Wow! We are so impressed with each of your videos Alex, Erin, Bella and Toby. It's so good watching you step by step while you do life as a family. Come on Bertha ... I personally love the way you think Alex ... The awesome part is you solve problems and you've got the skills to boot and you are both an incredible husband and wife team. Well done!!!
Thank you!! 🤩
You guys are rocking out & keeping it real... one if the few travelling You tubers that are actually doing this. You don't portray it to be what it's not. Love that you are doing these renovations on your retreat. We are ex retreat owners. Love how you keep your private lives to yourselves & you show us what happens when things go wrong with your van. You get our vote as best You Tubers at present! Things have come a long way since the 1980's when we did our first lap in a V8 HZ Kingswood & a 16ft franklin Caravan... Back then you didn't need to to have the best & biggest of everything. Keep on keeping it real guys. Well done!
Thanks so much guys! That setup would be my dream to do up and travel in!!
You all work well together. Doing a awsome job.
I've watched Megan and Jack since the troupe.
There a magic couple.
Thanks for the vid.😊
Thank you! 🙏
Great progress. Glad I have a composite caravan but interesting to see how the timber framed ones are made.
Composite are definitely the way to go!
This is great to watch, but i don't understand why the negative comments on timber frame caravans, like all things we build you must maintain standards and have preventative maintenance and in doing so enjoy what you create, good on you guys for sharing your experiences.
Thank you! Not trying to be negative on them at all, they certainly have their place in the market and we are just showing our experience and thoughts on them 👍🏻
it is so funny that you mentioned Jack and Meagan and then you did a "Jack" when you got the wrong staples 🤣🤣🤣
Haha you’re right!
The old purple paint on the tools, should have that with mine my work car got cleaned out last week and I had no way to identify my tools.
Oh that’s horrible mate! Sorry to hear
I'm enjoying watching this series. I love building & and repairing things, furniture & cabinets mainly.
We've had a few vans over the years, but I didn't realise how flimsy they are. Where would we be without the modern sealants? 😊
Thank you!
This is awesome to watch, a job most ppl are terrified to tackle. Great to see the whole family getting involved too. Looking forward to the finished project. Great work so far !
Thank you!
The way you present makes you mob so enjoyable to watch. Like most, I tend to over build with projects, adding unnecessary weight, etc. I really like that you show the "mundane" which is really helping me with my current van modifications. Thank you very much for the effort in getting these videos out. Wishing you all the best!!!
Thanks so much mate!
Best line of the episode… “How many is a million?” Answer… “one and six zeroes”, then Erin’s face 😂
😂 doesn’t taking anything serious!
As someone who has renovated a van! You're so lucky it just stopped not far from the front of the van with the damage.. we just finished the exterior reno and we re panelled the whole roof and exterior side walls too! Was a job and a half.. cant wait to see how yours finishes up!!
Yes we are very lucky!
Love your guys' videos!I'm doing up an old caravan and getting so many tips,so thank you!loving Jack and Megan too 😊
So glad the vids can help you! 🙌🏼
Just buy a bucket of black box wipes you will never have a problem with cleaning up sika products or silicone based products. Much loved friend in the vehicle building industry
Thanks for the tip, hadn’t heard of this product!
Coming along nicely guys I’m thinking your front boot doors will determine what size toolbox and where you can mount it closer to the van or closer to the hitch on the a frame
Thanks mate! I think we may struggle with the tool box situation
Good that your sealing it but I would of gone a 2 part epoxy timber preserver- I'm a boat builder trust me the stuff will never let moisture in. But in saying that it's looking great good on ya for giving it a crack
Thank you!
Loved watching Erin working on the Ozito saw. I think they're called multi tools, but to me that's a leatherman... Should be called a Wiggle saw!
Haha yes they need to be called by what they do! 😂
Spectacular job. The new front shape is going to make such a difference to the look of the van.
Thanks! We think it will too!
Those protective glasses work well on top of your head. With the corner of the sheet metal so close to your eyes, just one little slip is all it takes
Thanks mate
Loving the videos guys. Good luck with it all. I’d be too nervous to do what you are doing! Can’t wait to see y’all back on the road.
Thanks mate!!
Having repaired some damage to my Van myself, I am really enjoying your video's ,Thanks 🤗
Glad you are!
Love the look starting to come together. Love must say I have not seen the manufacturing of a timber van and this has made me happy our new van isn’t timber 😂😂
Thanks! Gives you a good insight hey!
Looking pretty sharp. The checker plate will look awesome on the new shape front.
Yeah we can’t wait to get it on to see!
Really enjoying these vids guys!
Can’t wait to see the end result, caravan building experience aside I take my hat off to you!
