Camper Van Upgrades EPIC FAIL ALERT

I was bored so I decided to do some bits on the van (as you do) - A few things went well but some did not... Enjoy!

You also need to cut out a circle for the rain sensor in front of the rear view mirror. Top tip - blutack a coin over it when you fit the sunshade and then use a Stanley blade to cut round the coin for a perfect circle. 👍

[@caspervanlife8466]

Cheers for the shoutout Colin, wasn’t expecting that 😆 the clock looks ace… the 101 is the date (confuses me every time 😂) Jan 1st… great video, despite the ‘setbacks’

[@jasonnicol8302]

Yeh, the window graphic would definitely get ripped off. I would have lost it well before you. You should always have emergency Leffe in a situation like that.

[@junglierich8448]

Glad it’s not just me that has the occasional ‘moment’ when things go a bit wrong - watching you give up with the blind in that epic way somehow seemed so familiar. …I can’t sit still either!

[@timvarley8589]

Colin! Just discovered your channel this morning. Really enjoying your vids, your humour and energy is why we chose you for our wedding as well. Few more videos for me to catch up on, keep up the good work!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha awesome mate, hope you and Allie are both well.. Enjoy the rest of the videos matey and stay awesome

[@glennclarke3973]

For the sunstrip I just ordered some vinyl wrap off a well know selling site. Get the stuff with tiny little holes in and then you don’t get the air bubbles. Don’t worry you don’t see the tiny holes.

[@vandulizers8747]

Jost coz quiff , an’ stoff. Genius! Loving the channel and we haven’t even got a van yet!

[@keithmassey7782]

Love the rage.... Nothing better than an over reaction screwing up and slam dunking it in the bin! (Hope it was the correct bin, as that usually finishes the rage with a "my life" swear comment ) 🤣🤣

[@ianduckworth9925]

Had exactly the same mini tantrum when I tried to fit a clear protection film to front edge of the bonnet 😂😂😂

[@bobhead6243]

Hi Colin , I loved the screen Sticker part , we all make mistakes my Friend , my old VW had its fair share of Human Errors performed on it , LOL , can't Believe that you only just worked out how to use the Bottle opener mate ! , Be Well , love and Respect to you and the Family , and WOOF to Branston !🙂

[@irenedale5256]

As always, enjoyed the video - had a giggle about the batteries at the beginning. The clock looks great - good idea. I have to say, I don’t have our T6 any more as we exchanged it for another camper that suited our needs (or rather, the needs of our dogs!) better, but I do miss not being part of the Dub community 😕. Having a camper on a Citroen is not quite the same ……. but still love seeing what you and others do with your vans. 💕🐾

[@theadventuresoflario]

I did chuckle when that visor came off😂 we've all been there at some point 🤦‍♂️👍

[@GingerCaptures]

Love that clock ⏰️ 👍

[@MrDods26]

Absolutely in tears 🤣🤣🤣 Great Vlog Colin 👏 👏 👏

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Great tip on the bubbles.

[@UrbanMonkeyAdventures]

Great vlogg colin and great plug for the DOC festival. We should definitely do a mini collab vlogg at the festival 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻. It would be so much fun 😎 I’d love to learn a few tips from you along the way. I’d love to show you some drone tricks 😎👌

[@mcelmo1]

As someone who has never done a decent job at applying a sticker, that is literally what I would have done and then I would have just hated myself for wasting the money. Props for giving it a go though dude!!!

[@KennyTelfer]

Hey Col! Cracking vid! I've got the flipside 450. It's good, got my 50mm, 24-105 on my canon eos RP, and my 70-200mm telephoto. Oh and my wide angle lens too! After all that there's not much room for much else!!

[@briancohen1967]

Pmsl done the same thing wrapping my bonnet 🙃

[@juliant5732]

Another great video , i love the fact you give everything a go , just like me sometimes it works , sometimes it doesn't , love the clock idea , i might have to give that a go myself. Cant wait for the next chapter , keep them coming .

[@CampervanAdventures]

Lolol you made me laugh putting the front sunshade on,took me back to me and the other half trying to vynl wrap the bonnet(and we did manage it in the end)but all good colin 👍😉

[@davidbloomfield4135]

Most of us probably did that with there first DOC sticker lol

[@KevinSimpson_MTB]

My sister-in-law put screen wash in the engine of her Metro years ago instead of the washer bottle. I think the garage she took it too had a chuckle 🤭

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

😂😂😂

[@weekendexplorer8899]

Great video, just started my own and yours is perfect for inspiration. Thanks

[@nnichola]

Love the vid Col and your humour and honesty, even when things don’t go to plan. Remember even a bad day in the Dub is better than any day at work 😜

