This should be easy right? WRONG! DIY Caravan Repair/Renovation

[@Mark_Chapman_AU]

“I used to build Caravans” needs to be on a shirt or a hat 😂😂

[@TWOMOODLES]

I agree 😆 “Did I tell you I used to build carvavans” shirts 😆🤣

[@kevinryan7649]

100% needs to be on your merch

[@toesuptravelling]

😂😂

[@nowornever_aus]

Sounds like we have to do this!

[@mindyedwards7576]

For the rectangular sticker on the back, you need a big one with Now or never with all your KZbin details, so you can grab some new fans whilst driving, and add your slogan, I used to build caravans :)

[@nowornever_aus]

That would be awesome! 🙌🏼

[@NotYourAveargeAlien]

Cut a Coat hanger straiten and make a small hook on one end, poke in twist , have that wire out in no-time

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@A-contented-Aussie-life]

I love you saying it. It's your catch cry now. I love it even more when Erin does the built caravan count. It's your thing own it.

[@nowornever_aus]

😂 I think it’s going to stick

[@A-contented-Aussie-life]

@@nowornever_aus very much hope so, it's up there with dad jokes😉

[@jie000]

Great vid, I look forward to seeing some "I used to build caravans!" merch shirts

[@nowornever_aus]

I think we’ll have to do it!

[@davidroulston5473]

Use black 12mm pipes to replace plumbing as it is uv stabilized, run 6 inch cable tray to run pipe and cables for ease of access. Cover with shade cloth to reduce damage from rocks

[@waynegveric2057]

You can actually get cable tray lid

[@davidroulston5473]

Shade cloth doesn’t hold water and is easier to see if you have a leak and doesn’t need fixing with screws to prevent it falling off

[@WildPadburys]

It's just not a build series video without Alex telling us that he used to build caravans! 😂😂

[@nowornever_aus]

🤣🤣 true!

[@RaymondSommers-q3q]

You two are the funniest and most informative people good on you two 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you! 😁🙌🏼

[@grahamwood9842]

[@lindaarmiger217]

Hey Alex, did you used to build caravans!!!!!! Agree - you need to do a t-shirt with that. Erin needs one for caravan reno apprentice #1. Bertha is shining

[@nowornever_aus]

Looking like we might have to! 😂

[@nowornever_aus]

It might have to be done!

[@richardrhodes6259]

Looks great maybe use those cabinet push plugs from Bunnings come in white for the holes😎

[@nowornever_aus]

Good idea 👍🏻

[@neilthorman3646]

Hi guys. I picked a some great tips in this one , it’s good to know that you used to build caravans. Thanks

[@nowornever_aus]

Glad to hear! 🙌🏼

[@RaymondSommers-q3q]

Definitely want a I used to build caravan tee shirt

[@nowornever_aus]

😂looks like we’ll have to do some!

[@georgewinters3191]

Tonight you lit up my life…. Great job , like those lights that can change to amber, going to have a look for our van 😊👍

They are great hey! Cheers!

Looking like a new van. Great to see the family involved.

Looking so good team. I was laughing with Leisa when you first installed the awning lights saying there is no way you will reach them 🤣😂

Safe to say i now tune in to check if he says "i used to build caravans" each week hahaha

😂🤣

[@100crzAdventures]

Keep up the I used to build caravans we turned it into a drinking game

[@nowornever_aus]

That’s dangerous! 🥴 🍻

[@diannehavelberg5875]

Well done she's looking good another great video

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@Blackstump60]

Being an electrician I always had a steel coat hanger to hook wires out of walls.

[@nowornever_aus]

Handy tool!

[@getawayteardropcampers]

Looks great

[@nowornever_aus]

🙌🏼

[@theadmiral7726]

Don't forget the do not overtake sticker...it will save you possible fines if you go over roundabouts or when turning left etc, you should know as you built caravans

[@nowornever_aus]

Yes, I’ll have to look up the current laws 👍🏻

[@BJKAdventures22]

We noticed you didn't say it last week, glad it's back 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

🙌🏼

[@Bradp72]

Awesome job guys, loving this series!

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers mate!

[@kevinryan7649]

The sticker on the rear should say I used to build caravans hahah

[@nowornever_aus]

🤣

[@judithtaylor6916]

Looks like a new Van. ❤ What do you want on the sticker on the back? Hubby does Vinyl stickers. But dont choose a jPEg image as too hard to break down to print. And make sure not copyright.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks! Shoot us an email [e-mail] with some more info 🙌🏼

[@paultabone2010]

Great Episode For the light get a dowel and put a piece of tape with a piece of leather on the end and change the lights to yellow.😊 Easy. Love the caravan face lift.👏. Have a great week 🍺🍺🍷🍷

[@nowornever_aus]

Top idea! Thanks 😁

[@davetunbridge6637]

Fishing hook with a small sinker and some line would probably have “ fished “ that wire out. 20/20 hindsight is wonderful 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

🙌🏼

[@kristinaobst15]

Just a thought if you haven't organized anything yet.......for the back of the van. See if you can get a decal made up like the grey strip along the side, with the black line and Daydream wording 🤔

[@nowornever_aus]

Too idea!

[@spageedie69]

We enjoy watching your videos, give me inspiration for our videos. Hopefully, we'll meet at a camp one day

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@rank69]

Hi Alex, Re the dust reduction fan you fitted before your last trip, how did it go, what was the brand please

[@nowornever_aus]

It’s great! Love using it day to day as a normal fan as well. You can get them from here www.cgearmats.com/product/dust-suppression/74?cs=true&cst=custom

[@terrystewart2326]

A toy light saber for the button to change the light color.

