Thanks so much for watching you lovely lot.. Who’s excited for travel content again? Coming very soon, whoop whoop😁😁.. Like our new shirts and mugs?.. Check out the full range here; the-expawers.creator-spring.com/?
Very exited!
What I like about your channel is that you are both down to earth and you do affordable travel in a normal van . There are not many channels like this some are so far removed from reality and what is affordable to the average person , I have unsubscribed to those type of channels. Thank you for keeping it real .
You’re welcome, just us being us, that’s all we can do! Know what you mean though with some channels; Like watching celebrities I guess, Nick and I are certainly not celebrities 😂😂
@@theexPAWers Yep and some like to flaunt their wealth
I would never be able to afford to do any of this, and the van is far from "normal"... especially now.
One thing I really enjoy about your videos, are your healthy relationship.
❤❤awwwww, Thankyou☺️❤❤xx
Hi you 4 love your videos so look forward. To seeing your videos I’m coming to Spain end of th month ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Phew ….. you really have inspired me and many others. Well chuffed fot ya 😘😘😘
Never apologize guys, the build was all part of moving forward. You're there now woohhhoooo ❤
Bloody well done you two ! A hell of an achievement all round. Enjoy using it now.
awwwww, Thankyou☺️☺️xx
Yay! Well done and it’s great to see you both so upbeat with the completion. Viewers need to remember, you don’t have a film crew following you or a post-production team working on all the editing. Instead, you guys do everything and it’s bloody fantastic!!
I love the blue above the sliding door; if you open the blinds and it’s a bit murky, that vibrant blue is a constant reminder the bad weather will pass and blue skies will return quickly.
Your unbuild/rebuild has been great to watch and I’ve so enjoyed your journey.
Travel time - bring it on!!!
awwwww, Thankyou so much.. Good to hear your feedback and yes we thought the same for above the doors and windows.. Can’t wait to share the upcoming travel vlogs ☺️xx
I’m truly amazed you don’t have thousands of more subscribers… you’re lovely.. entertaining.. genuine & inspirational! Safe travels guys wherever your path may take you 🌟🌸🌟
Thank you so much!! 😁
Don’t worry I’m sure most people are with you for your honesty in your reviews and your communication skills. Nothing wrong with trying different things. I’m based in the UK and you’re the only channel I watch for reviews and advice, I’ve looked at others but no match to you. You’re down to earth and honest 👍
How nice is your message 😊.. Thanks so much, we appreciate it.. Have a lovely weekend ❤
What an achievement! You guys have made it all look a lot easier than I'm sure it was. Can't wait to see your further adventures 😊
Thanks so much! It definitely was not easy.. One of the hardest things we’ve done.. Never again!😂😂
Favourite van people. Glad you can now enjoy the fruit of your labours. Go and have fun.
Thankyou so much ❤️ x
I have to say I totally disagree with Sarah's thoughts in the nicest possible way 😂😂
your vlogs have been very entertaining funny and informative. You guys are amazing together very watchable one of the best channels out there. Well done and happy trails to come.
❤❤
Woo hoooo, finished. It's looking brilliant guys, proud moment. Love the colour scheme. I think you'll be really comfy in this van, it's got everything you need, sorted. Looking forward to seeing your travel Vlogs once again. It will be lovely if you can get those bikes on your garage space, they look amazing. Fingers crossed all is well with the paperwork. See you next week xxxx
awwwww, Thankyou Liz.. Very excited about packing up the van.. Just the paperwork to go and we’ll be ready to hit the road ❤
I love the splashes of blue. Surely Nick's table should be painted blue too?? 🤩
Thanks, I’m sure that table will soon get coffee and red wine stained and need to be painted blue 😂😂
You guys did a fantastic job on your van build and finished it off beautifully! I really like how your magic carpet on the walls turned out too! Looking forward to your travel vlogs now! 😊👍🐶🐕🚐
Thanks so much.. It’s been a crazy 4 months for sure ❤
Nick reminded me of Blakey from the TV show "On the busses" with his clipboard 😆 Great to see it all completed guys she looks great. 👍
"Thanks for sticking by us" you wallies ... you are a pleasure to watch and though I do feel your awkwardness with the builds bits ... you both wear it well. Adventures ahoy .

You are both so happy in this blog and understandably so and it’s great that the fur babies are able to get into bed all by themselves. I do wonder though, where are you going to sleep?
Great blog And let the adventures begin.

