Really enjoyed your van life video, just want to wish you luck with the build of Big Merlin and looking forward to when you and Raisin are out on the road in him😍😍, lots of of love 🤗😘😘❤️xxxxx
😁👍Cool.. Hello to Big Merlin. You'll soon get used to driving around in it and as its a blank canvas and seeing your plans. It will be much comfier, roomier and reliable compared to the old merlin. Take your time with the conversion and it will be awesome 👍😁. Had a sneaky feeling it where a new van 😁
Good luck with the build. Loved doing mine.best thing we've done.shi5 me self when cut the sides out for the windows haha..Good luck to the pair of you.
Fantastic video and very exciting news to see big merlin begin to come together. Very much look forwards to seeing him once he's done after looking at that concept art 👍
Excited to watch the process of the van, looks a big improvement and I fully understand the reasoning for switching up. Enjoyed the video and the comparison was a good idea, keep it up! Al other best, cheers Joe. 👍🏻🏔🚐
Cheers Rachel thank you very much, will be a slog but can't wait to get our hands dirty👍 Hope you had a great walk yesterday with Lou and Lol, you had great weather for it ☺️ 👍
you have your work cut out for you, i watched paul messner convert his van, i will be watching yours all the way through, my other half has been on about converting a van so will be watching with great interest 👍
Hi Hay & Kyle 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ loving Big Merlin, quite a project but you guys make a great team! Excited to see your transformation the digital plans look incredible! The Pink Stuff paste in a tub (£1 a tub) is great on rust spots and not too abrasive! Good luck guys and all the very best! Your awesome 😎👍❤️💋
Hey chaps, it looks like you van has had the off-side rear panel replaced, so make sure you do plenty of rustproofing around the joins of this panel, just to be on the safe side. :-). You'll enjoy the Transit, we had a Mk6 LWB and it was brilliant.
Hey, thanks for the advice! Always appreciated as we are newbies to this 😅 We assumed it had a new panel will make sure it's rust proof 👍 can't wait to make a proper start on it 😁
Hi guy . Love "Big Merlin " and can't wait to see the finished product . Loved "Little Merlin " but I suppose needs must an all . Can't wait for more Peak District stuff as well . Later guys .
Best of luck with the van build, looking forward to seeing it take shape in the coming months. Have loved watching your vlogs over the last 18 months as we love the Peak District as well. Best of luck. Cheers Graeme👍
Thanks Graeme 👍 we've been waiting on drier weather to be able to cut the holes for the windows etc 😅 with all the rain we've had in the peak district definitely not been ideal 😅 roll on spring 🙌
Just want to wish you both good luck on your Big Merlin build. Enjoyed this introductory video of the start of new adventures for you both...and Raisin of course! We'll be watching with avid interest over the next year and picking up tips for when we upgrade on our van too! Love you both! See you soon. Mutti xx❤❤
Enjoyed this, especially the virtual reality of what the van could look like. Would be cool to see the van sprayed a different colour with your channel logo on it 👍
Cheers ladies 👍 yeah the 3d tool has been useful for planning it👌 yeah we are thinking tan for the new colour- not too keen on the white! Hope you both has a great walk the other day, incredible turn out you had, looking forward to watching the vid!! 🤘
Been subscribed to your channel for a while and watch all your stuff but really looking forward to the van conversation! Just a thought but taking a wire wheel to the rust blemishes and applying a rust converter such as Kurust before applying the paint may just hold back the rust for a little longer. Excited for you!
Hey! Been watching a lot of your peak district adventures, they’re awesome! Any recommendations where to park for overnight stay in our campervan? Planning to visit end of March for a week!! xx
Hey! ☺️ Thank you very much! To be honest the only place we've stayed at is just underneath Mam Tor for 1 night stays a couple of times in our old van. Park4night will be the best bet for you for some recommendations 👍👌 ☺️
I’m so excited to see more of this.. are you having swivel seats? Are you adding any other windows? What about electric ? Haha sorry I can’t wait to see :)
Not sure about the swivel seats, need to have a seatbelts for the dog as he has to legally be strapped in so the double seats going to stay 👍 😅 so far settled on at least 2 windows for the bed area and maybe one for the seating area. Electric- solar/split charger and maybe get a jackery supposed to be quite good 👍😅
Not in the same league as your good selves, however Mrs C ,daughter and I have just returned from the Lakes in our humble Ford Fiesta,...brilliant...keep safe and well..E.
Ahh don't be silly! 😅 We had a ford fiesta a few years back, best car we had never had any problems 😊👍 glad you had a great time in the lakes, we hope to be up there later in the year!
