you can fry the potato cakes in a little butter or oil. We sometimes cut them into bites, with lardons and sausage squares, scrambled egg, tinned tomatos etc

chinese heaters come with all filers and bits required :) and work reliably and safely.. just saying . Frank from down under

"This is all going to plan...which puzzles me." <- One of your funnier lines! 😉

SAFETY!!! - If the van is parked is there a chance the heater exhaust gases with enter back up through the floor around the loose fitting hoses or other floor openings?

I’ve just discovered your van build vlog recently so I may be too late, but it would be nice to have some distinctive ending music or sound effect, rather than end suddenly.

Just in case anybody else is doing similar projects and wants to buy those spring loaded poles I suggest you check in the Bath department of your local department store for shower curtain rods

Nice review, useful.

I sincerely appreciate the precision, but: “Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good.”

you have van termites

Stunning beaches! You're right. It is calling out to be painted and I may have to grab a couple of screen shots, with your permission, to paint in acrylic. Seascapes is one of my favorite subjects to paint.

I did wonder would it fit under the passenger seat behind the wiring? I know this is old I am thinking aloud

That was more of an impressive rant, David well done😊

I like that you research your projects & your thoroughness in the improvements. Well done. 👍

ha---so many questions about the cheese sandwich--and everytime i hear a cheese sandwich i think of you and your boat series. one of the first things my mom taught me how to make, and sorry to say, they were grilled cheese sandwiches with american cheese--hope you dont curl your nose up too much!!. but over the years i have tried to expand my taste in different cheeses and have enjoyed them. you must be lucky living in the u.k. to be able to experience some cheeses that we cannot get or even have in the u.s. cant wait until you have some decent meals on your new boat.

Got a similar tent we use on the beach and in parks for warm sunny days. It isn't water proof and won't resist much wind. We've had hours of fun using it!

I did indeed watch all 3 parts David 😅

Very cool to see you in my neck of the woods David. 😊

Brilliant video I've been to Malvern plenty of times especially the three county show

That fan is a beast! I could sleep well with that fan.

This is the best video on KZfaq omg ❤

Was it a good idea to have the waste bin placed directly over the heater outlet?

I love that bed design! Also, the bluish gray is a nice contrast to the umber gray floor. Well done.😊

I did have to laugh, David. Two videos ago you say I am not going to video roads, their roads. Then two videos later your videoing roads, very pretty though they are, it did make me have a little chuckle.😂

I have a dometic mine will Plug into Mains, cigarette lighter and I love it and even use it for day trips to keep drinks cool and regular camping they are a brilliant American brand. But yes very expensive x

Once the Lino is in you wouldn’t have seen the gap and tbh you could have used beading worse case scenario. That you often see in laminate flooring. Hide any nasties. I wouldn’t have rebuilt for such a small gap!

Well done David, I would have needed clean laundry hehe

mate you gotta spit on the plastic pipes to make it easier!

Paint the legs white

Center s

It's a drill bit. In a sliding piece That Sinners

They make a center drill bit for hinges. It's a real bit And a sliding peace

This was great to watch! My grandpa bought a 2003 Ford E350 XLT Super Duty Extended 15 passenger van and converted it to a camper. Took out all of the back seats, built a platform for his bed with storage underneath. Added curtains over the windows and added two vents on the roof. He loved that van. He really would have enjoyed your videos. Thank you, David!

So, basically, to all those who think they know better.... shut up and trust that Mr Johns knows what he's doing. Anyway the van wouldn't pass its MOT if it was unsafe, this is UK driving laws!

It's really been difficult to keep a clean mind the last few episodes!!! 'It's getting stiffer, I'll just push it in the hole', jiggling a exhaust pipe rapidly. Or am I just being childish?

Bless you.

You mentioned in a previous episode about sitting in the van looking out the back and the backrest of the front chairs being uncomfortable. I would suggest a 'foam wedge pillow' (2x2ft with a 1ft gradient). The only problem with that is it requires a cover (maybe sis could help as she did with the curtains? Good old sis!), you could then just prop pillow your lower back for comfort. A wedge pillow is also good for sleeping propped up with a cold or sinus troubles.

David,,,,you are quite delightfully a quintessential englishman mucking about with your hobby like the rest of us other daft englishmen. Very entertaining old chap. Love your ramblings sir.

That's it Wreyland and Mavanwy!

ME ME ME I'll test out your suspension!!!!!

Scooby Doo question. You're a Velma!

Awesome spot. thank you!

Enjoy your videos keep up the good work

OMG that is severe!!!! I literally peed myself!

Love it. Can you hear the optomistic 'we're gonna have a great 2020'!????Little did we know then!!!

Okay, that was weird. Just as you said Abergavenny, I (after diping it in my tea) took a bite of an Abergavenny biscuit.

I have walked up that steep winding hill with a bunch of chums on a week of activities. The bus choked at the bottom and we had to carry all our heavy backpacks and gear! Never again!

Good job Ole chap!

Hi love your video's (van and narrowboat). May I suggest cutting the cornbeef into cubes and heating in the beans .

10:45 missed the chance to say Onlyvans!

i need a cheese sandwich!
