[@pm1104]

Omg ....mr diy ....well done .....it’s coming along nicely!

[@RABIDJOCK]

We tip paul.. Before you mastic put some tape 2 or 3 mm from edge. Mastic up and remove immediately. A trick used all the time on boats for a neat finish..

[@peterpurshouse4469]

Excellent video's. A really interesting project that you and Jo. Have took on.

[@rejects101]

Once again, great job Paul!

[@stevedon76]

Loving these Paul. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@philferguson7469]

How odd just as I was about to suggest you use insulated connections next time in the comments.... the black tape appeared.... lesson learned 😒 take care and keep up the good work.

[@MrSiegenfeldt]

I am a fan of the fan in the van

[@paulalbietz9719]

Great work Paul. I am enjoying these videos.

[@indochinajames3372]

Cheers Paul, ta da.

[@daveh5154]

Champion result Paul....good on ya. Haven't been as nervous watching you as I was since I watched Steve McQueen trying to outrun the Germans in his efforts to jump the fence on his motorcycle into Switzerland...!!

[@michaelsutherland4656]

Great vid. Out of your 100,000 subscribers(👏👏) I bet that's your number 1 FAN🌀 🏆"Dose it get any cooler than that". 😉 Ps that first cut💩🙈

[@scotspie501douglas7]

well done as always scary tryin something new

[@AlanNFuller]

Belated congratulations Paul on making 100K subscribers. Great Job

[@nigelshort8669]

Nice job. One tip I picked up on 12v electrics is cut one cable 20mm longer than the other this will offset your crimps and avoid shorts. Waiting for next vlog.

[@iantomac]

....and the rest is easy!!! Well done, Sir!!!

[@CORNDOGGY111]

Congrats on 100k

[@jimbrewer2730]

Looking forward to the next one 👍

[@SNAPMounts]

I spy the SNAP Mount! Good stuff Paul! Looks like it is helping you capture your projects! Nice work!

[@PaulMessner]

Yes! Thank you! Gonna be showing it off some more in future videos. very handy kit.

[@GMBasix]

Tip for drilling into metal: quick tap with a centre punch creates a dimple to stop the drill bit wandering.

[@Chucky-b7v]

G'day Paul, fantastic job once again mate. I don't think I would be game enough to have a go at it lol. Cheers from Down Under.

[@alexanderwilson6110]

I love watching people get up and give it a go. And not just that, having the balls to film it and share it with us all is fantastic. I applaud you. Keep going.

[@brixham20]

Congratulations Paul on your 100,000 subs, well deserved. 👍 Great video series regards the van. 👌

[@shutterupphotography295]

i would buy one off you....well done.

[@paulmorgan3434]

Hi Paul Excellent what your doing to convert your van Very interesting as well Well done so far

[@jonelson1983]

Good job!

[@AndreasHontzia]

13:10 Sounds like a hell of a turbine! Nice. So you can blast out hot air fast.

[@verykeen2please]

FANtastic

[@Seamus3051]

Fine job mate; you're a true craftsman...Cheers

[@sg7392]

Get up on the ladder and give it a good spray with the hose especially at the leading edge to simulate driving while it is raining then recheck for leaks.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Red to Red, Black to Black and Blue to......... :) Coming along well and look forward to see the finished project. Atb

[@liveloud9894]

[@fezfez3934]

Congrats on the 100k

[@nickhoward9343]

Good job done

[@andrewmoseley-packer5132]

Brilliant job guys and congrats on the 100k subscribers!

[@Jones-xx2gc]

It takes a bit of bottle to start cutting up a van to fit parts that you have no experience in doing. Hat's off to you. The 11 thumbs down viewers at the time of watching this would be better giving you the benefit of their vast knowledge really.

[@rob4095]

Fantastic job! Giving me ideas 😄

[@RyanKeane9]

Blimey that was a bravery test Paul! Excellent work mate👍🏻

[@WildCampingIreland]

Another great Video Paul , you made it look easy , it on my and so many others people's bucket list I'm sure , so I'll be able to view them all again when I eventually get my baby 🙏 Thanks again for the content 👍 ps your wife Joe is a sweetheart 💚

[@MarvinofMars]

Very pleasing watching somone worthy of a Camper creating there own. Great the you have served your time as a true wild camper first. By creating your own camper you will far more attachment to the Camper. Greater sense of achievement. Keep going👍

[@alanlee2751]

Well done Paul ! ( You're a braver man than me - cutting a hole in the roof isn't for the faint-hearted )

[@DaveDoesOutdoors]

Getting there ! Well done - atb 👍🏽

[@GraysOutdoors]

Well done Paul. I had to drill through my canoe to fit lacing. I know how u felt.

[@oddmanout98]

Looking good Paul. I was just saying to my wife that I would have used insulated connectors and the you explained how you had a little issue with the connectors. Well done though, this turning out really well.

[@piggymito]

Mint job that dude! Loving watching your conference grow!

[@Daydreameruk]

Me too, it’s just soaring now. Ace to see.

[@TheGrumpyExplorer]

Congrats on 100.000 subscribers. Well deserved.

[@crashesnfails]

[@ipaales7552]

Congratulations paul/Jo on 100,000 subs that's Sunderlands stadium filled twice and more well deserved marra's all the best stay safe #leavenotrace 👍🏕️

[@PaulMessner]

Thanks buddy. I've been in the Stadium of Light when its full. Noisy and unforgiving if you're having a bad day 😂. Take care

[@nigelmitchell5726]

Well done , looks a great job done Paul .

[@Tonywozere99]

You got yourself a tyre pressure gauge for all that motoring? Save yourself stress paying at petrol stations. Best sticker on a van seen, "Adventure before dementia" lol

[@onlycompetitions5083]

That was great! It almost looked like you knew what you were doing.

