A short video for Father’s day here in the UK. I visited my Dad in North Devon and took the opportunity to check out his latest build. I grew up around him modifying campervans as a hobby and travelling in them with my family. Now it all makes a lot more sense...Thanks Dad.

Goodbye Old Van. Onwards Adventure Vehicles - Episode 04

Goodbye Old Van. Building new Adventure Vehicles means saying goodbye to old ones. I make the difficult decision to part ways with my 1996 VW T4 that I have owned for over 10 years. Affectionately known as 'The Rolling Home' this vehicle became the subject of our first book and the basis for our popular Vanlife instagram page. We also make great progress on our current 4x4 Sprinter customer bui...

    Great vid. Always good to see different, in depth content. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one of those red 4x4 sprinters rocking round my area (newton abbot). Always in opposite direction.🤙

    Amazing to see the amount of care, precision, and taste you manage put into your product. I admire that you dare to share all of that out in the open. Absolute joy to watch you working and understanding your reasoning behind your decisions.

    Some great videos from this latest set 🤙…… I have asked this question before (apologies), Are you doing a video on the yellow 5t sprinter???….it looked such an awesome van. Either way it’s good to see this new content..

    I'm in awe of the quality of your work. Sometimes for no deserved or even understandable reason life can deal a pretty crap hand - in my life and work I've seen lots of folks given a bum deal - but through the hard days just remember it's no reflection on you. Keep the faith in the quality that you are and in what you do; it's a truism (even metaphorically) that through the long night follows day.

    Fascinating video showing the reality not the stageshow. I am well aware myself of these issues that in a sense stop momemtum having run my own Caravan/Motorhome business for 10 years. The time involved in just sourcing parts and rectifications can be a slog for sure. Customers are needed but are also in control. You are clearly very professional and produce some great work Calum so wish you all the best on your path ahead. :ook forward to your updates!

  • @julianpilkington4990
    @julianpilkington4990 หลายเดือนก่อน

    tricky, feel you pain with being accommodating to customer 'wants'......maybe swaying you from knowing and insisting on whats best, and now results in sticky/costly outcomes. sounds like you are are doing honourably at resolving. bespoke builds...bespoke outcomes. good luck, keep going!

    Really loved your honesty in this Calum. Been following onwards for a while, since we created our own little van. We have definitely been inspired by your van designs. It’s so easy to think that everyone you see online has it all figured out, its really great to see that we are all just figuring it out as we work our way through the world. Loving this little corner of TH-cam.

    When are we getting more of these? All of the episodes have been FANTASTIC SO far! I've been following you for years and have most of your publications (and shirts - please make more of these! Mine is at the end of it's life!!) I would absolutely LOVE to see you work on your new personal van. I'm just now in a position to get my first van, and due to budget - will be converting myself - love this sort of thing anyway. I'm not sure whether to go T5, or. Ducato just yet, but which ever way I go it'll be closely modelled on your designs as they are head and shoulders above the competition. Keep it up, and release more content!! PS if you are sellling, any Onwards merch, please let me know! I'd love aT, or pull over!

  • @TheSlowworms
    @TheSlowworms ปีที่แล้ว

    Ah man, it’s sad to see it go. It’s amazing how it’s had such an effect on so many people though. It’s pretty much what persuaded me to my my van. I am going through exactly same thing with my van at the minute. I’m still may get it repaired if it’s not gonna cost me a fortune. I would really miss it if I had to get rid of it

  • @MMMorand

    Very nice design! May I ask what you use on these walls? Is it felt? Thank you for letting me know :) Keep up the good work!

  • @kezleat6668
    @kezleat6668 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely a hard decision. I spent years trying to keep my bongo going until it just needed to much work. If I had endless funds I'd most likely still have it. But unfortunately that's not the case. Loving the content, keep up the great work 👍🏼

  • @glynknox

    Sprinter looks amazing. Your engineering skills and attention to detail are to be applauded. Well done and good luck with the completion.

  • @bobbiejoe123
    @bobbiejoe123 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm sure it was a hard decision to let the van go but in the end the right decision with the amount of work needed. I wish there were still some copies of the journal available as I'm missing 2 and 4. Looking forward to what's next in whatever van you choose.

    I've never seen this much rust on a T4 :O If anything, I was surprised you wanted to take a shot at it prior to stripping down.

  • @colinlee5429
    @colinlee5429 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very sad but the right decision was made. I'd hate to have to scrap my t4 I look forward to seeing what you replace it with......

    Followed you for years, came to the Milton Keynes book launch too. Then caught up again at Quirky 2019, was great to see the camper all finished. Sad to see the years have taken their toll again.

  • @dungster33
    @dungster33 ปีที่แล้ว

    I met you guys, and the van when you did your Kickstarter/book launch in Milton Keynes many years ago. Great to see the van is still fighting on, and then I watched more of this video and saw that all the hope in the world cannot fight the weather and rust.

  • @glynknox
