Dearest daughter.. so glad you remembered to drive on the right. I always find it hilarious when I get back to Uk and it says it for miles... if you arent already on the left its probably too late. Glad you liked "Dee Nont.".. I've never been, but it looked like a good stop. Jealous of the beers !! The van is looking even better than when you left. Have a great trip.. looking forward to those medieval walled towns. Papa xx P.s. Alan says zzzzzzzz
You have found the dangers of stopping anywhere near Calais in anything that looks like a commercial vehicle. Be very wary on the way back. That being said another great video. Thanks you two
Being a more function over form kind of guy I say stop 'explaining' the state of your van. It has amazing functionality and the work you've done has made it quite homey, to my eyes. You should be proud. Does Alan not travel well in a vehicle, or is it just a question of not needing the distraction of looking after her? I'm sure she's having a fine time on the boat with Dave, maybe they should start their own Dave & Alan channel. My experience with many cats over the decades has shown me that cats like being in a familiar place, like the boat she's been on for years. What an adventure you're on! Can't wait to see it.
I love the way you have put your own touch on the van - it looks really great. As I said before I just absolutely love the tiles and your drawers look really great. Have fun
Spoilt...they should experience real life on street of Liverpool...let Benny boy fight for freedom in ukraine.hahaha Miss pushy should get a real job.... SALVA UKRAINE....
My wife & i have been tuning in for a while now, before the camper build,it looks great,love Bennys back ground music,you are both genuine,no click bait,just the way we like it,take care👍🏻
You’ve worked wonders in the time you had😁. I love colour of the cupboards particularly green❤️. Other than the area around Calais vans are safe and welcome. Not knowing where to park overnight is more than often a joy and surprise with stunning views. Look forward to your next snippet of adventures
I smiled my way through that whole video 😊 I love Bennys face when he’s drinking a good beer & Emilys face when she’s eaten something good. I shall be thinking of that enormous bun all night with jealousy 😂 have the best time guys xxx
I'm into vanlife so I only started watching your videos when you bought the van, but now I really just enjoy your videos because of your lovely personalities 😊
Bon viaggio. We had deadlocks on all the doors of our camper van which really makes it hard for anyone to get in. Fuel is cheap in Luxembourg so always fill up there and get a Starling card great for travelling in Europe,
I love that you have introduced everyone to Hendersons Being a sheffielder it is the ONLY accompaniment to have Loving your Chanel and following your adventures Lee, Davina and Quincy the dachshund
Oh guys…thought I might miss the boat and canals…toda’s vlog is the bees knees. The smiles on your faces tell it all! Hope you don’t mind I will be riding along vicariously! We need to get you to the US! Love and safety ….enjoy!
If someone tried to break in when you got to France, you'll need to be very careful coming home, or you might find you've got illegal stowaways in the back. How many vans have you had before, Emily? No wonder you are at home driving one. Yes. You've made an excellent job of the conversion in such a short time. The best thing about those top cupboards and drawers is that they are lockable. That pull out table looks as if it needs some support on the outer end, but great job all round.
Loved seeing your packing for the trip😂 pile em high …After breaking attempt might be worth having the escape route opened up into the front cab area you obviously got your tool kit with you🤣😂
I'm addicted to vlogs. I watch hundreds a week. You two consistently are in the top 10 along with forsetryforest and the sailing brothers. Many come and go but your great works soar! Travel on my YT friends.
💜Amazing what you have achieved in such a short period, you are creative people and do not let the grass grow beneath your feet. Clearly Emily is a natural to van life, you are both a force to reckon with.
Wow guys love your van, love the colours and all the lovely wooden cupboards and the tiles are beautiful, it’s such a fab cosy space 😀 have a great time, looking forward to coming along with you both on your adventures 😊 enjoy and stay safe 💜
You guys have done a great job on the interior of the van! It's interesting to see how it went from plain white ambulance to a distinctly Ben and Emily narrowboat look. You guys have a unique style that's all your own.
What a genuinely nice couple you come across as, it's been brilliant following your van build and its pricing to be equally as enjoyable following your travels. Very entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to make and share the videos :)
What an amazing pair you are. I to was worried about the switch but I can see this is going to be an equally enjoyable watch. Really impressed with what you have done to the van.
Please check if that green hose is safe for drinking water, in the usa we must use white hoses for drinking water, the green tastes like tires smell :)
I think you have done an amazing job on the van, especially in three weeks build time! I’m enjoying the trip so far and am looking forward to more. Thank you!
I love Belgium, i was going to the Munich beer festival once and i stopped in Bruges and ended up staying for a week. 🍺🍻😜 have a great time guys and thanks for showing us.
