The SURPRISING Cost Of Converting This Van! Full Van Build Cost Breakdown PLUS Our Tips & Hints

Our van looks a little different to what she did 8 weeks ago, but the question is, at what cost? We're talking more literally than our sanity, that was questionable before we started! In this weeks episode we breakdown the costs for the different elements of the build, compare them to a more 'typical' van build, go through the pros and cons of building this kind of van, share ways you could do this with less than the ludicrous number of tools Jon has accumulated, talk through the things we would do differently next time and take you with us as we spend our first night in the van. Lets do this!

    I’m sure there are other non van people like me who have really enjoyed watching this build (thanks YT algorithm 😂). The finish is superb but I’m intrigued by the practicality of the shower/toilet room and would have liked to have seen your experience of water pressure/amount of hot water/how you deal with the waste water etc. I assume there are some compromises to showering in the van but with the high standard of the rest of the build maybe there isn’t?

    Thanks Amelia, yep that’s going to be the big test, the water, hopefully all the water doesn’t freeze as it’s inside, the pressure is quite good and yeah we will keep you updated as we go on the trip, the hot water tank is 10l so should be plenty for both in the shower as we always have to use water sparingly anyway due to it being quite hard to source sometimes, it’s a case of rinse off soap up and rinse off so yeah definitely a compromise but to be honest most things in the van are , the shower room is a bit of a luxury in a camper but this one is definitely the biggest shower room we have had so should be good hopefully 😁

    I personally love what you've done. Not just the van itself, but the fact of how you run this channel. You offer step by step guides on hwo to do things. You offer clear little practical tips that you've picked up and best of all you list the exact prices for things. This is EXACTLY how KZread beats shitty TV these days. I can't sing your praises enough. And you were right about the bungies - the single metal rail to hold those boxes in the cupboards looks better. I'm defo surprised about how cheap the electrics were - the prices do seem to be coming down as tech improves.

    An Epic Build for Epic upcoming adventures far and wide. Jon did miss a trick of adding one last Tool talk Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing you first real trip away. I have started to look at Supermarket Delivery Vans in a very different light and it looks like it is only the Sainsbury van and possibly Waitrose Van, not had on stop long enough to have a proper look round. the Box looks to be slightly longer too. I thought you were in Sandringham before you said that was were you were. Spent a far bit of time wondering around there with my Girls before they started to not want to do days out like that. It won't be long before they start to not want to come away with us. I think they now use proper Auto boxes on Sprinters now after the problems that sprint shift. Our is finally going into a Garage in Monday to have the Gearbox issue sorted and whilst they have it fix an oil leak and change the rear shocks as they are very crusty, and my drive isn't the best place to be jacking up the Motorhome to change them myself.

    @@truebluetravellers Not expecting it to be cheap. Labour will run the cost up. Especially because of the awkward to work on factor with it being an A Class Motorhome, changing the headlight bulbs is a major faff, and it easier to buy new mounting lugs and just thump out the unit and replace broken lugs when about to refit it. As you have to get past the remains of the old inner wings before you hit the void to the side of them where the lights are housed. What you gain in space on the inside without the length you pay for when thing need fixing in the engine bay.

You will never find anything like it... so you saved money. On top of that and this is the big one. You did it together and created memory's to treasure for the rest of your life and by doing that, created video evidence of the howl process helping others wist providing entertainment for all to watch.

    You are really very kind and generous to not only explain the costs but to also prepare a spreadsheet for people to look at. Not only that, but you even provide an email address for people to contact you to ask where you got certain items! That is absolutely fantastic! So many channels on KZread will not share this information. I understand people wanting to keep finances private and also information about certain items that are one-offs or not readily available, but I can't get my head around why people won't share information about things anyone can order online or buy at a shop. The both of you differentiate with your honesty and transparency and as a result, I sincerely hope that your channel deservedly grows massively. Won't you need to change your tyres to winter ones if driving in snow and ice or will you be using snow chains? Depending on the country, you may be legally required to fit proper winter tyres. I've tried off-road all-season tyres here in Japan. They are useless in comparison with proper winter tyres and in anycase, we are required to fit winter tyres by law if travelling in snow country.

    I always appreciate when people put some bloopers at the end. It gives me some hope that I might be able to do it. With enough takes, at least. By the way, nice build. And it's very nicely documented.
