2026 Auto-Trail Expedition 68 XL & XL Flex: Full Review + Bed Test

Vantastic Adventures 2026-02-16 | Join us as we review in FULL two new exciting 2026 model campervans from Auto-Trail - the Expedition 68 XL & XL Flex. Are these the perfect van for tall people claiming to sleep comfortably up to 6ft 3 inches?

These vans are based on the already super popular Expedition 68 Model, carrying and sleeping up to 4 people with the optional pop top. They all have the important garage area which has been such a hit with cyclists and outdoor adventurers who want to carry extra kit but these 2 vans come with something completely new for 2026 - extra long beds which are perfect for tall people!

Thanks to the nice people at Auto-Trail, we review and compare both vans, detail what comes as standard and how much the options cost while checking out how big the beds actually are. Decide for yourself if these vans would make the perfect starter van for an active outdoor lifestyle.

Both vans will be on display at The Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 17-22 February 2026 at the NEC Birmingham. Check out the Auto-Trail stand to see them up close and personal!

Thetford Duo Tank Cleaner Review

Vantastic Adventures 2025-04-06 | No one likes the dirty jobs... If you are a seasoned camper they are part of the lifestyle but probably the least fun. In our campervan they all seem to be a "blue" job too, definitely not "pink".

This week we review a grey waste and cassette toilet cleaner that does both from the same bottle. Thetford Duo Tank Cleaner literally does what it says on the bottle. Not something we have used before but we do trust the brand and this stuff is excellent, just the job - so join us as we explain why and how to use it.

Lets us know in the comments below what you use to clean your grey waste tanks and any good tips.

Truma Troubles & Festival Fun
