    Just love it, you can't help yourself when it comes to "do it yourself" projects ! It's a great looker inside and outside. Driving down the road in this machine must be a great feeling of accomplishment. Bravo again, oh did I mention that I just love it ?

    What an interesting fabrication this is!
    Irrespective of one's personal taste regarding the interior ((like the fixed, low roof) the engineering and fabrication are very neat, and the exterior finish is gorgeous.
    The ergonomics are good and the children have their own fixed beds, something they wouldn't have in a regular Transporter.
    For those that say that it's too small, they miss the point that this is exactly what the builder and family wanted, so if they want it different, build it and show it to Channel 4 and see if it makes the cut!
    Well done to the featured builder and family, your rig is gorgeous!

      wasn't about space tbh, I could have put a poptop on it if I needed space. I was originally going to buy a 26ft trailer but this was to recycle and the trailer can be stored on the drive rather than pay 2k a year for a site.

    i have no idea what a new caravan costs, but at the end of the day he has created what he wanted on the budget he had available to himself. Well done him. Neighbours must appreciate not having a vehicle scrap yard on the driveway as well.
    Obviously he could have made it bigger, but presumably not within the funds available to him.

    The two biggest advantages are having proper belted seats for travelling and being able to leave the living area on site. If the kids get into hobbies like mountain biking or kayaking you could build a cargo unit from another van.

    I always love to see the transformations in this programme and this guy has an amazing talent , but to me it's still a bit too cramped. For a couple on their own it's great, but for a family it just doesn't seem big enough. I know that's the point but the kids are going to grow and they'll need more space as they grow bigger, plus think about those rainy days all the family tucked away in here. It's a shame they couldn't have made some kind of extension. Or could they have just got a cheaper caravan and transform it then?

I guess at least you could leave the living part of the van at the site and drive off if you need to go shopping for supplies etc.
