I do feel so very blessed my CZcams channel has taken me on an amazing journey and all thanks to people like you who watch my videos for that I will always be grateful.Thank you 👍🤓👍
Mel, I’m so glad your trip to my shed in darkest rural Somerset proved so successful, not only a win for your access issue, but a happy and comfortable Becky as well 😊 Love it, and a pleasure to entertain you both here too. I’m under pressure now to relieve myself of the other ‘builders yard’ stuff generated by my hoarding instincts over the years!! Well done engineering it all in😊❤
Tim was a family friend many years ago.. re-modelled our little house in muchelney many moons ago. Tim if your reading it’s Ivan’s daughter Lyndsay. ❤ Langport is a beautiful place isn’t it :) Another fab video I’m Loving following this build.
That small tunnel you went through...I could drive a coach through it 😂..but say the tourists on board be shitting it...there's a man made tunnel here in Ireland cut into a huge rock on the ring of kerry when driving through that you should hear the screams from tourists 😂...Great video as always cant wait for shower installation.
Do you know something pal, I’ve got right into watching your videos, you have some fantastic ideas keep it up well done. I’m just getting back into my camper van, I’ve bought an ex minibus transit 2.4 it’s great for me and the wife plus my little chi. Nice one pal brilliant work.
Everything i use in my camper van you will find here in my Amazon Store www.amazon.co.uk/shop/melsvanworld this is an affiliate link so every time you make a purchase i make a small commission good news it doesn't cost you any extra but it helps me to continue to make these videos. thank you.
Hello you Two - Absolutely love ALL your vids ~ a definite inspiration (speaking as someone who has problems using a hammer...) seriously though, have you made any of your wonderfully informative and abnormally amusing vids related to Becky’s Transit custom build? I would love to see how to install the underslung water tank(s) and electrical system. Any chance? Love you both.. xx
Hi Mel, looking on sacred Traveller site 2 days ago ; you ve started building towards the shower area ....when will this video be out ??? Doing a fab job 👀🙏🏻🏴
Hi Mel, just looking at that base lid catch, will it hold the seat/occupant in event of collision with the seat belt attached to it? 🤔 Maybe have to attach belt buckle to the base/floor of van mate👌👍
Grt video Mel, as an avid fan can I ask a daft question...totally unrelated to this video. So I understand the principle of Dc too Dc; but instead linking a van battery upto a lithium battery could I link up too a power pack instead?? This electrics really confusing,just getting to grips with how to link it all up then “poof “😳it’s gone in my brain🤪🤪. 🙏🏻🏴
Hi Jan Yes you can use a VSR along with a DO50s DC Charging Enhancer shrsl.com/4mar4 im using 3 of these in my sprinter one for each bluetti B230 Expansion Battery shrsl.com/4mark and one to the AC200Max shrsl.com/4marr I have all 3 connected to one VSR that is connected to my engine battery. hope this helps.Hi Jan yes you can use a VSR along with a DO50s DC Charging Enhancer shrsl.com/4mar4 im using 3 of these in my sprinter one for each bluetti B230 Expansion Battery shrsl.com/4mark and one to the AC200Max shrsl.com/4marr I have all 3 connected to one VSR that is connected to my engine battery. hope this helps.

@Big VanSmallWorld Mel i have a question. When i am in my van and the doors are closed i cant get wi-fi or phone signal, yet my friend in her motorhome can use phone as normal. And it okay if doors are open. Any suggestions??? Michelle
Get a WiFi exterior antenna : amzn.to/3zwkMle And a WiFi unit : amzn.to/3XXcuNo We’ve got this system and it’s brilliant most of the time with an EE sim inside (purchase seperately) ❤❤❤
Can you do this??? I know you can do this. Your Mel !. But do you need to change any of the vans papers to say that the van is now a single or a 2 seat or from 3 seats in the front to 2 seats in the front etc. (please tell me you know where I'm going with this)?
When I changed my seat in my last van, you just amend the seat on the V5C and send it off. The dvla send you out a new form that says change of seat from 3 to 2 👍🏻
Hi Mel. I've been following your video's for some time, great stuff. I believe you have changed the taxation class of your sprinter. I'm in the middle of sorting my sprinter out. Question will the DVLA except a C bracket for my auning, I noticed in one of your video's you fitted a C bracket. I have tried contacting them, no joy. The DVLA just state the requirement awning bracket?
What a result....!! Good things come to good people x ❤

@@Ritarelay Hi Lindsay, long time no see, what a coincidence your connection with Becky!! Small world, speaking of which I see Ivan on his travels.
Seat base for free, seat for free, large walkway space to the back, and a smile on your face? Absolutely priceless!
Absolutely 👍

Hi Mel, looking on sacred Traveller site 2 days ago ; you ve started building towards the shower area ....when will this video be out ??? Doing a fab job 👀🙏🏻🏴
Thank you because of the football my next video will be out on Monday night around 6 PM it’s all about the shower 👍🤓👍

It should do it’s how they are designed but yeah you’re right it’s a little flimsy so i will be adding more strength to it for sure 👍🤓👍

What about the seat belt, will that just work? Here we need certification for swivel bases and such, or is that tied to the age of the van? Cheers!
Yes it works but I’m still going to replace it with Mercedes one 👍
When s the shower area video being put out 🙏🏻🏴
Coming next 👍
Hiya Mel r you not going to have your front seats to trun round in your van mel
No not yet I’m still working it all out
You did a video in June 2020 on you tube fitting decal graphics on your sprinter. The reason for graphics you said was to register the van with DVLA as a campa.?
Correct and the dvla rejected it so I took them off
@Big VanSmallWorld Mel i have a question. When i am in my van and the doors are closed i cant get wi-fi or phone signal, yet my friend in her motorhome can use phone as normal. And it okay if doors are open. Any suggestions??? Michelle
Get a WiFi exterior antenna : amzn.to/3zwkMle
And a WiFi unit : amzn.to/3XXcuNo
We’ve got this system and it’s brilliant most of the time with an EE sim inside (purchase seperately)
❤❤❤
@SACREDTRAVELLER cheers I don't know if I am in van enough to warrant extra sim. Thanks though.
Can you do this??? I know you can do this. Your Mel !. But do you need to change any of the vans papers to say that the van is now a single or a 2 seat or from 3 seats in the front to 2 seats in the front etc. (please tell me you know where I'm going with this)?
When I changed my seat in my last van, you just amend the seat on the V5C and send it off. The dvla send you out a new form that says change of seat from 3 to 2 👍🏻
Yes correct you do need to notify the DVLA
Hi Mel.
I've been following your video's for some time, great stuff. I believe you have changed the taxation class of your sprinter. I'm in the middle of sorting my sprinter out. Question will the DVLA except a C bracket for my auning, I noticed in one of your video's you fitted a C bracket. I have tried contacting them, no joy. The DVLA just state the requirement awning bracket?
My sprinter tax class hasn’t changed
looks great mate hope the seat belt clips in
Yes 👍 it does I just didn’t think to try it when I was filming 👍
