Shorter daylight hours, snowfall and icy roads can make driving in winter challenging for even the most experienced driver. Follow our 10 winter driving tips to ensure you have a safe trip in your Jerba Campervan this winter.
We understand that going out winter camping is not for everyone. However, leaving your van unused in cold conditions can damage your van if you don’t do a few simple things beforehand.
Here at Jerba we don’t believe that using your campervan should just be limited to the warmer months, instead we think that you should get out in your camper as much as possible! In fact, there are many advantages of going out camping in the winter.
Smartphone cameras are constantly improving with the leading smartphones enabling you to take excellent quality photographs that you can then quickly edit and share with friends!
If you are new to photography and you don’t know where to start, or perhaps you’ve been out in your camper recently and can’t figure out why the snaps of your adventures don’t look as good as the real thing.
Triathlon is a complicated, equipment intensive sport that is both physically and mentally challenging. All of this explains why I love it. Most people mistakenly think it’s three sports; swimming, cycling and running.
Physically, spiritually and biochemically, no sport delivers the sensations of wild swimming. At one level there’s the sense of a journey through a wild place, with the sort of intense connection I usually only experience after several days of backpacking.
I love cycling in Scotland but sometimes, usually early in the year, I have to escape to somewhere warmer and dryer. Where each ride doesn’t end with scraping a layer of dirty grit from soggy clothing, followed by a hosing down and re-lubricating of my long-suffering road bike.
It’s the tuba player I feel sorry for. I bet no-one ever says, “hey we’re having a party, bring your tuba!” It just isn’t going to happen. Being a sea kayaker is a little like being a tuba player.
it’s the smallest campervan conversion ideas that make the biggest difference to your adventure. At Jerba Campervans innovation is pivotal.
Selecting a conversion company to undertake the task of creating your dream campervan can be difficult. We know that Jerba can help you with this decision.
The definition of a campervan is fairly straight forward with the Collins dictionary describing a campervan as; “a van which is equipped with beds and cooking equipment so that you can live, cook and sleep in it.” For us, a campervan is much more than that, it is the opportunity for adventure at a moment’s notice, it is a base for extreme sports, it is connecting with family and it is being that little bit closer to nature and that extra bit further from the rush hour traffic jam!
We first started manufacturing our Jerba Elevating Roof in 2015 and now fit them to all of our VW T6 conversions and to customers own T5 & T6 campers. The decision to create our own innovative design came after fitting Reimo and SCA roofs for a number of years and continually feeling dissatisfied and frustrated with the quality.
We caught up with Angus and Jayne who recently did their own conversion on their own brand new Transporter T6 camper. Their self-build campervan looks great using both of their skills to create a truly unique VW campervan.
In all our Jerba Campervans we use Polyflor flooring. Polyflor’s flooring is highly durable and slip resistant making it the perfect flooring for a campervan. Polyflor pride themselves on their sustainability and their vision is to be as carbon neutral as possible, as well as being socially and economically responsible. The flooring contains recycled material and is 100% recyclable making it a great product for us to work with to keep in line with our own sustainability goals.
Mobile phones and tablets provide lots of entertainment for passengers on long drives, however, the ‘family time’ that comes with going campervanning is slightly lost – and the driver is left out! Playing group games while driving is a great way to keep entertained and enjoy some family time. The classic I Spy is always a great starting game when you’ve been driving in your camper for a long time to keep kids…and adults entertained. However, soon comes the question, ‘what other road trip games can we play?’ Here are our top 5 games that you can play (after I Spy!) while on a road trip in your VW campervan! Don’t hesitate to bend and create your own rules to keep the games and the journey exciting!
