My grandson uses a cab bed with a self inflating mattress,works great and rolls up to about the size of a brush pole. I love your layout idea where you can sit around the table and changes to a bed for the boys. Couple of sleeping bags and boom your away. Looking forward to your new build,Sometimes its the simple things that make it work. 😊👌

Thank you and yes you are probably right xx

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

welcome back to vanlife, guys! I must admit from when I used to drive a big motorhome, I was glad to downsize and get Viv. easier to park and way better MPG. Cant wait to see big yeller become your new mobile home on wheels and seeing what Stu does at Vanology on his channel, its deffo gonna be epic. Much respect to you both 🙏- Kenny

[@zoewheeler9857]

Wow guys this is a total shock but am excited for you all, got to admit i loved the A class you had but did see for my self the struggles you had with the size of it when visiting the places you went to, so although will miss seeing you all in it, totally understand your reasons for getting this van and doing your own build looking forward to seeing the end result and following you all as a family on your travels in it, happy van building guys so amazing ❤😊

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for being so lush and understanding our choices probably better we’re building one again tbh xx

[@zoewheeler9857]

@ certainly be interesting to see how you kit it out, i never saw the Crafter you had 😊

[@TheRollingRucks]

The crafter was a year or so ago x

[@zoewheeler9857]

@ oh ok x

[@mentalneil]

Wow, that's a shock, I thought you'd found your forever van when you found the A class, but I can see your point for changing, take care guys

[@TheRollingRucks]

We love the a class but does prevent some really cool park ups which we are missing out on

[@romanyronadventures277]

Wow that’s brilliant news loved your crafter look forward to how this one turns out 🤙🤙🤙

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you 🤩 should have some really nice touches on this one

[@benstockton6678]

Can’t beat yellow van. We done high full length bed and single bed under, still have lots garage space.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Awesome to hear that thank you x

[@sandymclennan2073]

Great to see you tackle a new project, that van looks bigger that the Crafter and whatever layout you have I am sure it will work for you. I too am undecided on the poptop, they do lose a lot of heat in the cold and wet weather, reminds me of the time I saw a van travelling towards me on A48 with the poptop still extended....oops.....Look forward to seeing this one progress....

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you and you are right pop top wise it’s a Gough one as we often go hotter places but typically still contend with rain now and then haha x

[@vivienogden9916]

We’ve swapped to and fro with different vehicles and like you have concluded smaller has more pluses and I really don’t miss that extra space. The idea of a cab bed is a great idea for full space utilisation.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you, yes we aren’t in the van all that much it’s purpose is to sleep and move about otherwise we’re sitting outside or exploring so hopefully this will suit us at last x

[@tonyp011]

I disagree because they moaned last time that they didn’t have enough room

[@tonyp011]

@@TheRollingRucksand what’s going to happen when your kids outgrow their bed spaces are you going to be changing to bigger again?

[@TheRollingRucks]

No they can have a van of their own 😂

I don’t believe we moaned rather explained 😂 but we were living in ot full time which we aren’t at the moment x

Thanks 🤩

[@ClareHopper]

Missed u guys xxxx

[@TheRollingRucks]

🥰🥰🥰

[@StephenCogdale]

Great video I see that they a solid sided pop top roof for campervan like redtail skyloft which would be much better than canvas

[@TheRollingRucks]

Oooh yes that would be good where do these get fitted please?

[@StephenCogdale]

I saw the redtail skyloft on KZbin I believe it's a American company and there are also some Chinese versions I saw videos of on KZbin as a pop top is good but with solid sides it would be great to use all year , I was thinking perhaps in time if I got a van converted I would prefer the solid pop top roof

[@markbur1503]

Its back to the future then! I dont blame you as i dont think you ever really got on with the Big A Class. They are great when you get where you are going and once you set up and stay put for a while. We like to do 2/3 night max when we are abroad. Our PVC is prefect for us (2). We downsized from a 7.5 m Pilote to what we have now. However all our kids are adults and their children are lovley but we dont take them away with us...Look forward to the build and updates. Does the DHL Van have many miles on it as i thought they hung on to them until they were clapped out..

[@TheRollingRucks]

Yeah you are right we lived it because of the space and being full time thought it would suit us but we are on the move too much to have something that big those vans are designed for relaxation and chill which we aren’t quite ready for so suck it up and have less space but more adventures x

[@sidpf1972]

Keep it yellow ❤

[@johnallan5821]

Ur family is magic lol

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you that’s so lush x

[@mellissatobin6136]

I would not go for the pop top personally given that you travel to places that aren't always warm and sunny. But whatever you choose I hope it works for your family needs.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you appreciate it c

[@malcblakey7828]

You are always having time off. Colleen 😊

[@heleenwiegand1650]

We buy a new van or motorhome every two years 😂 so, yeah, totally get that ❤

[@TheRollingRucks]

Haha it’s definitely a big x

[@mulberryaddict938]

Are you able to say roughly what a conversion like this might cost? We currently have a large caravan which we do struggle with on Spanish sites. Hubby wants a Moho and a like the space of a Moho but I think if we had a big van with a conversion to suit us I think it would work.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Very difficult to say as price changes with specification, materials and electric set up. We aim to spend a bit but most start from around 10k of converting yourself materials can be expensive so worth whittling it down and sometimes need to compromise we learned that when doing our crafter we massively over spent x

[@robertducie7242]

Tow a box trailer for stuff you would put in garage..

