How Many Men Does It Take To Set Up A Caravan?

[@Diwondermum]

Just shows that this wasn’t the first time they had moved a caravan!! Such professionalism on display! Those men should be proud of their efforts! Well done!!

[@jillychandler]

What a fantastic job those men did! They deserve a medal each I feel! xxx

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They certainly do

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

What a process! You never realize the work involved until you see it being done.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

We had no idea! Great work from them

[@johnkelly6942]

As the saying goes, “just because we make it look easy doesn’t mean it’s easy”. Nicely done.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

And they did make it look like they do this all the time 🤞

[@brianduffy1338]

(Joan here). Another fascinating clip on the caravan installation. Those guys were great! FYI, I cannot believe I can be so fascinated by the delivery and placement of a caravan.

[@Bobrogers99]

That's a good sized manufactured home! I suspect they thought it would be easier to place than it turned out to be. There will be hassles to install the plumbing and electrical connections, but the biggest hurdle is done!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

That actually said it wasn’t their most difficult delivery 😳

[@PatGilliland]

Great seeing a Land Rover being used for what it was designed for rather than just running the children to school or a quick shop at Sainsbury's.

[@almac2598]

Absolutly, surprised they didn't have any sand mats to put under the wheels tho', can't have been the first time they encountered mud and I don't know if that model has a diff lock.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

🤣

[@Tailss1]

Yeah 'cause anyone who drives a Land Rover wouldn't shop at Tesco 😂

[@franceswatts4001]

@@Tailss1 Waitrose car parks are allegedly full of Land Rovers.

[@warrenbaker4181]

using the tree stumps as turnbuckles was a clever idea

[@theoldstationrenovation]

I know right! Absolute professionals.

[@julielumsden5184]

I’m guessing you didn’t expect them to run into so many obstacles. They did an amazing professional job

[@theoldstationrenovation]

We didn’t but they said it was a typical delivery, took it in their stride 👍

[@daanh8194]

massive credit to Paul and his mates - that was some incredibly impressive steering and shoving there!!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

What a team, it was like a military operation!

[@shed66215]

How it should be done, one person giving clear instructions as to when and how to move - nobody shouting over each other as to go this way or that way.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Absolutely, a really well drilled team!

[@tracybush8115]

WOW! That was intense and so skillful - those guys really take their jobs seriously. Credit to Caravantastic.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Great company, it was like a military operation!

[@irenebrown8363]

Hi this really was a team effort well done to all

[@franceswatts4001]

The shot of the caravan from the station itself gave me an odd vision that it was actually rolling stock sitting on the tracks. That driver’s biceps must have been aching for days - great teamwork.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

It’s been 60 years since anything that size has rolled along that bit of land! 🚂

[@pauldelcour]

I'm surprised I kept watching the whole process, fascinating in an unexpected way. Looks like cosy living for a while...

[@jackiep691]

What an amazing service they gave . Didn’t give up when the going got tough. Great company to buy from very impressive.❤

[@theoldstationrenovation]

We agree! 🚂

[@johndonlon1611]

Now you have decent living quarters and won't have to cut corners or MacGyver utilities in the station while you're living inside of it just to make things work. (like the previous owners did with that creative attic plumbing). Thanks for sharing and press on.

[@rontanser9369]

Wow, those guys worked their socks off. I hope you Supplied them with plenty of tea

[@theoldstationrenovation]

We should have done but the water was still off after the leak brought the ceiling down ☹️ Thankfully they had supplies!

[@MYJ61]

That delivery blows my mind! In the US, a caravan that size would have had 2-3 axles, and been towed in like a camping caravan, but behind a commercial lorry.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Wow, that would be incredible!!

[@MonicaWolford]

Wow! I can't believe they got that in such a tight space.

[@sandraengstrand2784]

This is just jaw-dropping excitement and fear all mixed together!! What an amazing crew!!! Plus a delicious housewarming basket 🥳 And also: the view behind the station is spectacular!! ❤

[@theoldstationrenovation]

It is a beautiful view, can’t wait to see it every morning! 😃

[@MichelleS-Gamer]

Anyone else think that the land rover needed more traction on those tyres? Good work team!! I'm excited to see how this train station will look once finished. I've seen some amazing ones on YT so far.

[@synicyst9925]

That was some intricate manoeuvring. I was worried you would have holes in your fence a couple times. They did a great job in what looks like adverse conditions.

