VAN BUILD Q&A... from our self built campervan. We talk about all things van, from build to travel.

[@Ade-refrigeration-guy]

How the hell can somebody leave a thumbs down. Funniest couple on youtube , soo natural.

[@campervibe]

Thanks mervan, we get one on every video as soon as we post, someone really doesn't like us much lol, oh well!

[@sjames8299]

You two are great. A breath of fresh air on u tube. I have just recently subscribed after finding your van vlogs...and the natural humour you have , which has me in stitches at times (which is good for us all!! ) I am 71 years young and could be your Birmingham 'Nan' . Please don't be too eager to go abroad for a while...keep safe girls and AJ and the lazy moggie... who is gorgeous. Sorry about the job Louise...you could make a good amount from 'merch' as I guess you know anyway....get Emily and Joanie on the old sewing machines...(NOT!)....also try other topics for vlogs as well as travel and van related ones.. I'm sure you could make them both funny and very watchable if you put your two mad minds to it. Here's to you going from strength to strength and doing all the things you aim for...Sue (alias B'ham Nan)...keep watching everyone and spread the word about Emily and Lou and the gang !!

[@campervibe]

Hi sue, that's so much, that means a lot. I (Lou) do a wicked brummy accent so could totally pull that off, Emily's is shocking however! Thank you for watching 😁😁

[@citydesk4527]

Just discovered your channel by watching your Peak District video, think we were there at about the same time, judging by the weather. I love the way that you have included so much space in your van. Also love the way that you are being so sensible and pragmatic about your vanlife dream being put on hold for the moment. I think this pandemic is teaching us all that patience is definitely a virtue. Keep up the great work!

[@campervibe]

Hi, we'd love to just say f*** it and go but it's just a bit too uncertain for us to risk wasting our savings on a half baked trip. Hopefully soon but it's just not looking good at the mont 🤞🤞 it won't be too long tho. Thank you for watching 😁👍

My money was on something to do with sport or training!lol I wasn’t to far off with Emily though, I was thinking office based. I had to laugh with Emily saying she wants a new van because of a cupboard 🙃 I’d definitely have a sticker if you make them, be great to support you guys somehow 👍🏼 I watched this with my girlfriend and she thinks you 2 are ace and she wants to watch the van build now so I get to watch it all again! , she’s slowly getting more interested in vanlife so let’s hope your vids sway her some more🤩🤩 thanks again guys!! Massive thumbs up 👍🏼

Hi Ant, no worries! Say hello to your gf from us, hopefully she will give the vanlife a bit more thought, it's not for everyone mind but for us it's Awsome, when we finally get back on the road lol!

Loved it, we've been married 37 years and dig at one another like you two. My mum says I'm the only person who can use the word "b.astard" as a term of endearment. We put c section on our motorhome and while we have a driveaway and full size awning we love our "cheap as chips" awning which goes up in minutes and isn't a "divorce in a bag". If you sikaflex c section you could move anything around whichever side the sun is on.

Only just started watching you guys... tbf you are FAF.... your interaction with each other is entertainment 100%. Are you going to the campervan show in Stratford? There will be self build and you tube people there end of Sept. You can sell some merch' 🤘😀 Louise totally get what you're saying about filming a van build, started to do ours and well many things missed out as it just takes a load of time, although not that far into out build yet. Keep safe ladies, good show.

Thanks deb, hope your build is going OK, it's a lot of work lol, worth it tho. Yes we will be at the show, it's going to be quite the event by the sounds of it, perhaps we will see you there. Thanks for watching 😁👍

Ps loving AJ he looks as chilled out as our 2 cockers.

