- We've spent the last 8 weeks converting this ex-Sainbury's supermarket delivery van in to a cozy home on wheels fit to take us to the Arctic this winter. Watch the full build, and some of the laughs along the way in less than 11 minutes.

You joke around a lot, but I want to say the craftsmanship and attention to detail in this build are second to none. I love it so much.
Thanks mate 👍
they really do fantastic work. all the builds so far have turned out excellent
Now done, please keep these videos coming, the banter between the two of you makes for great entertainment . hope you keep reminding her Jon ,she is a very lucky woman lol ,lol , lol
Oh yes she is 😂😂😂
Love this build..Jess, you can talk as much as you want as I love listening to the banter between the two of you. Keep the videos coming as they brighten up my day ❤❤

Watched the whole series today, great build. Clever design, great work from that German weightlifter.
Very enjoyable.
Cheers from Oz
😂😂😂😂 German weightlifter 😂😂 gold 👍
This is the best timelapse build I've seen. It's short and so frickin funny. Well done. 👏👏👏
Cheers mate 👍👍👍
Love the van 6 the videos! Somewhat of a late convert but I have something new to binge watch now!
Thanks mate 👍👍
Such an amazing build ! But more than that you are an amazing couple so, so inspirational and watching you two you can feel the love thank you for all the Saturday mornings 😜
Oh what a sweet thing to say thanks so much 💙💙
Said it before and I’ll say it again! Absolutely awesome build! You guys just work so well and it’s such a pleasure to watch your videos! …… xx
We are so grateful for you watching 😁💙
super cool van ,watching the build has been an eye opener,just goes to show you cant have too many tools ❤
😂😂 never have enough hey Graham 😂😂 💙💙
Love the quality of the video and the quality of the build. You two are a perfect couple and bounce off each other. Unfortunately I don't have the tools or the skill to do such a brilliant job, and also so quickly. Wish I could drop my van off to you for 11 minutes and get it kitted out. Cannot wait for your future travel videos.
😂😂😂 I wish it took 11 minutes too, I’d definitely do a few then, thanks very much 😁😁💙💙
i never missed a single minute of this build.enjoyed every second.thankyou guys❤
Thanks for coming along with us, we loved the build too 😁💙
watching your video is the best part of my day, I love your compatibility with each other and your relationship is perfect, stay happy.. keep posting, ✨🌼🌱 love 🤍
Ah thanks very much that’s so kind of you to say 💙
Fantastic build series full of amazing content and craftsmanship from both of you, great teamwork from a lovely fun couple and full of humour, happy travels for the future and best wishes. Looking forward to videos of you getting the best out of this camper, amazing job well done. 🇬🇧👍❤️🛠️
Cheers Ian, the van is doing us proud so far 👍🏴
The second to last build video came up on my reccomended, I then went and watched all the others to "catch up" before the next one came out. 😁 The van looks amazing and attention to detail is inspiring. I'm also in awe of that tool shed! Makes such a difference having the right tools for the job, I learned that the hard way as a kid watching my Dad do DIY with lots of improvised tools! 😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks, yeah that one of the reasons I have quite a few tools, as soon as I need one for a job I buy it as it makes the job so much easier 👍👍
We need that Sainsbury's sticker back on the van cause it would look amazing like half of it too fool people 😉 love that you both joke with each over and play around as well 😁😁 fantastic craftsmanship you put into that amazing van of yours 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Cheers mate, yeah would look well cool hey 👍
Just got home and what a great surprise - a Wednesday video from my favourite adventurers 😊. Love your conversion/build of this van and looking forward to seeing the video where the bungee proves to be a useful addition to the build! 😉 😂. See you Saturday 😊
Thanks sue, the bungee is a doing us proud so far 😉😂😂😁
If only it took 10 mins to build a van! 😂 Loved watching this build and love both your humour! Keep up the fun videos!
