Regarding your allen key problem, yes there is a SAE version in addition to Metric. Both are slightly different sizes. You might want to inspect the screws to be sure they arn't "star" screws or even Phillips (more variations). Hope this helps.
You beat me to it, yes imperial and metric hex keys are indeed slightly different, they maybe "torx" set screws as you mentioned, but at a push hex key's can fit torx head screws and vice versa. 👍
Hint: much easier to use 1/4' hex screwdriver bits than L shaped keys. Screwdriver hand grip allows more torque and perpendicular bit angle to screw alignment is better controlled, less likely to strip screw head.
@@r33gtsbut if you don't get it in there just right and then the possibility of stripping it out, But Robert just find the right one and I have used 3/16 for a 5 mm and it will work but it's going to Strip when you don't want it to, but it's still best to get the right one and not having to try to get a stripped one out.that if it's not really a problem to wait until you get the right tools and then do it right 👍👍👍....
Rob and Charlotte, I so enjoy your weekly (for the most part) videos, chronicling your full time van life. You, and your Daughter’s Channel are what I most look forward to viewing each week, and both played a major part in my decision to transition to full time van life as well, here in the New England portion of the U.S. Many blessings go out for your whole family, I strangely feel as if I am a part of your extended family as well, because your channels have shaped much of my daily van life routine. Many, many thanks. Michael
Happy Birthday Charlotte! 🩷🎁💐✨🎶🎉I remember last year, ha ha!! 😂 Happy Anniversary 💍💞✨ you were blessed with loads of so goodies ,yum, 😋 cheers! 🥂 Such a lovely sunset beach walk ~ happy Coco is healing & enjoyed her walk. Congrats on the new toilet & comfy cushions! Nice highlights in your hair Charlotte & don’t worry Rob, you’ll be back on track with your teeth in no time! Happy travels. Looking forward to the cooking segments! 🥰🙏
Loved the Charlotte theory of keeping the dogs calm and behaving themselves by laying cozily on the bed, with the nice breeze floating through the van on a spring day 😂 I look forward to the cooking segment making a return, always loved this part of the show! Its been a key feature for so long 🙏
U’ two, young cool UK kids always trip me out! Keeping it real, authentic, stylish and relevant. Happy birthday Charlotte! Ame in a Van’ is a freaking rock star in her own right. ❤✌️🥁
Just found your channel and really enjoying it; I hope you had a lovely anniversary and a Happy Belated birthday. Many Congratulations on your anniversary. You are a wonderful couple and I look forward to catching up with your videos.
11:36 - I live near Cambridge, there is a town called Ely - I do not know how many, but many vans hit a train bridge many times, even though there are signs clearly stating the bridge does not allow tall vans or trucks getting through, this is why not long time ago there was a bypass made to get around the bridge... Still from time to time vans are smashing the bridge and causing disruption to other cars and eventually it may cause trouble to trains as well...
Hi you 100% need a torx key set to take the fan off. You need separate keys not one of the multi tool type as the key needs to get in at 90degrees just below the fan block. Make sure you locate the “flat” when putting it back on the spindle. I have sone both of mine twice.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Charlotte 🌹🌹🌹 lovely champagne cakes flowers a beautiful daughter and a great husband. Many more to come for you all with many exciting adventures. Take care have fun. Peace and Love 🌈🎶🎸💐. Andrew & Max 🐕🦺 (JRT 14 mths)🎉
Joyeux anniversaire à Charlotte, profitez-bien de ces bons moments en famille et ces jolis paysages, vous allez pouvoir ressortir les chapeaux de paille avec le soleil qui arrive 😊
Awesome video, congrats on your anniversary , since your having a clean up on the van, it maybe worth while having your van air conditioning sanitized, as bacteria does sometimes form in the system.
I guess you can never get too many birthday good wishes. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous, happy year. Your channel is cool! When you don't post, you are missed.
Happy belated birthday Charlotte ! And Happy Wedding Anniversary to you both.Greetings from an Englishman living in Poland.And well done Rob you are now a fully qualified Shit House Mechanic.Well Done.
Hey Rob and Charlotte. Looks like you had some fine celebrations together for the birthday and wedding anniversary with plenty of supplies to last the day haha! Well done on 30 years today! That is alot of years and you should have silver medals for that commitment! Wishing you many more happy years and fun times. You are a great couple, such nice people, the main attraction of this show even beyond van-life and the little doggies and the beautiful scenery you visit and adventure across ♥A nice plan to do a little tour, hope to see a few little glimpses in future YT vids or keep it private just for you two.
Hehehehehe como que casi nuca es buena idea cortar madera en líneas rectas, con un serrucho!!😂😅. Porque casi siempre tiende a salir mal, fuera de la línea y chueco!.😂😅
Late, Happy Birthday! Sorry have been avoiding TH-cam. Has been too much about squatters on here, which makes me mad. We are all doing this and work in different ways to fund what we are doing. And they think they can steal someone else's home. I hope I am not bringing up something that is sad. But I thought you had two doggies. I don't see the second one. Just saw it. Just had not gotten far enough in the video.
Yes Rob, Charlotte deserves the gold medal 😊. But she also made a good catch with you. And together you have an awesome girl. Happy belated anniversary.❤
11:04 yes you have metric and you have standard Allen wrenches they are just a hair apart in size. If your trying to use metric get some standard ones and you can repair the max air fan
Hi both, yes your Allen bolts being American could well be what was the old imperial sizes, you get from the States a mixture of stuff with metric and the old imperial size keys, for which you can still purchase a set of. Thank you.
Congrats on being with each other for 30 years. That's great when you consider the divorce rate these days and relationships always falling apart. Can't we all just get along in 2024..LOL You should post a photo of what you two looked like when you met. That would be so cool. Bet you two are excited about the summer olympics coming to Paris France this year. Pretty much in your backyard. Do you plan staying close by for the experience or running for the hills to avoid the chaos. Either way it should bring a lot of excitement to your area of travel. Thanks again for a great video, always enjoyable.
Happy anniversary to you 2 love birds, and happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 to the lovely Charlotte. 😍 👌 👍 🥰 ☺️ Many many many more blessed years to all the above. 🙏
It’s just amazing how certain appliances or furniture items require unique sized Alan keys. I’m afraid it’s just a case of trial & error until you hit on the right one. Good luck.
Thank you for another great video. Look forward to your travel video next week. You mentioned height barriers on some of the car parks - do you know what height they are set to? Thanks
Heya guys..... Good to see everything ticking along nicely, back in the game and crackin on, good on ya's 😃 Hey Rob, find the right size straighty to get those dodgey allen key bolts out, that works if you're in a pinch. Missing Charlottes cup cookin sessions, its art, dunno if she sees that but i do. Hope the fur kids are happy, and the other less furry kid 🤣 (shh) Have fun and Rob, dont let Charlotte get bored, or dodge doing product segments once in a while 🤣 En avant les campeurs!!
Jesus have we missed Charlotte's 21st birthday party 😂 you got to butter them up rob 😂 keep them on side , 47 shes still a sprog yorkshire for a young un , enjoyed guys , 🌞🙌
That cake looks good! I'm glad you all took the time off for Charlotte's birthday. Yeah married life...looks marvellous!😆 I'm only joking! I mean Ame looks like she'd be a joy to be with..😋😄 KIDDING! I adore that kid! Beautiful darling. 💕 God she's a dag!😁🥰 I'm so happy to hear about your teeth! I was wondering what was happening and ohhrr god you won't know yourself, plus they've had a really good spell to settle right down to normal. So I pray it all goes well for you Rob! I can't wait to see your smile!😄
Yeah, every once in a while you can use metric tools on American standard fasteners and vice versa, but it's not very often. So I just make sure I have a set of allen wrenches in both metric and standard sizes.
Add TomTom GO Camper Max to you bag and save £34.90 at tomtom.co/MidVanLife10
Happy anniversary, you should put up some photos from when you two were youngsters. 😊 would be amazing to see, 30 years hats off to the both of you

