      Just in case you don't see my other comment ​@@Rags2Pitches- don't use b2black - it's crap - it just fades again really quickly. Use forever black. £30 but dead easy to apply and you can do all plastics with one pack.

    did you really need to paint the roof as it cant really be seen plus when you add the stuff to the roof most of it will be covered, also you should have used panel wipe/thinners to clean the paint work and don't touch it after as the grease/oils in the skin will leave traces behind and the paint wont stick, wow hand rolling a van that's a first for me lol what kind of paint is that you are using ?

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches Před 29 dny

      Ah yes - we considered that about the roof…. But we will most likely get a drone in the future for videos so wanted the roof to match for some epic shots! Plus we had enough paint to cover it so was worth the extra bit of work in our opinion! It’s military vehicle paint!

    I was going to mention what’s involved having a shower..hot water or not, and how to store water and power etc for the shower etc…would have been a big hole in your budget….i think a wise decision/ compromise to scrap the shower idea. Have you thought about some sort of heating..diesel heater etc…this would not hurt your budget too much. Be aware gas heater are not very safe as far as carbon monoxide, and a diesel heater would be great for your kid to be comfortable at night. Budget around £180 to do a diesel heater. A Kidde 5CO carbon monoxide alarm is excellent recommended and about £16, a must have for safety. I have an old one, works well and has a Test feature. Are you getting a power bank thing or thought about solar? This could be a major cost. Wet toilet ( cassette plus chemicals) or dry ( compost type)?

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches Před měsícem

      Thanks for the info Richard! Yes we have purchased a diesel heater and will definitely get some kind of monitor / alarm you mention. We actually have purchased a power bank and will have a 12v simple system running alongside that! For the toilet I am leaning more towards a compositing one as less headache disposing of it! 💜

    • @richardsracingmad
      @richardsracingmad Před měsícem

      @@Rags2Pitches diesel heaters are well worth your budget, I recommend even the Chinese diesel heater, but upgrade the fuel line if u get a green one, it’s too soft and will give u issues down the line( so to speak) once diesel has been running though it a while…plenty of research required on YT! …upgrade other fittings too, don’t go cheap, spend about an extra £25 to get your Chinese diesel heater installed properly, plus u will need a mounting plate, make sure it it deep enough………and I would not get a cassette toilet, go dry….you can find some pretty good cheap ish ones, but with a kid I would look at those over a cassette toilet all day long. A bucket with a bin liner will do!!😅

      @@Rags2Pitches it'll probably be fine tbh. I also laid it after I'd built all our benches and kitchen so I didn't lay more weight down on the floor. Adding all our weight, fuel, water and all the insulation, wood etc you'd be amazed how close you get to being overweight - so that's worth considering. All in we have about 150kg spare when full of everything. Which isn't a lot. But that's everything - clothes, fuel etc.

    Don't forget to sound deadening the bottom of the rear door and side door. It makes a massive difference to how they feel and sound when shut. I've also added it on the cab doors. Makes it sound much more premium and reduces road noise massively. Also did the roof too - it's the noisest panel - be sure to stick the ribs to the roof if they've got a gap too - it adds rigidity and I just used some bags of soil on the roof to weigh it down whilst the sika stuck.