😂😂 wouldn’t that be a dream!! Thats so kind thank you 💙
Quality Guys - Had me laughing all the way through 🤣
John yr a spoilt boy with all them toys and that workshop 😜but Jess is the real star of the show (can't believe you let her loose with a drill tho mate😉)
Keep em coming.. Rapidly turning into my Fav CZcams couple at the moment 🚐💨❤
Ohh I'm sure I must have missed it but ventilation for the fridge ? (not that you will need it for Scotland or the Arctic) but in warmer climate 🌞🥵
@@snoman1999the van has 3 big opening windows with fly screen, a massive opening roof light with fly screens and an exhaust fan in the bathroom. We do actually have one of the vent slots in the roof vent all the time just to let fresh air in even when it’s fully closed.
That’s so nice of you to say thank you and so lovely to think it makes you laugh 💙💙
Cool Beans.. just when I had ours in a cabinet like yrs, the compressor always seemed to be running when the weather was hot.. Once Id re-located it under the bed where it has plenty of ventilation, the compressor runs until it reaches its temp and then switches off saving battery life.. 🤙🏽@@truebluetravellers
Every time I see a Sainsbury delivery van I now think of you guys!
🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🤍🤎
😂😂😂😂😂😁💙
Me too. I also keep talking about it to grocery delivery drivers…
You have both produced a gorgeous camper van. So very talented 😊
Thanks Ivan 👍
Been loving all your videos and builds, especially the Aus series. Jess- your comment during this build of “8 billion people on the planet and I chose this idiot” cracked me up. Looking forward to seeing this van in the Artic!
😂😂😂 harsh but fair hey 🤦♀️😂😂
Just found you guys and hats off to you - your build looks fantastic, not over the top but your attention to detail and the level of your craftsmanship is top notch. Added to which you both seem remarkably normal and likeable (I’m sure you’re both monsters really! 😉). The perfect start to my Saturday and I can’t wait to catch up on your travels in the van.
Thanks ever so much that’s really kind of you to say although not sure anyone’s ever called us normal before 😂😂😂
Keep the vlogs coming we look forward to them , when you have been there about 3 weeks you will be completely chilled and used to the French getting up early morning and they tend to go to bed early in the winter months, your body clock will adjust . Steve and Wendy 🇨🇵
Thanks guys, I love how the French are a bit laid back, also love that they don’t open the shops on Sunday and make it family time 💙
Even though I watched every part of this build I still enjoyed this video. Love you guys keep up the good work, looking forward to future videos.
thanks very much for the support 😁💙
Love the banter, love your sense of humor. You two are just amazing and should offer conversation builds as a business for those who don't have the knowledge or time to do this. Your work is top notch. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks very much mate 👍
@@truebluetravellers I've done some camper renovations myself by watching CZcams vids for tips and know how. I wish I'd watched your videos first back then as would've saved myself a lot of time and money. I tip my hat to you both.
You two crack me right up....... There is an adventure coming up. Cheers guys
😂😂😂 thanks, it’s been great so far 🏴
The best van build on the internet. Top quality, great entertainment, loving the content. My wife and I have now exhausted the entire back catalogue of your channel, so we cant wait for more videos from you guys. Anyway, tool talk Tuesday needs its own dedicated video. Keep up the amazing videos Jess & Jon, you guys are brilliant.
Thanks very much, lovely of you to say and thanks for following along with us 😁😁
I only started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago whilst in recovery at home.
Started with the 1st vlog on your rebuild of the “Sainsbury Van”.
Cheered me up no end…….so cheerful & spontaneous.
Engineering skills and the quality of work you both produced was awe inspiring!
Cannot wait for you to hit the road.
❤❤❤
Thanks Graeme, I hope your on the mend and thanks for following along with us 💙💙
Hopefully you are both now enjoying the results of all your hard work, skill, craft and graft.
Jon the bungee boss and Jess the best Aussie it’s time to relax 😊
Thanks very much 😁 so far it’s been brilliant 🏴
It's been great fun coming along with this build ride with you's, it a cracking camper🤙
Thanks Paul 👍
You’re a great couple together and from all your videos and all the jokes together ❤ this van is truly inspiring build ❤❤
Thanks very much 😁💙
Bonkers Build and so are you two, don’t change. Best wishes for a wonderful trip. ❤
😂😂 Thanks Colin 😁💙
Great Build Guys! And love the fun and humorous larking around. 👏👍
Thanks roger 👍
Every time I see a Sainsbury's van now I think of you guys 😂
😂😂 I wave to them every time 😂😂
Love your content, keep smashing guys love the vibe 🫡
What a lovely thing to say thank you 💙💙
I think it is beautiful.
