Van Tour After 4 Years - SELF BUILT DIY CAMPER VAN - 2024 Van Tour

Here is my latest van tour, after so many upgrades and changes I thought it was about time that I updated you wonderful people on the changes since I made my last tour video - Lots have changed and I am guessing there are still more changes to come in the not too distant future.
Stay awesome you lot and above all, be kind...
Because there were so many links, there wasnt enough space in the description to show them all, so I have created a PDF and you can download it here Here (I have also included the video links too)

At last, a van tour without waffle. Well done

9:55 My cover from my toilet arrived today 😊

Sad day, Colin, I'm now permanently vanless. After four years of travelling (just about) every day in Gandhi, my beautiful bay leaf green T6.1, I've had to call it a day. Poor health and advancing years (nearly 70 of them) have made it more difficult to go camping, more difficult to use it as my everyday car and I couldn't stand the thought of it sitting on my driveway looking sad and lonely. Don't worry though, I'm staying subscribed and you won't hear the last of me on here or on the DOC Facebook thingy. Keep up the travels, the vids and the photography mate, and hopefully we'll bump into each other one day 👍 nice!!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ah mate, sorry to hear that but also thanks for staying subbed too... It's just a new chapter in your life. You can adventure in different ways now buddy.. All the best

[@CarlyTownend]

We just toured Scotland, started at the dales and trails then up to Scotland and everywhere we stayed we saw on your videos 👍 thanks for the inspo

[@kevkingsnorth9222]

Aye up Colin we are up at Wallace Lane Farm in Wigton- pitch with the hot tub! Hey it’s everything you said it is ace! Cheers again for recommending it👍

[@Rex-the-T6]

Don't think i've laughed so much. absolutely love it

[@ronnyrhodes68]

Fantastic review of your van keep the videos coming your adventures are amazing and uplifting on these miserable wet days 😊

[@Errol-Sandy]

Great tour Colin

[@joethefish45]

Nice one Colin

[@hornetfronty]

Hello sailor! Just love the girly bunting! 😉 Agree with first upgrade, alloys. Totally transform the van. Can't believe you haven't had the van remapped. The difference it made to my Transit was amazing! Put a massive 😀 on my face!

[@junglierich8448]

That was ace! I lost it at the ‘swinging table’ - ordinarily not a problem except I was sat on a train! 😂… then you kept the funnies coming. Brilliant Col, straightforward no fuss stuff that just works because it does and if someone doesn’t like it whatev’s, just 👍🏻

[@robertbrock3079]

... and breathe, 100mph tour of your van - brilliant! 👏

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Still out of breath 😂😂

[@paulbower5274]

as they say. one life , live it , and you are .👍👍

[@ScottishVanTrips]

Dude, your production just went up a gizillion percent! That was flipping awesome!

[@martinlovatt3245]

Great video quick and straight to the point. No faffing about or waffle. All interesting. 👍

[@irenedale5256]

Great video Colin, I love all the things you have done to make Jeff so homely/comfortable. Love Michelle’s bunting - makes me want to make some for our van. Looking forward to next week’s video. Stay well and safe.

[@dolceitalia5846]

Brilliant video and so right about the pop-top rule of thumb, in the wind. Last year I was on a beach front campsite & in the night, a storm started and was blowing at 40mph!!!! I couldn’t get the roof down in fear of bending the struts but thankfully, the roof stayed solid! 😅 Never want a repeat of that again!

[@zoltar666pz]

Just found you wow great video mate ps love the outtakes

[@George_the_VW_Crafter]

Great video. Never go on ebay when you have a few. Things turn up a few days later 😂 I need some go faster tape also 😂 Drew

[@tomkrigby]

This reminded me of the Fast Show. Brilliant!

[@stevetee7801]

This is genuinely hilarious. Thanks Colin.

[@InsideOutVirtualTours]

Great vid. I got a shuttle T5. Need to set out the back. Want a “sofa” down one side and a “worktop” down the other All will be hand made (all about saving the monies). Few ideas here that I’ll be implementing. Cheers for the great down to earth no bs vids. Great stuff !!

[@jasonnicol8302]

lol ‘just get in your car and f£&? Off’ in the outtakes. Great overview of the van, many changes over the years to Jeff. Will have to do the centre console solution for our van, cup holder we have are 💩 and cups constantly fall out.

[@jamie__simon]

Very nice now. Changed alot since the beauden's generator days, I've got quite alot of videos to catch up on. Great video

[@Meggy6571]

Hi, We are Yorkshire folk, (Wakey). You asked we subscribed, nice, plus it's free 😅. Great comical vlog. The van looks great, keep up the good work. All the best going forward. Paul and Joanne 👍 😊

[@pauljervis]

Cracking video love how tweaked over time to suit how you use it. Wish I had diy skills you have.

[@Chris_Carini]

Nice build. Thanks for sharing.

[@shaunpbass8351]

Great video mate once again.Thanks very much for sharing with us👍

Love this! 😆 Best van review I've seen 🤙

Absolutely brilliant loved your thoughts made me chuckle cheers keep it going💯

Nice...love your swinger table😅

[@ossieo6367]

Fantastic vlog love the channel love the van 🎉❤

[@user-pf6ep6iu9p]

Great video cheers 🍻

[@DS-cf1zc]

1st - no idea how that happened. Nice update - some interesting additions, and I have probably watched the videos of updates you have produced and watched the progress of this one.

[@DS-cf1zc]

And the toilet cover is the best bit of kit you ever suggested - I successfully bought one before the company quietly disappeared off the face of the earth - no matter how hard I try looking - and I know they were Spanish, but they are no longer able to do these wonderful items.

