@@alnicholson4344 i have ADD and it was super easy to follow ... but maybe thats because im also trade ... he only said and showed us what we needed to know and didnt bother showing all the boring bit inbetween , a perfect brittish how to vid lol hats off to him :)

The idea of using the IKEA bed beams is just brilliant!!! Thx for the tip!!!

Top notch - amazing video and build. It's easy to watch van builds and be impressed but realise people spend £40-£60k on a brand new van - and kit it out with major sponsorship and already have an influencer lifestyle earning them £300k per annum. Nice to watch and inspiring but then for many, not realistic, especially for a first time build. This video is really nice and down to earth - realistic and get's the job done. I am a 49 yr old single divorced man who has lost businesses and homes etc and am sick of house prices and utility bills and you have really inspired me tonight watching your video. Well done, and thanks for inspiring me.

i paid £720 for my transit box van 10 years ago, ive now done 240,000 miles in it and my conversion cost me less than £500 scavenging stuff off ebay so doesnt have to be expensive

Sounds like you made a smart move. Another smart move is to buy a plot of marginal land ie boggy fields somewhere out of the way, as it can be turned into something similar to a very expensive property over time. Am looking at 12 year old Merc’s at the moment, these videos are very interesting although some of the builds are a bit over the top there’s plenty of useful construction ideas…a thriving area of endeavour due to organised crime wave in political system…

Absolute quality mate you should be very proud of yourselves both of you. Look forward to many more videos and travels in the future.

You do not need to apologize for your wonderful job! Show room quality is all in the expectation of the viewer's mind and I like your show room. You have many interesting and helpful cues in this video -- enough that it has gone into my bookmark list of van build references. Thank you!

You have done a cracking job on a budget pal hope you enjoy your time in it

It's fantastic to see a genuine limited-budget build. I want to do my own and feel much more confident about doing it now. Thank you.

That was an excellent, very real and realistic video for us Brit van conversion hopefuls. Excellent hints and tips! Thanks for that! I saved the video to my "tiny house/van conversion" folder for when it's my turn to wield hammer and jigsaw in my own van. 😀👍

I've never watched a video this long al the way through without skipping before - brilliant!

Amazing video mate. You inspired me to do the conversion. I was a little bit afraid before. You made it look easy. Thanks.

To tell you the truth, it's fantastic for what you paid out for it. Couldn't have done it much better myself. Happy camping guys. Rob❤

I have watched every video of this build and you have done an amazing job! Well done.

My hubby and I agree, you've got an amazing problem solving mind. Very impressed. (new subscriber)

It’s bloody lush!! Awesome job and actually the first van conversion that explains the wiring and plumbing a bit more!

You can buy fabric at the fabric store and spray glue it to the ceiling!!! Now, you won't see the line from the two pieces of wood! You can buy fabric with silver threads weaving around in it, then it will look like stars twinkling in the sky while laying in bed! Or, You can buy glow in the dark fabric paint and create constellations starts, too! Be creative. I am enjoying watching this video! I subscribed.

Really enjoyed that, great work! To the right of the sink you could extend your work surface by getting those folding/locking shelf brackets from BnQ and adding more worktop that hangs down when not in use :). Also look at the teeth on your jigsaw, they face up, get down cutting blades then when you cut from the face of your boards all the ripout will be underneath .

I've had those brackets before but they never work in vans. The spring always breaks while driving but the jigsaw blades are a great tip. Thank yoy

Really enjoyed this budget build, very impressed with the whole build for the cost.

Brilliant. Totally awesome videos. Very inspiring and no nonsense. Great job.

Nice to see a good balance of planning and getting things done. I find that, sometimes, it's easier and quicker to do things 3 times, while others are sharpening their pencils. A fun time listening to your build .. Thanks !!

Came out fabulous! So happy for you guys.

Awesome work. Some cool innovative thinking in this build. Given me plenty of ideas!

I could not even begin to imagine the amount of research you have put into this! you have done an amazing job, Looks very homely and well laid out. Top job!!

Just came across your videos. You are a top bloke, your down to earth builds and videos are brilliant. Excellent sense of humour too.

Thanks for giving a real insight as to how it worked out . All these people going over the top . Nice and real . Well done mate 👏

WOW, super cool!! Great job you done! All the best from Budapest, Hungary! 🙂

Wow! Great job! Looks absolutely amazing! I'd love to have that! You guys are so gonna enjoy using this van especially knowing that you've built everything inside with your own hands! Thanks for sharing!

How did you know what to do?

I think you need to think again re the cold mixer tap set up. Just blocking the hot end may seem fine but what you have done is create a dead leg that will sit with stagnant water in that will not get changed and replenished. At the right or should I say wrong temperature (plus 20 degrees C) that could lead to legionella growth that could then infect your water supply. Throw the £8 tap away and buy a single tap mate. Better safe than sorry.

@gurglejug627

2 ай бұрын

or just put a splitter on the feed and feed the cold water through both hot and cold inputs so you keep the same (lovely) tap. By the way, Legionaires' disease doesn't effect the hands or skin, it's only problematic if breathed in a vapour. I wouldn't worry, statistically, but yeah why not be safe?