[@sebxj25vm]

Why not just build a second high level cupboard on the passenger side? Then you will have extra storage space, Emily would get her cupboard - and Louise won't have to build a whole new van :-) Regarding the solar panel, I've installed a 200W Photonic Universe panel off Amazon - which is more square than others at 132cm x 99cm. Would that fit either lengthways - or at least not come so close to the sides, even when fitted widthways? Regarding the MaxxAir fans - are they really worth the extra expense, the extra power drain, and the reduction of light coming through the skylight? I've been in a motorhome in France several times when the temperatures were 30-40 Celsius during the day, with no forced ventilation. When it was hot, I tried not to park in the sun, but under a tree. Then, there is usually no need to spend the day inside the van when the weather is like that. Find some shade outside and relax on a comfy chair, or sunbathe, or go for a swim, or visit a shopping centre or supermarket with air conditioning :-). Also, with a door or window at the front open a bit and either one of the skylights or a rear windows open, a little pleasant draft can be created which is nice and cooling. Then again, if you want to leave a pet locked in the van, maybe a fan running constantly or kicking in automatically might be useful.

[@campervibe]

Hi seb, we can't just add another one as I wouldn't be able to sit up in bed without feeling very shut in, plus we don't have the weight left to add another cupboard and it's contents lol! I looked at the 200 watt solar panels but I felt for us we would definitely need at least 300w, and I couldn't find one small enough. Your right about the breeze tho, it's lovely when weve got the windows and skylights open, and cos the van is well insulated it rarely gets hot.

[@sebxj25vm]

You are right about sitting up space in the bed - I thought about it too, and I will reduce the height of the cupboard above the bed. We'll see how well that works when I get to it! Good point with the weight limit - I didn't think about it. I'll have to watch out as well not to get too close to 3.5t, as it will leave less choice in what I put in. Good luck with the van mods!

[@alun7175]

You both have a good sense of humour and are made for each other . Since I left the army I have not drank tea , I’m looking for a set of mud tyres for my van I have 225/75/15 on . But I will be putting the biggest that are safe for my van to 235/75/ 15 they will be mud tyres I could get 245/75/15s on but when the van is fully loaded they would rub . BREXIT will not stop you taking your pets to Europe after December the 23rd even if we leave without and trade deals. We have left the EU it’s just the deals that need sorting out but come September if no deals have been made we will be leaving with no deal . You will more likely get someone paying for you to go to the baths just to see you with your hat off

[@campervibe]

🤣🤣 Yes you are right about the hat thing lol!! Brexit won't stop us from travelling with our pets, but depending on which category we fall into we may have to have a blood test and then a 4 month wait before we can go, that's the worry. But we have got to a point now where we just don't care anymore and may just go anyway, sod it lol!! Thanks for the tyre info, it's deffo something we want to do, cheers for watching 😁👍

Great Q&A thank you both. There's much to comment on, but I'll keep it to just a couple. Really interesting that you decided to wait to marry rather than civil partnership, same here with Alex and me. Emily made me smile with "my draining board - my wok - my hoover" I guess that lets you off the hook for washing up, cooking, and cleaning, Lou. Stickers, yes I'd love one when they are ready. Not much space in my T4 for a sticker wall, but it will get pride of place on the cab roof lining. Talking of stickers, do you have plans for a sticker wall? I think that ply at the top of the rear doors would be perfect, I'd even send you one of my stickers to start you off (when they are delivered next week that is; I'm having stickers and van decals printed to my own design.) In my opinion you have future travel plans spot on. Europe is heading for catastrophe with covid if a vaccine isn't available soon. Take care xx

Nice Q and A I enjoyed watching it. I’d have a sticker for when I get my van wanna get some stickers for it haha. One question I was going to put to you but work made me forget. Is about Safety. I’m going to be a solo camper with my doggie. What are the best tips you can give me for safety for a solo camper. I mean I’m no wimp haha. But if you have any tips, would be great. Thanks both of you.

[@campervibe]

Hi lizz, thank you. The first thing we do is make the presence of a dog obvious. So we will leave his big bowl outside or something like that. Next, we have deadlocks on all four doors, it just makes it a bit harder and longerfor people to break in, giving us more warning that they are trying, hopefully enough time to jump in the cab and drive off. They're the main ones, then loads of others for when the van is left alone and I'm paranoid it's going to be stolen lol!

