There's a big difference between 'putting your own stamp on it' and replacing a fitted fire and fridge!! I would definitely fit it out so it looks finished.....!

[@RA-tb7jx]

If he wants to maximum KZbin attention fit a compressor three way fridge, a maxxair fan, and an upgraded truma or if budget won’t allow a Malaga hot water heater which is upgrade to original carver. Van life is massive on KZbin... then fit solar system - it’s all amount the content

[@LOTEN1977]

Could be a can of worms though Andy mate, and possibly a bit trumpy, as would need to use a qualified bod to do the install them

[@RA-tb7jx]

Robin L you’ve just proved my point my channel will be installing this shit

[@marklittler784]

@@RA-tb7jx Basic upgrades shouldn't cut profits especially at the moment, like the usb stereo upgrade it makes it much more desirable.

[@michellebyrom6551]

@@marklittler784 I agree. A 3 way fridge and heater, found second-hand like the rest, makes it fully functional for a holiday right now. That surely improves the selling price. Most people don't want to do restoration work. Adding throw cushions and such is enough for personal stamping.

[@christopherjohn5040]

You got to finish the motor home, do the fire and fridge 👍

[@hughzarie1860]

I agree

[@johnhumphreys9879]

So do I

[@BigDave1965]

Got to be done, think it's great build

[@mattyreid2261]

Get it finished rob😁 then get away in it for a weekend😎

[@chrispndry7290]

I agree too, then you are selling it ready to use

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Another great vid Rob, I think the reason so many people are following this motorhome repair is because they all wish they were doing it themselves!! It has to be everybody’s dream to obtain a “cheap van / mobile camper van” and do it up into a motorhome! And then go out and enjoy having a break in it. You have to finish it fully Rob - every little bit you do adds pounds to its value! Brilliant.

[@CF21LDB]

Well done Rob it’s hard to think it was the same camper, what ever profit you make you’ve definitely earned every penny.

[@ThePorridgeGobbler]

If you are selling it Rob then you really need to fit a fire and a fridge to finish it off, a habitation cert would be icing on the cake. Don't forget to straighten the aluminium door frame outside where a screwdriver has been used to Jimmy the door, I spotted it at the start of your vlog. Looking good.

[@michaelvandromme]

Yeah that door jam didn’t look good, not sure if Chris could straighten it?

[@JHA854]

Michael Vandromme Chris can straighten anything 😂

[@callumburney2247]

Would also like to see the fibreglass repair on the back of the camper

[@alanlake5220]

Yeah Rob i'm watching this campervan project a year after you did it,i love your enthusiasim and passion for the van, and boy has it come a long way form when you started doing it .

[@SurRon_OffRoad]

you no what mate...you deserve your own tv show....you rearly are a genuine bloke and i love watching what you do......all the best👍❤

[@sruk]

Thank you 🙏

[@sean-wh3it]

Rob get that fire n fridge mate and big respect to Chris he wasn't keen but he got a heart of gold helping you out mate

[@kay110]

I can tell you really like it now its cleaned up - the smile on your face says it all. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you end up keeping it and having the odd holiday in it!!!

[@Valhalla764]

On a nice day open all the doors and windows and all cupboards it will make such a difference to freshen the camper up it really works 👍

[@davidbeddoes4275]

I dare say a fair few of us are caravanners and so naturally will be interested in this project

[@Andy-qo6rq]

Loved the video. Must admit the van is looking really nice now. I reckon as someone has offered you a heater and fridge for nothing I would grab them on the way back from Cornwall fit them so it’s complete and will sell easy. If someone wants to buy the van it might put them off if it’s minus a heater and fridge. They might not have the know how to fit one and would have to get it fitted and probably pay through the nose for both units. You know it’s the right way. It has to be done you never leave a job half done so why change a habit of a life time. Make someone’s day and finish the job. Some elderly couple would love that van.

[@paulahennell4232]

Rob, admit it....you have loved every moment of this project and we all love it too

[@sruk]

It’s been good 👍

[@gibboian]

Rob, I'm loving this series. It shows that you don't need money and technical know how to fix everything. Just roll your sleeves up! And finish the job with a fridge and fire. You know you should!

[@erniepenny221]

Rob, enjoy your videos on the campervan, a lot of satisfaction for you and it shows, regards from N.Z.

[@rottenbot]

Fit the fire and the fridge, also replace those worktops to get good money back,

[@GrrMeister]

*This beats "Wheeler Dealers" hands down. Superb professional job.*

[@evelyngorfram9306]

"a wireless....with a USB port" - I'm going to be enjoying that all day. :) Thanks for these videos: I've really been enjoying them.

