zhlédnutí 509Před 3 lety
Hello, and welcome to our first video! We've started recording partway into the van conversion, so for this first video, we'll be covering off how to install the ceiling, what to do, and what NOT to do... For this ceiling install, we've used shiplap (tongue and groove) cladding, made from MDF, pre-primed in white. After this, we'll be working on the upper cabinets, plying the walls, and getting...
Great video. Thinking of putting one of theses windows in my van. How tough is the glass or what ever it's made from. I'm a little concerned about scratching from road side headges
No more updates then?
Hi - when you fitted these did you get much pulling strength from the clips? Seems that will only pull in 1-2mm? also, with you straight frame - did that cause an issue at all with the curved windows? Got the same ones and would love to know
How’s the windows been holding out, now they’re tried and tested in weather, been looking to get the same ones but no reviews on line.
So what happens to the rest 🤦♂️
Yes mate! So excited to follow this build and it looks like you have already found your YT groove! LET'S GOOOO!! 🚀
Cheers man, thanks for watching and subscribing! This channel and build is going be mega! 🚀
Sounds like you shoulda gone lwb
Beautiful video ❤️
This video is so good, it is like watching when we moved out of our house. Your face Faye when talking about how overwhelming you were feeling, was so genuine and exactly how we felt way back when. Wish we had gone for more relaxing walks as we kept on just being super stressed on our build! Brilliant work, keep up the awesome videos!!!! Will definitely be following your journeys from now on! Love James, Dawn and Little Mary x
Great video as always and looking forward to Mt Blanc, I've never been but it's been 50 years since my husband was there, so lots of memories ❤️❤️❤️
Great video guys, missing you three! Catch up soon! X
Love being able to keep up with your travels. I especially like how freshly shaved your head is in this spook.
Great video guys,just found your channel looking forward to your future adventures stay safe.
Nice job, plan on doing exactly the same. Could you link me to your spare wheel carrier please.
@@groundedvans Thanks so much. New Subscriber ;)
Looks like you are having such a good time guys 🙌🙌
I had my fingers crossed for you both, glad you made it over the water to France ! Brexit hey ! Loving the videos and your choice of lifestyle, I did much the same a few years ago, now living full time in France and not regretting a thing ! If you're travelling Brittany way, I live between Angers and Rennes, you guys are more than welcome to stop here and recharge, I'm off Grid but have wine and beer !
If I’m understanding this right and it’s only going to be used as a reverse camera not a live rear view camera when driving. My thoughts would be to connect the live feed for both the camera and monitor to the reverse light cable. When you shift in to reverse gear the reverse light comes on and also sends power to the camera/monitor. This way there’s no power draw when parked up it’s only gets power when engine on. If I’ve got the wrong idea sorry!lol but that’s my plan if/when I come to install one similar 👍🏼
Found you guys from Courts n Meeks👍🏼 looking forward to watching more vids looking good so far 😊
Good luck with your adventure
Oh my god! I was so stressed for you !! So glad it worked out and you’re having the best time! 😍😍😍
Oh gosh guys! That looked stressful at the euro tunnel… glad you’ve made it and looking forward to watching what you’re up to next 🥰

So brave! Love the video! ❤️
Looks great so far 👍 Happy travels 😁
The solution is to connect the two red wires to a wire that only comes on when the ignition is switched on and the green wire to the blue and white reversing light wire, then the only time the system gets power is when you switch on the ignition.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Ace video mate. Will be replicating!
Looks awesome, definitely doing this to ours!