Cheers mate 👍
Hey Jon, I love the Crocs and socks 👌👌👌👌😂😂 keeping the trend going with the Shadow Foam boys
😂😂😂 I saw that too 😂😂😂
Simply stunning! You should both be VERY proud 😊 Enjoy your trip 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much 😁
Hope you both have amazing adventures in the Landy and the Sprinter. Been good fun watching you both work on the two projects. Looking forward to your adventures away in them, they are going to be Epic!
Cheers mate, Scotland has been a beauty so far 👌
@@truebluetravellers I am envious. I love Scotland. Used to Live their as a Kid up near Inverness. Hopefully there is a video to follow. I would ask where you have been, but that would ruin the surprise, I will just have to wait in hope of a first trip video.
What an absolute inspiration you both are , very inspiring loved the build ❤
Thanks very much 😊👍
Have loved every minute of watching this series 😊Obviously the end result is fantastic and you should both be proud of that but I think what I have enjoyed most is showcasing that the journey (as cheesy as that sounds) is as important as the end result... I also think for the first time I have found people as finickity with detail as me and Megs (thats a good thing by the way) ... keep it up! John with all those tools you need a jetski already for your adventures!
😂😂 thanks guys, yeah we totally agree the whole journey of building it will live with us forever 💙
Wow, the multi-skilled capabilities in this build are second to none. 👏👏
Thanks very much 👍
Ohhhh you’re early!!!! Can’t wait to see your adventures- have a beer or two for me!! 😊
We didn’t want to put this out as a Saturday video 😁 it’s just a little extra. Our first Scotland video will be out Saturday 🤞a beer sounds perfect about now!!
Some good tips for general DIY, not just van build stuff. I'm sure you'll enjoy your adventures
Thanks 😁
I love the two of you and the Van is perfect! Stay safe and happy travels 😊😊
Thanks very much 💙💙😁
Fantastic job guys well done.
Thanks dianne 😁
If the van building life doesn't work out, you guys would walk right into a TV show production job 😅 this is a masterpiece haha
😂😂😂 thanks Liam
You guys make a great team. Skills and funny, nice one. Looking forward to following you travels in your new builds. Have great adventures guys❤️❤️
Thanks Stephen 💙
LOL #BungeeFetish
I hope you both have a fantastic (and warm in the Migaloo at least) time.
Bungeeeeeee!!
Stay safe travellers
😂😂😂 thanks mark 👍👍
Sterling job!! been a great watch, enjoy your adventures!!
Cheers mate 💪👍
Very talented couple to say the least . I might be following in your footsteps steps to try this build 😊
Thanks Andrew 😁👍
Great conversion and presentation from you both.
Thanks 😁
Hi Guys. Been watching this build from day one and I'm soooooooo impressed with the outfit. Awesome 👌 Paul and Sarah
Thanks very much guys 😁👍
5:57 had me bursting out in laughter 😂😂
😂😂😂😂👍
ABSOLUTLY AMAZING!!!!!! seen as how you are not "allowed" a plasma.... I think a nice Bungee Wall picture/memo board would look FANTASTIC on the loo wall above the seat
😂😂😂 I think you might be right there 👍
Just amazing. What a fab build and you certainly make it fun. Nice one! Can't wait to see the next one
Thanks very much 👍👍
Obviously I meant can't wait (not can wait!)
😂😂😂 I thought that’s what u meant, thanks mate
You two are amazingly bonkers 👍👍
😂😂😂thanks 😁
Ubewdy 👍 must have been fun compiling this-glad you included the suspension test🤣
Watch out for the wee drams in Scotland Jess😎
😂😂😂 I’ve never tried whisky so no better place I recon 😁😁
Cool video, more tools less van, and more bungies!!!
😂😂😂👍👍👍 you know it 👍
Wow look at that bungee ! What an amazing job you done on that bungee
The van looks good as well !😂😂😂
Well done guys loved watching your videos on the build very inspiring
Thanks very much, the bungee does look good hey 😂😂
@@truebluetravellers gotta love a bungee
🎉🎉🎉 No waffle about tools 🎉🎉🎉
Jess definitely get his lordship a No1 haircut might actually make him look human.
