Great Build Adz - have you seen the recirculating glycol floor van tech heating system? looks great and winner well log buner in this with oven and hot water be cool.
Best build video I have seen. No BS and spending 10 mins on a sink and tap like many - Yes different audiences perhaps but for me this is the one I enjoyed the most. My opinion only. Fast paced but still retained vital info. Well done on this.
I totally agree. He respects his viewers' time by using clear, concise delivery with quick edits. These days, too many TH-camrs are in love with the sound of their own voice. Great video👍
Adz the attention to detail on your van is second to none even in places that will never see the light of day. You should give yourself a huge pat on the back as you have done an amazing job. I like the whole electical system the best as the planning and build quality must have taken hours, also i like how you have loads of wire ready should you need to add more kit in the future.
What a van! Thermal curtain is a nice touch and the electrics are 'Art in action'! I'm no expert on this but if I were going to the Arctic I might have added underfloor heating 🙂Well done.
This is just a perfect video. No filler. Just the facts. And with the important details (including when you changed your mind!) Keep up the great work!
@@MR_THINQWhen you do the work yourself it's not stupid money. All the furniture is handbuilt (except for the swivel bases for the seats), he re-sed as much as he could of the original timber paneling, he did the coverings himself. Yes, he put in quality electrics like Victron but you don't skimp on the important stuff. He added much more value to that van than he spent on it.
Bra,I'm a builder and watching ur video I was blown away by the amount of work u put I also the quality of ur workmanship would put a lot of boys to shame awesome job mate
Mate you have done a stonking job on the pigeon, looks absolutley amazing and very professional looking, maybe a career opportunity building vans!! The red duvet cover looks great against the black and grey, as does your matching hoodie!! Nice job mate I’d be very proud of myself if I had done a job like that. Looking forward to the upcoming adventure!!
I must say your van is absolutely amazing, stunning build you should be proud of that. I hope the pigeon does you proud on your trip safe travels look forward to watching.
Well done adz ....so jellybean was a good practice....I done Mt first build ..yet now I too want to restart and change so much now and ideas from yours look better ...Have fun on the travel mate ...look forward to the updates .....q? ....can you reach them boards o the side .....lol...
Looking great. You will get a cold draft from the bottom of the sliding door get something to put up against it to reduce the cold that comes in. Have fun in the artic circle
Incredible transformation. It really has been wonderful watching your journey from little jaunts in the Jelly Bean to seeing the Pidgeon ready to go. Enjoy it!
Van looks amazing. You should be really proud of it and yourself. I'm not sure the Arctic circle is going to be kind in the water dump, and I'd personally want a lot more insulation in it to keep me toasty.
Thank you for taking us along on your build and look forward to your new adventures. I'm sure you and your pigeon will have memorable times to treasure 😀🙌
Unreal attention to detail! The whole build into one video really makes you think of how man hours went into this! If you don't mind me asking what's the total expenditure on the whole build? More then if you was to buy one complete?
I would love to hear more about the electrical setup, for example how you monitor your batteries and top them up. It looked like the Jackery was the only source of AC power. Amazing van.
I've got to say out all of the van build videos I've seen, which is a blooming lot of them , the pigeon 🐦 is my favourite one to date. Love the way it has turned out. All the best with the trip dude and I'm already looking forward to the videos.
For a bloke you gave done an amazing job……. No seriously you have done a great job, yours is the first video I have watched from beginning to end. You are very talented.
Lee was awesome . Spent 3 hours with me going through all the options and the layout. I need to occasionally sleep 3 and have a shower for my off grid plans so it was tricky. Good luck on the artic
Awesome van Adz, glad you got it wrapped up and left the barn behind. All the best for your artic adventures and we did spot campervibe on your telly!! You vloggers must stick together 😂😂 the pigeon looks like a proper adventure-wagon...nuff said👍
Beautiful job. You should be proud mate. On a separate note, I’m doing some updates on my T5 at the moment and was talking to my local mechanic about larger wheels (love Rogue Alloys, nice lads too) and he warned me that all the off road Tyres that people using, are knackering gearboxes. Now obviously you need them for the arctic circle bit when you get back maybe change them to something more road focused ? Have you watched True Blue Travellers ? They’re ready where you’re headed, in their van. Full of really useful tips for dealing with freezing temperatures. Best of luck for the trip, 👍🏻
That is one of the best build videos I’ve ever seen! Absolutely flawless. You have come a long way with that build. Massive respect to you. Have a fabulous road trip. I’ll be watching 👍
This was a great, no BS van build video. Good job man! Some great ideas for my future build for sure. I liked the floating floor/wall panels idea. Too many DIY builds just screw self-tappers into their van willy-nilly. I know the vapour barrier argument is very divisive but I can't help but think that 100 holes in youyr vapour barrier isn't very effective.
Wow, A+++ craftsmanship. Favorite part is a tie between the heater/hot water heater and the outlet to charge via electric car charge stations. Beautiful build Adam. Safe travels mate.
This is a great video, Straight to the point of the build, definitely looks the part for all the effort gone into it and a nice round up video of it all. Safe travels 🥶
Adz top notch build mate you've come along way from the original caddy, keep it coming looking forward to more great content as always. One the best & funny without trying to be channels 👌😊❤
OMG 😮This is the best self built van I have ever seen. Absolutely 100% amazing. Job well done sir👏👏👏. Now go have yourself an amazing adventure safe travels.🙏👍🏻
The pigeon is a real Arc de Triumph mate! You should be super proud and I can’t wait to see you and the pidge in the Arctic! Happy travelling and stay safe 🤙🏻
Jelly bean would be so proud of this build mate! Its exactly how id want my camper van to a T.. if i had one that is 🫣 looking forward to the arctic vidz, stay safe 🤟🏻
Crikey mate. This video just shows that you are a great filmmaker. As you were building the pigeon, you had these great clips filmed that fit so well together. Good luck on the trip and thanks for the Josie shower clip. Bon voyage Le Pigeon.
Adz the vans looking an amazingly stupendous 9.854432! Looking forward to seeing the videos, I was in Lapland at the end of November and it was stunning!!!! Best of luck pal.
Wow cracking conversion, love the attention to detail and all the materials used, great power set up and that air fryer looks lush! Safe travels on your artic adventure. x
thats a nice build mate... great to see someone whose taken their time over the electrics and used quality gear... bonus points for the spare 12 tails!
Being a massive fan of True Blue Travellers who are currently doing the arctic circle in a converted sainsburys delivery van, I think Adz is gonna be in for a bit of a shock of exactly how cold its gonna be , but look forward to seeing how he gets on ❄️👀Good luck mate for giving it a crack 👍🏻
I absolutely love this build also great pacing for the video i enjoyed way more than other builds where they time lapse everything , i appreciate this walk through + explaining the process
Love the transformation of this Van Adz you’ve done a major job and so well finished!!! Love it and can’t wait to watch your adventures in the Arctic 🥶 stay safe ❤ Debs and Mark xxx
Just me who's looking for the shower and josie? Lol seriously note though.....wow! Great job. Been watching the builds for ages. No offence to the likes of love sundays/brendanXplores who I also follow but this is in another league. ❤ love it. Again, welldone
Great job man. I did a VW T5 back in 2017 and although decent and has most things watchign this makes me wanna do another - ideally one i can stand up in without the pop top and also walk fron driver seat to rear. Maybe a project for next year! Will have to look at finances and of course the age old issue of time!!! Safe travels bud.
This is a fantastic conversion! You've made great choices, both for practicality and decor. I'll be viewing your Arctic adventure next to see how the van is working out for you. In the meantime, really well-done! 😊 Lauren
I've converted my own van, it works its cozy it has everything I need, then I watch this and think mine is horrible! Great job done and cracking finish enjoy it and hope trip goes well, I'm off to start again 😂
Thank you! And I guess it’s like the whole ‘grass is greener on the other side’ thing. Because I often look at other vans and think I wish mine was like that! As long as they can take you on adventures, that’s what makes them amazing!