[@flapsfalkland5181]

Ace video Colin 👍

[@dave56t44]

Great vlog col . Love the new intro too

[@philgreenough9730]

Why didn't you use glue to connect the hinge to the clock? Also, use rare earth magnets to keep your door closed. You can super glue them on. Thanks for the vid. 👍

[@brianwoodburn1223]

Haha I've screwed up two windscreen sun stripes, exactly the same as you. Getting someone to fit a matt black one for me on Monday 👍

[@superdog1947]

And i thought i was the only one that managed to misfit things on the van,thanks for showing otherwise Colin

[@adiehull]

I'd get a vehicle tint or wrap company to do a big sticker like that. Won't cost the earth either, and they'll have a choice of whites 👍🏻

[@philipdoncaster2615]

I'm not the only one then that screws up the sun visor. lol. I like the idea for the clock, just ordered some hinges from amazon. Have a quess what I'll be doing tomorrow. Another great vid. Keep them coming. P.S with all your vids I'll be coming for a loan off you soon. lol

[@jasonfarrell5857]

Just watched your last video Colin, you’re so funny mate and personable.. the clock looks ace 👍

[@elizabethlouisedurdin4666]

Hi Col Have you got fire extinguisher ? Also a Sirocco 12v swivel fan 3speed on a 3hr up to 12hr timer is great in the van on hot days or just to create airflow while sleeping @ night Cheers Liz VW Transporter Australia

[@stuartmays]

I'm just back from 4 days on the isle of Skye,and I need to get myself a "the north is ace" sticker for my T5

[@danieljames404]

great video again!

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Lmao that's something I would do with the bottle opener.

[@germaine4032]

Great video as usual mate. Looking forward to seeing you in June. Maybe even sooner. Wink wink, touch my nose 😉🤫

[@richardgriffiths230]

Very enjoyable, thank you

[@slazbury15]

Great video nice to see fails 👍

[@holidaysinthehumma5108]

Thanks for sharing Colin, u make me laugh 😂

[@parkay3560]

Loved the video Colin.what I love is,just like Will does on his channel,you're honest and show the failures and triumphs. Can I ask one question? Can you tell me the proper name for the clips you used to fix the panel to the front of your bed. Thanks in advance

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya buddy, thank you! I'll be honest I have no idea what they are called... It was almost embarrassing trying to ask for what I wanted in the DIY store 🤣

[@parkay3560]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures I usually call them thingies or thingy bobs lol .The good news for me is, I dont need them any more and I'm now the proud owner of a fully built camper....I just need to sell my kidneys to buy the ridge monkey, porta potty, pans, hookup...........I'll look forward to your next bimble out in your van Colin.

[@smokinrider]

Hope that wasn’t just water in your washers. Needs to be 5050 fluid and water this time of year.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I put the fluid in first matey.... I wasn't having a good day 😅😅

[@derbyjohn972]

We all make mistakes. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@itsmekaiko8566]

Hi Colin. What kind of ‘strip’ do you use in front of your poptop?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya, I'm not sure, it was installed by the pop top company when they did the pop top.

[@DS-cf1zc]

My jaw dropped during this video - not because of the new clock fitting - seeing a Yorkshireman drilling hinges into a cheap clock, as a fellow Yorkshireman sent shivers up my spine, what if it wrecks the cheap clock - nor because of the switching the bottle opener around - nor because you lost money on the screen decals. But it dropped seeing you using your credit card in public to try and smooth out the windscreen decals. Christ, you need a DNA test to check you are truly from Yorkshire 🤣we never, never, ever, show our credit cards in public. We may have to admit we have them.....

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hahahaha you make me laugh mate... If it makes you feel better, I used a Costa Coffee loyalty card

[@nigelrigby9764]

Where do you get the clock from?..that bit of my van really annoys me

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

EY up buddy, there should be a link in the discription. Let me know if not though

[@nigelrigby9764]

Got it through Casper 👍

[@nomae62]

Are the wiper blades going to damage the vinyl?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Never even thought of that... 🤣🤣

[@nomae62]

It’s gotta go on the inside to be safe. Do it on a warm day and that’ll help with water evaporation, when you squeegee the vinyl. Never done it myself, but it makes sense 🤷‍♂️😂

[@AdyWalter]

Interesting fact, if the sunshade is within the wiper sweep area you will likely fail an MOT. Trust me, been there, done that! It's also a pain to remove and keep re-applying every year!

[@stufreestylecarr]

@@AdyWalter short wiper blades for mot 😎 not in the swept area anymore

[@linoleumbonypart385]

Time you got a new van you’ve done too much already …..less is more

[@linoleumbonypart385]

Didn’t like the sticker anyhoo
