Small but mighty DIY campervan tour (Fiat Ducato)

[@richiebainbridge2608]

No waffle just a quality first class build 👏

[@pauldavey4437]

Probably the sleekest self build I’ve seen! Looks the pigeons nuts!!!

[@Adz]

Thanks mate!

[@mgbroadsterJ]

​@@AdzHi ,what have you used for insulation?

[@dreamerlotus]

Always blown away by the evolution of your campers. The difference between the early days of the Jellybean to this, it shows your passion for creating excellent homes away from home. Keep up the cracking content.

[@Adz]

Thank you! Yeah I just think when you spend so much time in a small space it has to be done right!

[@josephlionnn]

You’ve put the work in and you deserve this. Congrats man, you’ve done so well!

[@AnthonyHughes694]

The Pigeon is actually amazing

[@dlions9068]

Great van mate. Did yourself proud there. It's been nice to see her out in the wild and doing what she was built to do. I love it. 💯

[@Adz]

Thanks mate! Yeah there was a point when I realised I was spending too much time on the build so I rushed through the last bits so I could get her on the road where she belongs!

[@stevelamb9453]

after watching van lifers on youtube and theres many now and i enjoy them all but this build from Az is probs my fave really great self build!

[@Adz]

Thanks mate!

[@Random-KP]

I ain't been following your channel for too long, but I'm happy I came came across it. Great to see an authentic geezer showing campervan life, with adventures added. Brilliant work mate 👍🏻

[@Adz]

Thanks mate. It’s appreciated!

[@lisam3040]

Well done! You should be well proud of yourself for this build and the work you have put into your channel. I have been watching your vids for ages and they get better and better x

[@mattbutcher3634]

Been here pretty much since the start… you’ve done great dude, safe travels as always 🤙🏼🔥

[@johnjinn599]

Can not wait ,life is short .Enjoy while you can ,your van AKA the pig iron is spot on .

[@jenstone9308]

Such a smart van! The pigeon is a beauty! 😍 You've come such a long way since I first started following you Adz. It's amazing to see!

[@Adz]

Thank you! Yeah I do love the big grey bird!

[@Happytraveller69]

You have done an amazing job on your van. Can not wait to see your new travel plans. Enjoy.

[@billienomates1606]

Very nice and competent van build and the proof is in the pudding as they say.

[@Chris70-h2n]

Class set up,electrics look complicated. Class adventures love the commentary and your dry sense of humour.👍

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

It is a thing of beauty! Seriously... absolute quality, Adz 👍🏻🙂

[@Adz]

Thank you as always mate!

[@stefankenson9782]

BRILLIANT channel - PERIOD !!!

[@nuttyneed]

You built a beauty. The pigeon is the one

[@danfrost3043]

Awesome Van plus the ultimate in practicality. I love it.

[@davidoakley3812]

Mate cracking van build proper smart right up my street . Don't ever change you mate that's what keeps us entertained if I was being honest I've seen a fair few builds in my time but that is special we'll thought out ,👍👏👏👏👏

[@Adz]

Thank you mate!

[@WiMac63]

Looking forward to your next adventure. Loved the artic circle series. Great camper. Great job.

[@pauldupre2269]

Just a fantastic informative intermediate video Adz. Love it! Looking forward to this trip. Love all of your videos, I've been a loyal Subscriber since the beginning. Please keep it up!!!! Love it long time! 😂

[@anderspettersson238]

Your pigeon is fantastic! Looking forward to the next adventure, the arctic one was right up my alley, literally...

[@Adz]

Thanks mate!

[@stevepjackson]

Its a great van matey and I watched you build it. My van is insured through the old A Plan office now Howden. Great people/Company 👍 Looking forward to your new current trip.

[@luckydevonpixie1975]

Ooh excited to watch this next tour. Thoroughly enjoyed the last one. Great to see everything in the pigeon TARDIS. When I was 15 my parents had a camper the fridge ran on gas it had a few lights nowt flash my mum made velvet curtains for it. Now it's so high tech, must make you feel confident to travel with a sense of anything is achievable.

[@Adz]

Thank you! Yeah I mean my last van was much more basic (and small) and it’s still an enjoyable experience. But when doing long trips I definitely prefer the convenience of certain things I have in this van

[@davekitchener9092]

Spot on build mate .. I'll be watching your adventure 100%..stay safe 👍👍👍

[@GDaviesLDGC]

Love the rear windows on the doors

[@tanfastictrancer-bowserapp8350]

Love your van Adz looking forward to your new adventure mate 👍

[@dannyhampshire2825]

Yes nice job on the van and looking forward to the new adventure

[@neilmick6778]

Ford's are fine, just service them more often than the recommended 2 year intervals for oil

[@mrvertigo23]

great build Adz

[@Adz]

Thank you!