[@MrDemondoug]

Thanks Rob And Chris For all your hard work keeping us entertained during the pandemic

[@canalboating]

Can't see you parting with this Rob, It's clear you're loving it, I'm telling you you will be heartbroken :) great Job so far.

[@stephenfox966]

I am sure that we all want you to make a lot of money out of this project.It is the right time of year to sell and the new owner will be able to see the renovation.The fridge and stove would be good selling points so I would get them fitted.Looks much younger than 20 years old.

[@DaveGardner64]

Rob you always send your projects out complete. Fit the fire and Fridge, repair the worktops and can we see what the interior looks like in the dark. Loving this project.

[@davidlawrenson7542]

Well I have to say that if I was in the market for any motors I would have no hesitation in buying one from these guys. I’ve never seen such honest and genuine people so keep up the great work gentlemen.

[@essex__rider]

I’m so glad you’re doing these random projects. It’s fantastic what you’ve done! 👌

[@adetremontionwhite]

Id keep it Rob, you look like youve fallen in love with it😍😂😂

[@AmirKhan-mz5qb]

Looks a million times better 👌👌

[@andypeebles2242]

My kids always give me a funny look when I call it a wireless. Love it!

[@tramlad2]

When you have finished with the motor home, it will fly out the door, these are so popular lots of age groups love campers, so useful, and that is not too long a wheelbase so very easy to drive, another great update Rob, excellent stuff., Carpets really freshen the whole inside

[@andyspencer1010]

I think your smile says I might keep this 👌

[@itsmephil2255]

Rob and Chris......legends in the motor trade

[@royhullah9468]

Yes i do agree with many others that a fridge and fire would finish it off a treat, well done both an excellent project.

[@stegradon7827]

Love the variety. Good shout on the motor home, could be a good earner.

[@CarlAdamson2563]

Would love to see you buy a T5 from copart an convert it to camper van 👍

[@petebird7171]

Another vote for the fire and fridge mate,if you can pick them up at reasonable money I would, I think it will make a massive difference when you’re selling it, great video as usual thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ianwest6153]

Hi Rob, I think before you sell your motorhome you all should go away and enjoy it.. I love the way its turning out..

[@johnlong3214]

Whoever said "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" has never watched this channel👍+🔔

[@autumnmatthews3179]

There’s nothing you and Chris can’t do Rob. It’s looking amazing

[@LZDEN]

you and Christ have done a fine job Rob.you have brought the motorhome back to a splendid condition...well done guys.

[@oldloafandyoung]

Exterior plastics, back to black, or whatever product you normally use will make a great difference. Excellent so far. Keep it going

[@danlegge2742]

Another vote for fridge and fire, it will look great if completed.

[@Bobhench]

Hope you earn a petty little pennie when you finally sell the motor home looked a little rough when you first showed use it looks amazing now well done guys. 💯👍

[@kennethmillar8173]

Robb and Chris you have done a brilliant job on the carpet 😄

What a transformation, Rob the genius strikes again.

20 years old,,, it’s aged better than my mrs👍

[@seantaylor6123]

Fabulous Rob & Chris doing very well with the campervan

[@iandorling]

I would either put a light grey or a dark grey set of seat covers then recover your other cushions to match as the exterior looks quite modern

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

That turd is well and truly polished I'll be honest when I first saw it I could see it's potential. But you guys have even gone about it brilliantly. There's a caravan breakers near copart sandwich maybe of help to you

[@richardmounfield7822]

Salvage and wreck rebuilds . Looking like a different vehicle Rob . You have transformed this one

[@alancampbell1008]

Take Mrs Rob to Cornwall in it and pick up the fridge and fire in it on the way home. I still reckon you're going to keep it...see the love you have for that van in your eyes everytime you speak about it 😍😂 Chris will have camper envy 😂

[@mattsan70]

Dye the curtains etc grey. Easy job

[@stevewoodw]

RE: Threads sticking out from carpet - don't cut them off, push them down with a putty knife.

[@ShedTV]

This series is great Rob, and van rebuilds are massive on KZbin too. I'd like to see you see fit a fridge and fire and also repair the ally doorframe and the split rear panel. Brilliant work mate!

[@croberts744]

This is the best videos you ever have done for me please please finish this it’s not just about the profit it’s about education for your subscribers

[@stekwack]

would be good content to see you do the cam belt Rob would also be good to see you come up with a idea for repairing/returning the worktops too

[@rainbowchaser9604]

Speaking as someone who lives full time in a motorhome, I would say you must fit the fridge & fire. Trying to sell it without them will narrow down the buyers too much & hurt your profit. Get them fitted, sort the back bumper & you'll have no problem selling it on. If it's a 2.5tdi engine, they're very sluggish as standard. Fit a K&N air filter & adjust the actuator arm, by shortening it about 10mm. This increases the boost pressure & the filter helps the engine breathe. It completely transforms an annoying slug into a pleasurable driving experience which will tackle hills with aplomb

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Camper van is looking really good Rob, well done.

