A little tip if I may. Swap the blinds around so the fly screen pulls from the top and blackout blind from the bottom. You can slightly crack them in the morning to let light in but still walk around in your underpants 😉👌🏽🤣
I don’t care what anyone says you two are the best final finishers on home build camper vans on CZcams. I feel I have the right to judge this having been a luxury yacht interior fitter. Keep up the great work
I have to say that 30 minutes is not enough! I so look forward to your videos and they finish way too quick! Love your van and love you guys! Have a great week ❤
On the door / drawer latch plates, if you get a small length of Aluminium angle, mark and drill a couple of holes (that correspond with the latch plate) in the right distance from the inner edge. hold up against the side panel and drill through the holes, a small nick filed out on the edge will serve as a centre mark. Another template for the collection 🙂
Great renovation. Be aware that diesiel sprinters hate the cold weather below minus 10C. Same with high altitude. If you're going to really cold places, you need to upgrade the ignition coils, thermostat, and egr valves, as well all relevant sensors need upgrades and remaps. You might want to consider removing the erg all together. Also, all fluid and lubricantes need upgrading, and the deisel will need an addative to stop it gumming up when idle over night 1-2% petrol in the mix will work at a push. An insulated engin bay cover also helps. If operating really cold, insulated fuel lines and tanks can be installed. Like always, germany and sweeden aftermarket brands are the secret here.
Has to be, the most entertaining ad I've seen on CZcams! If they were all like that, AdBlocker would go out of business! 😂😂 Cracking video again guys, keep up the good work!
Dissappointed Jess wasn’t up for creating her own celebration, would have been the perfect opportunity to combine multiple gun flexing with her special winking not blinking. 😊
There's a great ski film called CLAIM, it's all about the idea of celebrating properly when you've done something you're proud of! Worth a watch 😉 Keep up the good work guys!
Can't believe it's gonna be over next week! Are you planning to do a "video-diary" type series for your travels? Admittedly, a tough ask for a weekly video but I guess it just depends what you get up to etc.
Yes mate so we will be putting a video out every Saturday of the trip, we tend to travel quite quick so normally get quite allot in so yeah hopefully you enjoy it 😁👍
Enjoy your antics🤗 Diesel waxes over when cold so I hope you have something in mind to keep it liquid. Also bottled gas freezes when pressure is released. Stay warm and safe🍻
Cheers mate, yeah so I only learned the other day from the farmer next door that they put an affective in Diesel to stop it freezing and the petrol stations do this automatically but he has to ask for it when ordering a tank refill for his farm
For the first time in my life, I feel the need for a plasma cutter! Looks awesome, can’t wait to see it finished. I’m still volunteering to drive the Defender to pull you out of trouble on your trip 😂
Fair play for landing a big boy sponsor, well deserved!! I use quite a bit of R-Tech kit, I have one of their mig's, hand held plasma cutter and the CNC plasma uses an R-Tech unit. They're just up the road from us and have great customer service. One thing John FFS teach Jess how to talk, it's data not darta :) damn Aussies!! Oh and bloody lovely job on that bungee, proper swish, maybe you could fit a few more? All the best guys B&Y
Thanks guys, we was quite nervous about doing the sponsor thing but mostly good comments which is good so thanks 👍 you are making me jealous with the cnc. Yeah I like there gear, I fancy a tig of there’s really, I know I told her it’s data but she was having none of it I recon I’ll have to try and squeeze a few more bungees in somewhere, 👌
@@truebluetravellers If you get a Tig I'd defiantly recommend getting an ACDC. I got the DC only unit as I has some stainless work to do but regret not getting the ACDC now as I'd love to try ali welding.
@@truebluetravellers If you ever need anything cut on the CNC let me know and I'll do it for cost price, Also have a friend who works for DPD so can post for free 👍
Guys I absolutely love your channel, your banter and connection with each other is fantastic you both put a smile on my face I look forward to your videos every week,
Jess, could you do a TTT about different hand held cutting tools and how well they cut through various objects such as card board and bungee and how easy they work in tight spaces.
