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 !!
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.
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 !! 🤣🤣🤣
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!
You crack me up Mel.Paul Whitehouse has got nothing on you buddy. I have a T4 caravelle stealth camper,was a minibus with full windows.Limo tints sorted that out,blackout curtains and two on the bulkhead. I will have to do a video showing mine soon. Best trip iv'e done is all the way up the east coast of Scotland,free camping at all the harbours and always a nice pub..New sub here fella,happy camping.. Nice setup btw.
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!
Mel, at last the tour and it’s great well done mate , Make sure you send a link to Greg Virgoe . Thanks for sharing and all we need now is the Mels emergency escape through the bulkhead . 👍👍👍👍
Hi Mel gr8 blog nice to see someone happy in there diy cant wait to see the next build shold have your own tv show(diy campervans) maybe 1 day.Q. looking at a transit T350 RWD crewcab LWB. But dont uderstand about weghts/payloads eney i dear cheers steve.
Great van tour Mel, I love the layout you got. I'm looking to get a van but not sure what, but watching your videos I think it's the transit for me fella. 😁🏴👍
Hello I have been watching all your videos with great interest I am in a position to buy my first van to convert I'm really impressed with your van and conversion you mentioned it's a trend but have you got an exact model variant etc as I really want one exactly like yours.
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
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!
Nice van Mel, well worth the effort you put in, especially to get electric wipers 😜 Time to head off to Camp Off-Grid in Derbyshire this weekend with Campervan Tales, test everything out fully 👍🏻
Hello mel. Love your van and your video. I have subscribed to your channel. You have thought of everything for your van. I love it. Are you full time or when time allows.
@@BigVanSmallWorld I mean...possibly but ive got 800w of solar and a wind turbine because im pretty power hungry, so semi stealth? Up in Scotland so its easier to hide away!
Mel, you've got what I reckon is the perfect conversion :) Oh I did chuckle when you pointed out that your gas alarm is right next to the porta-potty ! Good planning mate !
Hi Mel, Watched all your van build video's, they are great, you can always learn something and I picked up a lot from your video's. One thing I wondered about, why did you not connect your diesel heater to your main vehicle fuel tank (I've assumed your van is a diesel)? Keep the video's coming, your great in front of camera.
Ok so your solar panel is held down by well nuts but if its flexible does it not rattle with wind going under it while driving ? Or if its gusty when parked up ?
Great van Mel, fantastic to see the final project been following the progress and its inspired me to do the same, what woodstain did you use? Cheers Kyle
Hi Kyle funny you should ask I have been filming a video today tomorrow I’ll upload it it’s all about wood stain and what to use and what not to use good luck with your build so nice to know I have inspired you makes all the hard work worthwhile thank you 🤙🤓

Cheers for the link. So you said you only have 100w solar panel as you don't use a lot of power and also have the split charge. Do you think it would be adequate for someone who lives in their van but only uses the same stuff as you? Does that make sense? Ta
Hi you’re welcome I think to many people worry about what everyone else has in there vans. Starting off with minimum is best you can see there’s plenty of room on my roof if I decide to fit another panel and plenty room for bigger battery I run most of the summer 2017 with just one panel and battery + split charge really had no problem at all.are you going full time ? 🤓🤙
@@BigVanSmallWorld Yes true. I was thinking I need 4000W solar panel as that's what everyone else has 😄.Trouble is, my van only has space for 120w 🙄😏. Am I going full time?

That looks fantastic Mel, a professional job👍 Where did you get the memory foam mattress from? Are you planning on going to any van gatherings? I saw your comments on "Kite Van Man's" live stream yesterday, I was wondering when they said someone used to live I mortuary I thought, I know who that is😂
I’m going to Camp Quirky this weekend to get some more ideas and have a look around. It is a expensive ticket but I’ve never been to it before so thought I’d give it a shot. I would have gone to the gathering Mr Womble mentioned (taking place somewhere Pennines way, a fiver a night charge👍) on a video but I’d already bought a ticket for Quirky 😩 so maybe go I’ll to another gathering later this summer as I haven’t even begun the conversion yet😂

This one was medium hight it was a fantastic van I just couldn’t stand up in it I thought I would be ok with it but it really got to me after only a year so I sold it to get my current van the sprinter 👍
A very nice van Mel! What detector do you have?
Thank you I have a Excalibur 🤙🤓
Goodo mate ... take 2 ...🤣🤣😂🤣😂😁pip pips and carryon
Lol 😂
Methane alarm, could be embarrasing. Hey if you pipe your exhaust into the back you could possibly find the carbon monoxide alarm as it goes off
How do you get it on in your van with the bed so close to the ceiling!
Hi it’s fine I have so much storage it more than makes up for not being able to sit-up in bed 🤓🤙

That looks fantastic Mel, a professional job👍 Where did you get the memory foam mattress from? Are you planning on going to any van gatherings? I saw your comments on "Kite Van Man's" live stream yesterday, I was wondering when they said someone used to live I mortuary I thought, I know who that is😂
I still use the mortuary as a mail address lol no one believes me though I put link to mattress your the second person to ask 🤓🤙
I got no plans to go any van gavering this summer but next year I’ll be all over them like a rash lol are you going to any ?
I’m going to Camp Quirky this weekend to get some more ideas and have a look around. It is a expensive ticket but I’ve never been to it before so thought I’d give it a shot. I would have gone to the gathering Mr Womble mentioned (taking place somewhere Pennines way, a fiver a night charge👍) on a video but I’d already bought a ticket for Quirky 😩 so maybe go I’ll to another gathering later this summer as I haven’t even begun the conversion yet😂
well done good luck
This guy makes me look like a grumpy fucker! Love the cheery demeanour, must be divorced 😆
Thank you 😂🤓👍
