We would love to hear your name suggestions for our van! :) Just comment with your name idea and subscribe, we will send the winner a print from our adventures in Australia! Thank you :)

[@irenemcnally1398]

It looks amazing very interesting! What about Ruby

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you!! Ooh I do quite like that name. We'll keep that as a contender for sure!

[@kevcargill2843]

Ruby is good, just spell it differently to tie in with your Australian adventure" RooBee".

Clifford! 😄

[@sophiemarcaurele]

Call her Crimsom Flower 🌺 or Scarlet! 🤔🤗

[@Julie-qe5hy]

As you have a big red van, perhaps you could call him Clifford as in Clifford the Big Red Dog. During lockdown in UK I've been obsessed watching vanlife videos and stumbled across you 👍🙂

[@OurWildHorizons]

That was Jake's initial thought for a name too! I quite like it! We'll keep it in mind for sure. I hope all the van life videos have inspired you. Thanks for watching our video!

[@itsfayonthefly1798]

OMG I love how conscious you were with this build... all your recycled items, the water pump so key for being a more conscious water consumer. and I love the copper accents. Great job on the build!

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you!! We wanted to keep it as eco as possible and glad you noticed 😊☺️

[@awesomenesschanel]

Just out of interest. If you were trying to be eco friendly while building this then why did you use foam insulation? Out of everything you could have done while building not using foam would have had the biggest effect on the carbon produced in the process. There are plenty of eco friendly alternatives than foam such as cork granules (for the floor) and plastic wool (made out of recycled plastic bottles for the walls and ceiling).

[@dianeibsen5994]

Hi guys, amazing van thanks for sharing! We are converting one at the moment and we're wondering what you use for cooking as we couldn't see a gas hob in your tour? Thanks!

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you for watching!! We use a portable camping stove, one of the ones where you just put a gas canister/cartridge into the side. It's more expensive on gas but we like the flexibility of being able to cook on each side or outside if the wind is calm enough! 🙂

[@nightwolf1592]

Absolutely beautiful van build, love the practical, simple approach whilst also making it so attractive. My partner and myself have decided that this year we want to build our own camper and then stumbled across your channel. Brilliant content. Your a lovely couple, so open and happy to help. Sounds like you have great families too. So far I’ve only converted a Berlingo MPV into a weekend camper so exciting times ahead. Strangely I’ve got the same map lights you’ve have. The artist who makes them has a Berlingo camper which was the inspiration for mine. Strange how things work out 😊

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you so much for watching our video. We’re really glad that you enjoyed it. That’s more than just a coincidence because the person who made those fairy lights is my Mum and yes she showed her berlingo camper car on KZbin! What a wonderful coincidence! I can’t wait to show my mum this comment 😃

Thank you! We love seeing your name pop up on all our videos, you always write such a wonderful comment 😊 Those two storage areas that we have one each of, fit our clothes too!

Thanks for the name suggestions too 😊

@@OurWildHorizons dito- warms my heart when i see you in my inbox-with new video ;) im sooo impressed for clothes storage, my space in each van has gotten bigger, i LOVE carboot sales & upcycling/re making things. i just made some really retro pattern new cab seat covers last week,removeable too so i can wash them , came out great as others were 10yrs (worn/torn/old)OOOHHHH yeh Jake no more scarey ness.....hahaha,,,made me jump!! you'v such a gentle energy ;) ...n beth please include every now & again your beautiful playing....big love *

[@feralfreebirds]

oh i have one more great advice, only because what ive been uncovering in my 18yr old transit...13yrs ago when i bought her & fitted her out, i hammerited the side loading door step a couple of coats, then few weeks later(once propa hardened) i made a wooden step & the part at the back cover, i only put 3 screw holes for each piece, then took off,i put oil/grease in holes then did a thick bead of waterproof silicone along the edges, underneath the wood ( if ya know what i mean) and screwed back into place, and then made sure along the front edge i re siliconed to stop any water getting in, and wow pleasantly suprised its the only step i have absolutly no rust, i only wish id done this to my cab steps, and learnt how to take the plastic steps off and do the same, but anyway once ive welded holes, ill be applying same method....to keep good for another 18t=yrs!! just a good thing ive learnt along the way *******

Looks great guys.. Well done. Beth's Mum sounds cool. 👌 Jake, is it not possible to use a 12v adaptor for the laptops? Saves inverting 12v up to 230v then back down to like 19v. That's what we do... But still very handy having an inverter. Safe travels... Maybe see you on the road. 👌

Beth's Mum is very cool! I have seen options to buy 12v chargers but we both have Macs and are worried about damaging the internal batteries if it's a slightly wrong current or something. I should probably have another look!

Hi! We spend one year sleeping across it like that, now we have adapted it so a ply sheet slides out and we rest it on the counter so we sleep the other way :) It was okay for me but Jake is 6"1 :D

[@barryo80s18]

Hi Guys really enjoyed your van build videos. I am looking to convert a van and am 6’2” so was really interested to see how the height was in the van. I was looking at a Renault Master medium roof which is the same height as yours I think. Do you think I would be ok for height if I made the same thickness floor insulation as your? Thanks Barry

[@OurWildHorizons]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching 😀 Jake is 6’1 and we have 12mm Celotex and 9mm ply on the floor and on the ceiling we have 30mm Celotex and 8mm thick tongue and groove cladding :) he can stand in the van and his head only just touches the ceiling :) Your slightly taller than him so you could even go with thinner Celotex on the ceiling maybe 🤗 We did a lot of the build with his height in mind to keep it comfortable :) Hope this helps :) Oh yes and ours is L2H2 size mwb Vauxhall movano 😊 which I believe is the same as the Renault master 🤓

[@alisonshanahan9529]

Love the recycled curtain in all its appearances, your Mum is a clever lady indeed. You've done an excellent job converting your van, thorough work on the insulation, but you didn't mention a heater?

Ooh that’s exciting, you’ll be able to go off road too! For clothes washing we just go to a laundry place when we need to.

Great build and design ! We are just starting a cargo trailer conversion and had planned to do what you did with the seats and pull out table. Can you provide the dimensions for the seats and what is the height of the table ? Is the table on drawer slides or held in place with a wooden track ? Thanks so much.

[@OurWildHorizons]

Ah thank you for the compliments. I can’t remember the dimensions but what I did was put the toilet in place and measure around that making sure there was enough space to accommodate it and some toilet roll etc. Then kept the symmetry using the same on the other side. For the table, it’s on a very basic wooden track with a length of wood holing it up and two more on the sides to prevent it wiggling too much. I hope that helps! Good luck with your build 🙂

[@OurWildHorizons]

We’ve actually been intentionally minimal with our clothes and will just go to a laundromat or use the machines at a campsite. Thanks for watching!

Brilliant video. What a great way to live, inspiring. I hope to get a campervan soon. Well done for being vegan.🌱🐖🐑🐓🐄

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thanks Michael! We hope you get one soon, it's so freeing to be able to wake up in so many different places and see all the new places. We've been vegan for over 3 years and it's made us love cooking so much more!

The bed doesn’t look very long. How tall are you both? I am over 6’ and it looks way too short for me … charming van otherwise.

[@OurWildHorizons]

I’m 6’1 and if I stand up straight as possible my head is just touching the ceiling so it’s bigger than it looks. Nice to have such a big garden though for when I need a stretch 😄
