    After watching your challenges with the cabinet and drawers I’m definitely using an Ikea cabinet for my van build. You guys always figure it out, and keep moving ahead. 👏

      Haha we don’t blame you, they definitely are a bit tricky, have had some good tips in the comments though if you do think about doing it yourself! Hope the van build is going well, thanks so much for watching!

    Guys, love the content. Super. I thought about doing the draws myself but decided to buy ikea ones at £23 a pop

      Oh no! Sorry, don’t let us put you off. We are honestly such amateurs and I think we made it harder on ourselves. Mel’s channel (big van small world) has a great video on doing it. Thanks so much for watching!

    Woohoo! Andy has the most resilient eyes ever! The trips back into the van where you left the tape measure are gonna be so much shorter, lol. Great video, awesome seeing you guys back at it making tons of progress. Nice work! 💛

    Heyyyyy Yoooou Guys 😂
    It was so nice to have you guys on our screens. Guess what. We became grandparents to a beautiful baby boy called Bobby 💙 He's gorgeous. I know, we sound so young 😂
    Ray is coming along very nicely. Lee has upgraded our van with new solar panels and diesel heater. Plus some new decals. I wish TH-cam did photos so I could show you. It is looking so damn good. Just got to plan our travels now.
    Hope you guys are well.

      Oh yesss where are you thinking of going travelling? Always fun to do some upgrades, Andy is looking forward to continued tinkering once the van is complete - it will never end 😂😭
      Thanks as always for watching and congrats again, really happy for you!

    Past few weeks we’ve pulled up some conifers to get the van closer to the house and used some garden seats to work out our van seat measurements, glad to see it’s a normal thing to do 🤣 love the video keep up the good work and squinting counts as eye protection 😝

      Hey Karl, thank you so much for leaving us this lovely comment, it's great to hear from you :)! Ah that is so lovely, the two of you will have an amazing time adventuring in that - is it already converted or are you doing the conversion yourself? Please do start up a TH-cam and let us know, we'd love to watch your updates! Thanks again, we really appreciate it :)

      No I have just started but I have got to get it running first as had problems. The van has only done 68k miles, I got it for £1850 but with that price was engine problems. Hope to have it running by next weekend.
      Thank you, my son can't wait to go traveling :). Think I will do the Instagram first and see how I get on. I am camera shy haha. Keep up your great videos guys I can't wait for the next one

    Just something to be thinking about. Have you had the van's weight checked yet?
    You are putting a lot of wood into the fixtures and fittings, water tanks, fuel etc it all adds up.
    It may be worth getting it checked just so you know all is ok when it's filled up with everything.
    You only have 1 to 1.3 tonnes to play with I believe, depends if it's front or rear-wheel drive.
    Good luck 👍

    Can you rotate the Truma 90 degrees to make the bench slightly narrower???

    • @lifeadventureprojects
      @lifeadventureprojects  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For us we want the ducting to flow at the back, so the Truma being like that keeps it quite clean. We also wanted an l shape for our lounge. 😂

    @Michael-m4y 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi is there a reason why you didn't turn your Truma around so you didn't need it sticking out so far

    • @lifeadventureprojects
      @lifeadventureprojects  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey! We actually did want an l-shaped bench anyway and it works well for where the vents need to come out - that was the main thought process behind it!