Happy birthday Charlotte for last week and happy anniversary. To both of you x x x x
Missed you last week but glad you had a great time. Belated Birthday Wishes and here’s to another 30yrs. Be Blessed Always🙏❤️

Happy birthday, Charlotte! 🌹☕
I don’t understand why this channel is not getting bigger faster? I really like them
A belated Happy Birthday to Charlotte. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎂🍰🧁🥂
Only a vanlife vid could start “come and see my toilet” 😂😂

Just found your channel and really enjoying it; I hope you had a lovely anniversary and a Happy Belated birthday. Many Congratulations on your anniversary. You are a wonderful couple and I look forward to catching up with your videos.
Loved the video!
Congratulations on the anniversary/Birthday/van upgrades etc.
The place looks beautiful and you all look happy together. ❤🎉
Hope you guys are able to stay healthy and shower more in the van then some of those public facilites. Happy 24 year anniversary
Put cloth or sticky tape over the head of the allen key bolt and use the closest size allen key wrench. That will fill the size difference.

Belated Birthday Wishes, Charlotte! Happy Anniversary as well Rob and Charlotte! Everyone needs a bit of time off now and then

You’ve still got to fix the panel up there…. Uh Yh…. Oh god 😂😂 cracked me up that
Happy Birthday Charlotte. You and Ame look like sisters not mum and daughter. Simply fabulous.
Don't worry about any comments about your teeth. Your wife is well dressed, beautiful, and taken care of. That's the sign of a true man!

