OMG we just picked our van up yesterday. Exactly the same as yours. Planning to do exactly, what you are, when finished. Like you we have maxed out on all the you tube videos. And don’t forget the sound proofing guys. 😀😀
Great job. Making us a little bit jealous😫😂 Doing all the boring stuff now will save a lot of hassle later. And when you wanna sell you can show buyers what’s been done underneath👍🏻Definitely insulate the floor. The road and exhaust get super hot. You don’t wanna cook Lucky and Peppa😱😂
Thanks Shelley yea I think we’ve decided we will insulate the floor and hopefully keep some of that extra heat out thanks for watching it’s a slow process but learning a lot already
Great start guys 😊👍 Definitely insulate under floor ! Jas do you remember laying on the concrete pads in the caravan park well after sunset because they were still nice and warm ?
I'll put in a vote for not insulating the floor. Insulation in Australia is mainly about keeping heat out and insulating the floor doesn't really help with that. Also so much easier to get a solid squeak free floor by just gluing plywood straight to the metal floor. Check out Mitch Cox aswell as Max & Lee youtube channels for their insulation videos (they are Australian).
Thanks Andy yea it’s a tough one te the insulation, had a few different opinions on that one I have watched max’s build (no insulation) and also salty vanlife (who did insulate floor. So I’m confused lol 😂
so cool seeing it all come together; i Know this this is the barebones and just the tip of the ice berg; but its so important for these things! lol DERP... we have all done it :)
I'm curious...was it hard to find windows? Are they expensive?. I'm just starting my search. I'm a bit nervous about how to install them hahha. We can do it.
There are actually a few different companies that do camper windows, I’ve just ordered my 3 and I think it was a couple hundred bucks each. There are a couple great videos on it, we will also do one in about 4 weeks if the windows arrive in time
Hi Guys what year is your Van .how wide and the length inside (I thinking to make one and need the area dimention to start building cabinets) thanks follow you step by step .thanks. good luck

Much excitement!! It’s great to see the van with its bare bones ready for everything to go in!

Good start :) probably better cooktop has wall rather than windows as I’d be forever cleaning pan spatter off glass!
Yea very true Frank on the splatter thanks for watching man getting there slowly
Definitely insulate the floor guys! It will even help with sound deadening while you are actually travelling!
Yea I think we have decided to insulate can’t really hurt to have that extra layer
I'm doing a van now and enjoying your videos.
That’s awesome man what did you get?
@@BradandJaz LDV Deliver 9
Love that I get to see your adventure unfold right from the start ❤
Thanks for joining us on the journey I’m sure there will be lots of ups and downs but excited for the challenge 🙏
The floor sound deadener pretty much insulates as well. Sticky foil sheets.
Cheers mate yea sound deadening is the next job on the list
@@BradandJaz enjoy that. Haha
A good start..well done
Slowly slowly lol
Do the floor insulation. For the bit extra it’s worth it.
Yea I think we’ve decided we will 🙏
Great start guys 😊👍
Definitely insulate under floor ! Jas do you remember laying on the concrete pads in the caravan park well after sunset because they were still nice and warm ?
Thanks Ma, yea we’ve decided to do the floor as well. Try and keep it comfortable in there 🙏
Cant wait to see the end result. I think more window, the better! Gotta capture those views. Also the exterior of the van would look better I think?
Yea we are definitely looking forward to having those windows in and getting to see some beautiful country 🙏
