[@blehbleh222]

Bro this shit was incredibly entertaining don’t ever think for a second we don’t enjoy you putting in effort for us, each video allows us all to just forget about the world for a short time. Thank you for doing that for us 🙏🏽

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Don't be so hard on yourself, it's all a learning process Will, I crash, bang and wallop my way through things but you are constantly learning, good effort mate ... just beep that horn one more time !! 😂🤣 👍🏻

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Haha I’ll save that for the next video

[@kwong6884]

My favourite thing about this series with the van build is that it’s very far from Instagram perfect and it’s highly entertaining 😂

[@UKRussellSmith]

Nothing went drastically wrong Will. The van didn't catch fire! You're not born knowing how to do stuff. You learn by watching and doing. You are doing my friend. Many people talk the talk but few can walk the walk. You are walking mate. Chin up, you're smashing it 👍👍

[@patch9113]

Such a funny video, the horn going off and then when you slid the front blinds together for the first time and the right one instantly rolled open. Brilliant.

[@Wendmera2379]

Your videos are never boring. I love them.

[@fairysrreal180]

Will, watching your videos are pure entertainment value, and its good to get an exercise free six pack through all the laughing. You did a great job putting them blinds up in at the end, you know you have to be extra careful if you paid £500 for such a novel and fragile (low quality) item, hopefully they wont fly out on to your face while driving with your windows open. Can't wait to see your next video as always.

[@LadyFisher12]

Good point on the 'Flying out' possibility, That will be on a future video lol (I hope not).

[@WillsWhereabouts]

I wish I could get a free six pack haha

[@UrbanVanlife]

Ours have never came out . But they are also crap made . But once you have them you’ll never not have them

[@jpcrichton2280]

Mate don’t beat yourself up. Regardless of the quality of the product you got the job done and you’ll be learning as you go. Nothing wrong at all with having a crack at things. Keep up the good work, cracking videos.

[@anthonyjames4648]

Your videos are NEVER boring! 😂

[@Robbeans81]

This is one of you best videos , it’s proper cheered me up on a Monday , the right amount of swearing , that horn honking was 😂

[@TrevM0nkey]

I've wanted to build my own camper for a few years now. Your videos are the reason I bought an already converted day van instead, I have the same issue when everything goes wrong just because it's me doing it. I even managed to fire a nail through my finger with a nail gun when building a cabinet

[@gravic48]

Will, you could never be boring!

[@bigjoafan]

Nothing is boring about your videos Will … just stay alive 🤗

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Haha I’m still going strong

[@kilroyfilms7590]

Omg by the third horn blast I was crying 😂 well done mate you adapted and overcame again

[@brianparker5228]

PMSL it was like watching a classic Norman Wisdom film but boy do I love watching your videos and you and Neil make a good double act

[@RWBlakeArt]

If it makes you feel any better... Watching ypu f*** up really brightened my day Will and I'm sure I'll be doing the same when I get to building our own van

[@bigal2417]

This video is one of the funnest videos I've ever watched. You should be making sickcoms.

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Thanks 😃😃😃

Not sure what's funnier, the video or the spelling of Sitcoms

[@bigal2417]

Those blinders are looking verry classy !!!!!!!!!

Everything is a learning curve and you only learn by doing things and when you've done it you should be proud of yourself xx no matter how you got to the end result. ❤❤ liz

[@diecastculture7066]

Your persistence paid off - enjoyable to watch as ever - the horn honking every now & then was a comedy show 😅 you're helping keep my dream alive of doing a DIY van conversion.

[@armanabelino7517]

Yeah I wanna see you camping, cooking and enjoying your lunch dinner and life.

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Coming soon my friend! Thanks for joining me and let the fun commence!

[@jasonbryer4249]

Good sir. That is making chicken salad out of chicken poop. Sometimes there greatest ingenuity comes from stress. You are an inspiration and you have my respect. Great work! Best

[@diwarburton5369]

Not at all boring, very entertaining!

[@mphigham1963]

Oh Will I was chuckling to myself all the way through that, cheers Pal !!

