Remember the last video of you collecting the old kitchen units with your dad… this is much better and Neil is your saviour and a top bloke too
Looking great, much better....Just a suggestion for the cladding next to the bed on the bits above the table, I would put a curved radius on the corner, that would hurt the leg if you caught it jumping out and after watching your journey....minimise the risk.....😀😉
czcams.com/video/piPTKBug3qI/video.html
What a great idea!!!
You and Neil have a good relationship, Neil’s a top bloke and definitely someone who’s willing to help as we’ve all seen. Not many Neil’s around these days, cherish your Neil will 😂
Lol I have to agree there mate . Most people seem to forget that it’s not all about them and helping friends is a good thing . But hey what can you do .
Neil and Emma’s channel is fantastic too, check it out “urban vanlife”
Already subbed mate, thanks for the heads up though 👍🏻
Remind me where it say you have to build it, if Neil can help and you have a laugh then that’s cool. Making memories
Marys looking fire now Will,absolute transformation there,she looks incredible,so pleased for you
Neil is the Norm Abram of Van builders.
Your American viewers will get that reference.
Vans looking great now 👍
everybody should have a neil
Seems like Neil just gives off good vibes all around. Cool dude!
❤️❤️❤️🤜🏼
An outstanding achievement. Now you have some extra room with a new sink and running water. New ways to cook your favorite meals. Looking forward to your next adventure with your lady friend as she is really pretty. Thanks for sharing and have a super grand day.
I've been watching your videos on my other channel since the Ford Galaxy stealth camping one went viral a couple of years ago, and now I've got my own van and I knew one day all these van life videos I've been watching will be helpful! It's good to see you looking really happy with your van finally - the kitchen looks so much better now that you've custom made it. I was thinking about getting something already made like what you had before because people are always giving stuff away for free, but I think in the end making something to your exact requirements will always win, plus the satisfaction of knowing everything was DIY.
Round those corners off near the bed. Top job Will
great to see you happy. Well done Neil and well done you. Just don't forget that no-one gets it right first time, even if you're buying a caravan the experts say that you don't get it right until you've bought your third van, because until you've lived in it you have to find out what's right for you!
Van looks bloody gorgeous....well done Will and Neil.
Thank you . Ooohhh the next ones going to be good
Looking good boys! Also, top choice of oven. 👍
What a diamond Neil is for doing all that.
Ssshhh don’t tell him 😂😂 jokes, he’s awesome 👏
Neil Diamond?
Van has come along way Will.
Nothing wrong with having a like minded person assist you with your build.
quick tip.when cutting worktops dont cut finshed side always turn over and cut saves damaging worktop
One word - awesome! I wish I was as skilful and you and Neil, Will.
One suggestion - could you fit some sort of fold down or pull out to go over the seat next to the cooker which is flush with the worktop so that you have something to prepare food on? Or maybe you have a blank which inserts over the sink for this anyway?
2 people always work better together! Good call
I'd been just about to say, at least with Neil, you ain't gonna injure yourself.
Div 😉💜
Looking so much better. One idea maybe to build some board which goes over the hob so you can chop things for cooking. Then can just take it of to cook.
The sliding bit of wood hiding the toilet brought out my dads voice of . . . “Nice” 😂
Huge upgrade. Glad you tossed the previous kitchen. But the lack of benchtop space will be a pain.
“I dont think of a solution, I always think of the problem” - Neil, what a quote
Looks lovely never fall out with Neill he's a true friend x
She’s looking great,pair of legends,much love from Scotland
As my CDT teacher used to say "Keep both hands behind the cutting edge"!
Van looks good. I've just watched a few of your videos. Don't forget you need copper pipes for the gas in a moving vehicle. You can't keep the flexi hose because they can move and also perish.
Awesome tip thanks for watching I’ll put it on the list!
Hi Will, First of all your good friend Neil is one a kind guy who is always willing to help you out, he gives off really good vibes, You both have such a great friendship, OMG your Van looks absolutely amazing, I love all that you have done, The Cooker, Oven, Grill…..you certainly can live in your Van as you have Water, Gas, Electricity, as the saying goes the best things come to those who wait…..you certainly have waited alright! 😊👍
yes I follow Neil and Emma as welll............... they RE AWESOME people to watch on utube love them.
Another van channel had a good idea if you get the smaller porta potty with the smaller tank it fits into a large shopping bag so you can stealth empty it in a public/shop/services toilet
Great Build! No space for cutting and prep though, unless you use your pull out table. Get your mate to make a bread board that sits in the top part of your sink so you can have a sink or extra prep room
You’re not going to get everything right straight off but you are willing to learn,great job!