[@TheRollingRucks]

That’s a good idea x

[@davesdaze]

Hi Stu and Charlene. Hope u are all well. New van looks nice but surprised you got rid of your nice new one although bit was quite large, I understand. The sprinter looks clean, what sort of miles did it have on it?. Best very interested as always to watch your professional build. Our ex Sainsbury van is performing well. Very well insulated, were on fridge box campers Facebook. We're on 136000 miles but on 7g auto very smooth uses no oil at all. Good luck with it, best wishes to you all . Hope u all have a great Xmas. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk

[@TheRollingRucks]

We still have it technically until it sells but missed adventures with the kids felt like campsites were a must. Thank you for supporting us x

[@gazwolves9489]

Brill guys life’s a journey you making best of it I love my self build of the the tag axle we ad atb

[@TheRollingRucks]

Yeah we loved ours too so much choice with a self build we will miss the space of the a class but that’s it really x

[@nickhoward9343]

DHL van nice

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you x

[@nickhoward9343]

I think you’ve made the right decision getting a smaller van

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you x

[@Happyinmyautotrail]

Lovely teeth guys. ❤ Your 1st motorhome the roller team seemed a nice size for you all. The a class far too big but a transit van for 5 with ever growing kids is too small. Those boys will soon be huge. I like watching your lovely family whatever you do but with Stuart’s amazing van building skills could you have not gone for a Luton type van to give you a bit more space. I really liked your 1st van best. Be happy whatever you do because I can’t imagine how much money you have now lost on that gorgeous A class. It is a stunning motorhome but better suited to American roads not for Europe.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you ;-) Yeah we lived the rollerteam too, this van is bigger than the previous one so hoping it will suit us better Stu has designs for days haha x

[@Happyinmyautotrail]

@ I also think keep the yellow

[@KateJackson-Wynch]

How do you manage without a shower? We have to have a shower on board to wild camp all the time!

[@TheRollingRucks]

We visit campsites or lesuire centres etc rather than on board

[@Richrich008]

How much was the DHL van? I'm looking for one, where best to keep a look out to pick one up?

[@TheRollingRucks]

We found ours in wales plenty about at the moment from 12k upwards

Just a quick question guys tomorrow we will be in Gibraltar were did you park was it at the airport watching with interest Andy

[@TheRollingRucks]

Hello we parked at la linea which is the docks in Spain next to the Gib border

[@margoparsons671]

Have you both been to Turkey? 😁😁

[@TheRollingRucks]

No idea what gave it away 😂😂😂

[@tonyp011]

I’ve never known or come across someone who doesn’t seem to know what they want as you two, chopping and changing it’s hard to keep up, one minute it’s motorhome then small conversion, back to larger motorhome because the other wasn’t big enough, now going back down in size, your going to be in the same position as last time when you said not enough room, one day perhaps you will finally decide what you want and stick with it

[@TheRollingRucks]

Life is for living and we aren’t all the same. We can be impulsive and change our minds but when you have 3 kids it can be hard to get the space or layout right. We are only human after all

[@epcode5121]

Have you had your teeth done 😊😁😘😍

[@TheRollingRucks]

What do you mean??? 😂😂😂

[@epcode5121]

[@TheRollingRucks]

[@donnapierce8558]

Now this is exciting viewing, the A class is cool but I think if I had it I’d be too scared to mess it up… best suited to an old retired couple probably haha…the DHL will be a proper family camper, go anywhere, see everything workhorse that you can cook a roast dinner in and not worry about the smells haha! Love it, can’t wait to see the new colour!!

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you that’s awesome of you to say x

[@granddadmark7639]

I did think as a campervan converter owning a A-class was a bit 🤦‍♂️

[@TheRollingRucks]

We bought the a class for space being full time but we have leaned it was too big for us

Pop top, no more kid coffins please.

[@TheRollingRucks]

😂😂😂

[@vintagedutchclocks]

Perfect teeth.. 👌

[@dismaldog]

Another channel that cannot get the right vehicle,crafter was too small for 5 so lets do another the same.

[@jadeybrice]

So what, they tried and it didn't work for them and I totally get it. Each to their own 🤷‍♂️

[@TheRollingRucks]

This one is bigger allowing us the layout we wanted for the crafter but we’re only human and can make our mistakes

[@mulberryaddict938]

There is a leisure vehicle for every type and eventuality. We can make the smallest caravan or the biggest motorhome fit our holiday travels, it doesn’t stand to reason that you have to buy one and stick with it.