Glad you had a good celebration last week. Good catch up 👍💙❤️
The van looks beautiful. Happy belated birthday Charlotte, hope it was a beautiful one. Love to y'all from Texas 🥰
So glad to see Ame in your blog thanks
Congratulations 🎊 and happy birthday 🎂
Yes Rob, Charlotte deserves the gold medal 😊. But she also made a good catch with you. And together you have an awesome girl. Happy belated anniversary.❤
American fittings will be imperial not metric. For a lot of sizes you can find one that works but for some you will need imperial
If the maxAir hardware all American, you"ll need an imperial set of allen keys. Metric set won't fit.
Happy Birthday
11:04 yes you have metric and you have standard Allen wrenches they are just a hair apart in size. If your trying to use metric get some standard ones and you can repair the max air fan
Happy birthday Charlotte. I can't believe its already been a year
You two make van life seem so easy! If only I could convince my husband.
30 years together, just know that real true love has no bounds. And may your next 30 years be absolutely beautiful. Peace out
Hi both, yes your Allen bolts being American could well be what was the old imperial sizes, you get from the States a mixture of stuff with metric and the old imperial size keys, for which you can still purchase a set of. Thank you.
Please happy birthday Charlotte
I've never heard of using elastic bands to kill flying insects. Duly noted. Happy birthday and happy anniversary 🎈🎉
Happy 30th Anniversary! Hope it was an Awesome Day! South of France must be AMAZING this type of year. Beautiful, Lovely, wish I were there.
2.5mm allen key fits tha maxxfan - we've just cleaned both of ours, amazing difference.
Your fan screws might be Torx screws Rob..they look similar but Alan keys wont fit.
Nice to see you two back and the dogs they are the stars hope all is well stay safe and stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
What is an elastic band? Is it like a rubberband?
Soap your saw next time. Thank you! Great video, great job.
Is it an Allen key or a Torx fitting?
Happy birthday 🎂 Charlotte

Love the music - Charlitte you look so youthful 🎉
Happy belated birthday Charlotte hope you had a wonderful day. Also best wishes for your coming wedding anniversary both of you.
The MaxxAir Fan thing. You tired it with a 2.5 mil allen key?
Thank you for another great video. Look forward to your travel video next week. You mentioned height barriers on some of the car parks - do you know what height they are set to? Thanks
Heya guys.....
Good to see everything ticking along nicely, back in the game and crackin on, good on ya's 😃
Hey Rob, find the right size straighty to get those dodgey allen key bolts out, that works if you're in a pinch.
Missing Charlottes cup cookin sessions, its art, dunno if she sees that but i do.
Hope the fur kids are happy, and the other less furry kid 🤣 (shh)
Have fun and Rob, dont let Charlotte get bored, or dodge doing product segments once in a while 🤣
En avant les campeurs!!
Yes there are imperial and metric Alan keys
We love watching you guys, keep up the great work.
Re:- the fan, just a suggestion if it’s from the USA it could be an imperial size Alan key.
Try a 2.5 mm allen (hex key) wrench for the Max Air fan.
Happy Anniversary, Happy Birthday, Happy travels 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎂🎉
Happy late birthday 🎂 and happy anniversary if I miss it ? Your an amazing family 👪 I love watching your videos.
THANKS FOR SHARING
Yes, these are two different dimensions. There is the metric UK and EU and the American imperial, they are slightly different.
There are standard and metric sizes for the Allen wrenches
Super video! Happy birthday! 🎉
All of you are great.
I love the videos.I'm going to build a van of my own☺
Jesus have we missed Charlotte's 21st birthday party 😂 you got to butter them up rob 😂 keep them on side , 47 shes still a sprog yorkshire for a young un , enjoyed guys , 🌞🙌
She need her own cooking TH-cam video ❤❤❤❤
Yeah, you need to get SAE Allen keys wrenches instead of metric
That cake looks good! I'm glad you all took the time off for Charlotte's birthday. Yeah married life...looks marvellous!😆 I'm only joking! I mean Ame looks like she'd be a joy to be with..😋😄 KIDDING! I adore that kid! Beautiful darling. 💕 God she's a dag!😁🥰

Americans use imperial Allen keys as opposed to metric so you need imperial sizes
Your Allen keys will probably be imperial not metric. Happy birthday and happy anniversary!!!
47 never looked so good
Yes sae and metric ones 6 mm and the others 6.3mm
Allen Keys 🔑 are universal , you just need the right key 🔑
Congratulations both enjoy your day! Im a fan of Ame!
A big thanks Rob and Charlotte... very nice video... see you next week... Bye 🥰🥰🥰
Oh well happy delay'd birthday Charlotte. Good to see you and everybody again.
Happy happy joy joy😂 lol.
America uses the imperial system, so they are probably imperial allen keys sizes (inches) We use metric here in Europe (mm).
Happy Birthday! and Happy Anniversary!