[@lizzwhitehouse9120]

camper vibe Hi thanks for the tips. I may say I’m not a wimp, But it can be a bit scary on your own. My dog is protective. So she is a little like an alarm. If she hears a noice she will be off and shouting I’m sure. I’ll take one of my golf clubs with me as well haha. Thanks though and keep enjoying your van life. One more little question for you.

When you mention Bio tablets do you mean Bio Washing tablets or Bio Toilet tablets? I see a lot using ALDI Bio washing tablets(other supermarkets are available). These are generally Biological not Biodegradable and aren’t great for the water system. I used fully Biodegradable Toilet fluid “one chem” cheap as on eBay and can be used in both tanks

[@campervibe]

But they go into our waste system if used in a washing machine or dishwasher?

[@theangrygingerthebananavan4207]

camper vibe they do, not good for Camp site waste points, especially septic tanks. Plus in a washing machine/dishwasher they are diluted a great deal. Biodegradable is good, Biological is not so good

[@campervibe]

If we are on a site we have the Thetford green one, because of the septic tanks, we used to run a holiday park with a septic tank so we know that issue. The bio friendly tablets we have that we use at home don't state biological or biodegradable but do state they are eco friendly, it's what we have been using in dishwashers and washing machines for years, we chose them because they state they are the most eco friendly, if that not true then that's a real shame as its how they are marketed.

[@UrbanVanlife]

lacks effort lol love it , and its tea tea tea for me , atv tires will lower your mpg and make motorways very noisy , unless your going to real off grid places then I wouldn't bother ,

[@campervibe]

Yeh the mpg increase will definitely bother me! I think we at least have to have all weather tyres for France so I'll do some research and see if I can find something that's perhaps half way.

Just curious, why does Emily want to move overhead cabinet from driver’s side to passenger’s side of van?

[@campervibe]

Hi Monica. Just for better weight distribution, all of our weight is on the one side and it worries her a bit.

PS from (bham Nan)....plse do t shirts at some point...and caps. Pretty sure they would sell well and help the finances in view of the 'you know what' in the room'...maybe just research it anyway. I would buy one or two and anything else you decide on....make them funny!!!! Your cat could do a video about not being in yours so far! ...keep healthy and happy. Sue

[@petemgw413]

Why not mount the cupboards on hooks, then put plenty of hooks all round the walls. Change of scene whenever you like? 😂 That was a joke but it's got me thinking....

[@campervibe]

😂😂 When I first started reading this I was like is he having a laugh, they're already in lol!! And then I saw that you was. The idea has merit tho, lots of people want Campers that serve as multi purpose, work, sometimes kids, long trip/short trip etc. So if the 'hook' system was up to the weight and vibration then I think it's an excellent idea!

[@petemgw413]

@@campervibe Actually, I just remembered that IKEA sell a rail mounting system for wall cabinets. You fix the rail to the wall and hang the cabinet on it, then secure the base. So yeah it could be an idea for some

Your house would rent easy, are you not letting it out for 12 months? If you end up travelling for longer it might be wise to hold onto the house as investment.

[@campervibe]

Hi Mark, we have thought about it, it can be so much hassle tho, and then we lose the option of using it for the short term, definitely longer term tho we may do it.

[@marks-0-0]

Cool, that's wise. I would definitely do the first trip with the house ready to come back to. Just watching the second half of the vlog. I thought the top locker was in the correct place for sitting up. Why does Emily want to move it? Sitting here laughing into my Spagbol!

[@campervibe]

Shes concerned about the weight distribution, cos all of our weight is on one side. I would have to move it over and then we would sleep with our heads on the opposite side of the bed. I've told her it's not happening though lol 🤣🤣