[@Mikeandtheboys]

I keep meaning to ask if you miss your sink/hob. Now I don’t need to 👍🏻

[@vivnutter2156]

Hells bells lad. I’m exhausted nowx

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Me too 🤣🤣

[@mikebarton7027]

Swinging table 😳

[@paulbrown276]

Hi Colin yet again another great video. How did you tint your rear lights and what did you use. Thanks

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, with lots of swearing 😂😂 I got light tint film from a local supplier in Bradford. Used a heat gun and had about 6 attempts before getting it right 😂

[@paulbrown276]

Thanks for getting back in touch. I'll have a go this weekend. I wish you'd stop the videos. You're costing me a small fortune 😂😂😂. Have a good weekend.

[@Ian_N05]

As a recent T6 owner your van build / DIY videos have been so useful! As have the camp site reviews. Thanks for all the hard work, it’s a brilliant channel 🙌

[@bobkennedy621]

Great video with some great updates to your van, I like the rubber band around the pop top, what did you use and where did you get it.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ah thanks so much, it's called a pop top bungee, type that in Google and loads will come up. They are all pretty much the same :)

[@bobkennedy621]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Thanks very much.

[@wandango5913]

Great video, have you got a link for the matting in the back? It’s not on the attached pdf file on Dropbox

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, it should be on the amazon shop link in the description 😊

[@veedubdad]

Hiya I like the idea of connecting the Delta up to wall socket. How did you do that?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

It's just a desk mounted extension lead plugged directly in to the ecoflow and then I drilled a hole in the cabinet to mount it ;)

[@stephenoseman3579]

Hi love your videos did you do a video on the privacy black cab divider curtain that you fitted as i can't find it and im thinking about fitting one for when im wild camping thanks Steve

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey, I don't have a video on it as it's not really an install. I take it out in summer so it just slots in on the extending curtain pole temporarily when in use then gets removed :)

[@stephenoseman3579]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Hi thanks for the reply

[@stevemaish8]

Enjoying your videos as someone who is just about to take the plunge and buy a VW - I’d be interested to know how your dog travels when you’re on the move (I have a black lab). Do you secure him/her? Thanks

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, that's awesome news. We use a harness and a seat belt attachment (clips in to an empty seat belt holder) hope that helps

[@stevemaish8]

Ok thanks! I’ll look into them. Keep up the great work!💪🏼

[@christinamacintyre9972]

Do you have a video re you tinting the back lights?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Sadly not mate, it would have been too sweary 🤣🤣

[@chrisdavison2022]

It's better to look 'at' a fire extinguisher that it is to look 'for' it... I know you say it's away in a cupboard but still...

[@peteradams5728]

Did you fit your awning rail yourself ? I have a pop top and would like one that goes under it as well. Cheers.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yes I fitted it, it's not brilliant though. If I had another go I'd get somebody else to do it 😂

[@peteradams5728]

Your elastic that you got around your pop top canvas..... where did you get it from???

What martyn said 🤣🤣! Mines from amazon but there are loads about

[@InsideOutVirtualTours]

Hi. Hope your well So I have a T5 (non converted van). How would you feel about someone tabbing along for a few days this year (I have 10 days holiday left for work and need an escape). Got the kit to soundproof and insulation (not installed yet) Want to create a vid from T5 shuttle standard to a full on camper. Not started yet… DOH. But will be starting very soon

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I wouldn't mind at all matey. Email me at [e-mail] and we can see if we can sort something out

[@InsideOutVirtualTours]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures coolio. Will drop an Email

[@stevezodiac491]

do you know there is a new MOT rule for changing head lights. If you only change the bulb for an LED then it is an MOT fail. You have to change the whole light and dedicated to a LED housing, to pass the MOT. I bought some ledperf LED light bulbs and asked my garage to fit them, he said he could but he would immediately have to fail the van on the next MOT because of the new rule.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks for the info, good for others reading it too. Having spoken to the MOT centre today. The daytime running lights aren't an issue. If the main beam has been incorrectly upgraded (and some other stuff he said that I didn't listen to 🤣) then it could be an issue :)

[@kevinmaw2857]

Nice video but where do you put your clothes, mine or should I say my wife’s take up most of my largest cupboard 🤣🤣

[@DS-cf1zc]

I convinced my wife to use those packing cubes - and gave her the same number as me - mine look fine, hers look distorted and so jammed packed that I fear for the zips. 🤣

[@kevinmaw2857]

@@DS-cf1zc got the same but somehow I have 1 and my wife has 3, but guess what she’s always missing something or has nothing suitable to wear 🤣🤣🤣

[@DS-cf1zc]

@@kevinmaw2857 Dont tell me, you also carry an extra case, usb straighteners, and other tat that adds zero value to your holiday. I bet your 1 cube is the small one too. 🤣🤣

[@kevinmaw2857]

@@DS-cf1zc spot on 🤣🤣 you can imagine what we carry for CamperJam, good videos keep them coming maybe see you around and share a 🍺

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha thanks buddy. We put our clothes in suitcases or over night bags. So much easier that way. Especially if we go on a longer trip, having a suitcase each makes everything so much easier for us, the cases go in the awning :)

[@andylscott]

I’ve got a feeling you’re gearing up to sell it to upgrade ?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha no chance mate... if we did ever upgrade, we'd keep this van. Too many great memories

[@richardbarry8399]

So you also suffer from boredom buying off of eBay as well 😉 maybe we should start up a help group for like minded people 😁

[@jonathanparkes1603]

Not fost😢

Swinging table? Is that where everyone throws their keys into a bowl? Proper mucky behaviour........... Runs off and looks for keys.........

Haha it is, I'll see you at the party 🤣