@veseloiu

Or add a hot water branch to it later on which might be even better. The same could be said about the waste water routing from the sink, which will mean that there is n o syphon actually and the dirty water stagnages in the bottom of the sink waste as the outflow is happening higher up on the side and it will fester and stink, but these are minor issues in an otherwise very inspiring video

Absolutely fanstastic! I still couldn't do it myself but it's so nice to understand a bit more what goes into a van build.

that was the best van build video I've ever seen, great work. I feel inspired now.

Wow...if I use this as a how too video I may actually get something done...well done guys for the informative and easy style.

I am following and subscribed. Love your freshness that you bring, don't lose it! I have been to the Nurseries in the summer, there was rain and drama {not from me!). Neil made sure I was safe, I was tenting with my little dog. You guys are just so "what you see is what you get". Love it!!

My sprinter is done on similar lines but even more basic than yours! No need for luxury in my abode, just functionality. If you can stay safe, warm and dry then anything else is a bonus as far as I am concerned. Great video with everything explained in language anyone can understand

Great job! No fancy tools used either. Really enjoyed watching the video.

One of the best explainer builds around. 🛠💪👍 It doesn't have to be perfect but be resourceful learn from your mistakes then improve your skills and make adjustments down the line.🤙🛠

Really enjoyed watching this, mate. I just came back from a week in the Scottish Highlands. We did Air BnB but it gave me the idea of buying/building a camper. This gives you a great idea of what it entails. Nice one. 👍

Refreshing- good job lad.

Have to say this was a joy to watch. Best explanation vid ever 👍🏻👍🏻

A lot of hard work well done. I wish you all the best with a great van.

This is awesome and an inspiration ,I'll definitely use this video to build my own or at least to customize an already built van ,it's rough around the edges but it's simply awesome !

Really enjoyed that mate you have done a great job 👍

Blees you mate. I love your energy same is your hard work. Society need people like you to think about people cant afford thing and making things from what they have got. Well-done mate

Really enjoyed this video and am totally onside with the concept. Just great viewing. Many thanks!

Bloody brilliant job John! New subscriber here to both channels and I’m hooked! You should do your own conversion business 👏👏👏👏

Love the no nonsense no instagrammable posey vid, really useful details thanks

This is an excellent resource, thank you for your good energy and inspirational perspective

Brilliant -thanks for the thorough explanation of all the technical aspects. Gives me the courage to try it myself. Very much appreciate this video , it's the best one I've seen. :)

Be careful when cutting the metal, as lots of iron filings can get blown everywhere. This will rust and could create problems later. Do not allow it to accumulate anywhere. Also try using riv nuts instead of nuts and bolts. Well worth looking at - strong enough for seat belt anchors I am told. Enjoy your van!

I’ve joined the club. Loved your video. Keep going. 😊

Quality on a budget. Just shows what you can do with a bit of time and effort 👍🏻

That was brilliant, It's been my dream to build my own van but I'm afraid finances stop me but man that looks good, Well done.

Good job made the build look easy also explained it well 👍

Subscribed today, love this build . Good work

wow, this is amazing. Thank you sooo much for making this video!!!!

Absolutely brilliant mate Happy travels

Good work, well done looks great. Best of luck with it.

Thank you, you explain things very well, awsome to see a van build finish that i think i could achieve, its good to see the 5 star builds but im not really capable of that sort of finish, this has given me some great inspiration. Cheers.

Best converton video I've seen yet.

Hi guys. Just subscribed. Love the build. Nice to see it all done in one video. I did mine over a few videos, I guess it could have been cut down ;) . But looking forward to doing another one next year more like the size of yours. Keep up the good work. I'll have a rummage through more of your videos. Cheers. Adrian.

Brilliant build, thanks for sharing

Oh wow, thats a great job, love it!!

What a cracking video and build! Super impressed with what you've achieved and thanks so much all the tips you've shared. As others have said, you don't need to apologise for anything whatsoever. If anything, you should stop putting yourself down! Your modesty and humility are admirable but you've got some serious skills and you should be really proud. Same with your video presentation and editing, which was amazing considering how much you packed into such a relatively short time. Really really enjoyable to watch, with great humour and infectious enthusiasm in spades. Thanks so much, we learned a lot from this. Subbed!! 🙏👍😎

That's so ace, it's looks brilliant ❤😊

loved every minute / well done ,looks like that camper will have some great adventures

greetings from banff canada! just got my van and am terrified it's completely gutted I really needed some guidance to show me the way. thanks for the video man.

Absolutely gorgeous. Well done

Wow, those IKEA beams are a game changer 😮 great tip 👍wish I knew about them when I did mine 😅

Really love your work dear, I watched entire process, really knowable and creative, really amazing work of art and informative video my brother keep doing these things 👍 😀 👏

That was something else to watch. I think that anybody who is considering doing a van conversion will be totally inspired by your achievement .You actually made it look relatively easy , which is an achievement in it`s self.Very well done.

Welcome to the family

great idea those ikea bed beams

Hahaha, Just watching your van build from my home in sunny Kernow and realised at the 24 min mark where abouts you are, which is the estate I was brought up on, on L's Walk. Not only that, but in about 1980 when I would have been about 10 yrs old I threw something that went in the wrong direction and accidentally broke the side window to what is now your house! It was an accident and I was quite apologetic about it so the owner at the time didn't make too much of it. I have lots of childhood memories around there. Happy days. Best wishes for you and your channel.

Well done mate !!!

MotoGP Italy, Manx TT just finished and IndyVana Jones, well done on the Podium completion!

Great video, I have no intention of building a camper van but watched it anyway! 😂
