Brilliant video-that’s just what I need for my van!
Thank you for the positive feedback 👍
If I were you Mell I’d be covering that windscreen with a safety film or whatever you’ve got until your ready to drive away, just in case! Fit a light bar along the front unistrut to keep a low profile and less to get hit sticking up by tree branches
But you’re not me
If you want the paint to stay on aluminium, you should use an etching primer first. You should also key the surface by rubbing down with 400 w & d.
Excellent choice for the camera. Looking forward to the fridge conversion.
Coming soon!
Get your screen and window tinted . Helps here in India to tint windows
I might've been tempted to fit the rear view facing cameras to the front door rear view mirror brackets they look very sturdy and an ideal mounting point to face rearwards.
You may not be aware that you can buy stuffing glands with multiple holes, so if you have 2 or more cables you can put them in each hole and when you tighten the stuffing gland it closes up on each cable providing a much better seal.
Wow I’ll have a look for them thanks 🙏
"Stroke my Teddy bear" 😂😂😂😂😂
She couldn't really ask to have her pussy stroked😉...
my thoughts exactly lol lucky Mwl gets to stroke Bec's teddy bear
lol 😂
Camera system is similar to the one on my lorry...if you look at the camera there should be a white dot...this needs to be at the top for correct image...hope this helps Mel...cheers
Thank you 🙏
Bloody outstanding job
Thank you 🙏
goods build nice van tkeep up the good vlogs and travels on channel
Thanks 👍
Yet another great job Mel, i order a few bits of ally express but they never turned up ( lucky it was via PayPal ). Love the the camera system i didn't use a Bluetooth one as i was worried about the length of the van and it not reaching so when old school and ran wires from one end to the other. Also fitted 4 spot lights on the roof rack and what a different they make on dark roads or campsites. Almost turn it from night to day. as well as looking so cool. Would love to bump into you and Becky one day as you both seem so full of energy and joy. Keep up the good work
Great vid Mel can’t wait for the fridge one I have a 240v fridge in my van we take it when we go a campsite and just have it plugged in The awning
Nice one👍
Great vlog Mel 👍 👌
It is looking good 👍
Be safe
Thank you! You too!
school boy error lol you clean the alley with panel wipe to get rid of grease etc etc but as you wipe it you then handle it with your bare hands leaving the grease from your skin back on the alley lol , great vids keep up the good work Mel
My skin is so dry I don’t think it’s a problem lol 👍🤓👍
Wow what a nice system. I've got a tiny camper so I might go for the Apple CarPlay system with the rear wireless cam and dash cam! It's also only $460 instead of almost $800 😄 ... I'm looking forward to your fridge conversion also, even though it is too late since I paid almost $400 for a 12 volt drawer fridge that will only hold 6 cans of beer! 🍺
Thanks 🙏
Great video and mildly entertaining Mel😂, looking forward to your fridge conversion, we have the same but with freezer currently powered by our ecoflow 67w for 20mins per hour.. Stay safe both ☯️
Thank you same to you too 👍
Great stuff Mel
Regarding aliexpress i have brought several bits ...one in particular mirrors for my motorcycle original one's cost around 100 euros got mine for 8.50 euro and just as good only thing is there cool but only can see my fingers...great view when leaning 😂.
Check your insurance, believe it or not my insurance company wanted to increase my premium for installing a tracker and 360 degree cctv. Said would have to pay more if van got stolen.. no sense 😮
Great fun Mel, cheers👋🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇧
It looks awesome, can’t you repurpose the lights for repeater indicators on the side or even top?
Good afternoon becky and Mel I love watching your videos of you and your building your new campervan I hope you have a great day today and I hope you are all well and enjoying your build on your new campervan please keep up the good work up on your videos on your you tube channel on the 28th of April will be my birthday please say happy birthday to me
I’m so so sorry only just seen this message hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎂
Great video again . Love watching them. Would you not be worried with flies etc sticking to the camera lens. You would have to get up there and clean it regularly. Just a thought
I guess a little extension pole with a sponge would come in handy but yes, the front facing camera behind the front windscreen would definitely give better protection Del.
