  • A conversion of a ford transit connect into a cosy home from home, total build cost £1700 including the van.
    & featuring Marlowe the wonder dog.
    The design ethos was a cosy place to rest after surfing or hiking. Which could also be used in the shoulder seasons.

    You did a great job with this - I love the ambient lighting around the van for night mode. Makes it look so cosy! And of course, Marlowe is the best.

    Great build! I don't know which I like more, the protection runes or the Chuck & Di Dishware. Its been a few years since you made this. I look forward to catching up on your adventures and modifications.

    Hey,
    This is great.
    I recently bought a 2012 connect swb , it's a little small I think but with the passengers seat folding flat I get the benefit of using that to my advantage for the bed.

    Loved this 🤞 Ill find a have decent LWB connect soon as I'm planning on doing a conversion been a long time dream. The electric side is the only bit I'm dreading can do the rest myself. I'm hoping to do solar and get a 300w kit that hopefully can just run to a leisure battery with out doing a alternator upgrade and wire in or a inverter. Still have to do a lot of research on all that so many questions 🤣 Loved the runes Im not religious but thought they were cool with the meaning and also molly is adorable. Happy travels looking forward to more video's to come 🙌

      Hey the leisure battery wires directly into the car battery on a split charge, you'll only need an inverter if you plan to run high power electronics off it, like a laptop / kettle.

    Do you watch your video before posting?

      @transcendtravel  Před 3 lety +1

      I removed the tv and have changed it slightly since the video, most cooking when i used it was outside, but could be useful if cold outside to fire up the gas burner on cold days.

    Hi! Can you give some specs on the van. Is it a swb, lwb, high roof, low roof?

    Loved the build right up until you showed the runes. As a Christian I would not want those things in my camper.

      Ha ha are you fucking serious ?
      Firstly; neither I nor anyone else watching this care.
      Secondly; without the roman emperor Constantine around 400 AD, changing the roman state religion to Christianity for purely political reasons, you right now would likely be a pagan worshipping Jupiter, instead of Christ.

      I have a tattoo from Thailand made by a Buddhist Munk. Which is protecting me more than any God has ever done..
      So many names, so many stories, but they are all but none the same, as we have created them in our mind.
      Bless you Andrew, I hope your God is more forgiving than you. ❤️

      I love that they used protection spells that were meaningful to them. Just imagine he wrote Joshua 24:15 or something meaningful to you and leave it be. ✌🏻