Wow your van is looking fantastic. you both and Emily's dad have done a lovely job.And it's lovely that Emily's dad is going to be looking after Alan and your narrowboats. Enjoy your week.😊
Loving the colours you used in the van & those tiles are to die for! It all suites you both very well. Thank you for bringing us along on your journeys. I just love seeing the old towns & the history behind them. You are doing a great job of giving us the background on these places! Enjoy your time away from the canals. Safe travels! Cant wait to see where you end up next. xx💕🇨🇦
Laughing at myself because of all the things I might comment on, it’s the Hendos!!! I’m glad you’re bringing a little bit of Sheffield on your European travels 😂
A quick top tip for you don't listen to bull poo. Red oxide always then any colour undercoat then your final coat. Don't use all this and that. I was offered job as paint foreman. Years ago with transocean. I declined as I worked full time on ship. Take care both and all my love to Allan she is so much like my 1st cat tiddles.xx
An amazing van conversion and it’s beautiful inside. Well done also to Dad (and Alan for her supervision 😉). Love Belgium, we’ve had a few holidays there. Please be careful though and look after each other.
What a wonderful video. Being away from the canals gives you two the chance to show everyone something new and exciting, and you’ve done that exceptionally well. Makes us think of doing something new ourselves. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊❤️😎
I am well impressed with what you managed to do in converting the ambulance in to a camper van in only 3weeks well done,look forward to seeing what you do.
Wow weesickles I can’t believe you are on your way in your fabulous new van build. My goodness you did so well in building your van ready for your trip! Fantastic guys!❤
Your van is amazing you are both incredible designers and home makers. Loved the drive with you , through the towns, new shops different food. Loved that your music was in back ground Benny, made it all very special. So looking forward to next week. All the best.❤️💙🎶
Hey guys the van looks amazing You’ve both worked so hard to complete it all On the subject of your paint on the overhead cupboards I’m a furniture artist in Australia If you use chalk paint it will adhere to anything just make sure you seal it to protect it but it definitely won’t budge once you e painted with it. Maybe give it a go over the painted areas Enjoy your trip I’m so envious take care 🥰
🎉So happy to see you enjoying the "van",the trip, the scenery,& the experiences. And the BEER, & pastry! It's fabulous of you to put up with the us helpful folks ,too 😂😂😂
I'm hoping to do a 90 day trip round Italy myself next year so it'll be really interesting watching you both on your trip. Didn't think you'd be ready in just three weeks so you've done really well getting your van ready. Hope you both have an amazing time. Dreams are for living. Good luck both and have fun. 👍
@BenandEmily it has been a delightfully unique journey watching you both throughout your van build adventure 🤗 What a wonderful experience it is to watch a day in your lives 💙
Wow guys….great job on the “vanbulance “ Love your tiles and the colour scheme in general. Am going to enjoy your travels. I follow a couple of You tubers from Italy.
Looking good and enjoy the trip. One of the drawbacks with a right hand drive and toll tickets is that the ticket is dispensed on left hand side of your van.so the passenger has to pick it from the machine. As soon as the ticket is dispensed the barrier rises. Just a further point what I found was helpful- as most people in Europe do speak english- greet them in their language then ask in their language if they speak english rather than straight in with ‘do you speak english’, I have always found it helpful and gets you off to a good start. I even do this in Wales but leave out the ‘do you speak english’ bit.
Very cool town of Dante, with the lovely buildings, museum, pastries and that cherry beer looks so good. Your van is very cozy, very Ben and Emily vibe, Love it.
28:37 Glass exhaust wrap for car exhausts, will ensure no-one ever burns themselves, if they accidently bump into the stove pipe. It'll still radiate heat, while protecting you from a burn on the elbow. It comes in black, or gold, usually.❤ ...There are also more expensive options. Because of a comment on my idea, maybe some even better home-made idea would be smart? Exhaust wrap, with a shiney stainless steel jacket? 😁😉
Be glad you got out of France its a dump these days, your now the second channel I've seen go over there in the past few days and had issues not long after, A fishing channel I watch was stalked and had three guys hanging around him for hours... You get there and had a attempt at a break in
Your van looks like you have been in it forever. It's GORRRRRRGEOUS AND SO COZY! You can't help but be carried away with your infectious enthusiasm and delight with whatever you are looking at or wherever you are. Loving the little longer vlog, so much to fit in. Well done, Em's dad, for helping them. The van is fab xx
Well, I think you have done a fantastic job, and like you say, it's just a little finishing touch that's needed. I think a trip away also helps find homes for things and, if any, and I mean any tweaks or changes, which I don't think you need. Stay safe. I look forward to the next time x

