We finally put van life to the test… hiring a Ford Transit Custom 2.0 TDCi automatic campervan for a winter overnight in Braemar, Scotland.
With freezing temperatures, snow on the ground, and real-world conditions, this was the perfect way to find out if a campervan lifestyle would work for us — especially as we’ve been seriously considering buying or converting one for travel and retirement.
But after just one night, everything changed.
This isn’t a typical “van life dream” video — it’s a real-world test in cold conditions, and a genuine look at whether campervan life is actually worth it.
If you’re thinking about buying a campervan, converting a van, or starting van life in the UK, this video could help you make a much better decision.
