Amazing conversion of van

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Thanks buddy! Hope you’re well?

Well done loving your upgrades

Good to have multiple power sources and charging options. I'd put a sink in, and have a small portable waste tank. Keep the cut out to make a top for the sink to keep the worktop space (Greg Virgoe has a good video on it) a permanent sink is very useful, I use mine for storing cups/kettle etc when travelling. I also have the folding sink, mine has a plug built in, great for taking washing up to the camp kitchen. I can recommend the Vango Sizzle 800w portable Induction hob - much quieter than the household portable ones, and has a nice long lead and a carry bag too - they do a single and a twin - I got the single and kept the Single gas cartridge burner as backup. I also have that little kettle - thanks for the recommendation - I love it, it has had heaps of use, works a treat. Looking forward to seeing Scotland, have good memories from caravan holidays there are a child.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

I sill going for the no sink option for now, will see how I get on in Scotland, and doubt I will be getting an induction hob, just trying to keep junk and stuff I hardly use out of the van! But thank you for the recommendations!

[@linz_in_NZ]

@@PackTheVanAndGo Sounds like a good plan. Having an Airfryer makes a huge difference to what you can cook. We've noticed quite a few campsites now have them in the kitchens. Tempted to take mine with us when we go away next.

Thanks buddy! How’s you?

[@whatsgazupto]

@ all good thanks mate very jealous that you’re heading back to Scotland mate . I didn’t want to leave Skye last month but life gets in the way 🤯🤯 take care and stay safe 👍

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@ hopefully our paths cross again at some stage mate. Stay safe till then

[@whatsgazupto]

@ I’ll be at all the Willow Fields events next year so fingers crossed 🤞😁

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@ see you there pal

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

The rear door attachments with pouches containing the mobile man cave essence, is a product of your military service experience I'm guessing? I think that your finished van will be an awesome example and showpiece at a vanlife gathering event. This project has been an adventure in itself with remarkable results and your good to go now. 👍

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

I go the molle boards off work (Mule) and the pouches are similar to what we had in the forces, so a combination of all that makes a great man cave 👍👍 The van is slowly getting to where I want it and still have more to do, but less than I did last week for sure! Hope you're well?

[@campervanchris4171]

Fantastic bloody job ! It’s going to be great to watch when you go up there testing the van & watching you make a list of more upgrades 🤣

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Im always coming up with lists and things to upgrade... my list never gets small 😂😂

[@campervanchris4171]

@ I blame gadget John 🤣

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@ 😂😂😂 and my brain at night

[@frankmcalinden3699]

Hi Rob , recently new follower , great upgrades and setup . Was wondering why you need the dc to dc. Unit for your power bank.? Do you have 2 different voltage systems .?

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

hi mate, my whole system, is 12v, I could charge from an inverter, but id have to drive with the inverter charging and the power bank plugged in.... this way, I can have the power bank into my electrical system and charge better and more efficient!

[@russho67]

Always like electric options, Great vid! Fitted a fogstar as well but the 300amp. plus a Victron upgrade to the 50amp. Trying to work out if i should keep my two 100amp lifepo4 i have spare now and somehow use them to top up a power bank with them in series to 24v then also have a 12v to 24v Converter. Which converter did you get from GJ? thought they had around 500w mark into a power bank? You given me more food for thought ,as i was planning straight to vehicle battery but maybe nearer to where the 50amp B2B is.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

The converter I got was the 12-24 30amp version mate! The power bank I've got can only take so much, but the bigger power banks can take more power for charging, but im still happy with the power ratio it charges for me!

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Still November mate 😅 0:10

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Merry xmas 👍

[@shaunmccaw2911]

Aye your right mate the Tyson fight was shit your electrical system is pretty impressive well done 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Yeah that fight was crap, the girls beforehand were awesome though! Thanks mate, hows you and the weather up there?

[@shaunmccaw2911]

​@@PackTheVanAndGo it was -5c yesterday morning there's quite a bit of snow in Inverness area but the roads are fine hope you manage to get to see it

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@ should be heading up in just over 4 weeks mate! Fingers crossed

[@debspaul6635]

Another great video , I also have victron setup , can i ask which powerbank you have also the victron part which is supporting the powerbank via the lynx ditribution board . Thinking i will do the same , great set up 👍

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Hi mate, the powerbank is the Allpowers R1500 there is a link in the description and it’s the DC to DC 12-24 30amp converter, link in description for all the items 👍

[@JJ_2806]

Hello there. I have just discovered your channel your van looks amazing well done. I have been watching your adventures in Scotland from last year, for inspiration as me and my family are heading North for a week during New Year. A quick question i noticed the thermal cover at the rear of your van it looks great for winter conditions where did you get it from?

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Hi mate, hope the trip north goes well and you manage to find some inspiration from the videos! As for the rear door screen, here’s the contact: webbnetflyscreens.com/

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Looking cool Rob, but will the Boob van ever be finished haha. How many days left till the holiday season. Getting closer. All the very best wishes to Archie and Yourself. Soon be Adventure time Mate

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

The van will never be finished, but it will be as close to being finished as it was last week 😂😂 Hope you're well mate?

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

@PackTheVanAndGo all part of the lifestyle mate. Always coming up with new ideas. Good thanks, nice to see a bit of the white stuff lol.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@ hopefully we have a good white cold crisp winter

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

@PackTheVanAndGo good chance I'd imagine. Hooe you've got a rope to help Sean out lol 😆

[@andrewjackson3761]

you you will upset all your Welsh members if you keep saying you don't want leeks . Keep it up.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

😂😂😂😂 I'll have tone careful of how I pronounce it

[@BigRedEd]

What are cameras got to do with winter, and you keep saying we ,who is we.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

If you followed the channel you’d know there is a dog called Archie, that’s why I reference we instead of me! And anything to do with my van is getting the van ready for winter, especially cameras for extra security.
