Mouldy £1000 Motorhome Bedroom Gets Ripped Out

[@Gary-r9e]

Be a great bed space, when done..

[@UrbanVanlife]

Not all that comfortable if you don’t like small spaces but okay for one person!

[@Gary-r9e]

Not treating the wall/board, to stop any possible chance of the damp coming through!😊

[@UrbanVanlife]

We live and learn!

[@KevinJones-bt7ib]

The way you have decorated it, it gives a look like you're in a home, rather than a Van, does look a nice space 👍

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yer Emma wanted like a little cottage feel . Rather than clinical motorhome . Shes got a good eye for this kind of thing

[@denisecafferky2248]

Oh Neil. What a palaver getting the bed set up 😂. Van looks beautiful

[@UrbanVanlife]

Oh Denise that dam thing was a bloody pain honestly it was a job for a much smaller person defo not a Neil

[@dougquaid]

Must be over the £500 budget by now, Neil and Emma?

[@UrbanVanlife]

Not going to lie, Emma started off well keeping track of everything but even she doesn’t know where we are at this week, time to get the calculations done!

Guys the inside looks amazing, Emma has a great eye for design( u too Neil) can I just say with the inside looking amazing you can't just settle on the outside, you have to go all in, it would be a shame not to

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yer that’s going to be the next job is do some thing with the outer . We are still thinking plain tho to be honest kind of like nothing to look at untill you get inside if ya get me

[@robertcanning1888]

Before you 2 worked youre magic. That bed area reminded me of digs in blackpool years ago. Youve made a brilliant job. No mention of sows ear 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

lol yer Iv seen a few places like that mate

[@Motormad196]

What you two have achieved with that van is amazing! Neil unwrapping the mattress was hilarious, I haven’t laughed so much in yonks! Thankyou for another brilliant video.

Doug just looks.amazing so much effort put in and it was all worth it

[@UrbanVanlife]

Couldn’t agree more . He’s looking like a propper little camper now

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

cracking job on the overhead bed Neil and Emma. It looks fab now and Dough is really coming on. Not gonna lie though, I wanted to laugh at you struggling with the duvet cover but honestly.....its my absolute worst hate ever ( apart from spagetti......dont ask lol) I just detest changing duvet covers LOL.... Loving the new floor. The whole van is now looking stand out. Its brill to see an old van that was unloved find his glory again and be loved and used once more. I'll look forward to seeing your trip to Angelsey. Much respect- Kenny

[@UrbanVanlife]

Cheers Kenny . It’s nice to see some thing that would have probably ended up on the scrap heap get a new lease of life . And we are really enjoying working on him as well . Few more jobs to do but we have loads of time

Best job when it shows your hard work ..... SO .... How's the budget looking ....😮😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

Think we are over not by a massive amount but once finished probably a couple of hundred over

[@robinfuller747]

Little tip for future. PVA. The back of the wall boards..and the old timber....also remember bucket of hot water soak any mastic or silicone... Easy to apply and clean down...also idl tape for awnings to joints Windows... Especially for sky light....which probs is what's leaking and awning rails....Easy fixes....

[@UrbanVanlife]

We thought that about the sky light bit Nop not a single bit of damp or wet there at all . It has damage on the passanger side which is where the water was coming in . And the same kind of damage on the roof on the driver side . All fixed sealed and not leaking any more . Thanks fully !! Well hopefully

[@30DayReviews]

your temperary light is geniouse!! i just got some of those clips I think they are going to come in real handy when I rewire the trailer. its looking good!

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yer them wago clips are super cool and they have been around for a while as well . There so Sam good arnt they

How do you keep motorhome mould free in the first place? Wondering what the magic formula to stopping mould is 😂
