[@G-InThe-V]

Love the build as you go method, it's the only way that I can work or I just fry my head. Great channel very entertaining the pair of youse 👏🏻

[@UrbanVanlife]

[@craigwomersley6440]

Love watching your videos funny and educational gave me the confidence I needed to tackle my own van keep it up mate 👍🏻

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thanks buddy, we are fine believers in anyone and everyone is capable of doing whatever they put their minds to!

[@StanleyOrchard]

Man, Neil. You are a scholar and a gentleman sir. And a hell of an awesome content creator to boot. I'm honored my friend, thank you!

[@UrbanVanlife]

like wise sit i love your content dude and your a top dude as well

[@StanleyOrchard]

@@UrbanVanlife couldnt have said it better myself!

[@emlyntilley]

Love looking at your back catalogue of videos...does make me laugh sometimes.. nothing better than unedited videos

[@UrbanVanlife]

It’s always nice when we get comments like this as for us it shows the progression that Neil has made with his editing, most channels who have people who have never done something like this before do naturally progress as they do more which is always nice to see, thanks for the comment 😊

[@emlyntilley]

@@UrbanVanlifelove your videos, always waiting for new ones...you have cost me a few quid though as have bought loads of stuff on the back of watching your videos, especially from your Amazon store link

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thanks man as as for citing you …. Sorry buddy ….. a few people keep saying we have cost them money… we don’t mean too and if it any consolation when we watch other videos on here they end up costing us money too!! You can get so many ideas from peoples vans and vlogs 😂😂

[@SuzyTopAgent]

[@aberdeendeltaforce]

Haha, you crack me up mate, probably cross paths at some point, it’s a small community this van life and beers are on me 👍🍺

[@UrbanVanlife]

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

It's looking good, mate. Interesting how things like cupboards suddenly turn the van from a cargo transport into a home.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thanks mate , and yer things are taking shape now thanks for watching my curious friend

[@BigArch6564]

Cracking vlog buddy and thanks for sharing!

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yer man Iv allways had one in all the vans . Over to you rubber duck

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Wow that looks great! I am such a huge fan of utilizing all space available. Especially, when it's a small space.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yer out have to use all the space in a tiny home . And it’s good when you can come up with clear space as well .this isn’t clever but it’s a big old space

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

Hey mate, thanks for the videos, saw all of them just then because I’ve been researching and what not to go full time campervan, thanks for the details that you’ve put and I know your not a professional, but you make it so I can understand it haha

[@UrbanVanlife]

Hey man thanks for watching . And I personally don’t think any one is a professional . Last time I looked there was no qualification in van building buddy . Just do it your way and if it works for you then that’s the right way mate . Lol I’m glad someone understands me . Again thanks and best of luck with your build

[@caridooshi]

@@UrbanVanlife yeah in time I deffo will, and yeah no one is a pro, but some knows more then others, why did you choose the crafter over the other ones?

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Man, I'd love to build me one of those setups brother, you are talented man.

[@UrbanVanlife]

You can do it bro . Just get out there and start banging stuff together buddy

[@bobbyedwards6144]

Have you got any videos On making the bathroom?

[@UrbanVanlife]

[@tehdreamer]

Everyone is so lucky with their straightness of their roof! Mine slopes down towards the back as well as the van walls narrows! BLOODy NIGHTMARE! I have nothing to measure against

[@UrbanVanlife]

sometimes you have to go off the eye mate . vans are a pain when it comes to things like this ., you really have to go off your line of sight cos nothing is ever level , no no way is the wrong way as well, its your van and your way buddy

[@pets2movepets2move50]

Neil ,i did the shelf yesterday following you ,and it turned out nice just ordered carpet to cover it, now im going to do the front cover facia board,but im looking through your vids but cant find one ? did you do one cheers neil

[@UrbanVanlife]

I never mate sorry . But what I did was make a cardboard template from the bulkhead That we removed . Then transferred that to the wood . Do you still have your bulkhead . If not I still have ours . I can trace out the outline on some paper and send it to you if you don’t have the bulkhead .

[@pets2movepets2move50]

@@UrbanVanlife im gutted i scrapped the bulkhead two years ago because i used to do dogs and cats to Spain and back ,not to worry ive nearly done one out cardboard but ive just nipped in because im freezing lol cheers bud

[@UrbanVanlife]

No prob mate . Thought I’d offer while I have our old bull head . Oh mate I know it’s soooooo cold in liverpool and mate that wind lol . I’m not often bothered by the cold but man that chills ya bones

[@dantheman9395]

Almost could use this for housing storage. Lol

[@UrbanVanlife]

Hahahahshhs you could lol

[@bobbyedwards6144]

What size wood battens did you use Thanks

[@UrbanVanlife]

i used Wickes Whitewood PSE Timber - 44mm X 44mm mate

[@MattDXN]

Good work my friend! Can I ask, the nice striped panel design on your cupboards. Have you bought the ply like that? Or covered it yourself before cutting? Where did you source it from? Looks great.

[@UrbanVanlife]

hi mate we got it from leisure supplies in wakefeild , its laminated furniture ply , there about one of the cheapest we found for it mate , but still kind of dear

[@FreedomStrider]

The beginning camera angle makes the van look nearly complete, then you swivel is around as there's bare metal showing 🤣 As for the shelf, it ain't going anywhere 👌

[@UrbanVanlife]

Lol I know it’s not far off complete . And yer that thing isn’t shifting . I mean it’s not as strong as your sex swing but it is great for jam and bread lol

[@rexgeorg7324]

❤️ You make it look so simple lol!!!

[@UrbanVanlife]

Just knocking stuff together mate . Bish bash bosh . And often mess up

[@scotty-sb1403]

Great stuff. Did you buy the wood panels already with the laminated sheets on? Or did you buy the wood then add on the patterned sheets? Thanks

[@UrbanVanlife]

It’s laminated lightweight ply so came already done ✅

We're watching another hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. I could just coop up in your van and disappear right now.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Oh no man that’s so bad you guys get it there so bad , your all in my thoughts mate

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

Your Thumbnail says “Easy Cuborads” while the title of the video says “cupboards”. I’m not sure if the typo is intentional or not. If you do t like the rain, send it to us in California! Everything here is on fire!

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yet man the fires there suck mate I hope your all ok . And it’s a TOTAL misspell lol

shit hole ha ha ,love it