[@rochellenowik9875]

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the skill of these guys. I liked the double images to get a sense of what was going on.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you, such helpful feedback

[@lindaroyal8161]

Wow, very impressed! It's pretty amazing that they could turn the corner to get it straightened out. They worked hard, certainly earning their pay check. Great job everyone!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They certainly did 😁

[@siameseire]

There's so much Beautiful Light pouring into your living and dining area!! You can enjoy a cozy winter and then see spring begin to bloooooom.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

I can’t wait, now that there is a daffodil out the rest of the flowers and leaves won’t be far behind!

[@priscillawatson7049]

wow...that man getting under it had me covering my eyes....so glad it's done with no further problems. enjoy it!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

I know what you mean!! They had it totally under control though, really professional job.

[@abigailgerlach5443]

What a great job! Talk about inserting Tab A into Slot B!!! In the States, we call that "turning on a dime!" Heck, I'm impressed! They are magicians! Have a great week! Blessed Be!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

You too

[@SyedAsadHasnainBukhari]

Tough job to put the caravan in desired place but nicely done by these professionals. Bravo 👍🏼 Shall wait for the next step: electricity and plumbing Ciao

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Hard work but they absolutely nailed it. No fuss, no panic just skill and graft on display!

[@stevenmoran4060]

Caravantastic do offer and provide an excellent service. Hopefully this video will do them some good too. Once you are connected up then the real hard work starts. Looking forward to seeing the restoration as it goes along and breathes life into the old station once again.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you! They deserve all the praise they’ve had from you and the other people who have commented, we were so lucky to find them!

[@PhilG0BVD]

Caravan will make a nice ABnB when restoration complete ;-) Great company what a brilliant service they provide. That was true teamwork at its best.

[@waredog6966]

Me again. It's so refreshing to see the efficiency of the British workforce. One man in charge calling all the orders. This would have taken 3 days in America. Tip of the cap to the Caravantastic crew. 🎉🎉

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you, they weee amazing and all directed so well by Harry 😁

[@judymills3599]

Hiya from Australia. That would have been a heart in mouth experience but what an awesome result. 10 out of 10 for them thinking out of the square to attach the loader and winch to pull it to it's final resting spot. You will enjoy your time renovating the old station now with home at the end of each day only a few steps away. Thank you for allowing us to share your adventure.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed. We’re so pleased we’re going to be on site from now on, it’ll give us a chance to get into all the little jobs we’ve not been able to around to whilst the big stuff is going on.

[@Klingon2468]

that was a lot of work, they did a really good job. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@marty1610]

Wow took a long time, this should allow you to spend more time renovating, can’t wait for more 😀

[@andrewsteele7663]

Great to see chaps who know what they are doing and make it look simple. Cheers

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They are absolute pro’s, so lucky we found them.

[@robertalan1]

At the end when you close, smile. The last episode you said you were so very excited, I think you almost smiled.

[@lesleyharry6885]

Wow, what an amazing crew, didn’t they do well, credit to all the guys on a fantastic job. Now your hard work starts. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

[@garyphillips7993]

Well, that took some doing. Surprised they stuck with it, not many companies would have.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

These guys are made of stern stuff!

[@simikatra2200]

Here in America we call it a mobile home. It's very nice looking

[@millywood6801]

Well done those lads, true professionals.

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Excellent workers - proud of what they do. Really lovely and cosy parkhome. Exciting times now !

[@steveyates2091]

If I were to ever buy a Caravan ....these guys would be top of my list !

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They were great, they’ve done a very nice blog post about our visit and purchase as well. Pleasure to do business with!

[@jamesrivis620]

Bloody geniuses !!! You got an amazing group of guys from CARAVANTASTIC !!!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Absolute legends! It’s so impressive when a team just roll up and get the job done with no fuss.

[@martyb3783]

Home Sweet Temporary Home! I am sure it was a relief getting that put into place. Great video!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Certainly was! I won’t need a gym membership with work like this going on!

[@davidstafford803]

I hope the installation team had a sense of achievement after that one, it certainly seemed like a challenge.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They certainly earned a nice pint!

[@myfathersdaughter324]

I'm thrilled to see your temprary home has finally taken her place at the old station. Yay 👏❤🎉

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you, can’t wait to get in there now 🥳

[@tanyacurtis2884]

Wow, putting those caravans on sites is an art in itself. Glad it all went well.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

It’s brilliant when you have a team of professionals who just come in and get the job done with no fuss!

