[@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

[@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

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 ❤😊

[@JonathanSpooner]

I've got a camper van and a canvas bell tent with log burner. One thing I can say is canvas holds heat. If you've got the diesel heater on in your van given heat rises the popup roof bed could potentially be the warmest part of your van... personally I'd go with the pop top as I can only guess your going to need as much room as possible in the van

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for your advice and yeah you may be right x

[@Jazzidoodle]

Canas is a nightmare when wet

[@LITTLEMANADVENTURSES]

I can’t wait to see how the van turns out the layout with the pop up roof sounds awesome 😊👍

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. 😊👌

[@umnounou]

Really missed you guys happy to see your back Iam originally from Scotland but now live in Algeria I built my own van here with my son it was my dream but the husband not so Keen on camping so ended up selling it after just one trip I miss it loads even just sitting in it on the drive I felt happy😊

[@TheRollingRucks]

Sorry to hear you had to sell it! We have felt lost without ours for only a few months hope you manage to get another one x

[@randlcars4582]

Well you guys are doing well we have made an enquiry to get a van converted and theres a 12 month wait 🙈

[@TheRollingRucks]

We have an 8-12 week lead time but yeah thank you very busy xx

[@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

Hi, we love your channel. We are thinking of getting a roller team 746 apart from the floor issue would you recommend it? Also how good are Solent? As we have found one with them. Any advice would be greatly welcome and appreciated. Many thanks belle

[@TheRollingRucks]

We bought ours from Solent ….. nice people just check the floor if you purchase 2019-2021 models

[@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

[@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

[@Sandkicker-p3m]

Really sorry to hear about the downsizing but I'm sure with the cost of living, kids growing up, business rate hikes etc it means a lot less sleepless nights for you both. Good luck with the new van conversion

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you we are downsizing for the adventures xx

[@Vandaloo-Adventures]

Quick question for you Stu, I'm looking at buying and converting a Luton van (low loader) just for the better space. Any thoughts on them and have you got any in the pipeline?

[@helenreasbeck1348]

Hi Guys, missed you and wow what a 😁smile ! With a growing family and struggles for sleeping space, I know Stu wants his garage for storage but have you thought about a top box for your table and chairs etc., and then it gives you more room for a bed for Amelia ?

Legend!!! Thank you didn’t think of that yes bring the sunglasses next week haha save them eyes x

[@mavicsteve9275]

It makes business sense, have it down as a demonstrator use it keep it twelve months build another sell it and it will cost nothing to run. Nice one.

Thank you appreciate it c

[@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

[@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

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

[@JoeProDecor]

There is no perfect vehicle, it's either too small to be comfortable or too big to park in alot of places. Unfortunately there is no balance as you will always ideally want the opposite to what you have. The best option is to decide which one is more important and adjust to it , unless of course you have a KZbin channel and want the clicks....lol

[@TheRollingRucks]

Yes that’s what we have realised and to be fair we only sleep in there mostly outside adventuring and would rather the tight spots x

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

[@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

[@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]
