My caravan windows from a well known auction site weren't drilled in the right places however I fitted one successfully. Went to do the 2nd; again not drilled in the right places! But low and behold, I drilled right through to the outside! Bit of good fun, this van conversion lark! Ha Ha. Easy fix though. Phew!
Cheers for helping me out yesterday with the vent window sizes Mel , ordered the windows today and even got a discount mentioning you how I found out about them 😁😃
Looking awwsum mel fellow truck driver here delivering health care products around the uk ,watch all your videos ,and lives unfortunately can't comment on lives because I am always driving 6pm till 6am but love the waffle on a Wednesday 👍👍
Smart little windows are those mate. That adhesive is terrible stuff to squeeze out of the tubes. Me and my son did one with a hand gun and even after it had been on a radiator for hours it was still hard going. We ended up buying a air powered adhesive gun for £20 and borrowed a small compressor, made it so much easier.
That is looking excellent Mel, getting closer to the time for registration as campervan. We have a few cats come round here looking for trouble until they meet my cat. He's a large grey pussycat that weighs in over 7kg. When one has a go he just sits and watches.
Job well done I'd say. You could leave the isolation on the panels and stick Velcro on the isolated side like I told you in the last video. In the other hand, nice little curtains on a spiral cord let oxigen in and light out. I would be opting for the last one. Good and cheers mate🍷😄🍻
At 2mins 'these were'nt cheap, 300 for the pair', I was surprised that they are that inexpensive, very reasonable indeed I'd say, especially for the pair, unless you meant 300 each, then they'd be too pricey. So encouraging to see you soldiering on like you do, in the cold, outside, on your own, a true trojan. Best wishes Alan, in Norfolk.
They are very nice Windows and I did look at the price of them previously, a bit rich for my budget camper and also bigger than I need though. I did however order one of the smaller rubber mounted non opening windows. Nice to people speak to on the phone and delivered quickly as well.
The DVLA aren't exactly helping you become "kinda stellfy", are they? 😊😊. Your trick with the cardboard and two holes is great outside the box thinking. An enjoyable video!.
Also you need an Awning rail and graphics on the side. The Awning rail isn't tough or expensive. Also the graphics aren't too tough either. Will look forward to seeing Mel doing his thing with these. Actually Mel, you could have a custom graphic made up for your chanel that followers could buy as a tribute to their diy camper guru. I'd be up for one!
@@chrismartin5772 Hi Chris. From watching the video I believe Mel simply used the silicone provided by the supplier of the windows. But that said I'm sure Mel will indeed correct me if not the case..👍
Nice video Mel. I think the 'stealthy' has gone out the window 🤣. Have you considered putting a sunroof in with decking up top? Same as 'Liam the Terrible', 'Lost in Europe' and other Vanlifers?
Good job once again. Thought crossed my mind for future reference. Support open window with a piece of wood and a couple of G clamps would create more force than just tape. Just a thought🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴
Good job Mel! Now we just need to beat this virus and enjoy our vans. I've now SORN'd mine but I will sort out a few issues in readiness for normality - hopefully not too far in the future. Stay safe Mel.
May I make a suggestion on positioning your windows! Place an earth magnet on the panel from either side then touch the opposite side with a nail until you find the magnet.
Only just found your channel Mel. Excellent job with the windows mate..yer the height of that little window is just right mate. It would have been too low. So DVLA says it has to have 2 windows..didn’t know that. Is that 2 per side. I Wanted to go stealth .Regards Jim
Hi James thank you for joining me I really appreciate everyone the DVLA say they want 2 window in at lest one side of the van I put two just because I wanted the extra ventilation good luck with your build 👍😷👍
Hi Mel, i have just got my windows today for the back of the van plus one for the sliding door. I have watched many videos but find yours to be the best. I even have the exact same jig say as you have. So may be tomorow I will have mine fitted
Hi Mel, great tip to protect the paintwork from metal filings. Van looks amazing and great job. My only problem is how are you going to drop it off to me with the social distancing rules😂😢 Stay well and look after yourself. Ash from 🏴
I have two of these fitted either side of my van for the my bedroom and one on the side door and other side ;) I love the little windows ;) looking lovely Mel 😊
Where were you two weeks ago when I fitted mine!? Agree wholeheartedly with your recommendation! Great company. Just finished fitting Unistrut to the roof of my Crafter, in preparation for a solar panel a kayak rack and Fiamma awning! Thanks for the fitting method!
Excellent you have done this video, Mel! Those windows look great. Price very reasonable if this includes the fitting kit. I got a solar panel after all! Makes sense. Daft not to. Much encouraged by your consistently superb content etc. Once again, thanks.
That cheeky grin when showing off the new inside
Thank you 😊 👍😷👍
Good morning, just to let you know I have scrubbed up my knowledge again by watching this video and am ready to fit my windows today ☀️🚐☀️ - pip pip!

Nice one Mel, loving the fact you're 'keeping it real' with the postie making a walk on part ! Great job .👍👍👍

Hi Mel what silken did you use for the rear windows
@@chrismartin5772 Hi Chris. From watching the video I believe Mel simply used the silicone provided by the supplier of the windows. But that said I'm sure Mel will indeed correct me if not the case..👍

Cracking job on the windows Mel and also on the whole van, I can see why you want to keep this one 👍
Thank you that’s really nice of you 👍😷👍
The Van's coming on a treat Mel - that does really open it up with just those two small windows ..... Looks 'cooler' from the outside too :-)
Thank you 😊
You make it all look so simple to do. If I did it window would fall through 😂.looks great Mel
Hahaha I’m sure you could have a go 😊👍
cracking job Mel. Look forward to the next one. :-)

Top job mel 👌👌
Thank you 😊
@@BigVanSmallWorld is that a 12volt TV you have ?
No it’s 240 from Argos
Nice video Mel. I think the 'stealthy' has gone out the window 🤣. Have you considered putting a sunroof in with decking up top? Same as 'Liam the Terrible', 'Lost in Europe' and other Vanlifers?
Thank you and yes it’s kinda stealthy lol and definitely no decking on the roof I don’t like heights lol 😂
Great guy Paul at lesure van windows, excellent job Mel 👌
Thank you yes he is 👍
Great stuff Mel, well done Thankyou! Stay safe. Mick
Thank you mick 👍
Good job once again. Thought crossed my mind for future reference. Support open window with a piece of wood and a couple of G clamps would create more force than just tape. Just a thought🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴
Yes that’s true shame I didn’t think about that oh well it’s all working out ok 😊👍
Mel’s Van World I’ve fitted five windows over the last few years. It only dawned on me watching your video😂😂 stay healthy 🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴
Good job Mel! Now we just need to beat this virus and enjoy our vans. I've now SORN'd mine but I will sort out a few issues in readiness for normality - hopefully not too far in the future. Stay safe Mel.
Hi Robert that’s not a bad idea sorn it save paying the tax for a van that can’t go anywhere in I’m on it lol thank you 👍😂👍
Good job Mel, great idea with the cardboard and lining up the holes.
Thank you 👍😷👍
Great video👍👍 Can you fit these windows into a fiber glass high top ? Thanks
Thank you I’m not sure 🤔
fantastic job Mel
