No such rule exists that says: the speed limit on bridges is: 50. There should be a clarly visible sign when speed limits are changing otherwise you should obey the national speed limits. This action was a good representation of greek corruption and not respecting common EU rules.

@@FreedomStrider That had to be cold Yo. what's taking so long to upload a new video how many miles your Van has now , you know that going to play a lot on the asking price, watching you two travel so far with your self build motorhome was fun to watch . We like that Vw model what is it a 2014 Crafter. I would of changed the layout and made it a pop up sleeper, makes for more room space or a front pull down bed. I was looking at fiat motorhome the layout is sweet comfort, it can't be that hard to do .

Thanks for the video. Have you tried attaching Rivnuts to the existing holes in the panel beams (the 8mm holes that usually take panel lining kits)? I’ve used rubber Rawlnuts in mine for attaching wooden cladding, but I think those rivnuts look like a better/stronger solution 👍

Never tried it for existing holes but as long as the hole is the right size it would work the same, saves you drilling out extra holes too 😉

I applied thinking I would be driving a cargo van but after going through the first part of training, I was told I would be driving this huge step van! My stomach is sinking and I'm so afraid! I feel intimidated by the size and the fear is making me feel like I'm gonna fail. Watching you get through it, even with the fear in very encouraging for me. Thank you for making this video! Kudos!

Great video but what i can't understand is ordinary vehicles dont have moisure barriers or vapour barriers. When it's freezing outside and were driving with the heating on, the roof should be damp and mouldy and every car should rust from the inside out. But they don't...what am i missing here..?

It worked great, the floor takes around 30minutes to heat up and stays warm for a while after, no issues with the glycol not being warm enough or with it sapping too much heat either 👍

4 years on and this series is still helping to educate new people like me wanting to buy a van for conversion. Absolutely invaluable information and the checklist is just so helpful. Nervously went to view two vans last week and just didn't know what I was doing. Spent 15 minutes circling the vehicle, poking a torch in places just to look like I knew what I was doing then took it for a 5 min test drive. Knew that wasn't the right way to go about things so came back home and stumbled upon your videos. Now I can't wait to view my next vans, properly inspect it, and actually know what I'm doing! You should be super happy with these vids, enabling people like me to successfully buy a van and live a happy vanlife. Your knowledge and passion shines through. Great job ❤
@FreedomStrider2 ай бұрын
Thank you! ☺️ We did exactly the same as you 10 years ago when we bought our first... Totally clueless we were. After 4-5 break downs, we quickly learn what we should have checked and thus got inspired to create the checklist and later share it. So glad you and many others are finding it useful.