Best and most thought out / sensible van build I have seen on TH-cam. Great job mate.
Adz the attention to detail on your van is second to none even in places that will never see the light of day.
You should give yourself a huge pat on the back as you have done an amazing job.

Well done mate, van rocks! good luck bruv 👍
Thank you mate! It’s much appreciated!!
What a van! Thermal curtain is a nice touch and the electrics are 'Art in action'! I'm no expert on this but if I were going to the Arctic I might have added underfloor heating 🙂Well done.
Great stuff we'll done
What a build!! You should feel extremely proud of yourself. Can't wait to follow your journey to the Arctic.
Safe travels dude..... ATB Ian....
Thank you so much!
This is just a perfect video. No filler. Just the facts. And with the important details (including when you changed your mind!) Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!
you've clearly put an insane amount of money into this van and a lot more time and work than your van build series suggests in the videos
Yeah it’s so hard in a video to get across the effort it actually takes to build a van. Took a lot!
@@Adz you don't know til you try it lad - can't lie I'm envious 😂 of your success and hope it goes well for you
Good analysis detective
If money is no object you can have anything

Thanks mate! It took a lot of time because I was learning how to do each bit before I did it. But I’m definitely happy with the result!
Mate you have done a stonking job on the pigeon, looks absolutley amazing and very professional looking, maybe a career opportunity building vans!! The red duvet cover looks great against the black and grey, as does your matching hoodie!! Nice job mate I’d be very proud of myself if I had done a job like that.