Whoop 🙌 Thanks so much for watching..😁
18:36 in, thought that was Nicks leg sticking out of the cupboard 😀. Well done on completing. Been a great journey to follow.
Thanks 👍
The van looks amazing, I particularly like the holy doors 😂 & that magic carpet is brilliant stuff.
Haha, yeah the doors are fab and full of holes😂.. Thanks so much for watching..😁
You will have years of fun in this van so the 4 months building it will be so worth it. It’s been quite a journey what with the Vinney mechanical issues before the build. I am excited for you to resume adventures in your fab van. Frankly best build I have seen as it’s done by you for your needs. Love that little step seat brilliant!!
awwwww, Thankyou so much Paul, we’re looking forward to showing it in proper action ☺️xx
I am not sure - if you guys are my favourites after following you for nearly a year or if the prize goes to your😂 18:15 charming doggies that always make me smile in most episodes. They are happy and you give them love, fun & and an adventurous life! ❤😊😅
l will be honest.. i found this vid a bit manic.. calm restored at end with appearance of a chilled-out Charlie.. and a barking Diz!
Love the build,love the colors,love the holes,love the episode❤❤️🔥☁️🌈🌈☺️
Thanks so much😊
The holes in the cubers remind me of 101 Dalmatians ❤❤❤❤❤
After all the crap you are still looking amazing, good life 💟
Great news that the finishing line is in sight and travels are starting soon.I hope your hand and fingers make a speedy recovery Sarah.See you and the pups on the next.
Just the paperwork to go now❤😊
Fantastic job well done it’s been exciting and I feel like I have been on the journey as well!! I feel knackered so god only knows how you feel! Hope the wine was a good enough celebration 🎉
Hi sarah & Nick , never seen you both smile so much when you announced ..... your done van finished . You've worked so hard but it's paid off guy's it looks great . Love the blue 💙 and the breakfast shelf is a great idea . Looks like the dogs are enjoying it & are all ready for the first trip out . Well done guy's ..... great job .
Oh did I mention the breakfast bar ?? Great job Nick 👏
Looking forward to your first proper adventure xx
So glad you're all done! Fingers crossed for the paperwork.
And now, TRAVELS! Where's first?
Nice! Fold the handlebars down and drop the seat and those bikes will slot into the garage perfectly. Add a bungy cord to keep em tidy against the side, job's a good'n.
Congratulations Nick and Sarah and furr babies on a fantastic van build.👍👋👋👋👋its been great watching you and sharing your ups and downs and hopefully the spanish Vanbuilding regulators will be happy. (They better be!!) Cant wait to go along with you on your adventures.
The boys look pretty dam pleased too. Well done💕💕👋👋
Yes they better be 😓😳.. Thanks so much for watching..😁
Right, I await my reward... As a retired engineer and dedicated DIYer I admire your new found skills. You'll be constantly tweaking things now for months, if not years, to come!
Yours is the only van life vlog I follow, the rest are cr*p by comparison.
Thanks so much and you're right we will be making changes always 😂
Thank goodness it's done!!.....sooo boring being one of your followers...Ha no no, it has been such a fun journey, not boring at all, I have loved watching this bit as much as the travel, your friends that I meet up with every week..it's a strange concept, but that's how this works...
Thanks for sticking with us. 😉
I think the carpet is a good idea it will give more insulation and sound proofing . I love the different shades of blue it give a beach feel.
You didnt fail
You didnt meet the deadline.
That is not failure.
It means the hands on the clock wound faster than your hands worked.
Give yourselves a
Hip Hip Hooray
You've done brilliantly
Love your colors! Congrats on finishing up!
awwwww, Thankyou☺️☺️xx
Guys you've done a Fantastic job with Velton he's Gorgous ❤. Loved the videos of the build. Road trip soon , hugs to Dizzy & Charlie ❤ . ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic job Nick & Sarah! Well done both! Sending congratulatory hugs and love to you & the doggies! xx🐾🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
awwwww, Thankyou Jan ❤☺️xx
Looks AMAZING you have worked so hard and done a great job enjoy xxfor the BOYS
❤❤ Thankyou so much ❤️ x
Wasn't to sure when first started the build!! However it now looks AMAZING and very much you, well done both.
There're so many great ideas in your van so it's been interesting to see what you come up with next and the layout with the bed where it is really challenges the 'bed at the back / garage' tradition.
You did a great job filming the build. I love it. Looks perfect. Can't wait to see the next chapter and how the boys enjoy it.
