I’d say you have created the perfect layout and only put in the things you really need. This makes the van look clean and spacious and I think everyone will agree with me that you have done an amazing job.

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Thank you that is really appreciated messages like this make all the hard work worthwhile 🤓🤙🍻

[@joline2730]

Just caught this video after watching some of your recent "W-on-W" here in 2022 !! This video cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣, it's so slapdash, so un-prepared, un-rehearsed and clumsy, but it was Great !!

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Thank you 😂👍

[@mjremy2605]

While I am looking at the video, I'm wondering why its so shaky and lighting changing all the time. Its because you are holding the camera on yourself as you do the tour. Better idea - just hold the camera and take yourself out of the frame. We get to see more of the van build and camera is more steady and lighting more even. In fact, its a mistake to put oneself in the frame much at all. Just a bit here and there. Mostly just show the van. We can here you speak and if you are in the frame you block the view of the build. Very nice build, Mel. This looks so cozy!

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Thank you I’ll take that 👍😊👍

Well done Mel, I've just started my journey of converting a van so your videos have been a great source,

thank you for your positive feedback really appreciated 🤓👍

[@athollmcnicoll256]

So Mel you got yourself a Ford Transit Trend and then you converted it, was it expensive and a lenghty job, as I intend sometime when CoVid is done with to get on the road in a similar fashion, so if youo would be so kind as to make a breakdown of costs I'd be truly thankful !! Oh one thing I forgot to mention is your van manual or automatic gearbox as the latter is what solely drive - Cheers!

I really sorry that’s not possible and if you only drive auto good luck

Oops, wait up, I didn't finish !! 🤣🤣 I have a Transit so this was quite interesting. I can't really understand why people have a ceiling fan, when, as you say, you can crack your front cab windows and I also notice that the side window also opens. I have a skylight in my roof, which I find much more useful than a suck/blow fan, but each to their own, hey?? I love how all your 'draws' are full of junk and so unorganizex !!! 🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if your more recent van (Merc Sprinter??) is better organized. BTW I love your beard 💯 Thanks for the larf !! 🤣🤣🤣

That’s the same Tranny I’ve got. I converted mine too, quirky and different. I appreciate seeing how you’ve done yours, and I’m still swithering about fitting a diesel heater. Soon, I suspect

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Brilliant vans definitely worth fitting heater 🤓🤙

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Are you going to use yours in the winter?

[@Elinor_Scott-Lester]

Yes, I use mine all year round. Previously we’ve made do with hot water bottles, because the van is pretty well insulated, but it’s a bugger if you’re out in minus ten and can’t get it warm. I just realised I have a slightly different variant model, mine is AWD, so the floor is raised up to make room for the rear prop shaft, it was originally a crewcab in van, three rear seats and a very heavy bulkhead. When I’d finished the conversion (never really finished but you know what I mean) it weighed the same, with full tanks, water, gas, cupboards etc as it did before I started. That’s how heavy the bulkhead and rear seats were!

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

that is surprising well done for checking
