tour (VW T6 with Spartan conversion) Our first night on a UK campsite The reality of family van life with kids + dogs What worked, what didn’t, and what we’re changing If you’re thinking about campervan travel in the UK with a family, this is a very real first trip 😅 Things we learned we need: A better system for storage & easy access A window vac for condensation A sturdier setup for windy weather 🌬️ If you’re into family travel, UK adventures, and realistic van life, you’re in the right place. ⭐ If you enjoyed this vlog, don’t forget to subscribe for more family travel + creative life content! ❤️ Links ❤️ Website: https://www.finestimaginary.com/ & https://www.kimlawlercreative.com/ Instagram:   / finestimaginary   Email: [email protected] Music from Epidemic Sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/4kl3b4 Main vlog camera: https://amzn.to/3EyIYGy ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Hiya!