[@petertatham-cw2oq]

They were amazing guys it’s a nice looking van you have there it was worth the price you paid to get the van where it is fantastic.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you! 😊 🚂

[@siameseire]

You'll finally get to make your cozy nest on site. 😊 You can take your cup of morning coffee or tea and roam the station and the grounds and Be Home. As the weather warms up, you can have some meals in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. Happy Congratulations. ☺ When you have time, it would be lovely to see the views from the bedrooms, etc. Happy nest building.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you very much! I’m really looking forward to moving my BBQ to the shelter so we can cook and eat outdoors. With that keeping the rain off the weather will have to be really bad to get me indoors. And as big morning coffee drinkers, a morning roam is a lovely thought 😊

[@johnstuart8511]

At least we saw Land Rover be putting up to the test. "What a machine". I would like the bush looking towards the bridge to be gone. Would make a perfect view. Thanks for another amazing video. Action all the way. Regards 🇿🇦.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Great bit of kit that Land Rover! We’re going be thinning out the bushes there as it’s too much at the moment…. Also that’s where I want to put my garden bar 🍻

[@irenefitzpatrick6480]

Phew! What a lot of manoeuvring to put it in place! Worth it though because you’ll have a warm, dry place to live. 😊

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Absolutely! We’ll be in there for a while so good job it’s comfortable 😊

[@barrywood5357]

Give those guys a pat on the back such expertise is hard to come by nice one crack on

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They are absolute pro’s! So lucky to have found them.

[@robdeaton9910]

Yes those blokes were brilliant the way they maneuvered the caravan in that tight spot. Like you said now time for power, water and sewer. Things are looking up. Great editing by the way with those various angles you shot from.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thanks so much

[@franceswatts4001]

Absolutely agree about the editing! I haven’t seen anything like it before.

[@Kitty_cat2001]

Bloody hell that was nerve wracking. The Carvantastic guys were great. Australia 🇦🇺

Absolutely brilliant crew, it was like a military operation!

[@user-Tortured-soul]

❤That was some shift, those men were brilliant. You both made the right choice of caravan it looks so homely and comfortable looking forward to seeing you all living in it. All the best.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you, we’re really looking to getting in!

[@sean-wh3it]

What a great advert for them they went above and beyond

[@buffy5kt]

Wow! Just wow. What team work. I'm not sure I could have watched the install in real time. Just watching the video gave me anxiety. God bless you as you settle in!

[@leecarlson9713]

I seriously considered just zipping to the end, but decided I would type, instead.😁

[@SyncMan172]

That Landrover certainly needed a rest after that too!!. Great work to everyone, what a day eh!

[@ncdave4]

Great job from the guys.. they sure know what they're doing...

[@LTFC1964]

The amount of caravans Caravantastic are now going to sell will be insane after seeing this vid. A more professional and dedicated team you are unlikely to ever come across again. Fantastic The twin view you gave was a masterpiece; really showed just how difficult the task was and how impressive it was too.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They deserve to! And thank you, Laura is working really hard on improving the videos 😊

[@lesthiele4921]

That was a truly excellent job to all concerned, once you get all the plumbing andvelectrics done, it will be ' home sweet home' to you all, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Always love your comments from Australia 🇦🇺

[@leighsmith5930]

I'm concerned about that pond of green water. Love the work .

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you! The pond is very green, doesn’t look like it’s had any attention for many years.

[@maryannrodriguez5647]

They did an amazing job. I hope you gave them a large tip ;]

[@grabowskycountry]

Toasts to the Crew. 🍻 When you figure the decent price you purchased the trailer for and to have it set in place by the experienced crew it really is a find. Happy move in and let your lives be more settled in the community. Cheers

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@dereknash3638]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, love the viewing angles did not realise that was going to be the final position, they did a great job, looking forward to seeing the station rebuild, fantastic view behind the caravan.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thanks 👍

[@treedruid]

4 men and 2 vehicle's can move a caravan into place. You just need a plumber and an electrician to get it hooked up to services, and you'll be all set to move in. P.s It is good luck to give your caravan a name. The dual camera perspective is a wonderful and interesting addition . Looking forward to your continuing progress.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you! I didn’t know it was good luck to give it a name, I’ll be consulting with Laura when she gets home. We’ve got people lined up to get the utilities on, as soon as it’s done we’re in 😊

[@acsberean4092]

Nice view from the second floor!