TBT videos are always well executed. Perfect content, knowledge and personality to create very engaging footage. Jon's knowledge base is so vast, he has confidence in all his work which is more enjoyable to watch than some who are all talk. There is something about Jess which is very endearing. Her smile is gorgeous and her manner is totally adorable. I hope their relationship off camera has this same strong dynamic. Its inspiring to watch. ❤️
Wow what a thing to say 💙 thank you so much for you kind and generous compliments. There’s a lot more swearing that goes on off camera but we are the same otherwise 😂 As much as we like giving each other grief we have always said that we love that we make a good team and are so grateful to have found that in each other 💙
@truebluetravellers It certainly shows on the videos and it's a connection which brings a massive strength to your content. I really like what your channel has, but I LOVE how you deliver it 💪
Uses need a child traveling around with children is amazing and great way for them to learn. Can’t wait for the day your building a kids bed in one of them
We love kids and spend lots of time with our niece and nephews but have no plans to have our own. We have made a van with a pull out kids bed before though which was fun so might have to do another one one day 😀
Looking good guys 👌🏼❤ (Apart from the bungee) 🤔Hhhhmmmmmm!!! ❌ But one thing Jess, you don’t need a plum in your pocket, you live with one (sorry John) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Can’t wait for next week, you make it look so easy. I think you should go in to the van building business, once you’ve been on your adventures, you’d make a killing 🚚🛠️💷💰💷💰💷 I will say, I’m a bit disappointed that we didn’t see either one of your Klinsmans 🙋🏼♂️⚽️😂😂 See you next week ✌🏻
Yes Louise 💪💙 the bungee has been getting too much love for my liking, don’t want him thinking he can sneak another one in! 😂😂 more than fair enough, I call him much worse things than a plum 😂 that’s a really lovely compliment thank you 💙
@@truebluetravellers the bungee does not deserve any love whatsoever, it’s an eyesore, if any more appear next week John, I’m afraid I will have to put in a serious complaint to management aka.Jess 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please, no more🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I can imagine what other names you call him Jess, but to follow CZcams’s rules, he’s a massive plum 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I am in Florida. This is great stuff and I am learning about Van building and how to understand your accents. I am going to get one of the heater controls. One thing you could check out is Mopeka tank level sensors. Internal battery and uses bluetooth to indicate your tank levels
Love watching you Guys, zero chance of me building a camper, well not in this lifetime 😂. I’ve been Caravanning over 30 yrs so got the wanderlust. I have my own CZcams Channel and love everything Caravanning. Your vlogs are very professional, looking forward to next episode 👍
Hello Jess and John mick from Hull really enjoyed this episode hope you are both well and I really like your motorhome I will look forward to your next episode xx😊😊
Hi guys! Long time watcher first time commenter. Have you considered just running the number 1 waste straight out the van floor (to eliminate need for emptying)? That’s what we did with our camper and realistically wild wees are somewhat acceptable anyway. We put a valve on the tank so we could keep it onboard if need be but mostly just let it drain out (unless on a site or someone’s drive or something). Also did you consider doing two vans alongside each other? The quality of your builds is so high it occurs to me you could offset the cost of your own build if you built another at the same time to sell? Thanks guys and keep up the great content - your channel is one of my absolute favourites at the moment!