Be proud!😁👍
Thanks guys!! 🙌🏼
Jack and megan are doing an awsum job
They sure are!
Thanks for tip on the adaptors. I will be checking that out. The cheapy tools are fine for the likes of me, it’s just their damn cheapy batteries that let them down.
Yeah that’s right! Great product to save spending big $$ on tools!
Vid is great, sound is fine (in fact better than fine tbh) keep up the good work and great content - hands down the best van vids on the tube.
Thank you so much!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Looks good Alex and erin
Thanks mate!
Can’t wait for Erin to start saying ‘I used to build caravans’ now 😂😂😂 Well done guys 😁
😂😂 this is great!
Always good to watch. Is there a reason no glue was used to help hold the frame. Or is it just really not required?
Thanks!
Glue on the ends would hold enough, it would need to be doweled or dove tailed etc for the glue to work
Nice silicon job guys! 😂😂 never again. Thanks for following along. Hope to see you on the road one day. 👍
My two favourite channels combining! Now we just need @firetofork to pop up and it’s the trifecta!!
Cheers guys! Can’t wait to see Myrtle all finished! 🤙🏻
@captainkipper86 🙌🏼
What an awsome team, it looks good and sealing the meranti is a great idea.
Thank you mate!
Another great video only one mention of you building caravans come on we need more 😂😂😂
😂😂
Firstly I'm loving your videos and your rebuild, These videos are just what I needed as I'm about to do the same thing and never done this before ( I've done house Reno's), so your videos are perfect and the only type I could find. So Thank you.
P.s. Also wondering what size staples are you finding works the best ??
Glad it can help you! They are 12mm staples 👍🏻
Beautiful, the reason I asked is I have a staple gun that takes 16 - 40mm, so I'll grab a gun that takes shorter staples. thanks again 👍👍
It's fantastic when a plan comes together well done looking good
Cheers!
Cheers!
Thanks guys for giving me anxiety buying and older van 😂😂😂 Jjks
Sorry! 🤣
At least you can see how to fix it!
i like seeing a tradie that is ok with using ozito, you wont cry if its lost or stolen
If the tool does the job then it’s good enough hey!
Looking awesome guys
Thanks!
Good job guys 😊
Thanks!
I would paint all the timber with west system 2 pack Apoxy it will water proof all the timber incase off further leeks and stop the bare timber soaking up moisture , it's used on boats bloody expensive but the bees knee's , I bet the female viewers are excited seeing you warein that tool kit 😂
🤣🙌🏼
Looking good 👍👍👍
Thanks!
looking good guys
🙌🏼
Looking great guys. Can i ask what staple gun you use? We have no luck with the ones we get, keep on jambing up on us
Thanks! It’s an ozito from Bunnings
Might be a stupid suggestion but dont forget you’ll have boxes in front of the doors on the front hatch.
Not stupid at all! We are basically just seeing how it first with the doors then we’ll decide if we’ll have a toolbox at all 😁
Noice build.. looks like fun...
Cheers!
This is next level good to watch.
🙌🏼😁
Well I thought we were going to go one episode without hearing that you once built caravans but no lol......
Perhaps there could be a giveaway prize for the viewer who guesses correctly how many times during the entire build Alex says that ??🤣
😂😂
I love your videos but recently the audio seems to have changed. I am deaf in one ear and use one earphone in my "good" to listen to videos. I am now only hearing one of you speak. Please go back to your previous audio setup.
Must be our mic set up, we need them as the shed is very big and has an echo 👍🏻
It seems as though they are on different channels. If I swap ear pieces I get the other mic. I have never had this issue before.
We’ll look into it mate
Set your device to mono audio.
Cheers
Never thought of that. Thanks heaps.
Just highlights the original crap standards adopted in building these shitheaps on trailers comes home to roost
Unfortunately some products (since as the silicone) just not standing up to the test of time
Erin the tradie
😁🙌🏼
Shows how crap wooden frame vans are would never have one again
Not all are but like I say it’s just so hard to know if you are getting by water ingress without tearing it apart
Ha ha 10 fingers
You mean 8 fingers and two thumbs 👍
True!
Love your channel but can’t watch this build series your Mike don’t work and it terrible
No dramas! Thanks for
Letting us know 😁
I'm glad no further rot, Sorry to worry you that you lost sleep, NOT 🤣🤣, Seen so many with rotten bottoms, 😃, Save Yous so much work , , Looking good, Cheers 🤠🦘🦘🇦🇺
So glad you made us check! 😃
@@nowornever_aus , Don't forget the roof, along the edges, 🤣🤣More work, 😂😂😂, Good night, Sleep well
Loving the videos guys. Good luck with it all. I’d be too nervous to do what you are doing! Can’t wait to see y’all back on the road.
Cheers mate!
