I’m loving going through all the stuff you’ve done previously - I only found your channel by accident a few weeks ago when I was stuck in bed ill, but you cheered me up no end. …and I actually feel like I’ve got my backside and elbow sorted for when I pick up our new van in a few weeks - the one in the icon …can’t wait - your enthusiasm - all of you - is infectious. 👍🏻

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

That's awesome mate, glad to hear you are on the mend and that I formed part of that repair process! ;) You will love having a van mate, adventure on wheels - Enjoy!

[@chrisneedham5803]

Enjoyed your video 📹 as always. You're all set for your next trip. Cheers 🍷🍺👍

Your so natural and funny I thoroughly enjoyed your video

"round the back of the sofa".. Had me in bits... Great video mate, can't wait to get started modding ours...keep em coming ;)

[@tomkrigby]

Some great ideas as always. I’ll definitely be stealing some of them!

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

We have a 10m and a 15m cable. Which you can join together. The 25m gets really heavy rolling up. The Caravan and Motorhome club don't allow/like joining cables though.

Enjoyed the tour mate, yep careful with these glass tops. Love how you have customised your van.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks guys, I love watching your videos, when I saw you had broken your glass top I was gutted for you... Hope you are doing ok with lockdown and stuff... Happy New Year to you guys! Here is to a much better and more travelled 2021 :)

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures I'll drink to that🥃. Lockdown plus snow and ice means we are housebound, but hopefully it will be a good year for us all. Great work with the vids!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

I like where you have put a mains socket on a cable under the bonnet. The single swivel seat can still be a pain to swivel too. Nice van 👍

[@wessexevents]

Enjoying your channel and new Subscriber. We did the folding bracket mod on our double seat which makes the seat a little less upright and allows the top to fold over which is quite handy sometimes rather than faff of swiveling the double keep up the great content

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I have been looking at one of those too... Quite a few people have suggested it and I think it has to be my next purchase.... Can I ask, does it go flat? As in flat enough to maybe put some MDF on top and use as a "quick table"

[@wessexevents]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Yes it does go fairly flat eg the back rest of folds on to the bench part of the seat and you can squeeze a piece of thin ply 6mm ish I think under the upholstery. The bracket I used was the Vankraft one. They have video on the install it's quite straightforward and few other helpful videos online

We really enjoy you videos, can you please give me details of the switch control panel as this is the next job on my list to do.😃

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya Simon, so glad you enjoy our videos and my ramblings trying to find stuff to talk about during lockdown 🤣🤣... I explain all in my next video. But for now, the switch panel is from Rayne Automotive as part of their VW wiring set up... Hope this helps :)

[@chrishoole617]

Yet again, fantastic video. You might think it sad but the ball n chain & myself get a real buzz when we realise you’ve done another vid lol. Think you’ve done a crackin job with the van mate, we’ve bought one ready converted & I’m in the process of changing things to suit us, I think ours is the same base model ( 5speed 102bhp) , been thinking about getting it remapped for more torque & better fuel consumption, it struggled up Sutton Bank lol. Have you any views on this . Cheers Keep on sharing the adventures

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha thats brilliant mate, not sad at all... We do the same with other KZbin channels too... (either that or we are all sad 🤣🤣) Thanks so much, im super happy with the van now, just want to get out and use it... Its a similar model, we gave the 115bhp and it does ok. We have managed Garrowby Hill in the North York Moors and few other tasty climbs (including Otley Chevin that I have to climb out of every time I leave Otley 🤣). We have considered maybe going to 150bhp, not for the speed but for the fuel economy (and torque up hills). If you do have it done, make sure its by a Pendle Authorised garage as I have heard so horror stories!

