  • Our ugly little duckling is now officially a beautiful arctic swan! The build is complete! We had high expectations for this van but it has absolutely blown them out of the water and we can't wait to get out on the road and see what its like to travel in. The last 8 weeks have been a blast and we have learnt so much from building this van, it has tested our creativity, planning and engineering skills but we are over the moon with the final result. To say we are a little nervous to see if it will perform as well against the wild arctic winter as we have hoped is an understatement, especially as we hate being cold (why did we plan this trip again??), but we will have a much better idea after her first big test on our upcoming road trip around Scotland. So grab a brew and lets get these last few jobs ticked off the list and show you our beautiful beast of a van!

      could have hooked up the far matrass to a bungee or three, so that it falls into place in one smooth action, has you pull the nearest mattress out. yes, i'm a lazy Bit*h

Everything you've ever done in life has taken hard work, determination, bravery, brains and talent. You and John have this in spades. I want to say more, but for once I can't find the words. I'm just so proud of you both. You're amazing people and an unstoppable couple/team and its beautiful to see that as well as seeing the world through your eyes. Keep smashing it you awesome people.

I totally agree with what you said, always best to see different vans than rely on youtube and pictures. I would make a list of what is essential, maybe make a measurement so when you do see the vans, take a tape measure with you to see if it works out. I think for me, this is the first I have seen where a Sainsbury delivery van has been used and looks damn impressive. Another thing, impressive place you have, workshop, house and lots of land to convert in peace. You guys are living the dream.

I think the workmanship on your builds is second to none, the thought, quality and finish is simply amazing. Its so refreshing to see involvement from both of you when it comes to the build work, Jess is a trooper and really gets stuck in. Jon, your skills are superb, I love your engineering thought process. We both really enjoy the banter between you guys. I am incredible jealous of your workshop and tools, I think a man can never have enough tools....which is why I think 'Tool Talk Tuesday' should have its own show on the channel. Anyway, we cant wait to watch your winter adventures in the van and I am particularly looking forward to the next build project. P.S. jess puts up with a lot..... but gives plenty back which we love.😆

      So we will take it to Scotland for a quick test to make sure everything works ok and then off to the arctic in it 👍

    Why dont you intergrate the step into the support for the bed😎😎

  • @darrenjones5885

    The gas locker might need heating. The gas bottles cool as gas comes out of its liquid state. When it gets too cold it stays liquid. I learned that lesson in Scotland. At night while trying to brew up on a cold night. But that was nowhere near as cold as a Nordic winter. Electric heating tape, as used to stop plumbing freezing, round the in use bottle might be enough.

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  Před 8 měsíci +1

      No we can’t but it’s a good thing as it means if Jess wants a tea she has to get out of bed 😂

      @JC-kh1ut Před 8 měsíci +1

    Wow been watching a while and I won't lie, Camper Vans are more my other half's sort of thing. But to watch how clever this has been done is amazing, thank you so much for the videos and what a nice Van it has turned out. I think for upcycling the older Sainsbury's and other delivery vans stock it is a great idea and needs to be put into production. I will agree the content has been well produced, its fun, informative and always has my interest. You 2 have a great chemistry as well which helps immensely.

    Hi, to you both. Just subscribed and watched all your Sainsbury van build video's in one go, which i really enjoyed. The amount of work hours you put in the 8 weeks it took to finish the Job, its a good job you have a trip planned. Everything from start to finish was great to watch, very entertaining and fun.
    Keep doing what you do and enjoy your trip, hopefully as much as i enjoyed watching you both. ❤🎉😂😊😊
