- Hi guys! This video is an ANTI-van tour, in which instead of showing you only the best parts of our van, we will focus on everything that we haven't fixed yet, that needs maintenance or things that we'd like to change after a year of living in the van. Consider this video a "To Do List" of all the things we'll be fixing and sharing here in the future.
And also, in the second part of the video we will show you a night visitor that crawled into our van when we were sleeping, the night before we shot this video. ;)

the kindness and compassion you showed to your confused little guest = INSTANT subscribe! i know i'm late to the party, but this vintage RV is SO COOL! i own a 1986 VIXEN TD (another cool/vintage/retro RV). it needs updating, but luckily mine was very well taken care of and is almost 100% stock as a result. looking forward to watching the rest of your videos! Skål!
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thanks for the support!
A Vixen TD! cool is it the one with a slanted front? like triangular? They must be very uncommon very cool project! 🤗
'Skål🍻
@@Beelzebus Thats the one . The TD roof pops up on a long hinge - so it fits in the garage when down, but its 6'8" when popped up!
Another great Video Katia and Björn, thanks a lot. A self built Campers work is never done. Mine isnt ready, because of full time working, a little funny dog, who always wants to play and some other little issues. Two weeks of vacation soon will bring me forward. Greetings from Germany, Markus
Thank you! Nope just to keep at it! No stress everything takes the time it takes 😉. Do you mean the little guy in white 😉
have a nice vacation 😃🎉
Top kitchen cabinets
Can held closed by the two door knods with a capital E shape of wood slotted downwards
Which are easy to put in and take off
Like a M Over the 2 door knows
. .
Thanks! great idea! =)
Very informative anti-van tour! But damn, when Björn was caressing that ladder... that sound gave me goosebumps!
Thank you! Ha ha ha that gave you goosebumps? ;)
@@Beelzebus yes, it was like fingernails on blackboard to my ears haha!
And all three go back into the bat mobile bus
There sitting on the driver's seat 😂🤣😂
😅👍
508 is my fav bus
You guys are living my fantasy ❤️🤞🏽
Awesome! ;)
pro tip : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Brandon Wesson yup, have been using flixzone} for since november myself =)
Love what you did with your wee visitor - it was kind and the right thing to do ❤️🦇
Thank you so much =)
Love that video, we also live in a 508d! You scared me with your story about the broken fan, I immediately checked ours... Fine so far
That is awesome! 🤘😃. We suspect it was the temperature and maybe a old crack that did it in because the day before it happened we had -30 degrees celsius. ❄
very nice build
Thank you!
I gave a thumb up after 38 seconds for the beautiful intro. :)
Thank you so much! =)
Instead of a winch you maybe better can buy a Tirfor 800 or 1600 (the 800 is plenty strong for your bus). So you can recover both forward and backwards :)
Thank you for the tip! We also wanted to have the option of winching both ways, so we´re going to try making some extra brackets and sliders so we could use the winch we have allready to go both ways under the bus hopefully,
Tirfor 800 takes 800kg? we have a wich for 6000kg ha ha ha guess we overdid it, we we´re worried that since our bus weighs 4,5tons then we needed a stronger winch.
Unicat recommands for a 12/16 ton 4x4 truck a tirfor 1600. That is enough for self recovery. If you bring a snatchblock you can double the pulling power. 6000kg winch is nice to have! Get some yellow hoist straps 3ton (break strength is 21ton) for around the trees. And 4.75T shackles (break strength 23.75T)
Guys! You're awesome! I saw a video at Nate Murphy's channel and felt in love with your bus! Very smart solutions. A shower idea is brilliant!
Awesome! Thank you! That´s so nice to hear =)
About your table, you should definitely take a look at the Lagun table, it would be a good fit for you. It's a bit expensive but very effective.
Thanks for the tip! we're going to check it out :)
I love it when you talk about the duct tape :)
HA HA HA yeah! 😅😅😅👍
Nice 508 these vans are the strongest 👍
That´s what we´ve heard! Let´s hope it´s true =).
Good upgrade ideas especially the rad fan and winch. 😎💡👍
Glad you like them! We´re also looking forward to getting those upgrades. 😃
Dere har en kjempefint kjøretoy! Lykke til!
Tackar så mycket! 😀
sometimes you just need to be happy with what you have......
Wow such a nice video.
Thank you 🤗 it´s a cool place to visit if you ever go to Gotland.
Put a couple of hairbands between your cupboard door handles and the opening problem should be solved!
Great idea! Thanks!
Love the vids! Any new ones coming up? Love to see the shower build and others..
Thank you Patrick! We´re working on it! Stay tuned 😃👍
Plz visit to Nepal with this van....I love this van very much
Thank you so much for your kind words! Maybe one day we will! That would be a dream come true! ❤😍
Great video guys!!
Thank you so much, guys!🤗
Awwww poor wee thing! 🦇 a hole in the ground would be too cold and dangerous for a bat... they can also fly in the day because they use echo-location so the light isn’t the issue - they just know it’s not safe to be out because of day predators. if it happens again and you’re staying in that spot until the evening, the best thing to do is to tie a dark coloured shirt or sweater around a tree as high as you can, and try to get him to crawl under. If he’s still there when the night comes, you remove the shirt gently 😍🦇 🙏 very sweet how caring you were to it!
Thank you so much for the tips! That´s great! now we know what to do next time if it happens again. 🦇
Great Vid!
Thanks!
Grate job mate 👍
Thanks 👍
lovely Düdo, nice build! looks tasteful, with warm materials and a quality finish. is the outside decor paint or foil? enjoy your trips!
Thank you so much! The black part is a foil that Katja designed.😃
Спасибо за видео, привет из Сибири😉
Thank you for watching! 😃🙏
Hi guys! From what car did you got your swivel front seat?🤩 looks super comfy 👌
There's always something to improve on your rig 😁 That was crazy with the bat.. definitely don't get up before 8 again..lol.
You got that right! everything that happens before 08:00 is dangerous! 😉
Hi guys, wonderful project! I
We've got a question: you said you lowered the floor to get to 1.9m height inside. How did you do it, exactly? How high was the van before (like in the paper)? We'd like to do the same but we would start from a van with a height (on the paper) of 2.85m and we don't know if that's possible. Thanks a lot and keep going! Sabri & Mario
Hi! Thanks!
we don`t know for sure, the floor the former owners put the old floor on top of the original beams of the van, so we took it all out and insulated inbetween the beams so we got the floor hight down about 5cm. But it totally depends on how the floor is done in you're van? its hard to say ;)
I want to live that life
Get a vehicle and start exploring! 😀
👍
👍
Do you ever have engine problems with such an old van?
Luckily No 😃 It´s called the Mercedes 1000000mile engine 😉 and it´s so old that we can fix everything ourselves 👍👌
What do you do about condensation?
We have a diesel heater as a heating source so we usually don´t have any condensation. 👍
Hi, the dimensions of the Tires / Wheels Thank you
