Preparing our used van for Van Life
#Vanlife #VanlifeUK #VanBuild
Follow along as we begin the dirty job of cleaning and prepping our VAN ready to transform it into our home on wheels.
About us:
We're Jodie and Joe and after years of searching for a new home, we realised that London can't offer us the lifestyle we dream of.
We've quit our jobs and sold our home, and are no longer tied to London, or even the UK.
So we bought our 2018 Peugeot Boxer and began our renovation to turn it into our perfect little home on wheels.
As we travel and explore each new place, we will be creating a list of 'must haves' to help us find the perfect place to call home.
Join us on our adventure as we build our campervan and navigate the highs and lows of vanlife in Europe and more!
Our Van: 🚐
2018 Peugeot Boxer H2L3
95k Mileage

You got me at "One of those vanlife wanker ones", when describing your tap. Totally priceless. 😂😂😂
Y’all are hilarious ❤
Pro tip: if you extend your arms horizontal fully while standing... That's how tall you are! 😂
I'm enjoying the vids. Can't wait till the next one.
Awesome build good luck 🤘❤👍
Great progress guys look forward to the next vid donny
So nice to find some down to Earth van life ”w⚓️s” that eat meat! ❤️ Looking forward to following your adventures.
I like the way Jodie says the jack might come in useful, lol

Googling opening the bonnet.. priceless! Best cleaning howto, especially around the cab area. You got away lightly in the load area - most vans of that age are mingers under the ply. Following your journey is really cool.

Yeah it could have been a lot worse!
started with your video on first night stealth camping fail, but have now found your series. i have been watching John & Mandy and Camper vibe for a long time now, love the girls because they always give us a laugh, and you 2 are going to do the same, so will work my way through your van conversion series and hope the laughs continue. thumbs up so far.

07.19 Suggest taking that black trim off the outside and cleaning and priming in there. That traps a lot of dirt and moisture and there will be rust in there

Just subbed looking forward to your adventure ps nowt wrong with Bolton lol.
Just a little budget tip - buy paint, hardware etc from Toolstation or Screwfix and wood, insulation etc from a timber yard as B&Q are much more expensive.

Definitely! Screwfix is my new favourite shop
Peace of mind - your red steering wheel anti-theft device. Maybe upgrade to a Disclok, got mine from Halfords, cost £80 a few years ago. Well worth the money for my Ford Courier small van, guaranteed to be there on return from shopping visits.
ducato/boxer and relay are wider than all over cans unless you have a luton box van
You two are totally mad, but all the best people are, right? Loving the channel guys, wont take me long to catch up. Stay blessed

Great channel, just subbed. One thing, was that WD40 you sprayed in the locks? If so, I'd advise not to do that as it isn't a lubricant, it's a water and oil displacing solvent, so it actually removes the lubricant. You want to use graphite in locks. 👍 Great video though, just about to binge the whole playlist. 😁

@@JodieandJoe it's graphite powder you want, not an oil. Sounds weird I know. You can buy it in little bottles. At a pinch you can shave a pencil down and use that. Just search for 'key sticking in the lock? Use graphite to stop it!' here on KZread.

On my can of WD40 it is stated that it lubricates among other things.
Subtle innuendo's, fart breaks and bum pokes 🤔😂
Hi, great videos, really enjoy the journey so far, Joe, is your background in building?

From the cement and rubble, I'd say builders! Or grave diggers. Could be gravediggers. 🤷🏼♀️
