Sorry for disappearing like that - hopefully this video will help clear things up, we are now living and working in our van conversion and dipping our toe back into video making. We hope you remember how we are and still want to join us on this journey...
Thank you for following along on our journey with our very own tiny house on wheels with our Vario Van Conversion! Being able to see the van finally on the road is such a huge step forward! If you want to keep right up to date please follow us on Instagram! @maxandsophieinavan

Good luck. Hot showers. If you are in warm weather, solar showers are so easy and FREE. We have a motorhome with shower but use solar bags as often as possible. OUTSIDE! Never tried in the shower cubicle but I'm sure its easy.
Outside showers, if possible means less tank emptying, no wiping down and it great fun.
Thank you! That’s a really good idea, will look into that! 😀
Great to see you back guys. Sometimes, life just gets in the way of stuff. Looking forward to your travels.
Thanks so much for watching Graham! We are too!! 😀

Great to see you Guys Back, I really enjoyed the van Build and was hoping you two guys were still ok. I look forward to seeing more content as i loved your style of Vids.
Thank you!! We were a bit worried we’d lost all ability to put a video together 🤣 I hope we weren’t too rusty!
you have still got the magic touch to keep me engrossed.
Remember to eat chocolate biscuits chocolate side down. Good to see you back.
Always eating them upside now! It’s changed my life!!
Nice to see you back and still together.
Thanks Paul! Can’t get rid of each other that easily 😂
If it makes you feel better, my van build has slowed down because I really don't want to tackle the sliding door issues lol.

Look into the incinerator toilets, very pricey but they don’t need water. Saw a US channel about RVs and was impressed by the fact that one cup of waste(ash)from 4 people in a weeks use
Ooh we’ll check that out, thank you! 👍
Awesome video and good luck ❤❤🤘👍
Thank you! 😀
This is so great news guys
Thank you! 😀

Hey guys!
Brilliant to see you guys again. Glad to see you're both doing good. Looking forward to seeing what more shenanigans you get up to 😁
Life looks very different for us now compared to when we were teachers Sophie 😅
Shenanigans always!!
I can’t believe how far we’ve come 🤣 I really hope you’re doing good xx
@@MaxSophieinaVan I am thank you! Head Coach at Roller Derby now, thinking of moving out of the flat (into a house not a van unfortunately haha) and in with my partner this year...then cats...lots of cats...that's the plan!
Cats are always a good idea!!!
Safe travels
Thank you!
Welcome back ❤😂😂
Good stuff
Thank you!
self build vans are never finished, im building my second van but my first one still has a few jobs to finish ;-)
It’s a never ending cycle 🤣 wouldn’t have it any other way though!!
Hi, can you give a bit more detail on what you do at these events? Do you have specific jobs you do or is it more along the lines of odd jobs as they come up.
We run a production company, so manage event sites, help with health and safety, help organise, plan and produce the events!
@@MaxSophieinaVan cheers.
Just wondering if you guys are doing OK? All well I hope
I love your videos. I am looking for a van like yours Mercedes Vario, but I have a question, and it is the height of the box, since I am 1.80m tall and I don't know if that model is much higher. Do you also know where I could find the same or similar? Greetings and thank you very much.
I have just seen you in Montignac, I was in the laundry and I thought I know that van lol, are you on the Aire in Montignac tonight?
Oh my goodness no way!! What a small world - we’ve spent the day at Lascaux at the museum and we’re heading to Cahors tonight! X
@@MaxSophieinaVan oh ok, iv been here for about 5wks and it’s really nice, I’m going to Sarlat tomorrow which I think you will pass on your way to Cahors, then I’m going to spend a week in Vasac right on the banks of the Dordogne…
How much did you pay for the van and what was the milagem cheers.
👍 "promo sm"
im trying to like your vid whats happening, i have not disliked your video ????
Brilliant to see you both... looking forward to following your journey xxx
Thank you Tracey! 😀
Good to see you back
Thank you! 😀
