I heard what I thought was a mouse in my van the other morning. I haven’t thought about it since but I better start checking!!
😮 sure it’s not a fan that’s moved in 😂😂😂
Could be a stalker 😂👍
I can only hope for this 😂
Or it’s monster looking for treats 😂
@@SACREDTRAVELLER he’s quite small but if he can fit into the walls I’d be impressed!
Looking good Mel. Really coming along now. 🙂
Thank you! Cheers!🍻
Good night becky and Mel I love you too much and I love watching your videos of you and your building your new campervan I hope you are all well and enjoying your building your new campervan please keep up the good work up on your videos on your you tube channel please keep safe and warm
Thank you and you
Common entry points for mice in caravans/campers is one of the gas vents.
Looking good Mel 👍
Be safe
Thanks, you too!
You can get clamp-on connectors for the LED terminals but they don't always hold up to vibration. Keep the strip of lights accessible so you can replace them when they fail. If you have a heavy diffuser it helps to hide dead spots though. A good reason to make them indirect lighting so you can't see this too.
Thank you
Hi Mel. Might be too late but get som COB LED strips. Look great.
Awwww, please don't kill the mouse, get one of those humane mouse traps 😢..
Love the lights, looks cosy 😊☯️
Don’t worry I wouldn’t kill the mouses 😇
Looks great Mel 👊👊
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi can I just say years ago I moved into a new build and after a year we had mice as were near country had to get a professional in to sort out the mice and I said can't see how and where they are getting in . In his words if you can get a pencil in a hole then that's where they are getting in so don't think it has to be a big hole good luck with the hunt
You can buy cable ends that clip onto the LED strip, no soldering needed!
No way why didn't i know this
We have similar 2 wire led strip they can be dimmed, we used a touch switch from Camper Interiors but Amazon sell similar ones. Well worth a dimmer, as they do use some watts on full power.
£500 to rewire the engine bay due to mice. If you can get a pencil in a gap/hole a mouse will get in.
We love watching 💙
Thank you ☺️
Van is going on mate great job. Mel
Thank you ☺️
Bit annoying if you pay to camp then get told to m move early
I had the same led strip bought a coupe of dimmers on Amazon £12 for 2 ( worked at 6amp )I set them in a panel and used a separate switch , they reduced the amps from 2.5 amps to under 1 amp , and took the edge off the led brightness well done Mel good luck 👍👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢
Thank you that’s really helpful 👍
I got a couple of cheap dinners off eBay work great.
When our motorhome was stolen, we ended up with mice, absolute nightmare, eating electric wires and water pipes😢
Oh my goodness me
If the led’s go you just change the whole strip. If you have a manufacturers name you should be able to google the details on dimming and possibly having control over colour. LED - light emitting diode changes colour in line with voltage modulation (I think) but check it out for sure
Thank you that’s very helpful
Hi Mel, you can but connectors for the tape led strips, corner connectors etc, there is usually a scissor line where you can cut these. I know you ha e wifi in your vans so if you had an alexa in there you could use smart switches etc to operate things, may even be able to get a dimmable smart switch,
Oh interesting thank you
You can do some very cool lighting affects with them led strip lights using a free software called Wled you can control each led separately iv seen some amazing effects. But don't buy the cheap led strips like you say they do suffer with led failures
Thank you that’s really interesting 👍
Sorry defusers need gluing in they fall out when driving
mel where did u get the ali chanel and diffuser strip ive used there led strips for ages and all good and brought of ebay an led dimmer with a manual knob on the front to dim and also a remote John......
Hi John I got everything from Screwfix
Hi Mel can you put a link up for those led light ally strips with the diffuser please

Hi,
After watching another of your videos can I please ask a question ?
it’s regarding registering as a camper van, in the comments you said to a poster who was refused, he might be better off leaving it registered as a van but didn’t explain why, I was going to try and get my Vivaro registered as a camper but after reading your comment I need to know if there is a downside to being registered as a camper, any advice or information would be gratefully received 👍🏻
Ask the DVLA
Charge the mouse rent
Haha
If it's a female mouse , call it Agatha
Brilliant 👍
