If you’ve ever wondered what you can do to make your campervan or motorhome bed a little less firm, you’re in the right place. We asked our community what their best campervan mattress topper was, and they all said Duvalay, without a doubt. We decided to see for ourselves. We’ll … Read more
With the rapidly growing popularity of electric bikes a question we are increasingly being asked is how an electric bike can be carried on a bike rack for a Volkswagen T5, T6 or T6.1 campervan. Traditionally VW Transporter bike carriers have fitted directly onto either the tailgate, or in the … Read more

With the coronavirus lockdown levels gradually being eased across the UK, the subject of staycations has never been so topical – but we feel some thought is needed before blowing the dust from your home from home and hitting the road. After a very difficult three months for very many … Read more
Four queer women, who’ve never been on holiday together, squeezed into a Jerba campervan, in Scotland, home of rain, in autumn? An ambitious route, covering more than 400 miles in just two days? What better way to put the “lesbians love camping” stereotype – and their friendship – to the test? … Read more
In Scotland the fried egg forecast does come, just sometimes, and when it does, it’s great to be able to drop everything and just go and enjoy it. And we did. Late September and with not a cloud in sight my wife and I headed north west with our 4-year-old … Read more

It’s taken us four years of trying different options before finding what we consider to be the ideal option for a perfect night’s sleep in the van. We started off with just a fitted sheet on the bed; far too hard for us. Then, added a polyester filled mattress topper … Read more
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.
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 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.
Go Outdoors have released their latest cookbook and it is packed full of tasty one-pot recipes!
