It is all about the bed isn't it. Camping, whether in a tent or a van, swinging in a hammock or on a bedroll under a tarp; while what and how you eat is important, getting a good nights kip is key to having any entertaining adventure in the great outdoors. And your bed (in both single and configurations) looks the absolute business. Thanks for the video, I hope you enjoy making them and folks enjoy watching them. Keep on camping :)

Love to see her restoration .

Great vid.. Loved the car wash bit.. You forgot to show our heater..

Beautiful van and great video!

Hi Jane....yet another brilliant vlog... A lovely van you have Jane and was nice to see a tour it's lovely... Would be nice to see how Johnny renovates his van.....best wishes .... look forward to next weeks.....love Andrea and Martin Smith x

bought my 93 t4 with 96k miles on it

Great layout....u shape sofa is definitely the way forward rather than a very uncomfortable rock and roll bed. Great van....might need lowering just a little!!

Hi l have just bought my first t4 camper and was worried had l made one more big mistake in my life! Your video has just eased my mind-so thank you for that!. Soo looking forward to following my life’s dream!

Thanks for this. I pretty much followed your plan on my 1995 1.9d t4.

You are such a joy to hang with, good luck to Johnny with his new build.

Love your channel! I hope you share all of the tips you spoke of!

Hi, yes would love to see restoration video. Love your videos, so happy to find your channel!

First off lovely T4 big thumbs up on the Bovril good girl and the tic tak box idea was epic

it would be nice to see the restoration video

Had my T4 for 12 happy years. Mine was a 2.5tdi and it flew along. Bonus of the 1.9 is it’ll run on Veg Oil quite happily. You can also do a tdi conversion using a donor engine out of a Golf or Seat.

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and thoroughly enjoyed it. Your personality and style are awesome!

Kitchen foods tour please:)

I have had mine for 13 years now, I will never sell my T4, even if I was to buy another van. Great video and nice to finally see a proper tour of Myrtle.

I would switch 2a folding toilet if space is a premiium..... A pop-top with upper berth would make it perfect. Love your decor. 😊👍

257635 mile? She will do 500,000 + if she is looked after, your van is Beautiful. Please keep us up to date with Johnny’s T4. Paul

I loves that VW Lighter! 😘😘😘😘😘

a british army sleeping bag ,wonderful,i still have mine ,and it,s 45 years old and it still does the job

I loved seeing the full tour of Myrtle. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I came here after it was recommended by the Rick Vanman channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Brilliant, love her layout. Really jealous off that adjustable front seat! Would love to see the resto pictures and what food you keep / take. And welcome along Johnny, looking forward to see you van progression 👍👍

It's been great to have a nose around the rest of Myrtle. Well done for such a great design. I look forward to seeing the progress with Johnny's new van.

Great video and love the simple layout. I think you have nailed the whole ethos of van travel. Nice and simple wins the day.

Love love love love love this video. I feel so honoured that I have sat in Myrtle and had a cuppa ! :). Yes to all your drop a comment comments. Show us everything lol. Good luck Jonny, you got a bargain there I reckon. If you can dream it you can make it. :)

ive just bought a t4 ,loving this layout ,really nice

Just bought a T4, first video I've watched Cheers

Really enjoyed that. About to embark on a campervan conversion myself so have been making notes. Thank you for sharing! Xx

Thank you for sharing. love the VW!

Laughed out loud when I saw your toilet !! 😂 great van nice to keep older vans on the road.

Nice video, I feel the T4 is a beautiful van, always felt like a car to me when I drove one a few years back. I think the pop-top would be a great addition, to at least enable standing, etc. The hob arrangement? Worries me! So close to the front seats of the van. Strikes me as a gigantic fire hazard...... I know you said you were OCD about the design, and because you knew you'd be cooking in there you avoided the carpeting for the sides, but how you missed this I'm not sure. I'd be terrified to cook like that, to be honest. I do think though that the open design is a better option, many of these conversations I have seen seem overly cluttered and loaded with things that would likely never be used. Anyways, enjoyed the video! Keep going!!