[@jorvikoutdoors]

Its a hell 9f a thing taking a saw to the van isn't it mate, I disappeared while my mates did it for me otherwise I'd have been a nervous wreck 😁😁...its looking awesome though mate nice one, atb Lee

[@benny_mc]

Congratulations on the 100k Paul!

[@jim_the_gunn6577]

I am.loving watching you build mate and yours and Jo's pics on the old IG

[@kieronstevens3450]

Congratulations on 100k subscribers. Keep up the great work and videos. The van is coming on and looking Good.👍

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Congratulations on your 100k subscribers. And congratulations on cutting that roof; not an easy task. 👍

[@cathygibbons1743]

I just love it Paul! Please keep telling us what you’re doing with Ronnie, and keeping it real.

[@rosanneennis725]

If you dont try you will never know what you can do. I can see you doing another one after this his and hers, campers well done guys

[@nigelturpin3533]

Hurrah! Great work...use higher fan power settings frugally for obvious reasons!! The vent on its own will be super useful...

[@maurice5992]

Totally fascinating watch...your camper van conversion journey has me hooked. Look forward to the next installment.

[@CorvoFG]

Sawing and drilling.. Oh how the neighbours must love you, Paul!

[@distortedreality4603]

Congratulations on 100k ! Well deserved 👏

[@stephenscrutton2061]

Well in Paul on reaching the 100k you deserve it mate.. And cuppa Jo. Enjoy watching all your vids. Roll on bk to camping days..

[@outdoorelement]

Fantastic! I'd love if you can report back in a couple of months driving. I want to do this to my van. Thanks for giving me the confidence that I can do this myself.

[@joeysd8489]

Well done on 100k messner

[@paulrichardson3886]

Best thing on KZbin right now. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@clactonmassive]

Awesome job 👍. Cutting holes in the roof is a massive brown trouser moment. I bet the brown eye was winking !

[@robertbransby]

Top job Paul, coming together well 👍👍

[@edwardbroomhead4463]

The more you do yourself the more you want to do in future and it all just spirals from there 👍 Loving the series so far 😁

[@MisterTeach]

Brilliant progress, but... 🥽 👍

[@danieltantram82]

Hi Paul just a tip, I would put bug mesh on the Inside and outside of your fan/vent. This make cleaning you fan in the future a hell of a lot easier! Trust me when you start cooking after a year or 2 you will have a banquet of dead I sects in your roof.

[@smithywick]

Great job Paul always scary cutting holes but you did a top job and your confidence is growing by the day mate happy days 👊🚘👊

[@jonmapp6803]

Well done - I'm using your videos to convince the wife that we can do the same 😊

[@keithhedley1392]

Vans coming along nicely you must be pleased with it so far

[@COYSMike]

Good job with the wood covering the number plate to save time in editing!

[@vbrvideoproductions4643]

Congrats Paul on your 100,000 Subs :)

[@Steve-hb4my]

BRAVO!!!

[@BSmith244]

Good choice of fan Paul and fitted like a true professional. I had the Fiamma Turbovent in my old Motorhome and loved it. One tip I will give is to avoid driving with it open. I read that you can do this and as our old van had no air con we tried driving with it partly open but after hearing weird creaking noises from the lid decided it was best not to try again.

[@grahamscothern4319]

Well Done Paul your doing a great job 👍👍

[@allun13]

Another well done vid Paul. Thank You.

[@parkin8595]

Some nervous moments, nothing worse than putting holes in things if you get it wrong. Great job Paul, the van is coming along nicely. 👍

[@AdventuRemedy]

Good effort, you did really well with installing the roof fan. I’m currently building a camping trailer and will be doing exactly the same soon... bit daunting. 🤞

[@andrewhowie4217]

Something therapeutic about watching you install that fan...not sure it would be therapeutic if I had to do it lol! You made it look easy, super job, can't wait to watch your van journeys #VanLife

[@chrisarnold4709]

Well done, bet u r so chuffed with the progress you're making and the skills you're learning! Fantastic experience !

[@SweeneyTTodd]

Brilliant and scary at the same time I'd leave the side door a little ajar when cooking or for some extra ventilation when needed , but not as good as that Motor Vent Excellent Video

[@happysporran]

100k....brilliant, congratulations (nice to see those glimpses of the countryside from the roof)

[@gilljo1]

Cracking job. You got me wanting a van now. Thanks and stay safe.

[@desrynne2720]

And the answer is what Paul

[@Martyn-rn7ec]

Congrats on reaching the 100k subs. Maybe now you can kick the day job and do what makes you a happy chappy. Super that the fan fitting when smoothly, well done to you both.

[@chrish3305]

Great job Paul and Jo! Impressive work

[@SwedishGlobetrotter]

Congratulations for your 100 000 subs. You are worth everyone of them, Keep it going.

[@charlottelancashire8490]

You broke the cardinal sin!!! Measure once cut twice

[@gailrogers3046]

Congratulations on a very well deserved 100.000 subs Mr Messner. Great to see after watching the live stream last night. Thanks for all you do for the outdoor community. A big hello to Jo too 🙌🙌🤩

[@Corcioch]

100,000!! Delighted for you Paul, and Jo for her contribution. Having a few Brew's to celebrate I'd imagine. Onwards and Upwards. 200,000 next.

[@musicman4164]

Love the fact that the H and S guy forgot to insulate the bare metal connectors before plugging in. 😆 🤣 😂 congrats on reaching the big 100k mate, very well deserved.

[@apollo12329]

Brilliant Paul, if anything it gives you more confidence to tackle more difficult jobs. Well done, exciting stuff buddy.

[@slazbury15]

100k smashed it.👍
