Just want to say/remind you, this is YOUR adventure, we're just lucky enough to be along for the ride. The only consideration you need to make is, is it right for you? If you answer yes, then nothing else matters! All four of you are amazing (yes, I'm including your dad!) and the van looks amazing. This is coming from some one who's wife puts the emergency department on standby any time I get out the power drill, so you can only imagine how amazed we are a the work you've done in such a short period of time! To all the "criticism" (I'm sure it's meant to be positive), my daughter says, "shake it off, shake it off" ... yes that's a pop reference 😉
You've done an amazing job. The colours combined with the wood give it the much needed warmth so it doesn't have that white sterile ambulance look. It's very cosy and those tiles are just beautiful. Well done. Looking forward to your Italy trip now.
Absolutely love what you have done with the van.....love the tiles as a quilter love the colours ❤❤❤❤.....Really love watching your vlogs.....and excited to see your travels ......so thanks guys ....xxxxx
Side opposite of hinges, does the side panel screw on. If so pull that panel, slide front panel out, finish peeling and reverse order reinstall. Maybe 4 minutes start to finish. Safe travels.
oh and, if you want to change the color that would be the time. An unmounted piece of formica or other material, ? galvanized tin? would substitute nicely.
Tile work is terrific! Put some beeswax on the wood bits of the bed where they slide against each other, and it will be very easy to slide the bed frame in and out.
As the great Frank sang "I did it my way" - Originality, innovation lives on. I did my van in a similar way, they are our "babies" and suit us fine!! Well done Ben and Emily and have a good trip!! John
Hi Ben & Emily: Emily did a stellar job installing and grouting the gorgeous Spanish tiles. It really pops! And the sink is the piece de resistance! Love the cabinetry and handles, the cladding, and the pops of color around the van. Your bed looks comfy too! Can't wait to see you next week as you begin your journey to Italy. Have a great weekend. Jenny
Ben and Emily, Considering your time schedule and the tight space, you have achieved so much in such a short time. Hope you will be able to sit back someday and appreciate what you have done. Emily, you appeared to be more stressed when the two of you took that hike and you had problems with acrophobia. Last week you asked if anyone had any good ideas about cutting the tile where the sink goes. How did you finally cut the tile? The hole is so well done. Mark Alberta, Canada
Sometimes when things don't work out as planned (window) you will end up finding exactly what will fit your very whimsical colorful rustic style on your new adventure! You've already managed to make a very cozy set up that very much suits your style!
Wow you two, it’s really looking great! Good luck on your journey to Italy. 🇮🇹 Say hello to Magic Wave. (errr, ummm Dave) ✨😂 How wonderful to have him help you with the van renovation. Looking forward to your next video to see what shenanigans you have been up to. 🚌 Love & hugs to you both & Allan too! 💕🐈⬛🇨🇦
You guys are just great. Love your work and looking forward to traveling with you. What a wonderful man that plumber was coming to give you some tips. How wonderful is that. You did a great job with the tiling Emily. Regards from New Zealand.
You've done well to get the van virtuality ready to go. I noticed there was advice on how to get that sealing strip off. There's always someone who has had experience with those sort of things. Good luck on you travels.
All the best for your journey to Italy,,that conversion looks brilliant with thr tiles and cupboard colours I'm amazed at how well it looks,well done,Alan will love it.🎉
16:35 Emily's not just smiling, she's glowing! 👀 23:15 maybe a razor scraper? You're not going to cut a hole in the bulkhead between the cab and the main body? You'll really want that when it's raining hard or cold and you don't want to step outside just to go from front to back.
Have you considered the weight of the tiles and all the other bits you have put in the van and are you going to check weigh the van with full tanks that’s fuel gas and water you could be in for a surprise
Amazing! For 2 non professionals, 3 with Wild Wave Dave, you have done a fantastic conversion in record time. I think those tiles have to be my favourite part as they are beautiful 😍. The slide out bed and table are very clever too. Enjoy your break away and I shall look forward to your European adventures xx
What’s not to love about it? I think it’s it’s great! I’m so happy that a viewer that was close by came to your aid. It’s lovely that people like her still exist. Emily you look like you’re 15 when you’re really happy, you just look radiant! So do you, Benny! I don’t wanna leave you out you’re radiant too, Alan is always radiant. I don’t feel I need to add that.
It doesn't matter other folks thoughts on your build... If you enjoyed the experience and are comfortable with your choices in kitting the van... That's all that matters.
You are an amazing couple! Soo inspiring! I can't believe what you have achieved in the allotted time! Looking forward to the tour next week.....well done❤❤
What an amazing job, well done you guys. I LOVE the tiles. We have some spanish tiles round fireplace, but nothing like as beautiful as those ones. Envy !! Oh and happy travels, take care.
Just bought myself the exact same ambulance! So excited to get started and eventually get to travelling in it! Looks like it’s going to be a lot of work but all in due time💪🏼
For some strange reason at 15.12 Benny reminded me of Dr Evadne Hinge, you may have to look that up due to your age, only joking guys. you guys have done a great job in so short a time, i really like the tiles. did you break any ? have a safe trip, i love Italy.
You sound like that song ," I did it my way " ,me i think you are both mavellous ,what you done by working both together ,God bless on your travelling 🍷🍷🍾
The lamp-post by the canal. It's pure Narnia. Also, the inside of the ambulance has rules: use restraints, no smoking, o smokin, os mokin. 23:05 use a heat gun to melt the plastic from the seams, or veeerrry carefully cut away the plastic with exacto knife - light pressure. Do this on the road while you're in line for the ferry ⛴️, or sometime
Okay - this is super exciting. Ginger will be good pal/super annoying for Alan AND matches Magic Wave Dave. Oh - that's changed ! cool. Tiles are so great and 🌞bright. I had a lot of questions - it's you who's going ! Bring spare parts. Buon viaggio ❤
Happy adventures…reminds me of our trips away …3 times in Europe…first hitched 4 months, second trip a BMW and speedboat( sleeping under a tarp 😂, 3 trip a caravan , boat and motorbike….can’t stress enough do these things when your young ❤…will watch your journey with love
I absolutely love the tile! You're so right about the paint though, looks like what you'd find in the diaper or nappy of a newborn. Emily, you look so much happier since your viewer brought you advice and "stuff". Yay! I'm new here and think Bemily would be a great name for you two. 😘 Very attractive van, love all the colors! Can't wait to follow you guys on youtube! Bon voyage!
If it’s good enough for Alan…!
should hang a hammock type thing for Alan or a sleeping shelf
The van looks amazing. The tiles are beautiful ❤
Big thumbs up to the lovely plumber who helped you & to wild & wonderful Dave! Happy Travels

