The Van Conversion Is Finished! Self Build Camper Van Conversion For Dummies Part 7
In this van conversion video, we finish the van ready for our first BIG trip. We started our day finishing off a job we had been putting off for a while - finishing off our heating system - so we can now use our diesel heater on the road! We also wanted the ability to live off-grid when we need to so one of our bigger and more terrifying jobs was to install our solar panel on our pop top roof, which involved cutting a hole in our campervan roof! We also add the inverter for on-the-road charging and some homely touches, making it ready for our first real vanlife series coming soon!

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans KZfaq channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

Emma - when the world gained a travel blogger, it lost a hell of a Blue Peter presenter. You even used double-sided sticky tape! Also, very pleased to hear you like Nat Geo Traveller (and hopefully NGT Food). Apparently, one of the sub editors there is a really great guy (although he looks like a hoover, which is a bit strange). And Alex, your acting in the Readly intro was pure Hollywood. You need to get in front of the camera more!

You don't have to tell me Alex, I can definitely say that Emma is doing an awesome job! I'm going to be you when I get a van and it's so encouraging to see a woman who has never attempted a job like this to just go at it and actually get it done and make things work. Like you, I will team up with someone who has the tools and knowledge to help guide me but still it will be a challenge doing it for the first time and I will be nervous about drilling that first hole. Thank you for giving us women the, I can do it attitude. And, thank you Alex for being such a great support person for our Emma. Take care now and I will go check out your Instagram now. Have fun you two.

Soooo glad it's now a proper-fit-to travel van! You BOTH did a great job (Emma with her dedication and know how or pretend to, and Alex with his filming and patience or pretend to) Also, forever, I was annoyed at that one missing plank up on the "wall"next to your bed, lol. I also am glad that I see you now almost at 150k subscribers, when, not so long ago, as I started to follow you, you were at I think about 20k. You so deserve it and much more, by your genuine, humorous, and always interresting approach and your capacity to remain awkwardly and somehow honnestly yourselves while making pro content. Much love and respect❤️

Hi Guys, nice work on your conversion. One very important comment: If you use any combustion stove or heater inside or even around your van (like in an attached awning) definitely install a carbon monoxide alarm. They are cheap and can safe you from dying in your sleep. A must have in my book. CO has no odor and is lighter than air so the alarm must be installed high somewhere near the ceiling. Love your channel. AndyB
