Final Van Build | Finishing Our VW T6 Camper Van Conversion
Finishing Our Van Build.
We've spent the last few months self converting our VW T6 long wheelbase transporter from an empty van into a tiny home on wheels. We had almost no DIY experience before we started this camper van conversion and Craig has the added challenge of being paralysed from the chest down. We finally get the van conversion finished off, paint and decorate the campervan and go on a vanlife test trip

Am SCI surviver, how can get the free catheters?
Try moving the rear axel back further, it will put more weight over the front wheel and reduce your front tyre pressure a little, it might help.

Hi Craig, Just ran across your video about handcycle and electric handcycles, and then this one popped up. Im so sorry about your accident, I had one very similar, I ran into the back of a stopped SUV, my face was cut up real bad, but I did not get any real injuries, I thank the Lord for that, its always hard to tell how I didnt see a stopped car but I know how easy it can happen. Im hopping to find out which type of hand cycle you finally got. Since your in England, (my wife is from Thetford) I probably wont have the same brand, Oh I forgot, Im not crippled completly, just having some strange nerve damage resulting from Cancer and Radition, oh well happy cycling, Eddie
In India There is city called Dharamshala ( Himachal Pradesh ) there is a place where spinal cord injury patients again able to walk... I think u should go there once
Hi, can one change catheters daily
Any sexual toys you recommend

Unless you have an incomplete sci, then erection and even orgasm is possible
Can I ask what you used for the poop simulation? That was a great visual that would be helpful for teaching.
Yes. I was enjoying your information
Wow its very interesting.. never knew it!👍
When you go to the bathroom, how, or.when are you able to take your pants down? I mostly wear dresses but have trouble taking my underwear down.
This is what I came looking for 😢
i’m a paraplegia with muscle spasms how do you straight cath with muscle spasms?
Thank you for your honesty and information
This is great but not for me as I'm a c8
What type of glue did you use for cork to metal?
Great video! You two look so happy 😊 I want to get one so badly now, I hope you have many more rides ❤
Great work! Thank you for sharing. What size Jack Nuts did you use please? I'm guessing M5 or M6 ???
I thank you for sharing your amazing story together! This wA very interesting! I took Cialis at age of 56! My eyes got blurry then I lost my vision from taking Cialis! I have those injections to help me get hard! It’s not sexy to ask my wife to jab me! But she doesn’t mind!
Why were you looking down?

I ment 2 say the medication call Hims will it work 4 me
great spot to run with wheelchair and have fun. thank you both.
thanks for sharing this excellent content.
This might be way too late, but is there a way to modify the wheelchair to have raised height lift that you can have a switch to operate & have the wheels lock in place before transferring? That’d be an awesome adjustment to wheelchair I think. If we’ve a raised bed lift, I’m sure we can also have one modify to a wheelchair. Thank you for showing us the hand control, that’s awesome to have for differently-able person. I might be able to have one modify for the brake for my partial numb left leg when it does happens occasionally 🙏👏🙌👍
I'm just out the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit Scotland and been put to hospital closer to where I live, it's an ordinary hospital ward with no room. I'm waiting to get re-homed. I have a T12 complete injury. My legs jump like crazy, it seems to be when I'm doing something new a d not having the correct equipment such as a shower chair and standing frame. Love the video, I wish I had the support you've got.
I always forgot most men in the UK are uncircumcised.
Question- is it even enjoyable if you cant feel it, how do you finish? Doesnt make sense why youd try
Thanks, I'm having tons of trouble getting pants on. Women pull up jeans are great, but tights are impossible, especially with my shoulders being broken and interference of hands grabbing.
very informative. thank you!
wow
Thank you so much for these practical tips. I'm a T4-C and in 4 yr I have never learned most of this stuff.
Have you had a colonoscopy yet
That's very nicely done ... thee only thing I'd change would be yer curtains by adding a string on thee bottom as well .
Thanks :) We did think about it, can't remember why we didn't in the end, possibly because we weren't sure how to make it work with the doors but it definitely would help on windy days for sure