Seriously though guys keep an eye on the weather if your planning to go up to Scotland -5c forecast before December make sure your diesel tank is insulated, have you considered putting a privacy film over the living area windows on a security note I would recommend getting a tracker fitted after all your effort JESS
😂😂 I’m glad someone has seen who does all the hard work 💪💪, yeah the weather is getting rather cold up here 🥶 but it’s good for us to get used to it for the real cold I suppose 🥶 what are we doing 🤦♀️😂
What an achievement in 8 weeks.
Cheers mate 👍
I honestly think you need an extra Battery for backup at the very least. I also believe the vans floor gets extremely cold! I wish I could remember the channel an American stealth camper builder fitted his van out with heated floor pads that just took the edge off a freezing floor rather than a source for heating the van. I just realised he had them under the leisure battery! He also had a recycling water filter system fitted to the shower. The 2 gallons of water goes through filters, I believe 7 times before it ends up in the grey tank. Remember heat rises if you can blow the heated air down you should get a more even spread of heated air in the cabin. May if you exit and enter the van through the cab you shouldn’t loose as much cabin heated air? It’s just a thought. Good luck with your trip.
Cheers Gordon, so the plan is to test the battery setup in Scotland, we had a whole day off yesterday in the van and the battery system held up well but we will keep testing to see how it goes, heat pads are a brilliant idea but they need a huge battery setup to run, the recirculating shower idea I love and I think it’s something I’m going to do in a future build as water is probably the hardest thing to source on the road 👍
@@truebluetravellers Ref Heat pads this particular setup just used enough power to take the edge off the freezing floor? If I find the link I would send it to you.
The 60-degree wedge of the table closest to the bed looks like something which I’d def hurt myself on constantly.
😂😂 funnily enough we have had this comment quite a bit 😁
Thankyou for allowing us to be part of the journey, you are both awesome x❤
Thanks for coming along with us 😁💙
They're here ❤❤
😁😁💙💙
Well after being fooled with a mobile home .
Going to give it my last try and try this build it’s just amazing yet you both work so well together.
You both are talented 👌
Cheers mate 👍 good luck with it 👍
Rrrrrr man this is my Saturday morning vlog with a coffee what’s up you 2 hope you have had a great week you need to start daily vlogging 😂 another great vid you 2 are smashing it ❤
😂😂 cheers Neil, had a good start on the Scotland trip so all is well 😁💙
great build guys, amazing work!! It came out perfect and what a big space you´ve got in such a small footprint
Cheers mate, that’s what we love about it too, small but big 😁👍
Great build! I was in Norway recently on a motorbike tour. If you're arriving in Kristiansand on a ferry don't just scoot straight out. It's a nice place and worth a mooch. Roads are great and we saw plenty of people enjoying wild camping all along the roadside. Enjoy your trip!!
Brilliant little tip thanks very much 😁👍
you should setup a business building camper vans to order, the quality is excellent and the turnaround pretty quick. You can use that to help fund your trips bu not only selling at a profit but also you tube the builds.
Sounds like a plan that 👌
Saturday morning viewing will never be the same and what a Bungee!!!. Sorry jess
😂😂 I’m outnumbered with all the bungee fans 🤦♀️😂
sitting in traffic on Monday afternoon on A9,thought I spotted your van at the dunkeld hermitage..
Yep that was us. Went for a lovely walk there 😁
OMG Just stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago.
Amazing build... now if I had a qtr of the tools and the 1/2 the knowhow, I'd be off to 1/8th of a start!
Nice one guys.
😂😂😂😂 cheers Paul
What a fun 8 week van build . ( and I’m not even a van life person . Go 110 Land Rover defender over lander fan 😁. ) great video again you two . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🛠💪🏻🍻👍🏼😁🚚
Cheers Steve, it will be a nice change to get in the Landy and head for a warmer climate after the arctic in the sprinter, but looking forward to both all the same, thanks for coming along with us 😁
@@truebluetravellers .. looking forward to seeing both your trips . Cheers
I am GUTTED there was no TTT 🤣🤣 guess I’ll have to wait for the full workshop tour 💪🏻💪🏻 also the 20s Vs 20 minutes comment made me spit my coffee out haha.