Thanks for following along mate, I did think of this mate as they also do a toilet with no container and just a pipe so you can plum it to a tank and like you say install an electric valve to empty where u are aloud, So our biggest issue is space really we could do with some more storage space really but yeah would be cool to do 2, I did think now we have done 1 it would be good to do another straight away as we know what to do and not to do and would probably take half the time, don’t think Jess would be keen mind 😂
Can you go through the weight of the van beforehand and when completed everything, ie keeping it under 3500 so no c1 license is needed thanks just love the fun way you do the videos 👍
Cheers mate, so yep it’s was 2060kg unladen, with steps and ac unit removed, We will get it weighed too once complete and will be doing a full cost breakdown too for the whole build 👍
Although we will not be building one of these campers, we are building a Land Rover camper and I know have all our team watching your videos now and we have taken loads of ideas from your videos. ALso you can tell you brought up around the military, you have the humour
@@truebluetravellers it is exactly the way we work with the veterans we help, always laughing about something and giving each other abuse, it's what we know and how we operate with each other
I recently added a fan in my RV to ventilate the new ecoflow power system that I installed under my dinette seat. I did not need the fan to run all of the time so I am adding a thermal switch. It has not arrived yet so no performance review but here is what I ordered off of Amazon: 2PCS KSD9700 5A 250V Thermostat Thermal Protector fuses Temperature Switch,Normal Open,35C
If you put the blinds/fly screens the other way up it means that you can peek out of the top of the window whilst providing more privacy as the blind obscures more of the interior as viewed from outside. Dave Birmingham
Guys I found your channel today and I love it! Watched all the Sainsburys van and Landy builds already. You have a great attitude and CZcams chemistry. Congratulations on being awesome 🎉.
jon and jess you two if you have time is to fit out these vans as another buisness with your skill level it would take off once again its an awesome job you guys have done keep it up
Brilliant video as always!! The time viewing it goes so fast. Very interesting and very entertaining. Hope all is well and hope you have a great weekend, take care of yourselves
You are doing a great job. Colors are not for me but man it look great. Thats for the bungee, they are so practical in so many mays, youl find your self thanking him for putting them in. Ofcause you won't, but you shoud tell him, thats 30 years maridge exoereance talking. It's the little things in life that count and come up latet when you think about things. You need curtains. Love the idear about the boot door with the light that leeds directley to the kitche so when you load shipping you dont have to klimb the steps to load it. One thing thogh i dont know but you need some sort of sound dampening on the walls, it's just a bit echoey. Plus its an other layer of insulation for when it get's cold and you got to use a heater. An electic awning on the side of the van is also a great idear so that i the summer you can send time outside in the shade usung your outside electricety, dont know if you have thoght of that. A clap down table serving for an outside table top enableing you to cook and maybe put a flatscreen on it to watch some youtub on the big screen outside. Last but not least outside cladding around the bottom chassis making the van look stramligne and peotect you tanks from 1, vue, incase of tampering with them. 2 wether. Things get uggly verry quickley if the sun is shining on them spetialy if they are blak. I washed my black Tshirt and left it outside in the sun to dry and forgot to bring it in for one day. Next evening when i got it of the chair, the sun had faded all the colour. Normaly no probmem but was my LV and i can tell you i now do arrent aownd the animals and stables in style.lol
Thanks very much we are really happy with how it’s coming together. We don’t plan to use it in the summer but they are some nice ideas. The echo will be much better once we get the soft furnishings in 😀
What a beautiful build, you have created a lovely smart cosy van....only just fallen onto your channel, and so glad I have, you are so funny and entertaining. Love the craftsmanship
You guys are great, we have been watching Trent and Allie and kombi crew for a couple of years now, we are always looking for van build content and yours has to be the best we've watched so far, the finish on all your builds is absolutely brilliant. We always look forward to your videos, great stuff 👍👍
Thoroughly enjoying your you tube streams.......Ive watched your Australia trip...travels through Europe....and back home....all the van conversions which are brilliant. My son Chris got me hooked on this channel....he would love to convert a van and travel....but all pipe dreams at the moment. The pair of you are so funny and lovely I wish you well. Not many things make me laugh these days but you two do.....stay happy and safe...can't wait for next saturday..I'm 72
Vents for electrics behind fridge : heat rises, they should have been positioned at the max height poss inside the volume ;) the fridge will add its own heat as well, people are right lol 😂 great job and effort for both, one of the best and ‘easiest’ (for this level of quality achieved you really worked very efficiently). Thanks for sharing it with us 🥰 Now add anther vent in the right place ☝️
A SOG unit will do a similar job to your Composting toilet in the way it keeps the smell down, but the fans on them do pack up as they are running all the time. I have still to get round to fitting one. We just tend to bung in a Biologicals washing capsules if needed to help keep the thing from stinking. I didn't know that it was the combination of ones an twos that made them stink. Nice bung Jon. I turned out TV cabinet into a rotating food storage cupboard and used bung cord to allow longer items to be easily stored. So a Bungy always has a place. You need to put more in the garage to stop things from sliding about. Looking forward to next weeks video.