[@brianreynolds4627]

Truly fantastic build, and a wonderful detailed tour…you’ve done an amazing job…wishing you a trouble free trip…I’ll follow along as you travel to the wonderful sites throughout your journey…take care…Brian

[@Adz]

Thank you Brian!

[@diwarburton5369]

Palatial. Absolutely the bees knees.

[@DarraghRedmond]

Just came across your video and fully along for the ride. Looking forward to seeing the adventures. . Thanks for the intro to the van as well. . Feel like we’re fully ready to go now. 😊 (may have a look at the Arctic adventures in the meantime. )

[@stevefrags3901]

Amazing van, love the grey look too. Also I spotted the alarm lockbox again 😂

[@maxineredfern3380]

Hi Adzs it was nice to have a good look round pigeon again lol, you did a really good job. Looking forward to seeing yr new adventure. Stay safe Adzs. Maxx

[@Adz]

Thank you! I’m filming as much as I can on this trip!

[@JLG57]

One of the best self builds I've seen to date, if not THE BEST!

[@Adz]

Thank you so much!

[@jasonvickers9035]

I actually found you looking at your Airtag video, but now I'm hooked and I'm about to revolutionize my van-life breakfast game! I converted my Vivaro a while back to escape tent life (seriously, so much gas and regret), but I've been on a mission to find a toastie maker that works on an induction hob. Enter the QPro…yes, I read the 'Does not work on induction' note on Amazon, but who believes everything on Amazon, right? And, plot twist, it DOES work! You, my friend, have single-handedly upgraded my toastie future. Weekend me is already living the dream! 🍞🔥"

[@Adz]

Yeah that pan is amazing! I had 3 toasties yesterday! Surprisingly there’s another one on Amazon that says it works on induction but it doesn’t 😂

[@1jwh1]

Just a bit more space and toys than the jellybean 👍 You have come and travelled a long way since. Lovely van mate,job well done Atb John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Adz]

Yeah it’s crazy to think how small the old jellybean was! Thanks mate

[@martprice7726]

So much in such a small space you made a fantastic job of it well done.👌

[@kodithebear]

Amazing. Good job dude. Also amazing job with your fine.

[@paultracer3787]

Good to see you doing so well brother.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Cracking Job, awesome van!

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

You're right Ads the 2.3 engine from the Iveco Daily is a super reliable engine but it's actually a Fiat engine. Service oil every 12k and timing belt every 70k and you'll never have a problem. 😊 I've done quite literally millions of miles in Dailies.

[@chuckwagon7354]

I hope you've patented the design of this beauty. I think leccy is better than gas. The way you have laid out the floor you can well throw some indoor raves should the weather prevent outdoor activities!

[@paulcleeve871]

Brilliant job have a great time

[@richardhunter8958]

What a legend love the van journey 🎉

[@naheemrazaq]

Can’t wait for the new adventure vids

[@janineorj_artist]

Great tour. Looking forward to these next vids 😊🐦

[@Adz]

Thank youuu! I’ve filmed so many already!

[@betagombar9022]

Your van is amazing, and you're amazing being able to turn your hand to such things. I had trouble just setting up my new Android phone 😂

[@Adz]

Thanks mate! Haha to be fair I hate setting up new phones! There’s far too many menus and settings 😂

[@ste7224]

We need more vids please, I'm kinda hooked 😂 also, it would be great if you can get a companion for the adventures!

[@ThrottleAddiction]

Some really good ideas there.

[@rezreaver]

Yeah your van is so sick looks amazing

[@Adz]

Thank you!

[@Clowningabout001]

Cracking build!

[@budgetmerch]

Nice job, fella. I LIKE it! 😁

[@Adz]

Thank you!

[@harrygiles1098]

Top Job Adz x

[@Wohojacko46]

Adz your van is absolutely brilliant 👏 , are you a joiner or electrician by trade ?

[@Adz]

Thanks! And no I had no experience before apart from doing a basic build during lockdown on in a micro camper. Just learnt as I went really

[@vanandcountry]

Well done. Looks great.

