    Lovely van build guys. Really liked the interior design 👍The solar panel and roof baskets looked fantastic (given me ideas thanks 👍) which also gave the van a kinda off road/ off grid look. I'm a VW Caddy owner they're great vans bullet proof tbh...great to see Onyx😅....BTW can't believe you have your burgers without ketchup! 😬

    I’d love this all powers r600. I’ve just bought an Old Ford focus estate to use as a tiny camper and I’m always running out of power. This would mean I can charge my laptop and everything else on the road. I’ve also got an old boat that I travel around in, so this would be perfect. I’d love to win this, it would be a game changer for me. Love this caddy conversation too ❤✌️

    Love how this van has come along, lots of time and effort gone into that worktop, beautiful but I think you need to take a bit more care with the gas regulator on it. It looks so cozy in there and ideal for spontaneous breaks. Shame the weather couldn't have been better for you. I could use a power-station like that for running my guitar amplifier whilst on the road or busking, Ideal.

    Great vid guys as always. I seem to remember you posted a photo of your park up and I instantly recognised it as Catbells. Keswick was my childhood hometown so I know this area very well. If you head up that way again please consider the hike to Force crag mines, there and back from the small car park is maybe around four miles but the scenery will absolutely blow your mind. Don’t forget to take your drone for this very epic walk. Thanks for sharing this video as it took me back 50 years when I departed the lakes for 12 years military service and many years of working around the globe. ❤ Nobby Nomad xx
