- hello again!
It's time to tackle our sliding door for our mercedes sprinter to get ready to make our overhanging step! It needed a LOT of TLC and (like most hidden parts) needed rust proofing and re-painting. While SJ does this, Otis carries on cutting our new plywood floor which has needed lots of cutting in, extra notches. Seems simple enough, right? 😭
We are STILL waiting for our foil tape for our floor insulation 🫠 so a message to the eBay seller is needed to see what dimension that has gone to.
Hope you enjoy our latest vlog and we'll see you next Sunday 😁
Otis + SJ - Zábava
Love you guys & seeing the progress. Considering you've never done anything like this before, you're doing an amazing job ☺ Gonna keep following for the rest of the build as well as your upcoming adventures on the road 😀
Thank you so much - that means a lot to us!! We’re trying our level best 😅 thank you for the follow - lots more progress to come and adventures after that 🙌🏻
Gosh you guys are absolutely smashing it, not only is the vlog quality improving but the quality of your work is 💯- keep going you beauties!! X
Legend thank you for that, appreciated! We’re working hard on both fronts (van and vlog! 😝) hope you’re keeping well bud
@@onroutetonowhere smashing, I’m doing great thanks - hope you both are in high spirits and not high from that cleaning gunk 😂
I love that little corner trick! My van was on a farm before I had it and the thick clay mud underneath that step was incredible, I'm surprised the door still slid anywhere! Took me ages to clean! And I totally hear you, converting a van with no experience means spending a lot of time overwhelmed!!!
The wheel arch box corner trick?? Aye when I discovered that (Greg Virgoe haha) I was like - game changer!!
Oh gosh - I imagine it got proper dirty on a farm 😅 was it worse than ours haha?? It is huuugely overwhelming isn’t it! But hopefully hugely rewarding when we get there!!
@@onroutetonowhere good old Greg!
Love it guys. Great video. Can't believe how nasty it was under the side step. But feels good getting those bits looking like new hey, and nice to have that ply cut and ready to fix down 👍I'll be really interested to see your final set up. Great to see what other people come up with. I absolutely love the little trailer for next week! Looks exciting 😁😁.
Thanks mate 🙌🏻 yeah it was proper nasty under there but felt good to clean and start thinking about the step/over hang bit for kitchen / sofa - our first bit of actual woodwork making that is coming up 😬
Yeah excited to see your final set up too - I love how different everybody’s is and I think weve got a few unique things we’ll be doing 😬
Thanks re the trailer I also love those bits that SJ does (Otis here commenting) - they always get me psyched to rough edit the next one 😅
love watching your videos! keep up with the great work!!
Thank you so much! 🙌🏻 we’ll keep on keeping on!
Good night everyone I love watching your videos of you and your building up your new campervan I hope you are all well and enjoying your selfs building up your new campervan please keep up the good work up on your videos on your you tube channel please keep safe and warm co videos 😊
Thanks mate! 🙌🏻
Screwing nails , that's a skill !!!
😅😅 honestly the amount of times SJ has pulled me up on that is silly, I rarely say it right, everything is a nail in my eyes lol
Someone walked past outside at the window at 13 min mark.
Good spot! That’s uncle David also seen saying potatoes in the vlog 😝
@@onroutetonowhere thought maybe ever a friendly Ghost or a friendly trespasser 😂

Beyond painful😅 it's a chop saw/mitre saw and it's vinyl flooring. Bless you but cracking content
@@idstewart1964 😅😅 in fairness when we said table saw at the end we’re putting the chop saw a way to retrieve the table saw - but we definitely are noobs and get a lot wrong, including saying nails instead of screws and lino instead of vinyl lmao - thanks for the cracking content comment though!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Do you think it’ll be done before 2030?
We might just scrape it