[@malcolmwhyte5856]

Nice! I like the diamond stitched black out curtain! I'm 2 months into my build and that is how I intend to finish my bench-bed. Thanks for the inspiration, Adz. Have a safe trip buddy and hope to see more Adzventures soon

[@Adz]

Thank you mate. And good luck with the build!

[@leebryantravels]

It is a cool tbf 👏🏻👏🏻

[@harryandlauren]

Shall we swap for a night? Bought vs built 🤭 one thing I am super jealous of, is the table by the bed.. I slept with my water bottle on Friday, and woke up soaked 😩

[@Adz]

We could actually do that. Although I think you should sleep in the mini! Haha get a little pouch pocket for your bottle!

[@Transit-mk8-camper]

Have a great trip buddy!! I'm curious to know, what happened with the Truma after all the issues last time?

[@EasyFold007]

Would love to see you travel the whole of Canada then down to the USA...over a 3month period....

[@Adz]

Hopefully that sort of trip will happen at some point!

[@fireblade9005]

Hey Adz ..thats the best looking MWB camper/ adventure van ive seen ..you should make them to order ..this time next year ..you'll be a millionair !!

[@Adz]

Thanks! Unfortunately with the free time I have spare. Each one would take approximately 5 years to build 😂

[@drac1st]

Wow the pigeon is better equipped than my flat. 😊. Where I live still gets powder cuts your power charger thingy 😅 would be great but even with the 10% discount it's still more than I can afford. D. 🇬🇧

[@BenShenton-oc6nv]

Love the channel and the build, where did you get your ceiling fabric from? Cheers bro 👍🏼

[@dave40612]

That is a top build you've done there. I'm guessing your Truma heating Trauma is now fully sorted? I think I may have found you another adventure when you're back in the UK!! I found a pub in Banbury called The 3 Pigeons, made me think how many others are there? With a bit of planning you could take the Pigeon on a quest to find more Pigeons 😉

[@craigyd71]

Awesome van

[@nataliebennett8958]

Love your camper Van, keep up the good work.Do you fancy building me one😂

[@Bill-01]

Mate, what a fantastic build. You're obviously a very handy lad. I wouldn't know where to start 🤣 I know you wouldn't dream of selling her now. But if you had to put a price on it, giving all the work and money you have spent. What would it be? Have a great trip looking forward to it 👍

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Love an MOT with no advisories. 😀 Nice build. I bet buying insurance took a long while if you listed all that lot?

[@mainwarc]

What a beauty…

[@doomolit]

Fantastic Built, but without permanent internal shower and an AC unit it's not an ideal setup, but that's just my personal opinion, since I live in a tropical climate, but overall, it's an impressive self built unit.. Congratulations. Cheers Mate..

[@Adz]

The shower is internal. It fits under my maxxfan so the steam gets extracted. AC is something that I’d love though! Thanks mate!

[@DaburaTheDemonKing]

I hope you have a meaty filter between the water tank and the outlet, the mould in that water level indicator doesnt look great and i dont want you getting sick

[@Adz]

It’s just a basic filter. I think it’s just some form of algae in the tube because light can get to it. But inside the tank should be good because it’s black. (I think!)

[@derektaylor2941]

Mr Adz, can I ask how you got on with Truma and their heater, please? I am currently watching your Arctic series for the second time and how you've built your conversion is very similar to what I've had in mind- though you've given me some excellent ideas for improvements. BTW the water inlet at 3:20 I'm glad you put this inside anyway. So many people are putting these connectors on the outside, underneath, for convenience- and then driving down dirty roads with the connector for their drinking water exposed. Urgh. I'm really looking forward to your new series. If it's anything like the Norway trip (which I am hoping to do similar next year) then it's going to be a damned good watch. All the best.

[@Shannon_Insync]

Love this! I'm considering doing something myself in the next couple of years. I've recently got a blue VW Caddy Maxi with a conversion kit currently but would eventually like something with a bit more room. Would you recommend doing the build yourself or pay for someone to do it? And is it possible to build an adventure van at a low cost? Cheers! Keep the vids coming!

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Never thought I'd see the guts off a piegeion

[@drac1st]

Wow the pigeon is better equipped than my flat. 😊. Where I live still gets powder cuts your power charger thingy 😅 would be great but even with the 10% discount it's still more than I can afford. D. 🇬🇧😢😅.

[@joemull91]

Winner! First view and first comment.

