Stain makes all the difference visually ✨ Most of the wood is reclaimed from cheap tables on Facebook Marketplace

Haha thank you! It was definitely a game changer when I realised half way through that my local B&Q do 15 free cuts when you buy your wood there 😅 so after some clever measuring up, the kitchen came together pretty quickly

That made me smile lots 🥰

@@vanvistas loved watching you takel all the different jobs of the build with ease well done

@@vanvistas bullgand

Forget the van ... get this woman on a yacht! All the right skills and attitude!

Big whoop 💩

Yeah, the hole needs to be deburred too. It will help the lifespan of the electrical.

Ain't got time for osha safety regulations when you decide to be homeless and live in your car.

They’ve been fine so far and it’s been more than a year. The roof is made of fibreglass and not metal, so I don’t think it’s even sharpe enough to chafe the cables 🙃 would probably have done it in hindsight but I seem to have gotten away with it

@@assordante2205bizarre how you clicked on the video really if you have nothing positive to contribute. must be angry at your own shortcomings to write something like that lol.

That’s just made my day, thank you! ☺️

And it only took 22 minutes.

Probably we had watch 2 different video...😳

Narrator: he hasn't seen thousands. Probably 20-ish at most.

Thank you so much! It was definitely a journey 😅 but so worth it!

Thanks so much! The build feels like such a long time ago now 😅

Thank you so much!

It’s pretty crazy watching this back now! I hardly believe it’s me 😅

And it’s SO tall inside, definitely makes the MWB feel so much more spacious! ☺️

@@vanvistas yeah I do love the layout!...headspace is a must for me 😊

@@Builditfixituseit I even have to use a little stool to get to the back of my cupboards 😅

@@vanvistas 😆😆...oh!..im the other end of the spectrum...😆

Thanks so much 😊

Oooh exciting! Best of luck, KZfaq is the place to be, I learnt everything from KZfaq

That’s such a lovely message, thanks so much Dave! We spent last summer in Ireland exploring all down the Wild Atlantic Way and LOVED it!

@@vanvistas Well folk's I hope you get back again for another visit soon . Best wishes to you both on your adventures. 🍀❤️🍀❤️🍀👍👍👍

Thank you! That means a lot ☺️

That’s so nice of you! It was a lot of work, but absolutely worth it! It’s crazy seeing it all come together here so quickly 😅

Haha mostly on the wonky streets outside my boyfriends house and in his garden, it was a luxury if I was able to get time off work to go to my parents farm and work on it on the flat with space to work right next to the van! 😅

Thank you so much!

YES!! You can absolutely do it! You can learn everything on KZfaq and it’s worth checking in on Facebook forums to see if there’s an affordable co-workshop space near you

That’s awesome thank you! I’ve got to say I’m still very please with it after 6 months, so maybe I should do a little update at some point

@@vanvistas and I hope you have correct the electrical mistakes...

Thank you! It was a blessing and a curse doing it over a year because although it felt like a lifetime, I was able to shop around and find great bargains on second-hand sites

Thanks so much 😊

Thank you so much! The hard work is definitely paying off 👊🏼

Thank you 🥰

Thanks so much! It’s definitely all paying off now ☺️

Thank you! The caddy was lovely, but this really is a tiny home 🤩

🥰

Thanks so much Michel, I hope you’ve been enjoying some adventures. One of my older brothers is currently living in the North of Germany, so I hope to come and visit next Spring 😊

@@vanvistas Hi, i live in the south near the city of Nuremberg but I have been this summer for a week in North Germany on the camping area of Schelling. Was a very nice place to be, we were driving a lot with ebikes but it was definitely to cold for a swim 🥶 So we decided to drive down to Italy and stay in place called Castiglione della Pescaia. Lovely place to swim with fantastic clear and warm water... Love to come one day to UK, I've been working and living there 1978-79 in London and then in the 80s in Wiltshire near Bath. Have a lot of good memories from that time and met a lot of beautiful people there... Take care and have a lot of good driving with your van👋

I'm 67 and building a 7.5t pan Asia truck - so far on my own....

Thank you! It’s so nuts to see it all together like this. I think I missed out a few tantrums though 😆

Thanks so much! 😊

Hey! Thank you! There’s a compost toilet in the middle section under the bed that slides out and we have a USB powered shower that we can set up outside or inside. There’s a van tour video on my page, if you have a scroll that shows a few more bits

Thanks so much 😊

Thank you ☺️

heck yeah!

Thanks so much! This makes it look a little too easy 😅 but you can absolutely do it! KZfaq has video tutorials for everything you could ever need

Thank you so much! A lot of hard work, but gone there in the end 👊🏼

Thanks so much, is SO nice to finally get to enjoy all the hard work 😅

😅 it was a lot of work, but I think it’s definitely paid off

Thank you! It feels so surreal that it’s all finished and we’re off travelling

I’m sure it will! Perseverance is key 😅 there were definitely a few times where I just stood in it staring at it for too long not knowing what to do next and exhausted from working full time and spending all my spare time learning how to do things 😅 but you power through!! 🙌🏼

Thank you! The bathroom is a bit of a pop-up system. I show how it works in my van tour video, if you scroll down through my videos you should find it 😊

The roof is fibreglass, and the cables are super tight and secure so I’m not worried

Not to make it a point of contention, doesn't matter if its made of turds. Hard vibration vs soft cable.

What kind of car?

Thank you! It’s a Vauxhall Movano L2 H3

Hey! That’s so exciting and I’m beyond flattered. I never really drew everything out in perfect detail, I sort of just went by eye and trial and error as you’ll find straight lines don’t seem to exist in a van 😅 I’d start by decided what you want in the van and getting the measurements for those, taping them out on the floor and figuring out what space you’ve got left. I learnt everything from KZfaq and Greg Virgo’s videos on the electrics were particularly helpful for putting my mind at ease there

Thank you 😊

That means a lot, thank you! 🥰

Thank you ☺️

They’re actually fantastic! I had some reservations about them after seeing mixed reviews online. But I didn’t want to put heavy rigid ones and blots through the fibreglass roof. The only downside I see now that it’s winter is that it would be amazing to have a rack that could be tilted to the sun, but I’m still barely getting below 80% at night even standing for a few days and working full time

The yoga mat insulation is working out super well! It’s been 7 months now and I don’t feel any difference in my van than any of my friends who have used various other things. The Oven is the Triplex from Thetford and I love it
