Thank you! 🙏🏼
Bravissimi💪👏👏👏👏
Grazie mille ☺️
Loved watching it, it's when you see that you realise it's a lot of work and knowledge
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! It is a lot of work but very worth it in the end 😊
@@LockieandAsh looking at getting a lwb hightop crafter , we shall see , might just pay someone
@@fozzy1717 oh crafters are beautiful vans. Yeh it can be a lot of work, but it’s definitely possible. There is some good channels on CZcams sharing a lot of knowledge
We just watched you time-lapse of your van build, it looks amazing! Well done you two😊
Thank you so much 🥰
if one day i make my own van i would like to make it like that ! thanks for sharing us !
Thank you! We love our layout it's very practical for living in a van!
Congrats on the video guys! You deserve it to go Viral with all that work. We are currently in the US for winter and looking at coming back to Europe and possibly motorhoming this time. Would you mind sharing your average weekly costs while motorhome travelling? We estimated about $1400 AUD all in with a mix of free and paid campsites. Are we far off the mark?
Thanks so much guys, we appreciate it ☺️ it really depends where in Europe you are and exactly what you are doing and also how much driving you are actually doing each month. I would say 1400 AUD would be fine as long as you aren’t planning to eat out a lot or pay for too many tourist attractions as these things add up. I would prob say plan to spend more so that you don’t go over budget and anything you save is a bonus!
@@LockieandAsh Cheers! We are pretty frugal :P Good to know our estimates weren't far off.
Great video. Quick question - when you fitted the solar panels what's the difference between the white and black mastic?
The black one is a ‘sikaflex’ brand made for campers. The white one came with the solar panels from renogy. Not sure on the difference, I just thought the sikaflex would be better quality so I used that on the outter sides and used the renogy one in the middle.. no problems yet they both seem to be very good!
Can I ask what you guys do for a living that you can so competently do this conversion? I will be doing this as well at some point.
Lockie is an electrician by trade but everything else is self taught. The best way to learn is by researching and just giving it a go! Practice makes perfect 👌 good luck ☺️
Sorry I'm late to your amazing party but can you give an average time of this type of conversion?
This conversion took us just over 9 weeks to complete. We worked full time on it
Great van build!! It turned out beautiful. Question, how come you’re not choosing to register it in Andorra again?
Thank you 🙏 Andorra is not in the EU so this time we are hoping to get the van long term registered inside the EU. Andorra has also changed a lot of its conditions since we last registered a car there so for us this time round this seems like a better option ☺️
@@LockieandAsh thank you for your response! So you can’t do long-term in Andorra? I’m a US/EU citizen and was deciding between Ireland and Andorra for my van’s registration
How you gonna shower?