Thank you, really enjoyed your amazing build.

Beautiful van! I loved watching this video even though it was quite some time ago!🥰

I would be very interested on a video covering costs etc, as i'm currently planning / budgeting for my future van conversion :) I will definitely steal your bed/ table area.. way better than a rock n roll bed!! great work :)

I would like to see the restoration process xx great video thanks for sharing xx

Really enjoying your videos. I’ve been down the KZfaq rabbit hole looking at van layouts! As a solo traveller I really like yours and the fact you’ve kept things simple. I’ve a few questions and it would be really helpful to know your thoughts. 1) Have you ever had to jump through to the front? Is it possible with your layout? Thinking solo female needing to make a quick exit. 2) I see you’ve no sink and have a fold up one. Is that a regret? Presumably you just heat some water up in the kettle and just chuck it on the ground when finished. 3) What’s the length of your bed when in single mode? 4) You’ve no leisure battery, how do you go on storing food? Do you have a cool box? 5) How do you go on for heat when not on hook up? I see you have an oil filled radiator. Must be cold if off grid. Presumably you get all steamed up too. 6) Your lighting is battery fairy lights. Is it enough? Sorry for so many questions, just trying to work out best way forward :)

Very Nice Build

Really enjoyed this, bless you

Do a video on the Bob (Bug Out Bag)

Loved the video. I have some renovating to do on the yacht but it has to wait until the rigging is sorted...

Great, love your videos! Especially when you go out hiking around Cornwall, as ive only been for the first time last year, so it's great to get ideas on where to visit next. I have a T4 as well, love it! Would also be interested in seeing Johnny's restoration along the way. 😊

I was going to sell my T4 but your myrtle has convinced me to keep it and fit it out the same as yours! i love it! and the colour scheme :)

Yay!! Finally. Thanks so much. I would love to see a full Kitchen tour, I love kitchen/Pantry tours especially in small spaces. IE what do you do about refridgeration, I don't see a cooler. How did you decide on what spices to include? What dry foods do you keep that are the most versatile? etc etc. Love it, what an awesome van, again thanks so much.

A noble old Lady.....😁😉

Hi love your van. And good video. And yes please to your picture's of the van. Enjoy take care

Camping one pot recipes?? I may have a nice set of booklets (pdf's mind you) which were used back in the day by German Army field kitchen chefs who were doing their magic in the so called Gulashkannone, a pressure cooker/coffee maker/oven on wheels, early models where horse drawn, later models were dragged around behind small trucks. If you like old recipes and don't mind the German translation dance, these booklets are great to study.

Great video. Love the layout you’ve got and very nicely built. I have a SWB T4 with the usual 3/4 R+R bed and units down the side and I don’t really like it but kind of stuck with it at the moment. Would love a layout similar to yours, it’s very inspiring but I’ve just not got the time at the moment. Great job and really enjoyed the tour of your van. Great channel by the way 👍

Nice build, but a bed with 7 matress pieces - is that comfy with all that "gaps"?

Yes please please

很棒的影片，我很喜歡。謝謝妳，加油啦！

Picking my yellow t4 (deedee) up today..... pllleeeaaasssseeeee put the restoration video up xx

Great design layout, love it. What are the wall cards made of please, it looks like a wipe clean surface on the videos. Would love a kitchen run through as well. Loved this edit, laughed out loud, you’re very funny 😂

Forget the kitchen rolls, search on e bay for 10" couch rolls. They are far superior to kitchen roll

nice little van, i have a 2007 t5 and love it, the good lady hates it and wants me to buy a new car.................. bugger that the vans are full of character , all the best from sometimes sunny stanwick,northants.

HI Jane! Awesome, and exactly the right video for my journey. Me myself just got an old T4 of a friend and I just started restorations on it😊🙏 by any chance, would you have the measurements of your kitchen area, as it seems perfect👌. Greetings from Scandinavia🌨️🌍☀️

Show us the Farm Show us the farm.