Cheers mate, yeah I never knew it either till we got these as when we first got it I didn’t believe it but sure enough it’s true, if anything 1 is worse than 2 too 🤷♂️
@@truebluetravellers If my Youngest is anything to go by. Then most defiantly number ones stink, and then if you park in a Lay by that Truckers use too.
Nice 👌🏼. The only thing I would have personally added would have been an access door for under the bed/garage so that I could squirm in if there was a problem and it was huffing it down outside. Unless you're going to do a lift up bed that is.
Jon, you should have made a nice white Bungee, Jess might have been happier with it, looking forward to your trips in them, have just finished catching up on all the videos, amazing you are at 40K subscribers now .. keep it going
Cheers mate, yeah I know crazy right, 40k 👌 mind blowing, she probably would of liked the white one more 🤔 definitely glad I fitted the black one now 😂😂
Wow. Just look at those subs rising week on week. You guys are smashing it. Won't be long now and we will get to see this beautiful van with magnificent vistas in the background. Have you got the ferry booked yet J and J?
Cheers mate, much appreciated, so we will go on the tunnel as not the biggest fans of boats and we normally book a few days before we go to be honest as we love just going when we want rather than booking, can’t wait to see some of the scenes 😁
Just love you guys...You can't have one without the other. You are so entertaining and funny. John, love your tool talk and Jess certainly uses them well. Can't wait for the final finish..❤❤

What a lovely thing to say 💙 thank you
Great renovation. Be aware that diesiel sprinters hate the cold weather below minus 10C. Same with high altitude. If you're going to really cold places, you need to upgrade the ignition coils, thermostat, and egr valves, as well all relevant sensors need upgrades and remaps. You might want to consider removing the erg all together. Also, all fluid and lubricantes need upgrading, and the deisel will need an addative to stop it gumming up when idle over night 1-2% petrol in the mix will work at a push. An insulated engin bay cover also helps. If operating really cold, insulated fuel lines and tanks can be installed. Like always, germany and sweeden aftermarket brands are the secret here.
Yeah we found this out the hard way mate 😂🤦♂️ egr played up something chronic so had to get it deleted
It's getting there guys can't wait see bit of colour to white.

Gonna miss watching you guys on Saturdays when this van is done it's become a ritual. Love what you've done with it.

We will get it weighed too once complete and will be doing a full cost breakdown too for the whole build 👍
Although we will not be building one of these campers, we are building a Land Rover camper and I know have all our team watching your videos now and we have taken loads of ideas from your videos. ALso you can tell you brought up around the military, you have the humour
Cheers mate, I think the same when I meet military people sometimes, just certain mannerisms and words etc, strange really hey
@@truebluetravellers it is exactly the way we work with the veterans we help, always laughing about something and giving each other abuse, it's what we know and how we operate with each other
I recently added a fan in my RV to ventilate the new ecoflow power system that I installed under my dinette seat. I did not need the fan to run all of the time so I am adding a thermal switch. It has not arrived yet so no performance review but here is what I ordered off of Amazon: 2PCS KSD9700 5A 250V Thermostat Thermal Protector fuses Temperature Switch,Normal Open,35C
Love this mate, didn’t think about a thermal switch, I’m definitely gonna install this, cheers mate 👍
I came for the great teamwork but stayed for the BUNGY.
😂😂😂😂 long live the bungee 😂😂😂👍👍
If you put the blinds/fly screens the other way up it means that you can peek out of the top of the window whilst providing more privacy as the blind obscures more of the interior as viewed from outside. Dave Birmingham
Nice Dave, love it ingenious idea that one 👌
Must admit, that is a nice bungee.
