♒︎ WHO ARE WE?
We are Gabe and Paula (Pau). We bought our van at the beginning of the 2020 with the idea of converting it during the weekends. But then, because of the global pandemic that has changed all our lives we suddenly found ourselves with a lot of time on our hands! After finishing at the beginning of August we started our epic journey to Spain to see Paula's family.

@@gabeandpau2243 Awesome build, love the video!!! Got some questions if you don't mind! Did you get an electrician in to do it, or check it over at the end? I second that that seems to be the most daunting to me. P.s. careful with those gas stoves, do you have a good carbon monoxide detector and good ventilation when cooking? I saw you have that huge fan, maybe thats good enough? I'd still cook with doors open :) When we do ours, I'm hoping to put our stove at the back so you could potentially slide it out to the outside of the van when cooking. Btw, with those mattress slats, a lot of sweat etc will escape from the mattress (Just put one flat on the floor for a couple of weeks and watch the mould grow), any concern that that might be an issue with all those electrics underneath?
