You guys are rocking out & keeping it real... one if the few travelling You tubers that are actually doing this. You don't portray it to be what it's not. Love that you are doing these renovations on your retreat. We are ex retreat owners. Love how you keep your private lives to yourselves & you show us what happens when things go wrong with your van. You get our vote as best You Tubers at present! Things have come a long way since the 1980's when we did our first lap in a V8 HZ Kingswood & a 16ft franklin Caravan... Back then you didn't need to to have the best & biggest of everything. Keep on keeping it real guys. Well done!

Noice build.. looks like fun...

You all work well together. Doing a awsome job. I've watched Megan and Jack since the troupe. There a magic couple. Thanks for the vid.😊

I bought a Crusader with a 850 kg payload

This is great to watch, but i don't understand why the negative comments on timber frame caravans, like all things we build you must maintain standards and have preventative maintenance and in doing so enjoy what you create, good on you guys for sharing your experiences.

Always good to watch. Is there a reason no glue was used to help hold the frame. Or is it just really not required?

Might be a stupid suggestion but dont forget you’ll have boxes in front of the doors on the front hatch.

Great video, what fuse did you tap into? Cheers

Looking great guys. Can i ask what staple gun you use? We have no luck with the ones we get, keep on jambing up on us

RIBBON. this would be awesome for our lap coming up

Just buy a bucket of black box wipes you will never have a problem with cleaning up sika products or silicone based products. Much loved friend in the vehicle building industry

The old purple paint on the tools, should have that with mine my work car got cleaned out last week and I had no way to identify my tools.

I'm enjoying watching this series. I love building & and repairing things, furniture & cabinets mainly. We've had a few vans over the years, but I didn't realise how flimsy they are. Where would we be without the modern sealants? 😊

what timber did you use when you did these repairs in the framework? thanks for vid!

Coming along nicely guys I’m thinking your front boot doors will determine what size toolbox and where you can mount it closer to the van or closer to the hitch on the a frame

Good that your sealing it but I would of gone a 2 part epoxy timber preserver- I'm a boat builder trust me the stuff will never let moisture in. But in saying that it's looking great good on ya for giving it a crack

Can’t wait for Erin to start saying ‘I used to build caravans’ now 😂😂😂 Well done guys 😁

Really enjoying these vids guys! Can’t wait to see the end result, caravan building experience aside I take my hat off to you! Be proud!😁👍

Those protective glasses work well on top of your head. With the corner of the sheet metal so close to your eyes, just one little slip is all it takes

Love the look starting to come together. Love must say I have not seen the manufacturing of a timber van and this has made me happy our new van isn’t timber 😂😂

As someone who has renovated a van! You're so lucky it just stopped not far from the front of the van with the damage.. we just finished the exterior reno and we re panelled the whole roof and exterior side walls too! Was a job and a half.. cant wait to see how yours finishes up!!

I love your videos but recently the audio seems to have changed. I am deaf in one ear and use one earphone in my "good" to listen to videos. I am now only hearing one of you speak. Please go back to your previous audio setup.

The way you present makes you mob so enjoyable to watch. Like most, I tend to over build with projects, adding unnecessary weight, etc. I really like that you show the "mundane" which is really helping me with my current van modifications. Thank you very much for the effort in getting these videos out. Wishing you all the best!!!

I'm glad no further rot, Sorry to worry you that you lost sleep, NOT 🤣🤣, Seen so many with rotten bottoms, 😃, Save Yous so much work , , Looking good, Cheers 🤠🦘🦘🇦🇺

Loving the videos guys. Good luck with it all. I’d be too nervous to do what you are doing! Can’t wait to see y’all back on the road.

Just highlights the original crap standards adopted in building these shitheaps on trailers comes home to roost

Love your guys' videos!I'm doing up an old caravan and getting so many tips,so thank you!loving Jack and Megan too 😊

Vid is great, sound is fine (in fact better than fine tbh) keep up the good work and great content - hands down the best van vids on the tube.

Ha ha 10 fingers You mean 8 fingers and two thumbs 👍

Nice silicon job guys! 😂😂 never again. Thanks for following along. Hope to see you on the road one day. 👍

Love your channel but can’t watch this build series your Mike don’t work and it terrible

Firstly I'm loving your videos and your rebuild, These videos are just what I needed as I'm about to do the same thing and never done this before ( I've done house Reno's), so your videos are perfect and the only type I could find. So Thank you. P.s. Also wondering what size staples are you finding works the best ??

Shows how crap wooden frame vans are would never have one again

Jack and megan are doing an awsum job

Erin the tradie

This is awesome to watch, a job most ppl are terrified to tackle. Great to see the whole family getting involved too. Looking forward to the finished project. Great work so far !

Best line of the episode… “How many is a million?” Answer… “one and six zeroes”, then Erin’s face 😂

Great progress. Glad I have a composite caravan but interesting to see how the timber framed ones are made.

What an awsome team, it looks good and sealing the meranti is a great idea.

Another great video only one mention of you building caravans come on we need more 😂😂😂

Well I thought we were going to go one episode without hearing that you once built caravans but no lol......

Such a lovely down to earth couple.

Loved watching Erin working on the Ozito saw. I think they're called multi tools, but to me that's a leatherman... Should be called a Wiggle saw!

It's fantastic when a plan comes together well done looking good

Wow! We are so impressed with each of your videos Alex, Erin, Bella and Toby. It's so good watching you step by step while you do life as a family. Come on Bertha ... I personally love the way you think Alex ... The awesome part is you solve problems and you've got the skills to boot and you are both an incredible husband and wife team. Well done!!!

Looking good 👍👍👍

it is so funny that you mentioned Jack and Meagan and then you did a "Jack" when you got the wrong staples 🤣🤣🤣
