  • Just stumbled on your account - fab video. Good tips that I hadn't heard before. Gave you a subscribe as it's criminal that you've not got 1000k subs yet 😊 coming from another start up YouTuber

    Great video! I've had two different vans and am looking at my third. Great review/tips!
  • @JamieHarding5
    That was great. Loads of good tips in there. Really enjoyed it and I stayed with you all the way. In future I hope to get a van. Really good advice. Cheers mate.👍
  • @roamer1588
    How about rain guards on your front windows..then you can crack one or both windows an inch or two for ventilation...and the vehicle is still safe at night.👍
  • @splitparadox
    Sweet dog, like you I regret not going up one size in van.
  • @RiDankulous
    The ford transit seems nice and is available in the USA. I will consider the NV 400 from Toyota, but all models may be quite old when I retire in 10-20 years. There will be new, exciting models, though!

    Hi have you heard of the Wallas hob that converts into a heater? I saw it in a Scottish firm's conversion videos. Do look into them! (The hob lifts/opens slightly and you switch it into heater mode. Ingenious I think). G Ire
  • Tip #5! You can't have a beer when you are parked at night in your camping area? That is horrible.
  • @corditeshade
    I have the exact same van as you that I'm currently converting! Got a bargain however that bargain turned into needing a new starter, turbo and 3 glow plugs so it's currently in the local garage. My kitchen measures the same as yours, I thought it was going to be too long but seeing yours has made me realise it can work. How did you do the overhead storage? Thanks 😊