O you are so entertaining...enjoyed your tour emensly x

I just bought myself a 93 Eurovan and would love to see your pix of your Reno. I am just trying to figure out what to do and where to start

Hi my lad and I have bought a t4 and really like your lay out we have tried to see you measurements from your drawings as a guide but can't get enough info from them can you help thanks

Please could I have the link for the wind deflector for cooker

Did you ever do a “food” tour?

Thank you for the video. There are loads of great ideas there. I have one question right now: what are the bed-mattress sections made from?

Did you get the restoration video up yet?

Where do you do number 2

Just the layout inspiration I needed! How did you secure the bed to the floor?

Love your recipes, l have been thinking of a different layout and l have looked at loads , think l am going to copy yours🙂 being cheeky now do you have the sizes of the kitchen and foam you used. And is it swb many thanks Paul 👍 Ps roll on warmer weather

Hi, where did you get the cushions for the mattress / seats from?

Restoration videos please 🥰

Love your van. Just bought my first 199 T4 .. she's called Dolly but needs restoring and converting. Loved your ingenous bed design..Im going to copy ❤ I hope you dont mind?? Would love to know where you sourced the cushions?? Ps.. i also have a leaking coolant!!

Once u have scrubbed the seat, u need to suck out dirt or it will keep coming back ha. A house hold carpet cleaner dose the trick

Buy some doggy poo bags for your "toilet" and you're golden😉

Sorry think i deleted my first message, Am based in St Austell as for the 93 Syncro. I like the idea about go anywhere. Fitting it with some very capable all terrain tyres. Should be on the road for Christmas. Then making liveable Thanks for video

yes, please I need video for restoration, Pius Uganda

Great video Janey. Yes it would be good to see the progress on Mr Jonny's van. Also, where did you get the varying sized cushions? Were they specially adapted? As always, thx for sharing. Take care. :o)

Dont even think about a roof tent they are awful, climbing up and down a ladder is not nice and if you slip you are buggad. Instead buy a 2-second tent from Decathlon, much more practical and cheaper. If you have a R&R bed and a swivel seat, you can feed 4, or sit opposite each other, plus you can sit down to cook while the eater relaxes in the double seat. Down in 1 second, up in 5 seconds and bedding stored behind the seat, all done inside the van with the doors shut. Back in 2015 we bought an 08 Vivaro, no work, no rust and conversion parts about £1k all in.

No way, I just bought M514MYL :) Caravelle on 120k. Hi neighbour 😂👍🤘

The cupholder "tutorial" would be useful. The ones in my T5 are awful...

This is the first conversion vid I've looked at so far but think its great , all makes sense . Are all the dimensions on the plans you showed . Looking to convert my T4 soon [ on a budget ] and will most likely copy your design if that's ok ! Thanks for a great video . ps what make is the hob ?

Hi, love your van tour. What happened to the TKMax Homesence things you bought for the van? I only saw a couple. (I watched that video before this one). Rose X

Im currently making my own T4 conversion and would love to use that bed design...do you have the dimensions of the pillows that you used? Thanks!

Güzel iş

Brilliant just subscribed. Oh and check out DTE Van life you do not need to buy the proper replacement engine as a Scoda Fabia engine will slip wright in and is a third of the price good luck.

Hi, what material did you use to cover the walls?

Класс.молодцы.

How much was the respray please? ❤

You're sweet but that's the most ridiculous bed setup I've seen in a van build and I've seen them all, you planned too hard because that's too complicated and all those pieces unnecessary. The last thing to worry about is the spices, why go through the trouble with loading tictac containers. Spice containers are so well thought out that no point in anyone creating anything different, they're as small and easily stored as your tictac rendition and nicer looking. I like Myrtles color and that you're happy with her so criticism aside, good for you getting it done....happy travels and thumbs up!