[@martincunnington2154]

Looks really tidy now,you can see how much your enjoying doing it you keep smiling when you talk about it brilliant

[@johngreen6375]

Rob, have loved the transition of this motor home going from sad to to looking good! My humble opinion is getting a fridge and heater back in there so it’s ready to travel will pull in more attention and, even if they don’t quite match, will get you a better return. Again, just my opinion, but looking great. As always lads, big 👍

[@davethompson6726]

Like my previous comment on the other video enjoyed every minute did you check the on board water tank and waste tanks and run water through the system to clean any 🦠 bacteria didn’t see if all the internal lights were ok hope you get that window soon the inside of motorhomes is gleaming but not as bright as your smile and enthusiasm Dave

[@johnmcgregor9240]

Come on Rob finish the job ,you know you want to .... You know it makes sense 👍. Great content as always .

[@kevindehinkelai7464]

Been following this from the start, don't normally comment but feel I have too.. Absolutely loving this project, wish you could do more camper vans It's looking so good now with minimal effort from you and Chris Shame about the window locks, get em on asap More more more please.. Camper vans are great!

[@sruk]

Thank you 👍

[@jonsmith8582]

Be careful when fitting gas appliances , they might have to be certified as being safe ? cracking job there Rob

[@uselesseverything209]

I agree, would need a gas safe guy to test and certify

[@jbuckley2546]

@@uselesseverything209 Gas safe with a separate ticket for mobile installs.

[@chrisrogers2848]

As long as it’s for private use (ie not rented out), no need for Gas Safe or a certificate - it’s outside the scope of the regs. Should still be fitted by a ‘competent person’ and safety tested though. Any caravan engineer could do it. I’m training for this right now, so I’ve just studied the rules.

[@buzzkillington3354]

@@chrisrogers2848 spot on

[@MrZimmaframe]

Everything is working except the “Hoo ah” 😂

[@andybowyer3602]

Can't beat the smell of good new carpet

[@richardadriver]

Fridge and heater are basic essentials for a motorhome and with the potential for a year's habitation certificate would boost the asking price. Worth the effort.

[@laurencerobson560]

Fire and fridge will definitely put the icing on the cake. Don’t forget the gas safe certificate and habitation check certs as well. A good job well done by both of you

[@anthonyhoran2543]

When they say you can’t polish a turd.........you totally have. It looked very ropy when it arrived but I’d love to travel in that camper! Well done

[@saddletramp5000]

What a great motor home. That layout is just perfect. Wish this beauty was mine.

[@samberridge8370]

Hi Rob, really enjoyed watching this project. I would personally put the fridge and fire in with the effort you have gone to. You've done a fantastic job so far in bringing this old camper to its former glory. Makes a nice change to have somthing different on the channel. Keep up the good work 👍

[@allanrolfe6173]

Rob, keep on doing what you are doing. I personally would fit a fridge and fire back in just so that it was finished, the purchaser can always change them once they have bought it. But the camper would be usable if fitted out. And as for some comments, they don't have to watch I am sure they would be better off watching themselves in a mirror or watching paint dry, we love what you do guys, keep on doing it. Cheers.

[@garyblack2937]

Agree with the other comments mate, i would finish it off with the fire & fridge, would look the dogs danglys then. Great content keep it up.

[@benduke4454]

Fire, fridge, worktop and fibreglass repair that's a couple more episodes for us to watch and a guaranteed tidy profit for you when you sell it on.

[@stevedineen1668]

Great watching rob you must do more motor homes even my wife enjoyed watching this one👍👍

Great work ethic. The real reward would be havin a Pint on a 3 day weekend with the Mrs.

Looks great Rob ! You’ve transformed it, so nice to see something saved from scrap. My eagle eye spotted black mould on silicone in the bath room. Here’s a top tip 😁 roll up a long sausage of toilet paper, soak it in bleach and squidge it into the corner, leave it overnight and it will get rid of black mould, works great on bath surrounds to 😁

Well done Rob, your presenting skills are excellent and I'm looking forward to the next episode already. Please pay no heed to the trolls - they get their pleasures in very odd ways so don't take any of their comments seriously. The overwhelming majority love your channel!

[@johnjames01]

Super job Rob 👍 The idea of leaving the fire and fridge, so someone can do their own jobs on it makes sense. Only thing is, if you do those bits, you'll be able to send it off, knowing you've looked after it from top to bottom. It'll really help the selling price, because you'll have it absolutely 100%. I'd go the whole hog because you're doing a smashing job on it 👍

[@davldcooksey4137]