The pidgeon looks epic and ready to soar across Europe to the Artic! Safe travels and looking forward to more videos!
Honestly one of the best looking vans I've seen and incredibly well thought out. Wish you safe travels and keep up the good work 😊
Thank you!
I must say your van is absolutely amazing, stunning build you should be proud of that. I hope the pigeon does you proud on your trip safe travels look forward to watching.

Dammm, I know I've seen bits already but you really went all out with this build mate 👍 looks amazing! Well done!
Yeah my ocd kind of took over 😂😂 thanks mate!
@@Adz well worth the effort and time mate, you now have a luxury hotel on wheels 🙂
Van looks amazing, just started to convert our Ducato you’ve given us so many ideas great build
Van looks amazing. You should be really proud of it and yourself. I'm not sure the Arctic circle is going to be kind in the water dump, and I'd personally want a lot more insulation in it to keep me toasty.
Some serious graft gone onto this, looks amazing congrats on a great build. Pack your thermals!
Thank you for taking us along on your build and look forward to your new adventures. I'm sure you and your pigeon will have memorable times to treasure 😀🙌
Very excited for your arctic travels! Good luck on your epic journey..

I would love to hear more about the electrical setup, for example how you monitor your batteries and top them up. It looked like the Jackery was the only source of AC power. Amazing van.
Yeah I do show all that in this video.. I didn’t show a jackery though? I only occasionally use a power station. Thank you!
I've got to say out all of the van build videos I've seen, which is a blooming lot of them , the pigeon 🐦 is my favourite one to date. Love the way it has turned out.
All the best with the trip dude and I'm already looking forward to the videos.
For a bloke you gave done an amazing job……. No seriously you have done a great job, yours is the first video I have watched from beginning to end. You are very talented.
Haha thank you! There was a lot of learning involved during the process!
There the vanz adventures lockers and kitchen ain't they? Mine are on order . Can't wait for mine
Yeah mate. I actually ordered one too many of the lockers (changed my layout) so I have a spare one! Might do a giveaway at some point
Lee was awesome . Spent 3 hours with me going through all the options and the layout. I need to occasionally sleep 3 and have a shower for my off grid plans so it was tricky. Good luck on the artic
Awesome van Adz, glad you got it wrapped up and left the barn behind. All the best for your artic adventures and we did spot campervibe on your telly!! You vloggers must stick together 😂😂 the pigeon looks like a proper adventure-wagon...nuff said👍
The pigeon looks absolutely incredible Adz! Wow. So much hard work. Enjoy your new adventure! 😁
Amazing build Adz, you should be very proud of your achievement. Hope the trip goes well!

Nice conversion, the wait was definitely worth it.
For your arctic circle trip, have you got yourself some snowchains for your wheels?
I’ve watched just about all of your build journey and the end result is just amazing …hats off to ya!
Absolutely brilliant Adz … massive congratulations on the most gorgeous and fully functional van. Good luck with your next adventure.
That is one of the best build videos I’ve ever seen! Absolutely flawless. You have come a long way with that build. Massive respect to you. Have a fabulous road trip. I’ll be watching 👍
Thank you so much mate!!
Been watching since the days of the jelly bean and absolutely love this van. It makes me want to go full time.
It’s great, have loved watching this build. Don’t stop the videos coming, great content. Enjoy your trip !

Probably the best build Iv seen on here . Absolutely first class mate 🫡
Wow, A+++ craftsmanship. Favorite part is a tie between the heater/hot water heater and the outlet to charge via electric car charge stations. Beautiful build Adam. Safe travels mate.
The van looks fantastic! I found your channel through Mels, I can't wait to see how you get on in the arctic!!! :) Best of luck with the journey
Nice one Ads, the hard work has paid off. Mobile shag waggon is looking great
That is an incredible build. Looks amazing and the tech is off the charts. One of the best ive ever seen. Well done 👌👌
This is a great video, Straight to the point of the build, definitely looks the part for all the effort gone into it and a nice round up video of it all. Safe travels 🥶
Adz top notch build mate you've come along way from the original caddy, keep it coming looking forward to more great content as always. One the best & funny without trying to be channels 👌😊❤
What a awesome end result. You went proper all out. No expense spared.
Nice work. Enjoy👌
OMG 😮This is the best self built van I have ever seen. Absolutely 100% amazing. Job well done sir👏👏👏. Now go have yourself an amazing adventure safe travels.🙏👍🏻
Thank you so much!

