About our Family vanlife
We are a family of five and have a VWT5 camper. Over the years we have had to adapt our vanlife as our family has grown, and we have tried and tested many different sleeping arrangements to comfortably sleep five in a VWT5.
Wondering what to pack? We have a list of a few of our Campervan essentials and ultimate campervan packing list
We hope to share all of our tips and tricks for Vanlife as our family grow. And you will find plenty of vanlife tips and tricks including awesome vanlife storage hacks.
We have also shared ideas for campsites in the UK for families, including our favourite campsites with a sea view, and with direct access to water to paddleboard, kayak or swim and campsites with a hot tub!
