Van is coming on nicely. Would love more info on the CCTV system, it’s something I’d like on my van.

[@BSmith244]

5 likes so far but no update on the cctv system 😥

[@Adz]

Hi mate, I just wanted to test it properly before recommending it to anyone because I’d hate people to buy something through a link I’ve posted when it may turn out to be a bad product. I’ve only just connected all the different parts like the wifi and a hard drive, so over the next few days I’ll be testing it properly and I’ll talk about it more in my next video and put a link if I recommend it

[@BSmith244]

@@Adz that’s great, cheers!

[@D4VE26]

Adz!!! I'm telling you now!!!! I have seen some impressive pigeons in my time! AND I have seen gazillions of camper layouts and I have got to say your pigeon is the ultimate perfection of them all!!! Proper stealthy but impressive, cosey but secure.. Childs fort/den stroke classy bachelor pad.. I could go on! But well done you!! It's amazing! Can't wait for your travels ahead! ❤

Coming on great Adz, seen the update on Mels channel, could you share what it is, and where you got the material for the ceiling and walls please🤞

[@baldvale5418]

Merry Christmas Adz. You have showed us yourself using your new sink, your new heater, your new sat nat and reverse camera, your new mega light and ace CCTV. You can give the Bog a miss if that's ok, i think we can work that one out ; ) But seriously the van is looking the pups.

[@Adz]

Haha as long as you’re sure, because I was planning an in depth 2 part special on it! 😂 Thanks mate, hope you had a good Christmas!

[@mikestone8096]

Ad what cctv system is it pal ??

[@derektaylor2941]

Dungeness was a major Military area from 1943-1945/6. It was the origin of PLUTO- Pipe Line Under The Ocean (sea!) and supplied fuel to the Allied forces liberating Europe. It also had various observation and listening points for German aircraft. That piece of iron found there looks like it might have been part of a stationary boiler for some infrastructure there, but certainly not from the miniature railway. It's an interesting beach; until quite recently old Military shells (bombs) were regularly washed up there. I found a couple in the mid 1980s.

I had them facing down to heat the floors and worried they’d get too hot. So I asked a few van builders opinions and so far everyone said it’d be fine. So I’m not sure what to do haha. And thank you!

[@wideeye5592]

Little tip for ya, get a single bed size heated blanket from silent night put it on the floor of your van put a rug on top and you have heated floor on the cheap! 😁🤘

[@Adz]

That’s a good idea actually! Although you can get 12v heated floors for pretty cheap. I actually bought one a couple weeks ago but returned it because I don’t think it’s worth the power consumption

[@wideeye5592]

@@Adz yeah 12v ones are ok to put on your lap like a granny 😆 I've got both! 😁👍 You can run 240 from a power bank for those cold mornings, nothing worse than cold feet! 🤘

Coming along great dude! Dont suppose you can remind me what the finish you used on the floor was? After something hard wearing for mine 🤟

Thanks mate! I originally had vinyl but it split so I replaced it with some type of safety floor. Not sure exactly what it is because it was an off cut from someone. But similar to Altro I think

[@chrissaunders88]

Your winter trip to Norway sounds interesting. Looking forwards to it. Have you been briefed about the the automatic toll roads in Norway and the importance of getting yourself an acct and tag for the van before you go??? It’s also a great idea to link your tag to a ferry pass. Saved us loads and loads of money having a pre registered tag and pre paid ferry travel. If you want to know more try a company like Flytpass (roads) and ferryjepass (ferries) We went as far as the Lofoten islands and Senja in 2022 and loved every mile of the dramatic journey. PS take loads and load of food and drink with you as Norway is eye wateringly expensive

Thanks! Yeah I definitely don’t think they’re stealthy still. If I’m ever trying to be stealth I think I’ll just use the heated blanket for the night. But for winter trips like the one I’m about to do, the truma will hopefully be amazing!

[@Adz]

Thanks! And I don’t know what happened to that clip. I’d mentioned it but whilst editing the footage wasn’t there. Also I don’t like to talk about products until they’ve been tested, in case someone buys them based on the fact I’ve installed one, and it’s not very good. But in this case I’ve not tested it. It’s just a separator toilet though