[@shhhaua9426]

Will you crack me up for reals ! Real van life build is never as easy as it seems ! You will be a pro when this is all done !! 🤙🏾✌🏾

[@jenspoulsen5411]

Its not boring but entertainimg and somewhat educational Your small mistankes are priceless, sorry. Could have done it myself

[@suziemc5291]

this is looking so good. I past you at the over lander show but you were busy. this was a good vlog, funny and you are a night mare which is why its funny. keep up the good work xx

[@robbblair6289]

We love you Will. Look at it this way. You don’t learn until you try. An though somethings might be the 1st time doing it can be frustrating you just create some experience into it. So stop beating yourself up mate. An keep building your dream van. Its very impressive so far. An without giving it away. Is the movie Too Gun worth seeing? I keep hearing mix reviews.

[@BagUpTV]

Mate best video I’ve ever seen 👍 loved it , laughing my head off. More of these will.

[@kathybutler881]

Haven't laughed so much for ages, sorry Will !!! But every time you hit that horn had me creased up. Love watching your channel!

[@henrymcdonald7335]

I know you weren't too happy with how it all went, but I actually think you did a class job! Thinking back to the early days, you can really see how far you've come using tools - and you even engineered your own fix for the rear view camera so I think you did great. Also, I know you said you wanted to smash everything, but I think you kept a pretty calm head. I'd have absolutely torn the blinds to shreds in anger and given up - so fair play for seeing it through!

[@helenaveyard2061]

Will, you're so fun to watch, stop beating yourself up so much and please stop apologising!!!!! You are amazing and I love watching your videos xxxx

[@doylehammond5252]

Mate love how normal you are! You inspire a lot of people to give things ago! Keep it up 👍

[@peterhrick6789]

Great entertainment, you’re having a go and showing real things that happen with DIY, keep it up.

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Thank you 🙏

[@Chris-zo6xd]

Always entertaining watching you will , so that’s the point making the vids 😀

[@tsrgoinc]

The point of Will are the videos on the van build so you can learn how NOT to do it! Sorry Will, couldn’t resist mate! 🤣

[@WillsWhereabouts]

🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@astrojourneyuk]

8 minutes in and for some reason I'm still watching and 98k other people did too!. :) To be fair, watching anyone do something you can still learn from other people. Fortunately I don't need to replace my hinges. :) Now onto the window blinds!

[@CampervanTravelsInDora]

Will, this is probably the best ever install video I have seen. You are class buddy and I was pissing myself. Well done pal 👍👍👍

[@jessicatruman8105]

I think its good to make these videos. Shows ppl that we can all do it. Just need time and patience. Well done i think the blinds look great

[@simonpriestley4424]

You show us the way van builds are most people hide these parts van looking nice mate

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Black out curtains installed just behind the driver and passenger seats. This will give you all the privacy you need plus; they will help with insulation from the heat and cold. And are more stealthy than blinds.

[@JustDaniel6764]

But then he’d lose access to his swivel seat when closed.

[@gordonmculloch4904]

@@JustDaniel6764: good point. All he does then is drape them over the back of the swivelled chair(s) when they are turned towards the back. 👍

[@JustDaniel6764]

@@gordonmculloch4904 suppose yeah would work draped over the back when in swivel 😀

[@EvaAliceD]

This was so funny that I laughed out loud 😂The horn and all the retakes on screwing stuff 😂I have stomach pain after laughing so much 😂I adore your videos so keep ‘em coming ❤❤❤

[@matauboy]

Will I watched the entire video and enjoyed it. Don't tell John, but I only skipped through his how to vid. My great grandfather built his own house making it up as he went along. It's still a good house 100 years later. So best wishes from NZ and keep going.

[@peakyparttimers9362]

You are doing a brilliant job Will! don't be so hard on yourself. Nobody is as bad as me trying to put things together. When I was fitting a radio head unit I blew the ignition and couldn't start the van and had AA recovery take me to a garage and ended up having to have to reset the software to make the van start! 😅

[@mrjay9746]

Will your pure gold. AWESOME!

[@markpritchard3707]

Brilliant, I’m about to try and do my own sprinter conversion and watching your videos apart from the comedy side of it is very informative and an eye opener of what Im about to sign up to 😂

[@TheAthavanleon]

Mate - keep your head up and have fun... You are so funny...

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Thank you 🙏

[@phillipsharpe6459]

Keep it real pal , well done for having a go , love the horn bits, 😂🤣👍

[@oliverdots]

You are giving yourself a hard time when it isn't justified. You fitted them, overcame problems and they look bloody good. Don't be so hard on yourself Will, you did amazing!!