[@vickiephilpitt7697]

It was fascinating to watch this! Excellent idea to have drone recording as well as it showed the whole struggle within the area to place this trailer. Great job, everyone!

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you! 😊

[@dianebaker5243]

[@iwona7297]

Ahhhh, my goodness. I could not do that job, nerve wracking!Ufff . Fantastic team work. Hope you enjoy your caravan and the journey of renovating the old station. You have your work cut out but there are always blessings in difficult situations.

[@Pikaxsu]

I was holding my breath probably most of the time. But what a incredible professionalism from the Caravantastic team - that team should be called CaraFantastic!! With that level of service, I want to move in their caravan from the other side of Europe ! What we have seen in your videos, their service from beginnig to the end has been incredible!

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

Congratulations on another step forward. I hope all of you enjoy your new temporary home.

Oh wow, ai was thinking it was going to be parked in the same direction as the driveway But I love it

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Facing the station, so we can see as it develops

[@romad357]

Fantastic! I liked the way you used P-N-P to show different views of the same action. I know you said they didn't charge for delivery but I would have given them a very good size tip to have a beer after all that work!

[@asmrbydebbie]

They really did a wonderful job getting that in place. ❤

[@markclifton14]

Wow what a job. It almost looked to big to fit. Well done guys. I bet you now feel relieved it’s in. Can’t wait for you to move in . And start the renovation. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@167curly]

Amazing skills maneuvering your new (temporary) home into position.

[@joedannunzio9416]

I erected mobile building for 20 years and believe me them guys made an easy job look hard. But so long as your happy, that's the main thing.

[@Kristina_Australia]

What fantastic communication skills those guys have. Each one has a role and they did it marvellously. Awesome effort gentlemen 👏🙌. Still can't believe you call that a caravan 😅 here we call that a mobile home. I'm sure your looking forward to being on site as it will make it easier with your renovation time and finance wise.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They were brilliant, I can’t speak highly enough of them! You are right, it is a mobile home but I lived in one as a kid and always called it ‘the van’. Old habits! 😂

[@siameseire]

the first dark bulb spears poking up are infinitely mysterious!!! Daffodils are pure sunshine and joy. 😊

[@theoldstationrenovation]

They are an absolute joy, first sign of spring 🌷

[@colleenvarlow8764]

What an amazing team who placed the caravan! Wow. Thanks for sharing. Glad you will be able to move in shortly.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Fantastic company 👏 👌...I am so glad you picked that lay out I was hoping you would 😀...All the best ❤

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you! 😊 They were brilliant, we’re so pleased and how it went 😃

[@margaretorden7568]

What great team work and a red letter day for you. Renovating the station will be so much easier when you are on site and you won’t have to live in all the mess and dust. My mother’s father and brother were railway signalmen and my mother and three siblings were brought up in a small house near the railway station in Paerata in New Zealand.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

We’ve lived through a renovation in our current house, it was a very tough time! There just seemed to be a permanent layer of dust on everything. I’ll be very happy to have somewhere clean and comfortable to retreat to. I googled Paerata railway station and then spent 15 minutes reading about New Zealand railways 😂

[@daydreambeliever6603]

I’m pretty sure that is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!😮

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Thank you, they were awesome 🤩

Thank you so much 😁

[@ginanoble7203]

That company is amazing,great effort guys

[@rob-time]

The kid in my is thinking of how much fun it would be to be inside the caravan when it was being moved about. The gift basket is a really nice touch. Welcome home.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

I imagine it would have been like rough seas! Basket was a lovely tough, Laura says we can't touch it until we move in.

[@tonib9261]

Very impressive watching skilled folks just arguing that thing into place. The Americans, of course, it had to be, are always moving these transportable homes on, off, and around sites, often with difficult terrain, so they have a machine to do the job, a House Tug, replacing grift with a radio controlled robot. A marvel to watch in action, several examples on YT.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

Wow, I just went down a little house tug rabbit hole on YT! They are amazing!!

[@mskay949]

Very nice, they did an amazing job and it looks like it’s gonna be nice and cozy living there. In the US we call them house trailers or mobile homes. I never heard them called caravans before.

[@theoldstationrenovation]

It’s a British thing I think, lots of people who have them as holiday homes say they are “going down the caravan for the weekend”. It is a mobile home though, I know as I lived in one as a kid!
