👉Not a bad way to start the day👈

Some work for financial reward, some to try and gain some clout and others just to keep the lights on until the inevitable is going to happen again!

This is why we work so hard at what we do. Yes, the product development side of things is epic and a buzz to know so many people out there with vans want the stuff we make and supply. What we really work for is this… No big money needed, no dead weight investor hovering around like a bad smell, no crowds and not a Dry Robe in sight 🤪

We love being in nature in a van we built to do trips like this in.

👉🇪🇸 Well it would appear that we are back in Spain 🇪🇸 👈

The truth is that we just miss not having the freedom of having a van located here, especially as the wet UK winters are approaching. We just took a short drive South into the Mountains from the north coast and was rewarded with these amazing views at our first wild camp spot. The road up did get a bit narrow at times but our 2WD Adventure Camper (Lifted and kitted out with gear from The CampervanCulture.com website) made short work of those.

When two days of travel for just one full day of hollbobs just doesn’t cut the mustard, we get some Gravel In Our Travel.

👉Another new CVC innovation production product is born👈

This one has actually been with us for over 15 years! You will have seen this setup on our early travel and green laneing videos. We have our first batch with us ready to go so we can get these on the web shop but we just need to pop out and do something first! 

We are seeing so many of you like us who use 2WD vans for exploring and although you might really hanker after. 4WD Syncro this winch set up can give you some extra confidence to get you off that boggy field or remote camp spot without being up all night worrying about the rain. There is so much more to tell you about this one so stay tuned.

👉When going through some old photos last night for a new product we are about to launch I started to get a bit nostalgic👈

It reminded me of how thankful I am for all the real adventures these vans we run and supply gear for has given not just me personally but my family too. And let’s not forget all the amazing friendships that have been made along the way. Driving far away to places that don’t even know what a Jaffa Cake is, to places that are more exotic than a pint of Jack Daniels and coke, to a place where you just can’t have old dead weight.

Viva Campervan Culture Limited, this is in our DNA.

👉More CVC Produced wheels heading out into the world. This order of 5 with centre caps is going all the way to New South Wales in Australia 🇦🇺👈

Our wheels are super popular. That’s why you see them on people’s vans. No word salad, just a great product range that you all appear to like. ‘Let’s be honest’ sometimes a ‘questionable’ junk factory steel wheel rescued from the scrap pile and rattle can sprayed black just doesn’t cut the mustard. Our fresh new Nomad wheels are even rated to 1200kg! (And they are on sale this week 😜)

👉SyncroVilla update👈

We have been giving this project a tickle when we get a spare hour or two during the day as well as a couple of evenings. We are blown away with the sound deadening, insulation and stretch carpet we bought from @combe_valley_campers on Saturday. Look what a difference it has made! We went over the rear headliner to hide were the old RHD units had been and where the old wiring came down. Remade the wall panels and made a window blank. We also did some simple panel replacement and yes….. We did remove the interior for that so we could treat the new panels@from the inside and weld those properly. You CAN NOT do this with the interior in place unless it is a bodge. 

So there you have it. More SyncroVilla shenanigans to follow as we slot some time in when we get it.

👉 Let’s talk diesel heaters — it’s that time of year again! 👈

There’s a LOT of information out there about diesel heaters… and unfortunately, a lot of misinformation too.

Before you’re convinced that spending more automatically means buying better, here’s a real story from our own travels.

We travel in our van for weeks and months at a time, often in cold and remote places. We can supply pretty much any heater on the market, but we only stock and use products we genuinely believe in.

A few years ago in the Dolomites, we met a young UK couple travelling with their dog. Their diesel heater had failed overnight in a freezing car park at altitude.

The next morning, they noticed several other campers had their engines running because their heaters had also failed.

Curious, they asked what heaters everyone had.

The vans whose engines were running to keep warm whose  heaters had failed were fitted with Webasto. The vans whose heaters were still running had Autoterm.

They came back to us after their trip and had an Autoterm fitted — and they’ve been toasty ever since.

Now, take from that what you will. We know that some expensive heaters can struggle at altitude and may require an additional high-altitude pump.

We stock Autoterm because they work as they should out of the box — and they’re the heaters we trust for the kind of travelling we actually do. 🔥

We have a new fitting kit being launched in a couple of weeks (exclusive to us) because ‘let’s be honest’ nobody wants to take up storage space inside. Anything fitted outside underneath will die from road salt, dust and those ‘questionable’ shallow water crossings. These heaters are not made to get wet! Tried and tested by us over the last 12 months in Europe and Africa we are about to offer the ultimate solution for this winter.

👉The CVC 2WD Lifted and Raptor coated adventure camper, The Vanagwan has had some love today👈

Getting set for something worth while next week so stay tuned for that one. Plus it was bugging me that the van didn’t have 3 spot lights 🤓 The vans we build and use are not Show Ponies, we use them for long distance travel.

We have more going on using @raptor__official products this season as we continue The SyncroVilla build.

👉Getting charged for the weekend👈

Well we finally did it. Some of you will be very happy and you can stop ringing up about under seat Lithium batteries for the VW T25, T3, Vanagon. Not only have we got two flavours of direct swap lithium leisure batteries, we also have an all new direct swap lithium starter battery. Amazing for those who are sick to the back teeth of killing traditional starter batteries over the winter.

Check out the ‘New Products’ section on the website for full info. The pricing is also good and we do free UK shipping!

👉 KNOWING THE BASICS 👈

Just putting a big set of wheels on a T3 doesn’t magically turn it into a Syncro. 🤣

If you’re claiming to be a specialist, the very least you should know is what you’re actually working on.

Here’s a quick and easy way to identify a genuine T3 Syncro:

🔧 THE FUEL FILLER

On a Syncro, the fuel filler is positioned at the rear right-hand side rather than by the front wheel arch, as it is on a 2WD.

Why? Because a Syncro is 4WD and has a propshaft running from the gearbox to the front differential, occupying the space where the fuel tank sits on a 2WD. The Syncro fuel tank therefore sits above the gearbox, which is why the filler is located further back.

🔧 LOOK UNDER THE FRONT

A genuine Syncro will have the front differential, diff cradle and front driveshafts clearly visible underneath.

A 2WD simply doesn’t have this hardware, leaving considerably more space underneath.

Simple stuff — but apparently not always as simple as it should be. 😉

We know plenty of you already know this, but for anyone who doesn’t, hopefully this helps when looking at a van or deciding who you trust to work on it.

Because here’s the worrying part…

If someone is getting the fundamentals of the vehicle wrong, it’s worth asking what else they might be getting wrong mechanically.

And when you see supposedly “specialist” work where panels have been bodged into place, fitted without properly stripping the van, and even the camping interior hasn’t been removed to carry out the work correctly… 🚩

…it raises some fairly obvious questions about the standard of the work hidden underneath.

So, the next time you see another load of word salad from a company claiming that a T3 with big wheels is a Syncro they’re “restoring” — especially when the interior is still sitting inside it — don’t just take their word for it.

Look at the fuel filler.

It takes about five seconds. 😂

👉 Know what you’re looking at. Know who you’re trusting with your van. 👈