Ben, you should write a song about every ending destination, reflecting it's culture, style, mood... Even just a short little tune...
Dearest daughter.. so glad you remembered to drive on the right. I always find it hilarious when I get back to Uk and it says it for miles... if you arent already on the left its probably too late.
Glad you liked "Dee Nont.".. I've never been, but it looked like a good stop. Jealous of the beers !!
The van is looking even better than when you left.
Have a great trip.. looking forward to those medieval walled towns. Papa xx
P.s. Alan says zzzzzzzz
Pps.. the way Benny's playing in the back in Dover segued into the soundtrack was perfection... Intentional ? or more serendipity ? Xx
Ppps. I miss living in a bus !! But it's cool being here on the boat with Alan.
Your ambulance conversion is sensational. Very groovy, interior colours fab. Cant wait for the vlog on Austria.
fantastic enjoy the trip looking forward to next blog keep safe
I love your van😍 and I am happy that you enjoy your trip❤️so much! Thanks for taking me with you🙋🏼♀️🚐and all the best to you🙋🏼♀️❤️

That being said another great video. Thanks you two
Isn't diversity wonderful :-)

It's good that your father stays on the boat. So you 2 have not to worry something will happen to the 2 boats when travelling
Spoilt...they should experience real life on street of Liverpool...let Benny boy fight for freedom in ukraine.hahaha
Miss pushy should get a real job....
SALVA UKRAINE....
A super job you've both done transforming the ambulance, to a tiny home on wheels. Colours are lovely, tiles beautiful. 💚

I have been watching your vlogs for a while now, and you two make such a lovely couple, so relaxed, and your a absolute joy to watch and listen too,
Think you guys have struck gold with this ex-ambulance van!! So many good advantages!!
I feel priviliged to be able to share in your adventure through the Vlog. You two are an absolute joy to watch, full of fun and joy.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I smiled my way through that whole video 😊 I love Bennys face when he’s drinking a good beer & Emilys face when she’s eaten something good. I shall be thinking of that enormous bun all night with jealousy 😂 have the best time guys xxx
The van is amazing ! I love how you have even thought of a place to hang the bananas ...
Have a great time away guys i see Benny has brought his guitar with him the most important item for a road trip
In 3 weeks I think that's a great build on the van, very envious :)
Bens shower scene was perfection 😂😂😂
I've never particularly wanted to go to Belgium. I do now!
You have completely de-ambulanced the van. The inside looks so rustic and cosy 😍
You've done an amazing job on the van. It looks great! Enjoy the rest of your trip.
I'm into vanlife so I only started watching your videos when you bought the van, but now I really just enjoy your videos because of your lovely personalities 😊
It's massive !!!! But so cosy :) I actually put some of that sauce on my tea tonight Emily 😊 x

Wonderful job on your ambulance, enjoy your trip and fill your videos of things we don`t see in publicity.
Please check if that green hose is safe for drinking water, in the usa we must use white hoses for drinking water, the green tastes like tires smell :)
Hope we still get some content from Alan whilst you are away !!