Great content
👌👌 piece of art hey 😍😂😂😂
Guys I found your channel today and I love it! Watched all the Sainsburys van and Landy builds already. You have a great attitude and CZcams chemistry. Congratulations on being awesome 🎉.
Cheers Jim that’s much appreciated mate 👍
Goallllllllllllllll the bungee made it lol great work guys
Get in 💪👍😂
I have only just found you and you make me laugh. Love your show and behaviour is cracking. 😊❤🎉
Thanks very much 😊💙
Needs more bungee's lol. I can't wait to see this bad boy van on the road, getting closer guys!
Definitely gotta try and sneak a few more in, 😂😂 cheers mate 👍
jon and jess you two if you have time is to fit out these vans as another buisness with your skill level it would take off once again its an awesome job you guys have done keep it up
Cheers mate much appreciated 😁👍
HERE WE GO
Thanks 😁have a great weekend 👍
@@truebluetravellers thanks, hope you have a great weekend too
Only one word required, Brilliant 👍🫶
Cheers mate 👍
Brilliant video as always!! The time viewing it goes so fast. Very interesting and very entertaining. Hope all is well and hope you have a great weekend, take care of yourselves
Thanks Peter 💙👍
Well done you 2 it looks brilliant. Good luck with the artic mission.
Cheers mate that’s much appreciated 👍
You are doing a great job. Colors are not for me but man it look great. Thats for the bungee, they are so practical in so many mays, youl find your self thanking him for putting them in. Ofcause you won't, but you shoud tell him, thats 30 years maridge exoereance talking.
It's the little things in life that count and come up latet when you think about things.
You need curtains. Love the idear about the boot door with the light that leeds directley to the kitche so when you load shipping you dont have to klimb the steps to load it.
One thing thogh i dont know but you need some sort of sound dampening on the walls, it's just a bit echoey. Plus its an other layer of insulation for when it get's cold and you got to use a heater.
An electic awning on the side of the van is also a great idear so that i the summer you can send time outside in the shade usung your outside electricety, dont know if you have thoght of that. A clap down table serving for an outside table top enableing you to cook and maybe put a flatscreen on it to watch some youtub on the big screen outside. Last but not least outside cladding around the bottom chassis making the van look stramligne and peotect you tanks from 1, vue, incase of tampering with them. 2 wether. Things get uggly verry quickley if the sun is shining on them spetialy if they are blak. I washed my black Tshirt and left it outside in the sun to dry and forgot to bring it in for one day. Next evening when i got it of the chair, the sun had faded all the colour.
Normaly no probmem but was my LV and i can tell you i now do arrent aownd the animals and stables in style.lol
Thanks very much we are really happy with how it’s coming together. We don’t plan to use it in the summer but they are some nice ideas. The echo will be much better once we get the soft furnishings in 😀
Next week Jess will have to do the Klinsman celebration
😂😂😂👍👌 working on it 👍
The best, most informative (and silliest) video yet. Well done guys . When you hoping to get away to Scotland?
Cheers terry, so hoping to get sorted and get going in the next few week so fingers crossed it all goes to plan 👍

What a beautiful build, you have created a lovely smart cosy van....only just fallen onto your channel, and so glad I have, you are so funny and entertaining. Love the craftsmanship
Thanks very much Sharon, lovely of you to say 😁
You guys are great, we have been watching Trent and Allie and kombi crew for a couple of years now, we are always looking for van build content and yours has to be the best we've watched so far, the finish on all your builds is absolutely brilliant. We always look forward to your videos, great stuff 👍👍
Thanks guys, That’s a massive compliment, I have watched allot of Trent and ally’s stuff too, loved there cabin build, the snow was insane 😁
just stumbled on these videos, you absolutely crack me up you 2, much fun and very knowledgable, excellent content and well composed.