Great job💪
💗Love you guys! On the contrary, the last four months have been QUITE riveting,,, and sawing and hammering and measuring and cutting and screwing....ooops! We loved every one of the videos but now on to adventures! Go safely, we'll be watching!💗
Wow, the time has flown! Well it feels like it to us but maybe not you. So pleased for you and look forward to your travels. By the way, I have loved these build vlogs as you just kept it real. Now is the time to enjoy the fruits of your labour😊
Whoop whoop!!
Well done guys and the boys for testing out the bed and step, fingers crossed for the next stage, the dreaded Spanish paperwork. A part that we nearly gave up on but it will all be worth it in the end even though extra grey hairs will appear 😂
Look forward to your travel days, you are amazing ❤
Thanks for let us following you in the van built, i have enjoy looking on you. I think you have done a greate job! Looking now forward to traveling videos with you and the dogs.
Congratulations to you both on finishing the van build, I have enjoyed it from start to finish 🎉🎉🎉.
Really looking forward to seeing you guys travelling around together, being back to normal, but it has been brilliant to watch.
Thanks for taking us all with you, see you all next time😊😊
THANK YOU,,..NO ... NOT so, Sarah.... (at nearly the end... ) IT HAS definitely been VERY VERY riveting!!!! I AM IN AWE...and it has been absolutely fantastic to watch your various journeys since I found you guys, favoured you and others as my to to CZcamsRS people to follow... Please do not underselll yourself. I would love to employ you, if a reasonable cost, to advise me on how to upgrade my kind of "Pam the van" holiday travel life into something for the winter coldand summer heat .,.. am in france but will consider a UK vehicle! getting it done also... YOu guys are such a BRILLIANT TEAM! and your little dog dudes so sweet when I am anti dogs because of my childhood. .... Without what I just said YOU ARE ALWAYS welcome in my village!
I am waiting with bated breath and hope the van passes the Spanish demands!
awwwww, Thankyou so much for the kind words, we are really grateful for our followers who have continued to watch the videos through this van build as it’s been hard to try and make entertaining videos for sure.. Sending love and hope you have a lovely weekend ☺️xx
Hooray 🎉. Cheers. 🎉. Congrats 🎉.
The only part of the van build I am not keen on is the shower, apart from that you guys have done a good job.
Thanks, I think a lot of folk don’t get the shower room but hopefully you’ll get why we did it this way over time when you see us traveling and using the van 😊
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you and congratulations!🎉🎉🎉
I’m going to miss the build videos but….you did an amazing job and it all looks so nice. Onward to the travels.
For two self-proclaimed 'novices' you've done an outstanding job with the design and build. Now ready for another ‘awfully big adventure’ as Peter Pan would say
Love the new intro. The van is looking great!
Aw… Thanks so much for watching..😁
The two humans on their Fiido's, with their Fido's (Danish nickname for dogs) in their lightweight trailer!
PS: There are 3 (elderly) bike riders in my village, I often 2 of them with their dogs in a trailer, and the last one he has a "Christiania Bike" with a big box in front, for his Labrador, groceries, etc.
Just like it's normal to see parents with 1-2 kids in trailers, most kindergartens also use trailers with 4-6 kids in each, to go on bike rides. It's fine to bring your dog on a bike ride IF the dog enjoys it too!! And it's not too bumpy, etc.
But as it's not usual to see in many other countries, and if it isn't a place where drivers are used to seeing and respecting bikes - with or without a trailer - don't put kids or dogs in bike trailers if you don't feel it's very safe in traffic where you are.
❤❤❤❤ /Pia
Your van guys looks absolutely smashing! You've both worked very hard on it, maybe a bit more Sarah no only joking Nick😄 ❤❤ Paul & Lin.
😂😂.. Thanks guys xx
You two certainly make and earn your own luck with hard work, wish you super happy travels, though with your positive attitudes I’m sure you would find the best in just about anything!
Need the mug 'Coffee Time'
ha scrap that, just ordered a Navy mug, looking forward to drinking my coffee out of it
awwwww, Thankyou so much.. Appreciate the support and hope you like the mug ☺️☺️xx
Love it! Well done!
TFFT its done 😂 ....time to get back to adventures again . I want to be rewarded😂. Love the doggos step ❤
Congratulations on finishing the van guys …lovely,lovely,lovely ❤
…Blue mesh behind the cupboard holes would add a finishing touch too . Happy Travels xx
