Are the electric car haters right? Is the ID.Buzz a terrible base van for a camper conversion? Is it just too small? Is the Payload impossible?
Join us this week when Steve visits Jon at Knights Custom Conversions to see if he believes he can convert our ID.Buzz whilst keeping it underweight.
We also pop along to see Doug and Alex at the Compact Camper Company to see how they convert such tiny campers, and we finish off by visiting Richter in Milton Keynes to see what they do and if they have anything to make our ID.Buzz special.

It looks like we’re not going to have a video for you on this channel next week, as Lynds is up north looking after her dad, and we’re simply not travelling, but head on over to my Steve Radford channel where I’ll be doing a vlog on there whilst testing out and playing with the new DJI Pocket 3 camera.
Our family have been roaming around the UK, Europe and US since 2007. We set off on each trip with only a rough destination in mind, allowing the roads we take and places we stop to evolve as we meet new friends along the way.

Very interesting its amazing what you can convert can't wait for the update 🚗😀
This is really interesting, there was a lovely black and gold one in bus fest this year, the only thing putting me off converting your van is the rear doors and twin sliders, doesn’t this add weight?
The big problem for most currently is the extra cost of EVs, which from reading some fund analysts reports is expected to start falling in the next couple of years and see EVs cheaper than ICE vehicles sometime between 2025 and 2030.
Until then even with an income above the average, I will wait.
I would like to know the range of the ID Buzz when using lights , window wipers and heater?
Another great video has always Steve Lindsay Eddie Harry and George 👍
Are the conversations with coming back over winter period please
Brilliant video tonight thanks for sharing 🎉
I didn't get why the ID campervan is failing… ?
Hi steve try laser web for camper van woods lightest grade plys you can get 1 sheet = 9kg for an 8×4
I'm an EV owner, but the problem with the ID buzz is it's not a van. It won the car of the year award
EV's are not the way to go for the UK, the infrastructure just isnt ready…….hybrids should be pushed by the Government! Great videob
Not a hater just sensitive to scams and corporations influencing the market for profit under the guise of ethics.
200 miles for a camper van. Utterly useless.
Well I won’t be giving up my Euro 5 campervan until I can get my hands on a hydrogen fuel cell van to convert. MAN already have ones on trial with big fleet operators. Much better range, 5 minute re-fuel, much better payload, zero emissions and I won’t need to be charging it thinking was this electricity produced by a coal or gas polluting power station or by a green source? Plus the longer I keep my van I don’t need to worry about the environmental damage caused by digging up all the cobalt and other minerals to make such large batteries for battery driven EV’s. Look how many bus operators now use fleets of them running 15hrs a day. Food for thought.
Hi guys love all the content. Just wondering have u tried Trekrv. Just wondering because they are in MK. peace and happiness Russ man.😊
That is going to look fantastic can’t wait to see the finished product can’t go wrong with electric good luck with the refurb excited
Happy children day to george, steve, harry..🎉🎉
Why are you not asking your good friend Mr Rucks to build it?
Really interesting vid John. I've had an an ID Buzz Cargo for 7 months and love it to bits,
but…. wow, that range has dropped from nearly 300 miles (I drive like my grandma) to around 220 miles in the November climate! Really disappointed.
What's it going to do when the cold weather hits. Pile in a load of furniture, and camping gear, and maybe a poptop, and 2 adults….
this ain't going to work is it?
EVs have not been around for a few years, they appeared in the mid 1800s.
The primary problem I see is the modern EV is very inefficient. Fat tyres, big heavy things.
Add in a fixed battery and it's not going to last as long as the 1800s ones did, they had efficiency and replaceable batteries.
I can't think of one single advantage over our custom transit….. just done a 6000 + mile trip into lapland, no way could you do that in a buzz as there would not be the needed charging point out in the wilds. We did 400 miles in a day a couple of times… and less that 5 minutes to fuel up, and a 650 mile range.
it's interesting that you mention Jerba, I saw their first video but then they never posted a follow up. I wondered what was going on
Whats Cancelled ?