[@ciarannolan5669]

Great video Will!!! Pure entertainment plus showing us the real side to vanlife👌

[@johntruttero]

My old boss used to say close enough is good enough. If it works it’s good you can always improve later. It’s all a learning experience 👍🏻

[@shampoovta]

Haven't I mentioned Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig? I am sure I have. My Dad recommended it to me when I fist started to work on my first car. He went threw the same shit when he was working on his motorcycle. Dude everybody struggles. My friend Jake would throw tools and scream at the top of his lungs and stomp away. I saw him blow up after snapping a bolt off in the head. It's not just you. We all do it to some degree at the start. It's were your at in the game right now. Your doing fine. This is like when your falling on your ass a lot when you first try to rollerblade. It sucks going through it. Dude what your doing now will help you later for bigger challenges than just a van. It's more about learning about yourself and how you deal with a challenge.

[@roberthardy2013]

Tip from me! Undo the difficult to access ones first AND leave them loosely in position until they are ALL loose, apart from that a good job!

[@briggsy3155]

Your videos are great mate they are exactly what they are supposed to be all the problems are just reality most people cut most of the video out and show every job complete withing 10minz. your videos are better because it's how things are in the real life not just on KZbin keep it up

[@jamiewhite8641]

That was the best video yet, if we need to know how to build a van we watch Greg Virgo but for entertainment it’s you 🤣

[@craigtaplin7697]

That’s was a funny video. Could turn it into a drinking game, every time the horn goes off 📢🍺😂

[@ChilledOut]

Great job Will. I have to say it’s cool to see someone else who struggles with these diy tasks. I always have the best intentions but usually have the wrong tools or I get ahead of myself and completely miss a step and have to re-do the project. I am interested to see how long those blinds last.

[@robincastree]

well done Will, stick with it.

[@PK_Blinder]

Coastal Motorhomes is the place for all your spare parts. They have original hinges in stock

[@chrisrothwell69]

YAAAAY‼️ The man is back ! Totally unnecessary self injury 👍🤣‼️

[@saschaaretzpd]

Hy, take the lamp out and pur some small Wood inside to Screw your backcam Monitor inside. It makes it more stabile. Greats from Germany

[@austinswallow]

Did you think of just replacing the door hinge pin? The centre part can be drifted out - this bit moves so even if it seized & broke it would not be a hard slog to get it out, perhaps do a repair and re-fit it at a later date? Glad the other hinges fitted they don't look right but good enough!

[@Azurren]

An adjustable phone / dashcam windscreen mount with 3m adessive may solve your rear-view camera mounting issue as you could simply line it up with the "mirror hole" in the blinds. Right now, knowing your luck, it's gonna come crashing down when next going over speedbumps / potholes or rough roads :3 _A suction cup holder may interfere with the blind-windscreen clearance_

[@carcharodon9894]

Will, you did great. Everyone has a large dollop of "sods law" when doing stuff. You got there in the end, gained new knowledge and experience along the way. Now you have complete privacy to watch your movies, without fear of the door falling off or the blinds not fully closed. 😉 well done 👏.

[@joline2730]

Oh golly did I crack up each time that hooter went 😁😀🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣 was literally crying with laughter ha ha ha ha ha lol lol lol. Never mind the blinds flying off - watch that rear door 😁😀🤣🤣🤣

[@maggieg.recommendsandrants3081]

I can relate to Will's frustration when he's working on the van. I act exactly the same way when I'm assembling IKEA furniture!

[@Anniesrandommoments]

I'm sorry but you are naturally entertaining, no matter what sh#t day I've had you always manage to make me smile. It's always a learning process when you haven't done something before but next time would be a piece of cake. Hinge done, blinds done I think progress has definitely been archived. Well done for not giving up & finding a solution for your reversing camera. Looking forward to your next project. Take care and drive safe 🤗

[@glynmoore3730]

More difficult to "wild camp" with window blinds, and wild camping does seem to be your preference, so for me the blinds were not worth the trouble or expense and a simple curtain behind the front seats does such a great job and is simple.

Recommendation: as I see, the mirror you have is a screen for a rear view camera. What if you change your radio to a 2din radio with android auto and apple carplay? To that type of radios you can connect the rearview camera and when you insert the rear gear automatically the screen show the camera