I’m sorry to say I don’t really care for the 🪰
Your go pro is actually in 4k very good quality 👌 👏 👍 🙌
Yeah ☺️
The arpet is super looking.
Thank you
Excellent Mell, can't wait for the fridge video, Greg Virgo will have his head in his hands
Haha 😝
It will be interesting to see what the Lag is like on the cams!
Hardly noticeable
Great camera system Mel, and I can't wait for the video on converting the fridge, all the best to you and Becky
Thank you sorry I missed your message the fridge experiment didn’t quite go to plan video will be up this weekend 👍🤓👍
Mel instead of making the merc look like a sieve i would use the hole/ grommet for the solar panel.....ref kinross about windscreen we are just trying to give help dont be narky
Great video. And great product as well. But it seems like you didn't manage to change the orientation of how the images are displayed on the monitor from the side cameras. So, considering this flaw, I would rate this product 7 out of 10 instead of 9 out 10.
Looking forward to the fridge video. 😊
Coming soon!
Hi Mel, I can't wait for your AC/DC video. It should be cool.
Brilliant stuff Mel , that camera system is great
Thank you yes it’s just amazing
Thanks
Ooh my goodness me thank you that's incredibly kind of you i dont know what i did to deserve that but thank you anyway 👍🤓👍
I am learning so much from these vlogs. If you are planning on watching camera when in bed etc, does that mean that they stay on and transmitting when vehicle is all switched off? How do you isolate them when van is laid up?
Hi im glad you enjoy my content thank you. I’m planning on leaving cameras on permanently will act like CCTV 👍
Hey mell i have a fantastic idea buddy
When painting aluminium you should use etch primer. That paint wont Last long. Nice camera system you have.
Thanks for the tip
Love this
Thank you ☺️
Nice one Mel
Thanks 😁👍
Hi keep the hard work up😅
I clean aluminium and anything galvanised with white vinegar, it contains 10% acid so it also etches the surface ready for paint, I’ve never had a problem with paint peeling off. 👍
That’s a great idea thank you 🙏
😮 your Vario is bigger than most Tokyo apartments...
Man I wish I had that on my van. I just send the better half outside to look 😋
Haha
Mel... etching primer for Ally!!!!!! save it peeling of down the road. but lovin the build still...
Thanks 👍
Got your window frames on upside down mel 😅
Great camera set up. 😊 I didn’t have the pleasure of an angle grinder I had to use a hack saw to cut my unistrut. Becks done a lovely job on your auto carpet. New home is looking lovely. Your super lucky 😊
I didn’t know I could use a flange like that on the roof instead of those big ones? The fridge looks like mine. Mines 12v but can be used as 240v too :) but mine was £600. Good price for yours 😊
Thank you buddy have a great weekend 👍🤓👍
Well Mel , ive heard it called different type of Furry Animals, but never a Teddy Bear😅😊😂.
You got a Keeper there in Becky 🤭😋😂😍🤪😆😇👌👍, any time of the Day/Night 😮😅
😝👍
The side camera IR might reflect off the curve of the roof, night pic will bleach out. trial n error position before fixing to check the IR spread pattern. YW
Another informative well put together video.
Whst an excellent piece of kit. Install looks very straight forward.
Did you have to order from the USA.
The fridge video sounds very intriguing.
Can only find the Haloview from the U S
Nice system Mel , i have just fitted a similar system called Yarky . Mine was half the price but probably half the quality.😂😂😂. We will see but its 1080 its really great screen quality. Keep up the great work cheers Mel
Thanks 👍
Hey Mel really interesting video. On a side issue are you pleased with the windows? We've got them and they flop about when you have them open just a bit
As the looks of it the side cameras seem to be tilted, are'nt they?
Did you watch Adz drive across the frozen sea last week.😮
Was u able to rotate the camera on the side ? In the software or feature? Or will u have to rotate the viewing screen each time ? Sure there probably features with in the manual somewhere ?
Do a Mic Jager on the blinds.
I’m not sure if I understand what you mean 🤷♂️
I think he means Rolling Stones. Paint it black!