[@mauricethethespian8744]

HELLLLLAWWWWW luvvviiieeeee. I just h’appened to stumble upon you’ah channel from other van lifestyle pursuing individuals and am thoroughly enjoying it de’ah. Watched you’ah van build and about to embark on your Arctic journey which I am dearly looking forward to. I must ask, as I would so truly love to endeavour on this type of adventurous life… How to you supplement, financially, for this life. One must assume you work online. Thank’yahhh so much for this journey Adz luvvviieeeeee.

[@Adz]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the Arctic series as that’s my best work! I’ve been earning full time with KZbin for the last couple of years now so fortunately doing this is what pays the bills!

[@neilgeorge8952]

Absolutely superb

[@Adz]

Thanks Neil!

[@motodan5806]

Hi I'm new to your channel. You have created a fantastic camper and I really liked watching your adventure to the artic . Is your van 4x4? Or 2 wheel drive with studs and snow chains? Cheers Dan

[@RogerPerkin]

Love your van, can you remember where you got the blind for the sliding door from?

[@GavinDavies-tc6yn]

Stick the hard drives for the cameras in a hidden location. So if your van gets broken into they can not remove the evidence.

[@mikeymann6813]

Perfect in every way. 👌 is it your full time home? Is it MWB van? What did this cost you be interesting to no 👍

[@Roblovesbushcraft]

Wow that is one hell of a vehicle, if you ever want to sell it, give me a call, sublime.

[@ianschofield7350]

Keep changing the oil Adz , at least every 6k / twice per year .

[@rabadabadoo491]

Bangin!

[@stevesidare2493]

Impressive!

[@bbej2016]

Hope you've sorted your heating out it was playing about on your artic trip.

[@Adz]

I didn’t! But I’ve barely used it since the arctic. I should probably get it sorted soon but it works most of the time

[@bbej2016]

​@Adz have a good trip and stay safe and warm👍

[@Bokooda]

Happy adventures. Only eat the cooked scorpions, the raw ones are a little bitter. 🙏

[@griffdog7969]

Great Video Adz. Does your CCTV have night vision?

[@Adz]

Thank you! No i personally don’t like IR cameras as they are no good when water or spiderswebs get in the way and reflect the IR light. Mine have a very low lux rating though so although they’re not the best quality, things are still visible in low light

[@Ivan.endicott]

Hi Adz, what size is the van as looking at one myself to convert please? Is it a LWB or MWB? You've done an exception job on it as well 👍

[@wozza19681972]

Plus , I’m an ex wagon driver & I drove from London to Qatar delivering steel , I’ve got an old map of the trip I did , So if the pigeon are near hull , pop in for some bird food & a coffee 😂😂😂

[@JohnGBlackBelt53]

The vans looking good. Did you get the heater problems fixed?

[@Adz]

Thanks! Nah it’s still temperamental

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

So first its defo my fav van on the youtubes but second how much was it and the total build

[@vauxscott]

Awesome van! I'm using yours as inspiration for my own build, I can't quite stretch to your electrical setup but not far away! Any idea what the microwave is? I love the idea of no glass plate, hopefully its under 1kw?

[@Adz]

The microwave is the dometic one for motorhomes. I think it’s rated at 700w but microwaves always draw more power than their rating. It confuses a lot of people as to why. But it’s because the rating they give is the cooking power, not the electricity consumption. To be honest I’m not actually sure how much power this one draws but it should say in the technical specs on the website

[@vauxscott]

​@@Adz found it, thanks buddy! I hear you on the power ratings, it gets a bit scary when you do the maths on the DC current draw on the batteries.

[@paulmaxey73]

Hey, hope you're good. A mate of mine is looking for insulation for his caddy ( on the cheap. That liner material you use for the cab/rear divider Where did you get it..have you a link, please? As it looks like the material I have in my roof tent ..as a thermal liner. love the edits. Paul.

[@nicwilkin4743]

Adz what is the Black thing on the side of your van at the top. IV decided to buy a Bailey's Laura 69 4S, just wondered what you thought of them . I appreciate your a self build Guru, and you've built a pretty cool Van. Nicx P.S. you just answered my Question traction boards, ha ha you weren't in the north east recently were you I saw a Van just like yours with those on. I think your a bit mad in a nice way, but I find out about a lot of Gadgets and you say it as it is, if it's crap it's crap if it's good it's good and sometimes it's the ONE. PP.S. keeping fridge and freezer full will make it more economical to run , if you didn't know that already.

[@Ergyweldy]

Hi! Can you let us know what magnets you’re using for the traction boards? Amazing van!

[@Adz]

I can’t actually remember where I got them from unfortunately! They’re rubber coated big disc magnets with a threaded rod coming out the middle. Thanks!
