Less than £25k for a masterclass van build WOW bloody amazing. If you two don’t get snapped up for your own TV series then there’s no justice in the world. You’re both pure gold.💪👌Here’s hoping for many more of your amazing projects

@@truebluetravellers Inverness is nice, and close to Culloden. I don’t know if he’s still there this time of year, but during summer there’s a chap that makes great pizza in a real wood fired oven in the back of his Defender, on the bank of the river opposite the castle. If you make it into Inverness you ought to check out Leakey’s bookshop, it’s one of a kind. Moving East along the coast, you can park at the Royal Navy/Royal Airforce heritage centre at Covesea lighthouse, Lossiemouth, and walk to one of the nicest beaches to be found. Go into Lossiemouth town and use the brand new footbridge to get to an even more spectacular beach. Go East from Lossiemouth towards Fochabers, and head North to the coast for the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre, Spey Bay. It’s a lovely spot with a nice gift shop and cafe. Keep heading East to Cullen, and there’s an excellent ice cream shop just down the hill from the town square parking, and just down from there is a cracking chippy - Linda’s Fish & Chips. Right on the square is Rockpool Cafe which is a good choice for Cullen Skink. Cullen also has a fabulous beach, and a charming harbour. If you head South from Cullen to Keith you can park easily on Mid Street - it’s parallel to the A96. At 156 is IG Thomson Butchers where my mate Derek works, and their stuff is all top notch (they’re our neighbours 😎). The Deli Shop across the road is an excellent place to get bags of “seconds” of biscuits, and almost anything else you might want - usually a good selection of Baxters soups made back in Fochabers. Bengal Spice a bit further up Mid Street is our local Indian Restaurant, and very good.

I personally love what you've done. Not just the van itself, but the fact of how you run this channel. You offer step by step guides on hwo to do things. You offer clear little practical tips that you've picked up and best of all you list the exact prices for things. This is EXACTLY how KZbin beats shitty TV these days. I can't sing your praises enough. And you were right about the bungies - the single metal rail to hold those boxes in the cupboards looks better. I'm defo surprised about how cheap the electrics were - the prices do seem to be coming down as tech improves.

You are really very kind and generous to not only explain the costs but to also prepare a spreadsheet for people to look at. Not only that, but you even provide an email address for people to contact you to ask where you got certain items! That is absolutely fantastic! So many channels on KZbin will not share this information. I understand people wanting to keep finances private and also information about certain items that are one-offs or not readily available, but I can't get my head around why people won't share information about things anyone can order online or buy at a shop. The both of you differentiate with your honesty and transparency and as a result, I sincerely hope that your channel deservedly grows massively. Won't you need to change your tyres to winter ones if driving in snow and ice or will you be using snow chains? Depending on the country, you may be legally required to fit proper winter tyres. I've tried off-road all-season tyres here in Japan. They are useless in comparison with proper winter tyres and in anycase, we are required to fit winter tyres by law if travelling in snow country.

An Epic Build for Epic upcoming adventures far and wide. Jon did miss a trick of adding one last Tool talk Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing you first real trip away. I have started to look at Supermarket Delivery Vans in a very different light and it looks like it is only the Sainsbury van and possibly Waitrose Van, not had on stop long enough to have a proper look round. the Box looks to be slightly longer too. I thought you were in Sandringham before you said that was were you were. Spent a far bit of time wondering around there with my Girls before they started to not want to do days out like that. It won't be long before they start to not want to come away with us. I think they now use proper Auto boxes on Sprinters now after the problems that sprint shift. Our is finally going into a Garage in Monday to have the Gearbox issue sorted and whilst they have it fix an oil leak and change the rear shocks as they are very crusty, and my drive isn't the best place to be jacking up the Motorhome to change them myself.

@@truebluetravellers Not expecting it to be cheap. Labour will run the cost up. Especially because of the awkward to work on factor with it being an A Class Motorhome, changing the headlight bulbs is a major faff, and it easier to buy new mounting lugs and just thump out the unit and replace broken lugs when about to refit it. As you have to get past the remains of the old inner wings before you hit the void to the side of them where the lights are housed. What you gain in space on the inside without the length you pay for when thing need fixing in the engine bay.

Amazing build. Youre absolutely right those spinter autos are a brilliant drive. The next model definately not though. Later autos are very laggy on low speed rolling starts such as give way junctions. Sometimes you put your foot down a bit to continue and nothing happens. So you give it a bit more and nothing. So a bit more gas then BANG it kicks down very agressively and shoots forward. Theyre just a pain but can be made better by using the paddles to manually kick down or just come to a full stop junctions like that though that isnt always possible with traffic behind.

Try and get a second camper that is fully equipped to your specifications in perfect technical order, no repair, brand new interior ready to go for 25 grand, I don't think so. You will never find anything like it... so you saved money. On top of that and this is the big one. You did it together and created memory's to treasure for the rest of your life and by doing that, created video evidence of the howl process helping others wist providing entertainment for all to watch. If that isn't a cool thing, I don't no what is. I have therapy enjoyed the journey with you watching you build your camping van and wish you the best holidays possible in it in the future. Can't wait for the next build.....😊

Brilliant guys. Well done it does look amazing love the bloopers 😂😂taking the labour out of you done well to build it on good decent budget.we just been quoted £20,000 to have our 2015 vauxhall vivaro minibus turned into camper van I did think of doing it myself but don’t think I am up to task I ain’t too clued up on the electrical side of it. We have coach built motor home just fancy the mini bus as second one for doing tight access routes as it would be ideal.
