Good idea for extra storage and another excellent vid, came with the ultimate cost though……….the Quiff took a hell of a beating!!🤷‍♂️😜👏👏

[@stephenrussell6074]

Hi Colin Very brave to hand cut all those pieces, glad to see it all turned out so well. Every little addition makes it ever more your van.

You know that lovely carbon coloured quilting on your ceiling..? I just wonder if that fab white cupboard door wouldn't look better...er....well...err....no, forget I said anything...im sure the glaring white looks better, yes... Yes, forget what I said about that lovely carbon quilting... Andy B x

[@daviddring8692]

Oh didn't know about your rear view mirror Colin. Have you ever shown that on your videos. Would be interested in that for mine

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, I don't think I've talked about it much I'll be honest. I did do (very early one, maybe video 2 or 3 in the early days) an install for it. Maybe worth a look :)

[@classic1989mini]

Nice col, when will the van be finished...(Blackpool tower eh?)

[@stevehodder8080]

Top job.👌

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks buddy

[@robinscott8662]

Nice job! Did you do a walkthrough for the storage you built above hob and sink?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks buddy, sadly not. It was a Christmas build i did when I was having time away from KZbin

[@spikedickey5703]

It’s amazing that a bit of carpet can cover a myriad of ugliness!! ( only joking! 😂!) You do well, but for your sake and the sake of your viewers please treat yourself to some basic battery tools, they will transform your life!! Christmas is coming so put the hints in now. Love your work. Greetings from NZ.

[@darrenmclean2711]

Great video m8. You can buy a custom rear barn door waterproof covers for your van and others. I have 2 for both my transit custom and Renault trafic. They do not leak at all and the material is really tough

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

where did you get your traffic ones from Darren?

@@viv-i-vangoesforth uk custom covers on e bay. To be honest there pretty much universal fit across the traffics, transporter and transit custom as I’ve used mine on both vans then bought a second one. They fit really well and tuck above the top door seal and come with a clamps then the water just runs around the gutter and not in the van. There perfect

[@tinadaly4604]

I think I need a bed always made up thinking of selling now 😢

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I agree, it would be the perfect van if the bed was always made up. I'm sure at some point in the future (a long way off for us) we will get a larger van with a fixed bed...

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

That looks ace. Be no good for me though, my mattress is 4 inches and I would 100% crack my head open every time I sat up 😂😂

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha only time will tell if I do the same.... there could be a future video of me ripping it out 🤣🤣

Colin do you have a link to the video where you made the shiplap wall you have your pictures on?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, yes its this one :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaWpgYR_qNp2gpIsi=I930itW6O_5I1wvm

[@jamesmckee2749]

Cheers Colin cost me more bloody money more room for more crap

[@daviddring8692]

Get a lwb Colin. Then you won't need all these extra little cupboards. And don't tell me that you can't park them. Its a load of tosh. Mine is lwb & it's my car as well. I have never had any trouble parking it. NEVER There is so much more room inside 400mm longer. Meaning 400mm base unit lus extra wall unit if needed And 400m extra floor space. Which is very nice especially when bed down

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I'll be honest, if I could go back to when we first bought the van and having seen LWB vans at meet ups, i do wish we'd have gone for a LWB. But I'll stick with my SWB for now until we eventually (a long way off) get a larger van in the future possibly

[@briansweetnam707]

I have one of these shelves and I keep banging my head when I sit up from bed 🙉

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Only time will tell matey 🤣🤣 next week's video might be me ripping it out after banging my head 🤣🤣

[@wayne_morgan]

Don’t forget a packet of pills for the headaches, nothing like a morning bang on the head when you forget about the cupboard being their!

[@juleesadventures7925]

Perfect for pot noodles 🤣

Always more storage needed for those bad boys 🤣🤣

Haha don't come here for technicals 🤣🤣🤣

[@daviddring8692]

It does look nice. But your vision through rear windows is virtually completely blocked

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Very true buddy, but I have a rear view mirror that's has a camera on the outside of the van. So I can still see thankfully
