See our simple way of building our van floor using the old floor as a template and upgrading the seating. Watch as we meticulously install the plywood floor, creating a sturdy foundation for our mobile home. We also remove the double passenger seats to replace them with a single seat, optimizing our space and enhancing comfort.

Hi ye all, grt too see the floor & seat going in ...exciting stuff . 🏴
Hi👋😁. Another little step closer 👍
Great job guys! Game changer! Watch your heads! Enjoy xx
😂. Can't believe we both bashed our heads🤦. Thank you for the comment 😁👍
well done on the floor and the front seat, love watching your content and keep up the good work.
ps: get a swivel base for the front seats and a table between the front and the backseat and you have a breakfast/diner table setup when you turn the front seats around. Cheerio
👍
Hi, thanks for the comment. Yes this is the plan😁👍. In fact the swivels are the next thing on my shopping list 😉👍
Fantastic build series loving the videos, I've came across you guys a few days ago and have binged a crap ton of your vids what a great family, looking forward to the rest of the build and adventures in Europe should visit Belgium beautiful country
Hi. Welcome to the gang. Thank you so much for your comment. Much appreciate your feedback. Glad you are enjoying the videos 😁👍👍
Hey guys, amazing video as always! SO jealous you had your original van floor to use as a template if we were to do it again we would be doing it the way you are - really excited to see what you do with your silver beast! And fair play to John coming out and helping, great job you guys!! 🤩
Hi. Cheers. Yeah having the original floor helped a lot. Busy working for about another 4/5 weeks, then I go full-time on it😱. You guys got a video today?
Oh. Just seen yours is up. Gonna watch now👍👍
@@life_uncharted you smashed it - we never realised about saving wood and laying them length ways 🤣 too late now lol. ah i bet you're so excited to be full time van converting. And yep, just uploaded so you don't have to stay up late this time 😆hope you enjoy 🙏
@@life_uncharted ah nice one, thanks mate!
Getting there now.....keep on keeping on 😊
Hey👋. Thanks. Yeah. Long way to go. One step at a time 👍👍
Looking good fellas. (And Ella, sorry. Wrote that before she appeared 😬) 😎👍
Ha ha. Cheers young man 😁👍👍👍
love the "going to the fridge' practice - minus the head bumps 🤣Good luck at work mate and hope you get time to keep uploading, we've found it quite a struggle and we're not working full time 🤣 all the best guys 🫡
Cheers. Just gonna grab a cuppa and watch yours👍👍
Oh a premier!
Yep. Try to do it every week now. But sadly I can't be at this one. But usually a couple of people in the chat👍😁
@@life_uncharted was nice to see you could turn up mate, i cant wait for you to hit the road, your going to smash it mate
Love your videos the way you talk to the camera is so good
@@jamesbond4981 thank you so much again. Yeah I managed to get to the Premier 😁. I honestly mean it. It's comments like this that help give me the extra little push I sometimes need. Thanks again
@@stevewaslin7171 thank you. It's only practice I guess. But used to do live videos of my work and got comfortable with it 😁👍
Another great video! Have you thought of putting a window in the side panel? Would be nice for the person that sits in the back to enjoy the views when driving around Europe. 😉
Hi👋. Thank you 😁. Yes I plan to add another window there. Just not sure what size to order yet till I know the shower dimensions. It'll be a hinged opening one👍👍
Isn't a window as you have put in the sliding door not an option? Then you have a large window and the piece the shower is blocking you can darken with some window tint. You can even put one in with a sliding function, so you can open it while driving, gives some fresh air for the passenger. I also like the look of them as it looks more original, but that's maybe my ocd. 😁
@@MrTrs1978 yeah I know what you mean. But I really fancy one we can open when it's raining once parked. Also opens wide up. Probably use air con when driving 😂😉
@@life_uncharted Good point, especially while camping in the UK. 😁 My experience is that the ac of these vans are only capable of keeping the front cool and fresh, it's not designed to keep the whole van cool. But you do what you want to do, it's your van and you're the one building it, everybody has their own ideas. Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying your video's each week. 👍
@@MrTrs1978 cheers. Yeah we already tested the ac. Seems to do a good job. But not had it in Southern Spain temperatures yet😂😂😂.
Loving this build series. As a parent who homeschools his son I can't wait to get a van and start travelling around Europe... Is the van a LWB? I think I've missed this in the videos.
Hi. Thanks for your comment 😁👍. Yes it's a lwb sprinter. Basically the biggest thing I could get before getting a Luton or a truck 😂
👍🚐😎
Hey. 😁😉👋
