We're so close we can almost taste it! In this weeks episode the van really starts to feel like its becoming a cozy little home on wheels. We get the water system up and running, gas system functioning, the water heater and diesel heater working, the cupboard doors on and the drawers in and the bathroom finished. Jon shows how simple it is to fit an after burner unit which makes our cheap diesel heater work in the same was and expensive thermostat controlled heater. I make the mistake of leaving Jon unattended filming for the morning and we share our tips and things to look out for if you are considering converting one of these vans.

On the door / drawer latch plates, if you get a small length of Aluminium angle, mark and drill a couple of holes (that correspond with the latch plate) in the right distance from the inner edge. hold up against the side panel and drill through the holes, a small nick filed out on the edge will serve as a centre mark. Another template for the collection 🙂

Hi guys! Long time watcher first time commenter. Have you considered just running the number 1 waste straight out the van floor (to eliminate need for emptying)? That’s what we did with our camper and realistically wild wees are somewhat acceptable anyway. We put a valve on the tank so we could keep it onboard if need be but mostly just let it drain out (unless on a site or someone’s drive or something). Also did you consider doing two vans alongside each other? The quality of your builds is so high it occurs to me you could offset the cost of your own build if you built another at the same time to sell? Thanks guys and keep up the great content - your channel is one of my absolute favourites at the moment!

@truebluetravellers 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for following along mate, I did think of this mate as they also do a toilet with no container and just a pipe so you can plum it to a tank and like you say install an electric valve to empty where u are aloud, So our biggest issue is space really we could do with some more storage space really but yeah would be cool to do 2, I did think now we have done 1 it would be good to do another straight away as we know what to do and not to do and would probably take half the time, don’t think Jess would be keen mind 😂

You guys are great, we have been watching Trent and Allie and kombi crew for a couple of years now, we are always looking for van build content and yours has to be the best we've watched so far, the finish on all your builds is absolutely brilliant. We always look forward to your videos, great stuff 👍👍

A SOG unit will do a similar job to your Composting toilet in the way it keeps the smell down, but the fans on them do pack up as they are running all the time. I have still to get round to fitting one. We just tend to bung in a Biologicals washing capsules if needed to help keep the thing from stinking. I didn't know that it was the combination of ones an twos that made them stink. Nice bung Jon. I turned out TV cabinet into a rotating food storage cupboard and used bung cord to allow longer items to be easily stored. So a Bungy always has a place. You need to put more in the garage to stop things from sliding about. Looking forward to next weeks video.

What a beautiful build, you have created a lovely smart cosy van....only just fallen onto your channel, and so glad I have, you are so funny and entertaining. Love the craftsmanship

Nice 👌🏼. The only thing I would have personally added would have been an access door for under the bed/garage so that I could squirm in if there was a problem and it was huffing it down outside. Unless you're going to do a lift up bed that is.

@truebluetravellers 7 ай бұрын

We did thing about doing something like this, would be good if you had dogs too as they could have the garage as there bed 👍

Can you go through the weight of the van beforehand and when completed everything, ie keeping it under 3500 so no c1 license is needed thanks just love the fun way you do the videos 👍

@truebluetravellers 7 ай бұрын

Cheers mate, so yep it’s was 2060kg unladen, with steps and ac unit removed, We will get it weighed too once complete and will be doing a full cost breakdown too for the whole build 👍

I recently added a fan in my RV to ventilate the new ecoflow power system that I installed under my dinette seat. I did not need the fan to run all of the time so I am adding a thermal switch. It has not arrived yet so no performance review but here is what I ordered off of Amazon: 2PCS KSD9700 5A 250V Thermostat Thermal Protector fuses Temperature Switch,Normal Open,35C