[@chrishoole617]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thanks for that bud, I’ll look at Pendle approved. Stay safe 👍

[@irenedale5256]

Great video again, thank you. I love seeing other people’s vans. We have the double swivel passenger seat and had a bracket fitted to it last year to enable the backrest to fold down forward but we can still swivel the seat there are only 2 of us and three dogs, so it means on a short stop we can have a clear view from the back seat through the windscreen. Btw it was a relief to know that I’m not the only one who sometimes wrestles the seat 😖. Good idea about the loo roll storage. We have a problem with our van inasmuch as when the rock ‘n’ roll bed is out, we can’t open the fridge door and the space for the toilet is really tight. Don’t know what to do about that. Does the front part of your back seat have two legs? Does it ruck the mat up? (Our van was bought ready converted.) I always look forward to your videos because you always lift my spirits 💕. Looking forward to the next ones. Just seen Wessex Events party planning comment re front pax seat - ours is not completely flat, we use one of those lap tray things on it which evens it out a bit.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I bet your 3 dogs are tidier than Michelle and Olivia haha... I have seen in a few vans where the bed goes past the fridge (where the bed is set forward a bit so there is boot space) - Yes ours has legs that roll on the rug but when we pull out the bed we tend to lift it a bit otherwise it does indeed ruck the carpet up a bit. Thanks for the advice about the folding seat too... I think I will have to pop one of these on my to do/buy list.

[@irenedale5256]

Hi, just came across your vids, great work👍🏻 I may have missed it but where do you store your food etc when travelling? I saw storage for clothes, plates cups etc but not food.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya Matthew, thanks so much mate... We store food in large tubs and then pop them in the sliding cupboard. If you check out some of the beginnings of a few of our "vacation" videos, there should be a clip where it shows the food in the cupboard! :)

[@markblackburn8001]

Hi pal great vids as always just starting with my T5 conversation can you tell me where you got the toilet cover from

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya mate, its from Amazon but it seems to have disappeared (it's been out of stock for a good year too) gutted that they are not available now

[@bearcheapthrillsadventures6877]

Good video m8 .a noticed u have carpeted your side and back doors where did u get that plastic trim to finish the edge of the carpet. Thanks derek

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya mate, thanks. The edge trim is just really thin door seal (doesn't have to be a seal, I just thought it looked good 🤣) ;)

[@gazgringe2598]

How do? Cracking video. I appreciate it is an older video but it is the first time I've seen it. Anyway, can we talk shelves. I want to put a shelf in. I also have a light in the same spot above the window, over the sink etc. I don't want to mess around with the electrics and drop the light down. Therefore, do you manage with the lamp. Not got one, but can get one. Also, how have you attached it the shelf? brackets? What is the colour of your material? I have the same, just want to make sure I order the right one. Loads of questions sorry. Thanks again....you are my Van Guru. (My wife thinks I'm watching dodgy videos).

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, Thanks for watching and subbing... So in answer to your questions, the carpet is called Smoke Grey (it does differ slightly from different manufacturers, mine is from Mega Van Mats and Kiravans) - I do manage with the lamp, but if you check out my "camper van problems solved" video I have added a light under the shelf that links directly to the switch panel instead of the lamp (I ditched the lamp idea as it was a little to large for the space) The shelf is screwed in from the cupboard on the right (from the inside) and screwed on to the bulk head frame with self tappers and a support beam from the bottom to the top. With the shelf being quite surdy there wasnt any need to add middle supports and its held quite well... I suppose my videos are dodgy haha!! Enjoy!

Iv bought a T6 and currently getting all the bits & pieces I need, slowly getting organised, I can’t believe how much stuff you have in your van. All fits surprisingly well 👍🏻 Do you take anything for wild camping? Axe, wood saw etc

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya Paul, eventually everything fits 🤣🤣! It takes time though and a lot of taking out and putting back in again! I haven't been wild camping enough in the van to warrant taking axes and wood saw but I have purchased an axe and a fire pit and have plans to do a wild camp with a fire and such like. Just been a little bit hindered by the current situation!

[@rev0107]

Hey man, been watching through your videos, enjoying them, and a question I have for you is with regard tp your windows... I have a Kombi I am converting and I am having dilemma about the rear windows. I see you haven't cut out your nearside panel, how do you find it for light etc?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

EY up buddy, I used to find it quite dark but also comforting and warm so it has it's down sides and up sides. Check out some more recent videos as I have now panelled one of the side (white) and it's brightened it up loads

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha its ok, I just assumed you'd missed that part of the video. Yeah I think as he gets older we may have to rethink the sleeping situation as he hops up super easy now but in 10 years he might struggle. But in 10 years we will either have a larger van or Olivia's going to be in her 20s and not wanting to come camping with us so he can have the whole of downstairs and Michelle and I will sleep upstairs
