LOCKDOWN renovations | VAN LIFE UK

[@jonasclay411]

Nice work guys! In ancient Greece they used to swell the wood before using it in their vans so when it shrunk it wasn't too big of an issue.

Thanks, Jonas ❤️

🤞we can all travel again soon...even if it's just within the UK. Scotland would be a really good first trip. I went up between the lockdowns and it's the best time in a van.

[@gabeandpau2243]

Yeah fingers crossed! Scotland is high up on our list as is Wales😊

Great work guys! We can't wait for ours to look like yours in a couple months. We're almost at the cladding stage- it feels like a long time coming!!

[@gabeandpau2243]

When you finally get to the cladding stage is when you start to see the results! Good luck, can't wait to see it finished😊

[@RandyGrace]

[@RC-kh3hz]

Subbed 👌you deserve so many more views

[@gabeandpau2243]

Thank you so much!😍

[@thenoworriesnomad]

Maybe you could of put some insulation behind the clashing on the backdoors...

[@gabeandpau2243]

We do have on one side, but not on the other as we were worried about interfering with the door mechanism

[@SdhMulaiTua]

very inspiring channel 🤗

[@MrChazTV711]

You guys noticing any condensation/wet on the ceiling or sitting on the metal? Cheers

[@gabeandpau2243]

Yep😂 We had to buy a dehumidifier but it's something we definitely want to talk about in the future.

[@3wheelie]

I don’t know the law and regulations for having the gas container without a sealed compartment in the UK but here in Sweden it’s a must and for the safety it’s recommended to have it. I can see you have the vent down to the floor but is it enough?

[@domthompson990]

Hey guys, great video! I just had a question about the cladding you guys used. I have seen some review of cladding online that says they shrink and split the paint. Have you had any experience with this and which shop did you get the cladding from? Dom, UK.

[@gabeandpau2243]

Hey Dom! Thanks for the comment. We got our cladding from Wickes. It's not the strongest wood but it's very flexible and it does the job. After about 6 months there was a little bit of warping which was easily fixed with a couple of screws😁

[@domthompson990]

@@gabeandpau2243 Great! Thank you guys, I really enjoyed the build series and hope to get started on my own asap, just gotta find a van first haha.

[@MarcosSantos-lc2lx]

Hey guys! great content you guys are putting here! I have a question in relation to your insurance. which insurance are you using? I have a full EU drive license and I was planning to go 3/4 months to Europe, but the quotes I am getting are crazy expensive ( 2000£ plus)! Please can you advise me somewhere I should start? Thank you!

[@gabeandpau2243]

Hey Marcos, thanks you :) Have a look at Money Super Market. They often have a good range of quotes. Let us know how you get on :)
