FULL VAN Conversion TIMELAPSE - Luxury DIY VAN BUILD With no experience | Vanlife

Here is our Van conversion timelapse for our VW Crafter van which we bought In June of 2023, we spent 6 months completing the build, with little to no experience of van conversions.
How do you think it turned out ?

You guys rock. To take on a project like this without any experience is truly amazing. We've watched every vlog from beginning to end. Y'all are out there now having fun and it shows in the travel vlogs. Like I said before the true value comes from the joy the two of you have shown in this great accomplishment. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@RHTubeOnYouTube]

Loved this - and I'm amazed that you kept remembering to set up the time-lapse camera whenever you were working on the van. Chuffed that you even managed to include your Aunty B 😁

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandramccrea9787]

Leigh, I know you helped, but Nick is a genius when it comes to renovations. You are BLESSED to have a husband that can fix, renovate, and restore and use tools other than a hammer.😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

❤️❤️

[@Poshbilly1]

I think coming up with ways of dealing with the gaps, edges and fiddly bits impressed me most. Such ingenuity!

[@tallactordude]

It was sort of hypnotic watching this video, and I have to admit I zoned out a few times, but then I had seen pretty much all of this work as you were doing it, so in the long run, I’ve seen pretty much the entire build. It’s an impressive job from start to finish, and it looks really great.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you for watching all these years. Everything we do. It's much appreciated Lane ❤️

[@inkyfingeredcat]

Really great job boys! Well done to both of you xx

Nah, sorry, can't believe you did all that in 18 minutes guys. 😏 Seriously though this is a cracking job which you should be very proud of. IF you go over Dunham Bridge again please let us know as I only live 3 miles away and would love to see Taylor first hand.

[@meganrose95]

I know I've said this a few times but you should be extremely proud of yourselves. Seeing you put in the amount of time and effort over the last year has been incredible to watch. As a friend and someone who has seen Taylor in person also, I am so proud. You have accomplished something that not a lot of people could ever do, I certainly couldn't. Enjoy making memories with Taylor, knowing that it's all paid off. ✨❤️
