We bought our van in July 2022 and have worked on it solidly for 9 months, this shows you 9 months of achievement in 9 minutes using Timelapse, if only van builds were that quick. :)

Having watched you guys from the start & seeing each stage of the project it's not until you see the time-lapse, you realise how much work you've put into the build 🛠 give yourselves a pat on the back for what you've achieved so far 👏

Wow watching this time laps sort of hides the truth. It isn't as easy as you think. You have done amazing work on your conversion. Watching you videos and seeing the highs and lows. I didn't get that with this video. It made you look like camper conversion pros which of course you will be once you completed this conversion. Looking forward to more videos.

Handy if you can find a nice van to start with. I do hope that isn't the 2.1 engine in that. The 2.7 straight six was the best Sprinter engine. Could pull a full load easily and fuel consumption was good for such a powerful van.

Hi you two, I have a suggestion for your van build that I have seen on a few vans over the years. Perhaps think about fitting a small combination key safe somewhere accessible, but not obvious, to the van. That way if you decide to, let's say, go paddle boarding for example you don't have to take the van keys out on the water with you. Simply lock them in the key safe and enjoy the water without the fear of the key disappearing to the sea floor and being stranded. I've seen some vans where the owners have had a small panel cut and hinged to make a door then mounted the key safe behind it to hide the safe from inquisitive people but I guess under the van or behind a bumper could be an easier solution.

@lifeadventureprojects 4 ай бұрын

Hey 👋🏻 Really like this idea, so basically a safe under the van out of clear sight. Legendary suggestion! Thank you ❤️❤️

@lifeadventureprojects 9 ай бұрын

Hey 👋🏼 😊 thanks for your comment. So we’ve had the van since July 2022 and we’re still going with it, so over a year so far! We reckon another couple of months and we should be finished. We’ve only really done weekends on it and obviously have had some other things to do here and there, but it definitely has taken longer than we expected!