Razor blade for the plastic on the fridge. Looks wonderful.
Absolutely love what you have done with the van.....love the tiles as a quilter love the colours ❤❤❤❤.....Really love watching your vlogs.....and excited to see your travels ......so thanks guys ....xxxxx
Guys , run a candle along the wood beams of the bed ,
The wax then helps the slats slide
along each other 🤙
Ben for such a young person you are a very handy young man
Looking beautiful, well done. Can’t wait to follow along, safe travels ❤
I love what you did with the "No Smoking" sign (although it might not have survived the paint job!) xx
Get a hairdryer on the protective peel in the fridge…it’s usually enough to loosen it. Not always, but usually :)

What an awesome wrap to a hectic project. Nice job! Can't wait to see your vlog next week. Travel safely...❤❤❤
well done! 👏🏻 🎉 you’ve smashed it.
have the best trip!! 😊
Tile work is terrific! Put some beeswax on the wood bits of the bed where they slide against each other, and it will be very easy to slide the bed frame in and out.
I LOVE the conversion!😍. So much personality, but really functional too. Happy travels.
Love your build, the tiles Emily are Fab 🎉🎉
As the great Frank sang "I did it my way" - Originality, innovation lives on. I did my van in a similar way, they are our "babies" and suit us fine!! Well done Ben and Emily and have a good trip!! John

The van looks super, love the colours you have chosen, it is warm and happy. Good wishes for your travels!
The ambulance was such a good choice, looks awesome! Any other finishing touches you may find treasures along your adventures 😊
Ben and Emily,
Considering your time schedule and the tight space, you have achieved so much in such a short time. Hope you will be able to sit back someday and appreciate what you have done.
Emily, you appeared to be more stressed when the two of you took that hike and you had problems with acrophobia.

Love the colour of cupboards so glad you scraped the green lovely cheerful colours .

Tiles are nice. You could mix a bit of a blue sample pot in that green paint and do another coat.
Well done, you've done an excellent job and I look forward to following you on your next adventure.
I Like your Van have a good time in Italy😊