Cheers mate much appreciated 👍
Thoroughly enjoying your you tube streams.......Ive watched your Australia trip...travels through Europe....and back home....all the van conversions which are brilliant. My son Chris got me hooked on this channel....he would love to convert a van and travel....but all pipe dreams at the moment. The pair of you are so funny and lovely I wish you well. Not many things make me laugh these days but you two do.....stay happy and safe...can't wait for next saturday..I'm 72
Cheers mate, tell Chris to keep plugging away mate and chase the dream, it will be worth it for sure, thanks for following along with us too 💪💪💪💪💙💙💙
Thank you for taking the time to reply.....I will tell Chris...... I laughed at your "Cheers mate".....Im Eileen age72@@truebluetravellers
😂😂😂 well you can be my 72 year old mate Eileen 😂💙
I designed and make the corner clamp adapters and well chuffed to see you guys using them!!
Ah Brilliant good man, love people who comes up with ideas like this 👌👍
You two are fucking brilliant. Love it
😂😂thanks mate 👍
Hi guys this has been a blast to watch keep up the great work well done
Thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed it 💙
This is just perfect because I woke up from a nightmare
Oh no! Hope your day gets better 💙
@@truebluetravellers yh last night the pub was having fire works I thought ot was gun shots I was shaking 🫨 😳
@@georgeontheroad sorry to hear that mate ❤️
@truebluetravellers no problem you fixed me 🥰😍
Genuinely love this series. As someone who barely owns a set of screwdrivers that tool setup makes me so jealous haha.
😂😂😂 cheers mate 👍
Vents for electrics behind fridge : heat rises, they should have been positioned at the max height poss inside the volume ;) the fridge will add its own heat as well, people are right lol 😂 great job and effort for both, one of the best and ‘easiest’ (for this level of quality achieved you really worked very efficiently). Thanks for sharing it with us 🥰
Now add anther vent in the right place ☝️
Cheers mate, someone just suggested a temp switch too fan the fans which I thought was a cracking idea 👌
Looking wicked guys.
Cheers mate 👍
A SOG unit will do a similar job to your Composting toilet in the way it keeps the smell down, but the fans on them do pack up as they are running all the time. I have still to get round to fitting one. We just tend to bung in a Biologicals washing capsules if needed to help keep the thing from stinking. I didn't know that it was the combination of ones an twos that made them stink.
Nice bung Jon. I turned out TV cabinet into a rotating food storage cupboard and used bung cord to allow longer items to be easily stored. So a Bungy always has a place. You need to put more in the garage to stop things from sliding about.
Looking forward to next weeks video.
Cheers mate, yeah I never knew it either till we got these as when we first got it I didn’t believe it but sure enough it’s true, if anything 1 is worse than 2 too 🤷♂️
@@truebluetravellers If my Youngest is anything to go by. Then most defiantly number ones stink, and then if you park in a Lay by that Truckers use too.
Nice 👌🏼. The only thing I would have personally added would have been an access door for under the bed/garage so that I could squirm in if there was a problem and it was huffing it down outside. Unless you're going to do a lift up bed that is.
We did thing about doing something like this, would be good if you had dogs too as they could have the garage as there bed 👍
Jon, you should have made a nice white Bungee, Jess might have been happier with it, looking forward to your trips in them, have just finished catching up on all the videos, amazing you are at 40K subscribers now .. keep it going
Cheers mate, yeah I know crazy right, 40k 👌 mind blowing, she probably would of liked the white one more 🤔 definitely glad I fitted the black one now 😂😂
Wow. Just look at those subs rising week on week.
You guys are smashing it.
Won't be long now and we will get to see this beautiful van with magnificent vistas in the background.
Have you got the ferry booked yet J and J?
Cheers mate, much appreciated, so we will go on the tunnel as not the biggest fans of boats and we normally book a few days before we go to be honest as we love just going when we want rather than booking, can’t wait to see some of the scenes 😁
@@truebluetravellers the tunnel is fabulous.
Erin, my fiance hates boats and the tunnel is so quick it's amazing.
Bon voyage you two.
Just love you guys...You can't have one without the other. You are so entertaining and funny. John, love your tool talk and Jess certainly uses them well. Can't wait for the final finish..❤❤
Thanks very much Susan 😁😁😁