Wow Will now you have sparkling appliances in Mary-van's kitchen. It looks brilliant! 🚐
Your van is looking like a comfortable live-in home now, love the sage...so restful.
You need to be more careful when using sharp objects....my knees went to jelly when you cut your finger....I could see it coming.
Looking forward to watching your next travel video.
Fabbbbbb job & it looks so much better… you should have Neil do the storage in the back and front!
Soon as you held that Stanley, I was like “oh shit, here we go.”
I would put a removable/ retractable counter top between your new kitchen and the bed for some extra counter space while you cook. When it’s time to eat you could just remove that extra counter and sit
Van looks fab. Always best to get a helping hand and admit what you don’t know. Best way to learn new things. Great job.
Will looks brill . with laminate worktop. If you put masking tape where youre cuts going. Then cut to the line drawn on the tape it wont chip. Now you can pass on the knowledge from neil. Youre learning so much very quickly. Well done
A tip from what we did with our porta-a-loo was to use a bit of scrap ply that was slightly bigger than the base of the loo and then attached some very small wheels to the underside of the ply. Just put a small strip of wood front and back on the ply so the loo fits snugly between them and doesn't slide off the ply when you roll it in and out of the cupboard. Works a treat.
Don't think of it as doing the job twice, think of it as doing the job right 👍
Yas Will so happy for you getting your van in shape man, now get out on a few stealths brother! keep it in yer pants big boy. all the best sheriff!
Glad you will still be able to count to ten on both hands, stay safe mate!
Buddy hooked you up. Good man.
Excellent job both of you, but Neil really is a Diamond 💎
Hi Will, Mary is looking so fresh now, we all need some help sometimes. Thank you Neil for helping Will out, your a good friend. All the best Will. Great video. 🤟🏼✌️🚐
Lets get him to 200k everybody is a fantastic channel
Coming along mint...deffo agree always a good idea to learn from people who know what there doing. Having a bit of a laugh along the way makes it so much better...1 thing i would do is cover the the 2 plastic taps underneath as close to the wheel and anything can fly up and break or snap them off and wouldn't know until you've stopped and wanted water ...looking forward to the next video ...
One of the few bennies of being short, working on my small van, I was able to set the bed lengthwise and add a pullout to expand if needed when the missus tagged along on trips. I know taller people need a lot more space, but for once, my stature paid off hahaha. Opened up a ton of space for other additions for me. It's been great watching your journey from your first vehicle to this point and watching your skills improve by leaps during this build.
I'll be in Liverpool Saturday, en-route to our 7 day road trip to an around the west of Scotland
If you get a really long cushion for a backrest. You can turn bed into sitting areA and people add a reverse osmosis in faucet
Neil seems like such a nice fella and the van looks WOW! I was super impressed.
you and Neil are actual legends haha I am part way through my build not got a clue and keep coming back to you. If by any chance your in scotland give me a shout i have a bar in the house that needs help emptying and a van that needs some pros advice hahah
Thanks Peter 👍🙏
You really don’t give yourself enough credit mate, you’ve come a long way baby. Yes you’ve had some help but knowing when to ask for help, and being brave enough to do it, is a fantastic thing. Pat yourself on the back, go back and watch some of your own videos and see what you’ve battled thru, many of us would have gone screaming mad and torched the van by now. Also, never forget, you’ve got great legs. 😂
That cooker and sink definitely has put more bling in the van. Hopefully not long now to wait for a "van party" and beers video Will.
Thoroughly enjoying your journey Will..sometimes i watch an episode from the beginning to see how far have youve come! Thankyou for taking me with you..even if its its only in my mind lol i don't get out much and this is my escapism 😘 xx
Looks great Will, glad you had some help with Neil.
It looks amazing Will 👏 Good on Neil for helping you out 👍 A lick of paint and some seat cushions and Bob's your uncle and fanny's your aunt 🤣
You were bloody lucky with your you’ve got the main artery their . Keep up the good work on the van
Neil you legend! And Will, you need to name you’re first born after the man 🤣. Glad to see you’re in more of a positive frame of mind after the recent wobble! Vans looking sweet as f! You have got this brother! 🤙🏻
Kitchen Door catches are called roller catch, van looking much better 👌
Looking good.
Storage under bench seat is big enough for Wallace to fill with slippers.