Wow What a talented smart guy.Good luck with the Artic adventure
Your van looks amazing! Good luck on the trip, it was great working with you on your electrics!
Professionally built that.. awesome job.. safe journey mate, look forward to the updates
Adz! The pigeon is looking awesome. You could put some manufacturers to shame with you build quality.
Well done.
Thank you! It’s appreciated!
Jelly bean would be so proud of this build mate! Its exactly how id want my camper van to a T.. if i had one that is 🫣 looking forward to the arctic vidz, stay safe 🤟🏻
Absolute top notch job Adam. I am really looking forwardto watching you on your epic trip. Drive safely and have the time of your life. All the best x
that is an amazing looking build well thought out. love the diesel heater/water heater
Crikey mate. This video just shows that you are a great filmmaker.
As you were building the pigeon, you had these great clips filmed that fit so well together.
Good luck on the trip and thanks for the Josie shower clip.
Bon voyage Le Pigeon.
Wow, Adz!! What a transformation! I remember you showing me back at Van Fest and look at it now! The Ritz on wheels. Congratulations dude 👏 🙌
Dam! This is the best van build I’ve ever seen. Attention to detail is ridiculous. Great video, can’t wait to check out your others!
Thank you so much!
One of the cleanest self builds I've seen
Thank you!
It looks amazing mate, I’m loving the wall covering.
Well done it looks like so much thought has gone into what you need and want
Looks stunning✨
Safe travels
Adz the vans looking an amazingly stupendous 9.854432! Looking forward to seeing the videos, I was in Lapland at the end of November and it was stunning!!!! Best of luck pal.
Wow cracking conversion, love the attention to detail and all the materials used, great power set up and that air fryer looks lush! Safe travels on your artic adventure. x
Most first builds look good but that looks completely professional. Amazing job.
I like this. Some sharp editing! I checked I didn't have you on 2x playback speed as you get through the build at a fair clip.
Not watched your videos since the little blue vw days....what an upgrade
The design pattern you used on the walls and ceiling is really cool. Much better than the wood or faux wood paneling look.
That's a premium pigeon if ever I saw one! What a beauty, well done Adz
Adz, the build has turned out superbly well, very impressive. Looking forward to seeing how it all goes on the Arctic trip 👍
thats a nice build mate... great to see someone whose taken their time over the electrics and used quality gear... bonus points for the spare 12 tails!
Love it, I have an L2 H2 Boxer and have struggled to find people using this size. Really interesting to see how you solved it, congratulations.
Mate!!! You must be well chuffed 😊
Fantastic build, I’ll definitely be using this as inspiration for my build
Thanks for sharing 👍
Yeah I’m loving it. Thanks mate!
This is AMAZING. There is nothing sexier than a handsome man who can build stuff, fix stuff, take care of stuff. Your van is amazing and so are you.
Looks great! I'm not finished with my built yet, thanks for inspiration!
Thank you!
The van is fantastic looks really nice you’ve done an amazing job
Been watching you since the Jellybean conversion..... You've come a long way my friend.....that is one hell of a build. Hats off to you 👏👊
Dude.. This is insane. Safe travels mate. The van is spectacular 👌
Absolutely fantastic L2 H2 build. It puts mine to shame. Not many L2 builds on TH-cam.
Thank you mate!
Being a massive fan of True Blue Travellers who are currently doing the arctic circle in a converted sainsburys delivery van, I think Adz is gonna be in for a bit of a shock of exactly how cold its gonna be , but look forward to seeing how he gets on ❄️👀Good luck mate for giving it a crack 👍🏻
I think they arrived amid a forecast storm. Good luck to adz tho
I absolutely love this build also great pacing for the video i enjoyed way more than other builds where they time lapse everything , i appreciate this walk through + explaining the process
Thanks mate! Yeah I never found Timelapse videos to be very helpful to be honest!
Fantastic, well done mate , have really enjoyed watching the build and it looks brilliant, enjoy your trip
Love the transformation of this Van Adz you’ve done a major job and so well finished!!! Love it and can’t wait to watch your adventures in the Arctic 🥶 stay safe ❤ Debs and Mark xxx
Amazing transformation, you've done a brilliant job with that 👍👍
The most beautiful van i ever saw on the net❤.Great job Adz
An amazing build Adz! I think everything about the van is just ace! Well done sir 🎩🎩
beautiful video i love how when the build gets more and more complete you can just hear the echo go away 💪🏾
Thank you! Yeah it definitely makes a huge difference!
Excellent work Adz, looking forward to the trip with you👍
Just me who's looking for the shower and josie? Lol seriously note though.....wow! Great job. Been watching the builds for ages. No offence to the likes of love sundays/brendanXplores who I also follow but this is in another league. ❤ love it. Again, welldone

Thank you!!
It looks so sleek welk done Adz! Could only dream if something like this myself.
a high tech beauty, dedication, knowledge, money and time . Time for you to hit the road and enjoy !
Thank you Steve! I was lacking in knowledge but I learnt a lot a long the way!
wow. a lot of work... with awesome results. congratulations.
Thank you!
This is really well done and thought out! I’m definitely doing this myself someday
What an amazing build so enjoyed seeing it in one video, looking forward to your trip don’t forget the electric blanket! 😂
Well done on your van build, looks great 👍 and all the best for your trip to the artic !
