You have done an amazing job on the van. Just love how you both work together. You are meant for each other.

[@mikeleake9488]

If it’s good enough for Alan…!

[@brain8484]

should hang a hammock type thing for Alan or a sleeping shelf

[@Jemma.and.Ganymede]

The tiles look amazing! I need to get some tilling for Ganymede. Loving that “Ginger” is still determined to get to Alan!

[@fredsimmons2793]

In that space where the window is not going in you should have a picture of you big boats put there.Your tile Emily was very good.

[@laurensmith485]

Just Brilliant !😄love the van,the tiles look amazing Emily can’t wait to see you both cook in there on your journeys & use everything,I’m excited to see all the little bits finished next week,well done all of you 🫶🏻

[@Angel-hd2rs]

I absolutely love the tile! You're so right about the paint though, looks like what you'd find in the diaper or nappy of a newborn. Emily, you look so much happier since your viewer brought you advice and "stuff". Yay! I'm new here and think Bemily would be a great name for you two. 😘 Very attractive van, love all the colors! Can't wait to follow you guys on youtube! Bon voyage!

[@rustyknight6190]

Just want to say/remind you, this is YOUR adventure, we're just lucky enough to be along for the ride. The only consideration you need to make is, is it right for you? If you answer yes, then nothing else matters! All four of you are amazing (yes, I'm including your dad!) and the van looks amazing. This is coming from some one who's wife puts the emergency department on standby any time I get out the power drill, so you can only imagine how amazed we are a the work you've done in such a short period of time! To all the "criticism" (I'm sure it's meant to be positive), my daughter says, "shake it off, shake it off" ... yes that's a pop reference 😉

[@susanlord3299]

You must be so proud of what you have created. It looks fabulous, cosy and comfortable. Enjoy your trip and all your hard work over the last few weeks. Looking forward to following your next adventure , Italy is beautiful especially Venice, a pity there are no vehicles allowed in, but go anyway.😀 Travel safely.

[@mishkawp8200]

Great job guys. As long as it is what you like and need then it doesn’t matter whether anyone else likes it…well, other than Alan of course! Good luck on your trip. Hope it goes smoothly. Look after yourselves. 😊

[@shanehumberstone5262]

I’d be happy with it too,it’s fantastic and can only get better as you go along

[@tonydalton6756]

You've done a really good job guys. The most important thing is how comfy it is & how you feel about it. I think I'd be tempted to try living in it for a week at home before setting off to Italy though. That way you can iron things out easier.

[@petewarby7158]

What a nice bloke that plumber was, great to see the effect he had on you both :) Karma. Hopefully good things will come to him :)

[@justineallen2535]

Awesome job, folks! Those tiles - wow! Happy travels 😍

[@jefftewson8798]

Those tiles are mega gorgeous !!!

[@janicecameron3688]

Absolutely love the tiles and everything you've done❤❤❤awsome❤❤❤❤

[@judymurphy3842]

You guys are just great. Love your work and looking forward to traveling with you. What a wonderful man that plumber was coming to give you some tips. How wonderful is that. You did a great job with the tiling Emily. Regards from New Zealand.

[@MelG-ut3hs]

You've done an amazing job. The colours combined with the wood give it the much needed warmth so it doesn't have that white sterile ambulance look. It's very cosy and those tiles are just beautiful. Well done. Looking forward to your Italy trip now.

[@Rachellovescheese]

The van looks amazing. The tiles are beautiful ❤ Big thumbs up to the lovely plumber who helped you & to wild & wonderful Dave! Happy Travels

[@jackiehanning8808]

Love your style...so warm and homely .. Have a great time in Italy..cant wait for videos x

[@pappadonsfishingtrips2709]

Done a great job well done both and great to have a fantastic dad to help you good luck !!

[@dr.chrismort8448]

Well done guys you have worked miracles 👍. Looking forward to your European adventures

[@pattysommers3566]

Outstanding job. I love your tiles.

[@blueman46]

looking really lovely, love the beautiful tiles as well 😃👍🏻

[@bs6281]

Supper job on tiles

[@tessapetters3936]

What an amazing job, well done you guys. I LOVE the tiles. We have some spanish tiles round fireplace, but nothing like as beautiful as those ones. Envy !! Oh and happy travels, take care.