[@nowornever_aus]

Haha yes that would work!

[@shaynocrypto9113]

I think if you spray paint the mags on the caravan black would look more modern what do you think.

[@nowornever_aus]

Yes I think that would look great!

[@harleyboo6951]

Are you guys having a competition with Jack & Megan to see who takes the longest to get there caravan back on the road.😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Seems like it!! 🤣

[@noelaird3273]

Ok maybe I'm old and a bit senile but where can I get those lights from ?? I tried googling it and couldn't find them.

[@nowornever_aus]

We got them from here 👍🏻 traaustralia.com.au/

[@rickwood8719]

For those that are not aware Alex used to build Caravans... 🤣🤣🤣

[@nowornever_aus]

🤣😆

[@anzac-chaplaincy]

Merch Shirt Idea... Front of T Shirt - "I used to Build Caravans." Back of T Shirt - "I Renovated Bertha." - On front of Cap "Build or Renovate - Now or Never. As Influencers I believe you start a trend for all types of quotes. Grey Nomads "I used to think I was invincible." Well done guys. Proud of you both!!!! Bertha is looking beautiful.

[@nowornever_aus]

Love it! Thanks so much! 😁

[@stuartkcalvin]

06:25 do you think that you should've put a grommet in hole?

[@smurfzilla5756]

I only watched to hear he use to build caravans and the yellow and red writting lol.

[@nowornever_aus]

😂

[@adrianpierce511]

Guys, firstly great work. Really enjoy your content. Secondly "I used to build caravans." Must stay. It is a quirk that only you can do and its a bit of fun. Isn't that what it's all about. Maybe when you meet up with other creators and camp mates you can film shaking their hand and introducing yourself followed by "I used to build caravans" and film their reactions. 😂. Third and final thing, keep up the good work and keep enjoying your time.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks so much!

[@paulhardie9450]

Yes we know ya used to Build Caravans but now ya tow and own one 🤪🤪🤪 and still repair-em lol

[@nowornever_aus]

😂

[@waynegveric2057]

Ipad stylus taoed to one of those extendy car antenna type picker upper / back scratcher thingos to change the colour of the lights (if that makes any sense) 😂

[@nowornever_aus]

That would work great!

[@TerryCassar]

Drill a hole straight through light hole and there

[@bjgtrev1970]

I know this is a big ask do you have a build on high pressure water connection to the vans water supply.

[@nowornever_aus]

No we don’t sorry, that part was all working fine so no need for us to change it

[@grjh58]

If only Erin had a job previously building caravans you would have completed this in 1/2 the time 😂😂😂

[@nowornever_aus]

🤣 love it!

[@UncleDobby]

Hey Alex. You’ve probably already. Found out by now, I installed the same lights before I discovered it too… They require a 12V supply AND you can only turn them on via the button on the light. That is, they are not suited to remotely switching them from an existing light switch. And where you’ve mounted them, you won’t be able to reach them. I remounted mine down lower so that we can reach them from the ground.

[@nowornever_aus]

Yes it was a bit of a compromise without struggling to run a heap of next wiring internally to have it switched from inside

[@UncleDobby]

@@nowornever_aus I made that comment before watching to the end where you tested them. They seem to have altered the design since I bought mine because when I turned them on from inside - nothing happened. Hence my comment. It’s good they’ve changed the design. Ours will not turn on by any means other than the touch button on the lights. I’m an electrician. Felt I needed to add that.

[@nowornever_aus]

@UncleDobby much appreciated mate! I’m glad they’ve updated them because if ours were like yours we would really struggle

[@kevinryan7649]

Don’t worry every time I just said it in my mind “I built caravans”. I said it for you hahahaha

[@nowornever_aus]

😂 that’s great!

[@darrylthomson5638]

Hi Alex and Erin. Maybe use the stickers on the back of the van that say "Don't overtake turning vehicle" might cover your old holes. Love the job you guys are doing on the van reno,

[@nowornever_aus]

That’s a great idea!

[@mrsshs3264]

Hey Alex, did you used to build caravans?

[@nowornever_aus]

What makes you ask? 😂

[@loustgeorge6231]

Those are called “solder sticks” makes it easy,

[@nowornever_aus]

👍🏻

[@aaronhunter7062]

Where did u get the lights from

[@nowornever_aus]

traaustralia.com.au/ 👍🏻

[@marielong8496]

Ummm will you be able to reach the switch? Or are they done via remote?

[@nowornever_aus]

It will be a struggle! 😂

Don't think of it as losing your mic audio, think of it as an opportunity to practice doing voiceovers 😁

[@gonegliding2966]

Rivnuts for securing clearance and tail lights. No more stripped out, dodgy earthed self tapping screws. Just sayin'

[@nowornever_aus]

Good idea, I’d just have to see how rivets go securing to such thin metal 👍🏻

[@gonegliding2966]

​@@nowornever_aus I put them in my van where ever I've had self tapping screws. Rivnuts grab well and no further problems with earthing or screws stripping out.

[@The1southampton]

When you built caravans, did you come home and say... I build caravans?

[@nowornever_aus]

😆🤣

[@garyboekbinder9169]

A shirt r=stick with a rubber foot to poke that outside light to change colour, Huh! May be 😶

[@nowornever_aus]

Great idea!

[@Relaxingkiwi]

How come you don’t build caravans for your job??

[@nowornever_aus]

I’d love to build my own but big $$ that we don’t have!
