Okay, but just a quickie! Installing these caravan windows in the van is going to add both light and ventilation. I also quickly discuss what's coming up in the build!

Great Max. I have to say, watching your van build is SO NATURAL and not playing up to the audience all the time like some other you-tubers doing builds, they make me want to vomit. You make a great teacher. It gives me the feeling you are interested in the objective at hand rather than trying to win subscriptions. I like how some parts you detail the process then other parts you speed up to avoid monotony. I showed my friends interested in refurbishing their vans and they couldn’t believe how you are accomplishing this yourself whilst trying to record it on video. Well done. We are watching you with great interest.

Im considering a LWB in the Ford Transit then a Sprinter but maybe even an Iveco so interested to see what challenges you face during the build. Not a bad spot to build either and a nice shed you have :) 3 months will fly :)

I think it makes the world of difference having more light coming in. It's one of the reasons we chose the boat we did for our off grid home, because there was just so much natural light coming in. I like the fact that you're managing to keep it stealth too 👌🏻

Enjoying 'taking part' in the build mate. For what it's worth, I'd go for a looser fit on the windows - you need a good bedding of sealant/adhesive to make them water tight. A tight fit will scrape it all off as you try and finally fit them..