[@neilcollier5040]

Well done, you've done an excellent job and I look forward to following you on your next adventure.

[@quincysnow4381]

Ohhhh! Love the tiling! Awesome job!!!

[@malcolmadams1051]

I would recomend installing some insulation (fire proof material) on the greenish panel.

[@Roo-s_Life]

Wow, wow WOW!! 🤩 You have absolutely SMASHED it! It looks fabulous and you must be thrilled. We are currently renovating a vintage touring caravan and you've inspired me with those gorgeous tiles. Best of luck with your trip. Looking forward to watching your next vlogs 😊 xx

[@nealeburgess6756]

The van looks great. Wish it was mine! I am looking forward to seeing your road trip.

[@margiedavies5243]

I love the tiles!! They are absolutely awesome

[@Donna-rw7by]

Looks great! Love the tile! You work so hard (I kept hoping for a pub break, but that’s just me)! Looking forward to your Italian adventures…I think Ginger wants the go, too! Happy traveling!❤️

[@chrisschembari2486]

16:35 Emily's not just smiling, she's glowing! 👀 23:15 maybe a razor scraper? You're not going to cut a hole in the bulkhead between the cab and the main body? You'll really want that when it's raining hard or cold and you don't want to step outside just to go from front to back.

[@pattichambley2779]

Gorgeous tiles

[@martingibbs9277]

Very much enjoyed the van build, great job. Have a great time in Italy. 😊

[@BoatTime]

well done! 👏🏻 🎉 you’ve smashed it. have the best trip!! 😊

[@anniemac3075]

The alanbenembulance looks perfect, it's exactly you! Well done xx

[@scoobee7064]

Run a scalpel lightly around the edge of the fridge. Just enough to cut the plastic film but even if you go a bit too hard you won't see the cut marks

[@michaelschabow2911]

You both did a great job on that van! Say "hi" to Magic Wave! With love from Southern California!

[@christinedelfino5322]

That looks great, bright and happy❤

[@TheAustinfuller]

Smashing job, better than the professionals.

[@briankelly7121]

What good job from brian😊😊 26:57

[@kathtaylor5544]

Well done to you both. Enjoy your travels.

[@rotinkerbell]

Razor blade for the plastic on the fridge. Looks wonderful.

[@janicewawrykow6114]

🎉 Congratulations! I am excited for your trip . And the videos about it.❤

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

It’s yours. Love it and enjoy. Happy for you.

[@AussieWelder]

G'day, I think you guys have done a fantastic job👍 My dog Boofhead and I luv watching and Boofhead esp luv's when he gets to see Alan.

[@LornaT460]

I love your tile skills Emily!

[@danomoto973]

Guys , run a candle along the wood beams of the bed , The wax then helps the slats slide along each other 🤙

[@lizagreen6850]

Happy Adventures Ben and Emily love to Alan xxx

[@Jacqueline-es5yb]

Great job! So happy for you both, drive safely and have a great time xx

[@lacylobdell7455]

So happy that 🤮 paint won’t stay. Reminded me of a baby’s dirty diaper 🤣. LOVE the tiles!

[@NogginsVintage]

Love the tiles

[@JulianMountMusic]

I love what you did with the "No Smoking" sign (although it might not have survived the paint job!) xx

[@raydebbiemcdonald3208]

Good luck you two. Looking forward to coming to Italy with you. 😅

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

You are all so talented. I’d be totally clueless. Happy adventures. Every best wish. ❤

[@nealeburgess6756]

Love the tiles!

[@brucetizzrd883]

Have a great time

[@terryhere3889]

I like the tiles too ❤

[@KarenSFrancis]

Looks great.

[@NatiHerron]

The ambulance was such a good choice, looks awesome! Any other finishing touches you may find treasures along your adventures 😊

[@NeverTwoLateOurJourney]

The van looks amazing enjoy your journey 😊

[@petewarby7158]

Really looking guard forward to the next video, travelling. You lucky souls :)

[@petewarby7158]

I'm going to hand to comment through the video. I LOVE THE TILES!!!

[@johncude3256]

Great job,enjoy your holiday.

[@MrMarcus5191]

Well Done....go and enjoy it!