WOW! Absolutely fantastic awesome amazing job. Stunning. From where you have come from to this. Neil has been so much support for you. Well done both
Well done Neil. The sockets by the seat above the toilet storage aren't really in a good place when in use and someone sitting there but that is easily sorted.
It looks frickin great my friend! Shout out Neil for the support, enjoy the hell out of the van Will!
Love your set up will mate, that's how I would have the layout, top bloke Neil for helping you out as well ! Keep up the good work
Your van looks amazing. Neil did a fantastic job. 💚🇬🇧💚
Got such bad anxiety when you were cutting into yourself like that!! Then two seconds later... 😳🥴😵 I'm super careful with my hands as a guitar player/musician. I've never broken a bone either. Amazing considering I've had almost 10 near death experiences in my life. Two things I'm massively phobic of! Looks like your van is coming along very well! Great stuff! 👍👌✌️👏😎
woohoo well done on the kitchen.... and well done to Neil for his all hard work.....
Wonderful work lads! Will, it’s good to see you buzzing again. Neil, fair dues to you for going to help will. You are indeed a good man. (I knew that already). scousers are good folks except for the football team, MAN U fan here. 😂😂😂
Excellent Will ....mine on hold still..as like Neil ..think of the problem then fix it before it's starts ..So watching you build is given me the ideas etc to use and not use ...lol..(thanks Will) ...With all the little extras you do now will be a nice camper ....👏👏👏
From a people carrier that made you flip a table to this almost finished van. The journey is truly there and you should be proud. A lot of people give up half way but you clearly have a vision for your future. I can't wait until you're bouncing around in Europe in your shiny van. Just a heads up, those underside tanks will freeze if you go somewhere cold. Taps too. I put a heater on my set up and it's basic. It's a huge help.
I am sure I am not alone in saying that doing the job twice IS a part of vanlife. If I have had a quid for every time I have done things twice, after testing out my "genuius office ideas" in real life, I would be....well, not a rich man but enough for a very nice dinner :)
The alternative is otherwise to stay in the garage. Better just do it, experience it and then doing it again and then experience it once again until done. You guys are doing just fine! Keep it up :)
Well, not that knife thing though....
To stop laminate worktop chipping out you need to cut the worktop upside down so the blade cuts upwards into the laminate face. Hope that makes sense.
Yes will!! That looks sooo goood... neil what a legend!!!
What about fitting a pull out shower from the back off the van???
Massive progress indeed Will. Fair play to you and Neil. I've subscribed to Neil's channel also 👍
Are you gonna be posting vanlife during summer? Think you should consider 2 ceiling ventilation fans to help with cross breeze and cooking fume. A roof top deck would also be nice to climb up onto while parked on cliffs and looking at the oceans in your country.
The van looks amaaaazing! Good luck with the last pieces. What about an indoor shower? How's your hand doing?
Looks 100 times better
It's a long way from the Galaxy. 😎
Everybody needs a Neil (except maybe Greg Virgoe) 😉
🚐💨❤
Now you need a tv at the foot of your bed that you can pull out on a swivel my friend 😁
Neil is a very clever man. The finish is spot on.
Looks great, only other things left is an awning and a shower.
Loving the new changes in the van!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I sometimes liken Neil to the McGiver of DIY because I can't even fathom what's going on in his mind until he presents the solution to a problem I wasn't even aware of.
Great job sir, would love to see you do some separate old style galaxy videos for the OGs
Looking great!
My only concern is your heater exhaust is right next to your fridge. That seems to be a bad placement.
Nice to see you happy and positive would love more videos will
Great upgrades but next to the cooker you should design a board that you can clip like the draws so you can do food prep but also can put down to sit but loving the channel
van looks the nuts mate , neil is a proper mate . great video
Well done Will and Neil …. Looks great and ready for an overnighter🙏
it is coming together will.
Vantastic progress. The kitchen looks awesome but I would get a small washing up bowl as the big sink will waste a lot of water which is something that you want to avoid if you are going off grid camping.
Looks tidy, both the under and inner setup. Watched some of Neil's vids, must have understanding neighbors,he never stops. Depends on what doing but, I like having someone around to bounce ideas off and learn a little while doing most things. Only time I don't, is when doing wiring stuff, on own for that,helps me keep track. Where/when is the shakedown trip then?
Certainly come a long way when at camp creator when you had just a bed and a folding table, neil and will you absolutely smashed it 👍👍
Bravo Will! (and Neil) The one thing that comes through in this video is how humble you are about not knowing and learning about DIY. The van is looking great and love that green.
I can tell that this van is going to be a beauty. Will there be more Stealth Camping Videos?
