Binge watch completed! Ha... this is looking awesome you guys are amazing! Hit the dark bell and your skills are impressive (wish we had them and the tools! Ha) Keep it up! Everything look like it is going to my high quality and luxurious!!!

[@OverlandingSophia]

Wahoo thanks for all the love and the comments guys, much appreciated. It's great to have you on board! We're hoping she'll be very comfortable to live in, at least 😋

[@JUSTINANDCHRISTINA]

Overlanding Sophia oh we definitely think so! ;-)

[@aliylmaz8278]

The work you've done since the first chapter is amazing.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks so much Ali! It seems like a different lifetime now!

[@angelamouland8012]

I came across you guys about three days ago and have binge watched your videos. They're so well done. I watched your most recent videos first and now going through the build. Having seen what you're up to now, it's great to go back and see how Sophia started life.

[@markplenty2631]

Do love the idea of the fixed bed, nothing worse than trying to make it repeatedly.. like the layout, gotta day guys, it’s an impressive build! 👍

[@loulou-ut1gg]

I’m binge watching all of your series right now you both seem so nice! Ta the beginning I got an ad of how to change a van into a camper 😂❤️

[@ThePolleys]

Wow, things are really coming along now. So excited to see the next stage 🙌🏻 Loving the layout.... ☺️

[@OverlandingSophia]

I know right?! It's really starting to seem real 🙂

[@hairyvagrant3281]

Man you guys are smashing it love the layout big hugs Mr Hairy x

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thank you! Hope your build is coming on well :D

[@brettmanvalleyvan]

Eye spy with my little eye something beginning 2h 😂 great video guys you really put a good vlog together 👍, Ben, Ben, Ben bach 👏👏👏👏👏👏 you should be proud of your carpentry I am 😉. Your van is coming on leaps and bounds guys 👍 love the layout we know she's going to look beautiful 👍 hope the weather holds for us all xxx

[@OverlandingSophia]

Haha a keen eye! Getting lots of use out of those pencils already. I get told off if I bring Ben a different one 😅He's done so well on the carpentry, I'm proud of him too! Thanks for the kind words, yes, here's to some dry weather for us all! xx

[@paulsmart7564]

Just watched the first 8 or 9 videos. You guys are doing a great job. I know how hard it is. I have converted a VW t5. That is now for sale, I’m moving up to a VW crafter. Keep the vids coming. Well done.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks Paul, I've had VWs in the past and they are great vans, best of luck converting the crafter!

[@mihaelacalin8651]

Hi, your videos are super helpful! How come you used pocket holes for the bedframe joinery and normal screws for the kitchen cupboards?

[@OverlandingSophia]

We used pocket holes for building the frame of both the bed and kitchen. We don't need to use them for the kitchen cupboards themselves 👍

[@dianeparkin1868]

Loving the build. We are just starting on our 2nd van with a fixed bed this time. What height , width have you done you bed and also your seating? Can't wait to see the finished result.

[@spectre-z]

How old was your van when you bought it? Also mileage and condition. I am a bit confused and don't know how to find the right one

[@rachelemery]

My mother keeps asking me where you got your London T-shirt from because she wants one

[@OverlandingSophia]

Hey Rachel! I think it's an old one from Primark 😊

[@emilywhite8169]

Hi Guys, how long is the your bed? It looks like plenty of room but presume it’s not full length?

[@OverlandingSophia]

Hi Emily, the bed is 6ft long 😊

[@cjmilton224]

hey guys, what type of wood (is it pine? thickness?) did you use for your bed frame please? thanks!

[@OverlandingSophia]

Hey, we used 2x2" pine timber 👍

[@DavidHaney1]

❤ GR8 VID ~ LOVED IT ❤ Binge watching all of the videos take awhile ~ I got a cooler filled with beer on ICE and a bottle of tequila ~ I can do this .. HAHA ❤

[@OverlandingSophia]

It's taking us down memory lane seeing all your comments on our old videos! You must be almost finished by now?!

[@DavidHaney1]

@@OverlandingSophia I'm getting close but I keep watching a few a couple of times because they're so good. I'm catching all the back stories, like when River was a pup, and the anguish you went thru deciding to adopt Scout, and the tattoos you got, and the nose piercing, but the best is watching Ben figure out shit .. he's always positive. and makes it happen. Watching Ben all covered in dirt trying to figure out what's wrong with Sophie's brakes when we first met is how he always is in the videos. He's like my Michael (son), always able to build and fix anything. The world needs more Ben's and Michael's .. I have so many channels I love but you and Ben are now my favorite. Thank you for making a 72 yr old man a very happy guy ❤

[@grange247]

Got to ask this, but where has Ben lived? His accent seems familar ? I won't say where I think he's from case I'm seriously wrong.... interesting to know where????

[@scaramanga6702]

Здравствуйте. Если не трудно сделайте пожалуйста русские субтитры.

[@roachy80]

Your work on this is outstanding but please when you’ve finished take it to a weighbridge and find out how much over weight you are

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks for asking (and the kind words), but I don't think we'll be overweight by the end. We had her weighed a couple of weeks ago and we still have plenty to play with.

[@roachy80]

In that case keep up the good work, but watch the weight!!

[@OverlandingSophia]

@@roachy80 Hey, curious as to why you think we'd be overweight?