[@katies9694]

I love the tiles!!

[@winstonsmith8441]

Tile work is terrific! Put some beeswax on the wood bits of the bed where they slide against each other, and it will be very easy to slide the bed frame in and out.

[@michaeltrotman6960]

Looks good but you should have primed under the tiles and if you put candle wax we're under the wood that rubs on other wood it will slide perfectly

[@bettyourcampervan]

Brilliant build! Brilliant video! Brilliant couple ❤

[@brionyhall4250]

Get a hairdryer on the protective peel in the fridge…it’s usually enough to loosen it. Not always, but usually :)

[@robairdmuireadhaigh8177]

Side opposite of hinges, does the side panel screw on. If so pull that panel, slide front panel out, finish peeling and reverse order reinstall. Maybe 4 minutes start to finish. Safe travels.

[@robairdmuireadhaigh8177]

oh and, if you want to change the color that would be the time. An unmounted piece of formica or other material, ? galvanized tin? would substitute nicely.

[@angelamurphy3331]

Just new to your channel. It's amazing and so unique. Love your tiles and colours. I will definitely look forward to catching up with your adventures in Italy. Watching from Dublin. 💚💚😺😺🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀💚💚

[@brianlopez8855]

I would have used a grey grout so it doesnt need cleaning so much. Nice tiling cuts

[@StonedApeAesthetics]

Just bought myself the exact same ambulance! So excited to get started and eventually get to travelling in it! Looks like it’s going to be a lot of work but all in due time💪🏼

[@BenandEmily]

Hope you enjoy it! 😊

[@StonedApeAesthetics]

Going to vlog the whole process under the name Van-Pire Life❤️

[@sccobyste]

Use a small blade on the fridge like the car wrappers do

[@Risingstar0324]

What an awesome wrap to a hectic project. Nice job! Can't wait to see your vlog next week. Travel safely...❤❤❤

[@Wobbz9413]

Great job guys.

[@loraineh59]

[@gerryryan1372]

Ye are doing really well. I can't wait till next week xx

[@alanwoodward69]

Miss your weekly blogs

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Hi Ben & Emily: Emily did a stellar job installing and grouting the gorgeous Spanish tiles. It really pops! And the sink is the piece de resistance! Love the cabinetry and handles, the cladding, and the pops of color around the van. Your bed looks comfy too! Can't wait to see you next week as you begin your journey to Italy. Have a great weekend. Jenny

[@keepingupwiththejoneses06]

Looks awesome love the colour ❤

[@paulbate47]

Ben for such a young person you are a very handy young man

Looking beautiful, well done. Can’t wait to follow along, safe travels ❤

[@sandraveneman6603]

What a great job! Looks so cozy!🥰 Safe travels!

[@alyzanting6325]

Sometimes when things don't work out as planned (window) you will end up finding exactly what will fit your very whimsical colorful rustic style on your new adventure! You've already managed to make a very cozy set up that very much suits your style!

[@philbridgwood6325]

Absolutely fantastic build. Well done.

[@waynepeterson1061]

It's looking great. You both and Dad did a wonderful job. 👍 Love the ceramic tile.

[@renateschreiber4416]

I Like your Van have a good time in Italy😊

[@ytanki]

I wish you a great time on the road❤️

[@robertcummins8990]

Have a great trip .loving your content..

[@markrant1460]

Ben and Emily, Considering your time schedule and the tight space, you have achieved so much in such a short time. Hope you will be able to sit back someday and appreciate what you have done. Emily, you appeared to be more stressed when the two of you took that hike and you had problems with acrophobia. Last week you asked if anyone had any good ideas about cutting the tile where the sink goes. How did you finally cut the tile? The hole is so well done. Mark Alberta, Canada

[@bindatek8801]

As the great Frank sang "I did it my way" - Originality, innovation lives on. I did my van in a similar way, they are our "babies" and suit us fine!! Well done Ben and Emily and have a good trip!! John

[@jacks2222]

Wow I love it!.. Excited for your road trippin'

[@eon498]

All the best for your journey to Italy,,that conversion looks brilliant with thr tiles and cupboard colours I'm amazed at how well it looks,well done,Alan will love it.🎉
