That is a fantastic job. I love the look. Where can I get the same material you used on the surrounds?

This video is just what I was looking for. thank you. I couldn't help admiring your back lawn. Is it artificial? only hubby keeps bending my ear about replacing our lawn with an artificial one and I have never seen one laid.

Yes, it is all fake grass the dogs kept burning the lawn so it had to go fake all the way for me now I've even got some in the van 😁👍

Hi Michael just a quick update I burst the bank 3600kgs fully loaded! so to keep it legal I'm not filling up with water until I get to my destination saving 70kgs, by then I'm running on half a tank of fuel or less saving 30-40kgs so in reality I should be under or within the tolerance VOSA permit we are still uprating the van to 4050kgs using SV Tech so it shouldn't be a problem in the future and during winter I will be shaving some additional weight the tow bar is going straight away I think it's about 50kgs with the step and accessories and I could also do with losing a few of my excess kgs :-)

@@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife I appreciate the update! You’ve got me worried about my total weight now, something I didn’t even think about at the start of the build if I’m honest. I’m almost finished now so I think I’ll get it weighed and see what I’ve got left to play with. I’ll also be losing my rear step for a few kg saving.
