Love that you have your fire extinguisher right up front. So many vans don’t show it, or it’s kept in the garage which, to me, is mind boggling.
@nigelandsueadventures2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Hazel. Yes, there's a lot of safety regulations here in Australia - maybe we will do a video about them! We had to have both the fire extinguisher and the CO2 monitor in order to have the van certified as a motorhome (amongst other things). We figured that was the best place for the fire extinguisher close to the stove.

Hi Susan, Nigel here. I’m thinking you might be meaning a split between our own ideas and pooling from ideas we’d garnered from other builds maybe? In that case definitely a split.

I don’t know that we could’ve done it without them so huge thanks to the pioneers as we weren’t the first. That said I think we’ve definitely added a few unique touches that have only added to the end result and it is our hope that we can pay it forward by offering our own insights.

Very nice build! What brand is your pull out bin? It’s ingenious!
@nigelandsueadventures2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Isabel. I’m not sure of the actual brand, we got it from Bunnings which is a large hardware chain here in Australia. I think it may be their home brand. We love it as it’s a one handed operation.

Hi Sue, what’s the brand name of those back bedroom windows please ? Appreciate, Annalise xx
@nigelandsueadventures6 ай бұрын
Hi Annalise, they are from ozvan .com.au. However I wouldn’t recommend sliding windows as you can’t open them when it’s raining. If we were building again we would use the pop out caravan style windows

Hi, great build with some new ideas! We are also converting a 170 / L3 4x4 Sprinter but we are a family of 4 which makes it a bit harder. What I wonder is what your current weight of the van is, either fully loaded when on the road or with tanks empty. Thanks.
@nigelandsueadventures2 жыл бұрын
Hi Roland, our GVM for the van is 4490 kg, and fully loaded it comes in at around 4300kg. I’ve seen builds that accomodate 4, I guess it depends on the size/age if your kids. You could possibly have a bunk bed where the top bunk folds down during the day to form the back of the couch?

@@nigelandsueadventures Ah ok, here in Europe there are two versions of the Sprinter, that has to do with regular car driving licenses going up to a GVM of 3500kg. So there is a version with a higher GVM (5 ton) but we typically want 3500kg GVM so anybody can drive them. Vehicles that are above GVM are much less wanted. However, 3500kg isn't that much if you start out with a fairly big 4x4 Sprinter. It came as a 9 seater 4x4 shuttle bus windows all around, already at 2800kg actual loaded weight. Removed some heavy rear seats. But I am hoping it will be around 3000kg without us and some luggage, keeping it light. We are just going to make a lower bed in the back and a bed for de kids above that. Then from there on a kitchen area, before you reach the fixed seating area for 4 people, with the front seats being able to turn. That way we don't have a bathroom, but we don't have any folding to do to convert between driving and sleeping.

Yeah we’d heard that about the 3500kg limit for a regular licence. Fortunately here in Australia it’s 4500. Because I only have a car licence. Nigel has a full truck licence though so he would be ok. But I guess that’s something we need to keep in mind if we come and build a van in Europe!

How do you open the bathroom door in the night with the ottoman in front of it?
@nigelandsueadventures2 жыл бұрын
Good question! There is actually enough room to open the door and get into the bathroom with the ottoman in place… just enough room!

Love the fitout. A technical question - what height have you got for the toy box/garage? Do you have to put the seats down on your MTBs?
@nigelandsueadventures2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Mal, yes we have to put the seats down. I forget the exact measurement, something like 863mm, and we kept it exact so we would have room to sit up in the bed. The exact measurement will be in the bed build video, I can look it up for you.

Hey Owen, thanks for subbing. We got the windows from ozvan dot com dot au (I can’t put a link here), but to be honest, if we were building again, we wouldn’t use sliding windows, we would use the ones that hinge from the top (caravan style). We can’t open ours when it rains.
