CROSSING THE NULLARBOR | Sprinter Van Road Trip Ep 17
Hi everyone, It's been a while! So sorry for the wait but here is our first big trip in the van.
We didn't plan where we would stay along the Nullarbor and didn't think we would be able to get this close to the cliffs with the van. Finding this camp spot and staying on the Bight was something we'll never forget!
Thanks for watching :) Van tour is up next!

    there are many easier ways to make a bath in a van, but at least it works. the bathroom door is kinda awful though.

    An excellent video, very well documented, with good details. Much appreciated, thank you. I especially liked that small joining tape at the base of the wall and shower pan. That is a nice detail and seals the edge well. The loud music is a turnoff. Turning volume knob on and off to hear you speak is a lot of work. My ears are hurting. Adding music to any DIY, demo, tour, cooking or animal video is a bad idea. Leave in natural sounds only please. Once you take out the music, your membership will increase. fyi - Note to young woman in video - If you want to be taken seriously for any van building, tie back your hair and keep it tucked under a hat, bun, net, or scarf. Long hair dangling, does not work well with power tools. You are in a construction zone. Accidents happen in a split second. No jewelry, dangling hair, floating clothes, slippers, pants with large holes in them, etc. Everything tucked, neat, body hugging, and out of the way. Also, don't giggle, write silly stuff like how you hate van building, and other cringeworthy stuff that embarrass the whole female population. We don't think it is funny or cute to make women look like Airheads around power tools and construction. Many of us love van building and are skilled at construction. If you don't like it, stay away. People should respect you and your knowledge. Don't act like a little girl. You are an adult. You also have an obligation to all women, not to create a stereotype of women who know nothing. Even your caulking skills need to be improved. Watch, learn, and do it expertly. Change your current Airhead image into one of competence, dependability, and know how. Anyone can do construction, not just men. This is your opportunity to prove you can too. You should know more or at least as much as, any man in your life.

    Hi! I know the video it is a little bit old, but I am also installing some atlas tanks (the same 110L and another 50L on the other side of the van). The problem I am dealing with is that the grey water will not go up, so I cannot place the inlet (for the grey water tank) all the way up. I see in your tank that you placed the inlet for the grey water tank around the middle, are you not loosing almost half of the capacity of this tank? I am in Melbourne, can you recommend me an electrician to connect the appliances? Hey great videos guys!

  • @austinlouis9962
    @austinlouis9962 Před rokem

    I think it’s better to put the shower in the back. I’m all for a bigger bathroom. IMO. But I guess if you didn’t need to have access to the cockpit you could do a larger bath in the front. But I haven’t really seen that done yet.

  • @donnanorth7324
    @donnanorth7324 Před 2 lety

    Before you make a video, why don't you learn how to make one! And then review it to see if it is worth a sh t! Your music is so loud and your voice is so low, I just muted it and didn't hear a word you said. I doubt that was your goal.

    What kind of toilet is it? A composting toilet?? Won’t it be really difficult to sit on the toilet as it faces the wall?? Wouldn’t it have been better to have it facing the open area of the shower room??? It wouldn’t take up much more space, I think…