You was worried about your van good job there was no damage to
Your mates rear doors. Use a thick blanket it will stop the bounce. Luck boy!😂
Thank you ☺️
A light scotchbrite to that aluminium panel then etch primer then scotch then three coats of black would be the way to go
You’re overthinking it
I used a wolf box rear view mirror mount which is also a dash cam, rear is 1080p and front is 2.5k they also do a 4k front as well. The picture is crystal clear and it is also Wi-Fi so easy to download pictures, as I had no view out the back and the insurance stated a rear camera or parking sensors, this ticked off 2 on my list 1.rear view, 2. Dashcam front and back and the picture is 12” wide. A neat feature is you can scroll the image on the touch screen to view lower down or up. You can also activate a 12 or 24 hour parking mode
Sounds great but doses it not have side cameras 📸
Fridge conversion to DC still uses the same Power. Lower volts but way higher current! So power = Power / Current x Volts. Then your incurring AC-DC losses as well, which results in heat (power) loss.
Not when you change the compressor which I’m sure Mel is planning to do. Have a look at belluna fridges from Germany. They convert domestic fridges to run super efficiently on 12 or 24 volt. They change the compressor and the refrigerant. I’ve an 85 liter with freezer which only pulls about 60watts when running and it only needs to come on a few times an hour. Much cheaper than ‘camper branded’ offerings as well.
If it costs me almost a grand less how the fk cares
The Golden Rule when painting ally is to use etch primer, it won’t last long otherwise.
That was my thought, surely thats going to come off within a few months?
Thanks 🙏
Death warrant signed "at least we have 2 can's of glue"....
Putting fingerprints over the freshly cleaned ally is driving me nuts.🤪Hope that's etch primer?
Will that metal plate not vibrate against the roof of your van.
You can take 12v feed off 1 off the van batteries its only 24v when you use them both. Battery 1 has the negative to earth and the positive to battery 2 negative,the positive from battery 2 is 24v.the positive on battery 1 is 12v.
Have you ever heard the term teaching someone how to suck eegs?
Have you ever heard the term teaching someone how to suck eegs?
Hi Mel, is the vario 24v system neg earth return, or is it isolated chassis as in trucks? Btw a big advantage with 24v is charging power packs much quicker than 12v,(up to 5x). Also cable sizes can be halved for the same load and less losses. I have 24v inverter/Lifepo4 cells in my transit for this reason. 👍 👍
Yes 👍 absolutely
A bit 'Passive-Aggressive' with Becky there at the beginning ..... You'd better sleep with One-EYE-Open from now on Mel 👁
I have Auto vox they are terific.Solar 4.
Does the unit have the ability to connect an external screen such as HDMI or AV?
I don’t know 🤷♂️
Yes, Mell, you know KEEP it SAFE KEEP it simple what happend to the good old saying it's not the first time you getting laced in your OLD age come on Mell you need to do better getting in to BAD habits Mell just think as you did in the good old days😢😢😢😅😅
Is it a compressor fridge
Yes it is
Brigade does 12v
Does the Van actually clear the roof truss with all that gubins and cameras ontop?
Just about
That halo system is brilliant but out of my price range,I bought a wireless system for mine for 120 off Amazon but is totally crap in all honesty
Oh dear
Needing to start carpeting my van.Are you getting the carpet locally or off internet? I’m local to you in Gloucester 👍
Hi here you go ebay.us/kjRjRm
Many thanks. Loving the videos as always. Especially the new ones currently converting your new van
When you said "spy on my guests", I thought Mels' surname is either Epstein or Diddy 😂😂😂😂😂
Is the young lady your partner or daughter or wife or just a friend
She’s my carer 🤣😂👍
how to change bulb ..... lol
You guys really should be wearing masks for spray glue and spray paint, there is no way enough air flow in that workshop to not warrant wearing them. That stuff is like cancer in a can. Personal choice though I guess.
Thank you for your concern that’s really kind of you 👍
Is there any latency between the camera and display. Just check before you reply on it when reversing.
Hardly any at all
