Well things seem to be taking one step forward and then 10 steps back. That's how it feels sometimes with this build. After finding a leak in the ceiling we patched it up hoping this would stop the water coming in and we also removed all of the solar panels to create a more versatile roof frame from uni strut which means that I can put a decking area at the back of the van.

Since the film "Snatch" is one of my all-time favorites, I can see a resemblance between you and Turkish. 🙂 You even sound like Jason Stratham. And too, ironically, the theme is all about Tommy getting a caravan from some Gypsies. I am a Gypsy descendant myself. So I'm wired for itinerancy. My family came to the US from Wales. I like your channel and will be watching as your 'story' progresses. Good luck.

Hey Will, glad to see that leak sorted. You might want to keep some of that insulating material for later when you make magnetic window blinds. Darkness and Insulation in one. (although not sure how safe that plastic-fiber material is). Also, I have not seen a single van insulating over those metal beams. Surely, it's metal and thereby a good conductor of heat. Surely, a layer of thin insulating material over it is not going to reduce the ceiling height much --just few millimetres perhaps.

Great work!! If it helps, in the cross member above the door, you could open up one of those holes at one end, thread some string through to the other end and pull a strip of insulation through. Also the insulation will work slightly less effectively the more you compact / compress it. The air holes (fluffiness) in it's purchased state are part of it's effectiveness... resist the urge to compact it / stuff it in. Really enjoying your channel and journey sir :)

A roof deck is a waste of space, why not put a storage pod up there instead? save space inside your van by stashing stuff you only need occasionally on the roof. Cant imagine you will be wanting to sit on your roof too often in "sunny" England. I visited family in Ipswich a few years ago, it was your summer and I had to buy a jumper it was so cold. - cheers from Queensland Australia

I think you should tell us your plans of how you're gonna do things a week before you do them so you can get tips from the comments, as it stands now, the tips are always too late because we see you doing a job, after it's already done, lol. I'm not experienced in this, but I would have said, not to try and pack soo much wool in the cavities, as trapped air is where the insulation is, if you pack the wool too tight, there will be not much air and heat will pass straight through it maybe..

You should have used “expanding spray foam” for the insulation on the upper insides of the roof, fills in every void and would expand out of the holes and then you just easily cut the excess

Until you want to sort electrics out and then you can't as the wires are set solid haha

True, but can be smarter and put a small pvc pipe along inside to run new wires and/or get to the old ones, and it will be safe in the pipe and foamed

Those bars he just installed, are basically just that but the way the mounts work, you can mount anything safely and securely with brackets, anywhere the full length, not just with bungee cords and string. Solar panels are just glass and break very easily. Have a vantastic day! 😘

I did try telling you in a previous vid,, when you put the battens on the SIDES of the roof beams to save headroom,, that there wont be much room for insulation... Squashing it in is not a great idea,,,, its the air pockets in the insulation which does the work,, not the material...

Ask your mate but I think you'd get away with expanding foam (aerosol can) in the holes in those supports for insulation.

BRO......every fiber of my inner mechanic is cringing at you using that expensive electrical screwdriver to pry those Z brackets off the roof!!! He doesn't have an old "throw down" flat blade screwdriver!! O.K......rant over. P.S. Keep doing what you're doing, I dig watching the videos. Not just the van builds either.
