I have officially was all the episodes of building ur van. Two days no three bcuz I fell asleep and had to rewind. Thank you it was all amazing.
The funniest part of your van build was you installing the blinds to the front and side windows. You were definitely a novice at the time Will, but look how experienced you've become. And you know what they say, with experience comes perfection 😉 Looking forward to more of your adventures

I have been watching Van videos for years and this is by far my absolute favourite Van. The layout is so clever and compared to the most expensive vans I’ve seen, yours is the one that I would model my future van over. Thanks for the inspiration buddy.

Watching you start this van build was such an awesome experience. Every time you came back with a new video it was hilarious to watch you screw up but then really inspiring to see you never give up.

Been following for a good few years now. It seems such a shame that after all the hard work you don't really go on big adventures, and put the van through it's paces. Would love to see you go in this direction, rather than visiting the generic park ups that you have been doing.

ive just watched your entire 43 videos in a little over 2 days, im not even considering van life at all, I have a massive mortgage and two kids lol. Just found it and you super interesting and entertaining. I am however, considering a mobile office as I do a lot of livestreaming football matches and getting fed lugging all my gear in and out of the car. So although not something to sleep and cook in many of the things you showed like solar, all the electrics, even the diesel heater for those winter matches will all come in super handy. Think Im going to watch more of your stuff now, well done mate, really great watch, kept me off Netflix for 3 days haha