😂😂 she’s telling lies honest 👀
Ha ha ha another awesome video. The design and quality of the build is truly brilliant. YAK YAK YAK ha ha ha wouldn’t want it any other way😂. Cheers💪🏻
😂😂😂 cheers mate 👍
This was an epic build loved it the quality you guys put in to everything you built was beyond amazing, so,wish you had a company making these and selling them I’d rather pay you than some overweight motorhomes out there
Cheers mate, yeah if someone had the space they could buy the boxes of these and do a good business from them 👍
Perfect upload again,humours on point. Jon mate, if Jess didn’t love you ,you’de be dead fella Lol. Love the banter “yack yack yack” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks 👍👍
As you guys clearly have great craftman/lady skills and a great passion/experience in this van conversion game....Will we be seeing Jess and John taking on conversion build commissions when you are not travelling? I for one hope so!
Thanks for the compliment, to be honest we only really want to build for ourselves tho as we really enjoy doing the builds and if we did it as a job it might loose its spark 👍😁
@@truebluetravellers Maybe test the water with one commission if approached. Personally I don't think you would loose any spark from it because I feel you would have a great relationship with the customer and your own van life experiences would get you excited about the build. Just my opinion of course. Anyways, keep up the great work in making great content that's worth watching.
Love thoose sainsburys van's lol Only company that have autos lol Great Job
Thanks very much she’s done us proud 💙
Brilliant, but where’s my Sainsbury’s order. Disgraceful service I want my money back. Very well done, I’ll forsake the baked beans for your new adventures. Keep smiling.
😂😂😂 your delivery is on a bit of a detour…… round Scotland 🏴😂👍
Bloody brilliant !!
😊💕👍🏽🇦🇺
Thanks 😁👍👌💙
Me encanta!🎉 Me río mucho con ustedes jajaja
Muchas Gracias me amgio 💙
Totally awesome , made me laugh and now going to do the same
Thanks 👍👍
Amazzzing so talented you two! What’s next? Have great week 🎉
Thanks Sandy, we are up in Scotland in the van at the minute, first video will be out on Saturday 😁
I have just watched your video it’s beautiful, I love Scotland we have 8 days booked in June just love it, the food is great the scenery fantastic I know you will have great time. X
Really is a fantastic job.......
Cheers mate 👍
And she’s still yakking 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 always
Beautiful ❤
Thanks 😁
What a build, what a journey, what a laugh! Brilliant, brilliant, bungee, 〰️ brilliant. Oops sorry Jess 💪 a bungee 〰️ slipped in there - but you must admit it does look great. Fun, fun, fun guys. Dave Birmingham
Dave I will forgive your bungee references on account of the rest of your comment be lovely 😂💙 thanks mate
Awesome build. Awesome build videos!!! Thank you.
Uhm. Did I miss how you've secured the loo in the shower room?
Thanks mate, so the duck board at the front stops it moving back and forth and there is an air extraction pipe which stops it moving sideways, it doesn’t move at all to be honest and we didn’t want to fix it down as then it can always be easily removed to clean etc, our last van build was the same and we never had an issue 👍👍
Yes yes never mind all that, when will my Sainsburys order be delivered? been waiting 8 weeks now for my Asparagus and Fish Fingers!
😂😂😂 it’s on the way, via Scotland 😂😂
An awesome build what are you going to call it?? Cool running?
😂😂😂😂 love it
Watched it every week a bit disappointed there was no bungees, until you made everything good with the build by adding a couple.
😂😂😂 thanks, I think it still needs more tho 👌
I’m in love with the project and final result, the attention to detail that you guys put in it! Such an inspiring camper! Also I’d like to ask if you guys recommend the shower pan you used and what’s the supplier, it looks low profile and very professional ❤️
Thanks very much, the shower trays are very good but also very expensive, I’ll drop a link below

This is frikking epic van well done you two
Cheers mate 👍
Fantastic builds you’ve both completed really loved watching. Can you tell me what windows you chose and could you let me know more about the walk through and the frame you made also the accordion seal please ? Love you guys
Thanks so much Jim. We did a video that shows building the crawl through. I’ll link it for you. The windows are just from eBay and will link those too 💙
