These onwards vlogs are so much better!!! I started our van business because of my dad too. Real life and Relatable. Cheers!!

Back to the basic. I love this calum!! Nothing beats hard work and grit, keep it rolling

Great vid. Always good to see different, in depth content. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one of those red 4x4 sprinters rocking round my area (newton abbot). Always in opposite direction.🤙

Amazing to see the amount of care, precision, and taste you manage put into your product. I admire that you dare to share all of that out in the open. Absolute joy to watch you working and understanding your reasoning behind your decisions.

Some great videos from this latest set 🤙…… I have asked this question before (apologies), Are you doing a video on the yellow 5t sprinter???….it looked such an awesome van. Either way it’s good to see this new content..

Where did you get that window? Not seen that shape before and would like one for a back door too

workshop envy!

What ply are you guys using?

Consummate...chapeau!

Good to see you back on the Tube. Really enjoying the open and honest chat and a pleasure to see your work. Many ideas and insights 👌

great work keep it coming

So good to see these builds! Keep the videos coming!

I'm in awe of the quality of your work. Sometimes for no deserved or even understandable reason life can deal a pretty crap hand - in my life and work I've seen lots of folks given a bum deal - but through the hard days just remember it's no reflection on you. Keep the faith in the quality that you are and in what you do; it's a truism (even metaphorically) that through the long night follows day.

I really hope you find a workshop. A fresh start is always good! Admire your honesty, onwards!! 👊

Fascinating video showing the reality not the stageshow. I am well aware myself of these issues that in a sense stop momemtum having run my own Caravan/Motorhome business for 10 years. The time involved in just sourcing parts and rectifications can be a slog for sure. Customers are needed but are also in control. You are clearly very professional and produce some great work Calum so wish you all the best on your path ahead. :ook forward to your updates!

tricky, feel you pain with being accommodating to customer 'wants'......maybe swaying you from knowing and insisting on whats best, and now results in sticky/costly outcomes. sounds like you are are doing honourably at resolving. bespoke builds...bespoke outcomes. good luck, keep going!

Ah, customers, gotta love em, they allways know best 🤔 said no-one ever. Love the honesty.👍

Really loved your honesty in this Calum. Been following onwards for a while, since we created our own little van. We have definitely been inspired by your van designs. It’s so easy to think that everyone you see online has it all figured out, its really great to see that we are all just figuring it out as we work our way through the world. Loving this little corner of KZbin.

Nice to see the start of the new space, hopefully the videos you've been making over the past year will return as I really enjoyed seeing the process with the vans.

Good to see you back online Callum - looking forward to seeing how the new shop and business approach pans out!

Cant wait! Bring it on!!! New chapter?

Wouldve saved that hightop and the porthole windows, being a conversion company woildve been cool to see that top live on. Ive thrown out parts and wholeheartedly regrtted it afterwards.

Drone!

Such cool vibes to this! That intro was so good and love how its just you guys going about your work with no dodgy youtube music! That t4 dropside is awesome 👌

Interesting vid.👍…. Are you gonna do a run down on the yellow 4x4 sprinter??

What an amazing vehicle!!

When are we getting more of these? All of the episodes have been FANTASTIC SO far! I've been following you for years and have most of your publications (and shirts - please make more of these! Mine is at the end of it's life!!) I would absolutely LOVE to see you work on your new personal van. I'm just now in a position to get my first van, and due to budget - will be converting myself - love this sort of thing anyway. I'm not sure whether to go T5, or. Ducato just yet, but which ever way I go it'll be closely modelled on your designs as they are head and shoulders above the competition. Keep it up, and release more content!! PS if you are sellling, any Onwards merch, please let me know! I'd love aT, or pull over!

Ah man, it’s sad to see it go. It’s amazing how it’s had such an effect on so many people though. It’s pretty much what persuaded me to my my van. I am going through exactly same thing with my van at the minute. I’m still may get it repaired if it’s not gonna cost me a fortune. I would really miss it if I had to get rid of it

Very nice design! May I ask what you use on these walls? Is it felt? Thank you for letting me know :) Keep up the good work!

Definitely a hard decision. I spent years trying to keep my bongo going until it just needed to much work. If I had endless funds I'd most likely still have it. But unfortunately that's not the case. Loving the content, keep up the great work 👍🏼

Sprinter looks amazing. Your engineering skills and attention to detail are to be applauded. Well done and good luck with the completion.

I'm sure it was a hard decision to let the van go but in the end the right decision with the amount of work needed. I wish there were still some copies of the journal available as I'm missing 2 and 4. Looking forward to what's next in whatever van you choose.

The result is amazing ! Love your work and your videos, see the process is always interesting 🚌

I've never seen this much rust on a T4 :O If anything, I was surprised you wanted to take a shot at it prior to stripping down.

Very sad but the right decision was made. I'd hate to have to scrap my t4 I look forward to seeing what you replace it with......

Followed you for years, came to the Milton Keynes book launch too. Then caught up again at Quirky 2019, was great to see the camper all finished. Sad to see the years have taken their toll again.

Only discovered you guys a couple of months ago but I’m already completely invested. Can’t wait for next episode, spec on the sprinter gonna be huge! 😍

I’ve had my T4 for 6 years … it’s done 255,000 and I wouldnt part with it… I feel your pain

I met you guys, and the van when you did your Kickstarter/book launch in Milton Keynes many years ago. Great to see the van is still fighting on, and then I watched more of this video and saw that all the hope in the world cannot fight the weather and rust.

Well done on the builds they look such great quality. Good luck with the new workshop and future builds.

Everything about your builds is so well thought about and finished to absolute precision! Even down to the delivery & presentation. Beautiful build

Looks amazing! ✨ I don’t know if I missed it, but what kind of fabric are you using inside on the walls?

Looks total quality true craftsmanship. Good luck for 2023

Amazing work!!! 🔥

That floor is a work of art! Seems a shame to stand on it with boots!

Truly epic build with some beautiful touches. 🙌 Nice result getting the unit next door, it looks great already! Cool to see the original t4 build outside too 🧡

Yes, Calum! So stoked on this! Keep up the good work 🤙

I am always in awe of your work. Obsessed with all the details!

I’d like to see more of Mackie please! ❤

Can I ask which pop top you fitted, and also was that Osmo you used on the roof slats? Lovely work
