If you are building another I have a few tips. 1. Get a post 07 Van it has no troublesome timing belt. 2. Maximise the space. Height:- a) maximise the height by cutting the 6 lugs off the roof supports and use 6mm ply wall carpeted. b) 11mm floor timber carpeted (cheap, warm and replaceable). You can the sit upright. Width:- Walls, the top half, don't insulate or board, just wall carpet. Length Fit a swivel base to the passenger seat, it makes the van so much bigger. 3. Go for a R&R bed, cheap, strong and so versatile. 4. Unless you are Vlogging, forget the extra battery and everything else. Wire you cold box through the ignition and the rest, like LED lights, USBs and water pump, use nothing. When you need a new battery, get the larger one, about £10 more. We have had our 08 Vivaro since 2015 and all is well. Material costs were £1k, including SMEV unit. Good first attempt though. Bonne chance.
Well guys, the CZcams algorithm has kept you at bay for ages. Love the conversion, you have done well there. Hope all well since you sold the boat, I’ll have to go back to catch up a bit. Cheers. Andy UK
Hey there! we havent seen you two for ages. So good to see you both again. Was just saying to the mrs the other day that you havent put a vlog out tor ages. Nice to know ur both still fit and healthy x. happy travels.
Please keep making videos - we miss you guys!! Glad you're keeping well though & looking forward to your new adventures.
So happy to see you back well thought out well executed hope you'll let us tag along on at least some of your Expeditions
Great to see you again .missed you.
I look forward to the electrical vid. You gained a subscriber 😊
Good to see you again! I almost became worried
Super nice how it's turned out Justifiably Dead Chuffed with it I'm Sure. Best Wishes and Safe Travels. Bob still Landlocked in Wales. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Van looks awesome! Well done
What's the plan for next year? Ya'll travelling around in it?
Your battery is a bit pricey, but my three cheaper leisure batteries are only a year old and their starting to fail already. Ones completely dead and the others struggle to charge, even on sunny days.
You get what you pay for I guess lol 💙💜
Hey, thank you!
We haven't got a set plan yet, but we're definitely going to be doing some travelling about for sure.
On the battery front, ours is definitely on the big side 😅. I think for most people, their fogstar 105ah would be perfect or the 230ah, which are priced more competitively. In fact, in my electric video, I'll be doing some battery value comparison, which I think a lot of people would be interested in 😁.
Thanks as always for checking out the video 🤙

Arrrh, looking forward to it
Great to see you back…. Hope to see a few videos of your adventures soon!
A Beautiful rolling home ☀️🚐☀️🌎
Kindest wishes to you both 😊😊 and all 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Impecável. Está muito bom para uma primeira vez. Continuem com mais videos please!
Great to see you guys again.
Great to see you two again!
Hi guys. Love the video. It's almoast the exact same layout that we went for in our Vivaro. You've inspired me to make a condensed video of the conversion as ours was a 6 part series😁 think it's a bit much for some people ;)
I'm guessing you've already fixed it, but just going to mention it anyway to be safe, the loose screw in the bus bar box at 11:35
Well spotted and yes haha. This clip was after I'd just had the covers off checking bits 😊. Thank you for commenting 😁
This is brilliant thank you! Looking to get a Vivaro for my first van!
Oops made a mistake when talking about our Renogy inverter charger. I say in the video its 300watt when it is infact 3000watt 👍
Fantastic video guys! The van looks brilliant 🤩
Well done guys! Looks amazing! X
Looks good. Good handy work.. oh yes 300 or 3000 w inverter? Don't those induction stoves use 1500-2000 w?
Sorry, 3000w inverter 😅. Yes, our induction uses 1800w max. But only about 700w most of the time as we use one hob mostly 😁
Great video! Someone's gotta ask....ahem where is the loo?
Hey, thank you 😁. And very good question 😅. We actually have a bivvy loo. It's a folding portable toilet that fishermen use. It's more of a backup as we do try to use public services where possible 😊.
Hi, did you leave insulating your side door? I have been trying to find out how people get the insulation behind the plastic as its attached to the handle
Great vid good to see you guys still having adventures any sailing plans ?? Or did the med put you off often thought about mixing boat life and can life together in Europe ??
Yeah we're definitely considering mixing van and boat life! We have some life things to get in place before we can afford to do boat life again, but we'll be getting a boat again when we can for sure 😀
Literally only tuned in for the electrical install and you bungled it .....
Very weird how such a cheap shite van would be over priced with a fog star. Suspicious
