About this van:
Cazzy & Bradley used my ebook to convert this van themselves during lockdown round one this year. A great use of restrictive covid times! They had no prior building experience and have done and incredible job with the conversion. It has a really cool and unique layout, managing to fit a shower, toilet, fixed bed, separate seating & table AND a guest double bed!

Van couples are always the cutest couples.
You need hinges on those cupboards so that they stay open on there own without you having to hold them up, itll keep your hands free....just a suggestion I've seen alot!Cute home!!!!Great Job!!!!!
You are 100% right we do! It's on our to-do list ;)
LPG is the way to go! One piece of advise, though, would be to spray the tank with underseal - our tank is 5 years old and quite badly corroded where stone chips have damaged the coating on the tank. I'm sure Autogas 2000 will do it, but if not, Gas It do.
Oh yes! We actually got some spray and did that afterwards but forgot to mention it on camera! :) Hopefully that keeps it protected longer :)
Nice build, in the cupboards use rubber mats will stop things falling out and allow more space
Thank you and thanks for the tip! :)
Also have seen jars with magnets struck to them and metal in cabinets to stop movement.
Adorable couple! So compatible! Great van! Enjoy your travels and be blessed!
Thanks so much! :)
A very nice van and these two spoke the problem everybody seems to forget: when you're in the sunny South Cali summes you can indeed shower outside but when in winter or in some colder environment?
This is a great build ,.....stay safe on your journeys around the world,,,,and its great to see Ireland and Britain cooperating on this project 😜......🇮🇪x🇬🇧....
Our aim is to bring these great countries together ;D
Cazzy has got the accent people try to imitate but try to hard 😅. The way she says "care" and "later" :D
Also, great conversion, very sympathetic couple!! 🤗
Hahah! Thank you 😊😋
Really well done you two. It’s inspirational (in the true sense being inspired) to see what you’ve achieved from your starting point. You make it seem achievable, which is perfect! Thank you.
Awh thanks so much! We really appreciate that :)
I used Autogas 2000 at Thirsk to fit my LPG Tank. They were excellent! Highly recommended!
Great team there!
That second bed is great ! It's also nice to see how good your van is when you where only new to this (gives Hope haha
Thanks so much! :) haha yeah, seriously, if we could do this, anyone can! Not an exaggeration! :P
I can’t believe you managed to fit a shower and double bed. Bravo!! Happy travels 😘
Thank you! It was a challenge, but totally worth it! :P
you are such a fun loving couple
hehe Thanks!
She look elder
Awesome van! I live live love the skylight window. As you kept on showing your van, I couldn't believe you also have a dull full size bed too! I was definitely surprised!
Thank you so much! :)
Looks very cosy! Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas!
Being also a coffee addict, I got a v60, moka pot, French press, hario kettle and for espresso I use the Flair espresso. It's a bit of a challenge to make a coffee and needs some more time than just a regular espresso machine, but it's 100% manual and it stores itself in a little drawer :)
Oh wow you ave even more than we do! I can also recommend the Handpresso. It's portable and great for use on the go :) Also doesn't require any electric hookup
@@CazzyandBradley hahaha yes my truck becomes HQ at break time haha
I also have a Hario syphon, the one that looks like chemistry equipment, but it stays at my parents house cause it's too fragile..
I'll gladly try the handpresso out ;)
@@vlravn2358 Oh wow that is complex! Does it honestly make a difference to the taste of the coffee???? But you're right, it looks like its out of a lab haha. i think I saw something like that on an episode of Breaking Bad ...
@@CazzyandBradley it makes good coffee, kinda in-between a French press and v60, I rarely use it anymore but I always felt like it made the fruity taste come out a bit mor than other methods, but my brewing skills are not those of a professional barista haha
I would say if you have a good v60 brewing method you don't need the syphon
It's really more for the Sunday coffee to entertain guests haha
@@vlravn2358 It definitely sounds interesting! But yeah maybe I will wait until I get an actual home some day haha :D
My tiny home has been an Mercedes actros for three years so I’m Uber looking forward to all the extra space #lovescotland
Well thought out and a fantastic build!!! Merry Christmas y'all 🎅🎄✌
Thanks so much! :) Have a great Christmas!
Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🌟Lovely to see your van ... happy travelling! Xx
Merry Christmas! :D
Lovely artistry, all through, including your sweater! :)
Thanks so much!
@@CazzyandBradley Thank YOU!
All vans should be required to have a toilet (tick). Well done for fitting a shower. How did you ensure the added passenger seats are crash worthy?
Thanks! :) We have cross body seat belts on and they're bolted through the chassis, not through the wooden floor like many do, and they were fitted through an mot centre :)
Love the video and this couple!! Just a thought on maximize the space in your kitchen cabinets. How about a shelf that acts as a floating shelf above the content you have in place. No a floating but could have brackets the come from the top of the cabinet and are U shaped to hold the shelf. Yikes, does that make sense? Lol, I see it in my mind.
Yess Tracey! This is exactly what I was thinking myself- I think that's what we will try, would definitely be useful to have the extra space! Thanks for the suggestion :)
I like the electrical, I want lots of Amp hours too
Amazing job! Wishing you safe travels and adventures galore! Nate, thanks for sharing their rolling tiny home.
Merry Christmas 🎉🎄🎁
Very nice home! I love the bath, and the extra seating, good job
thank you! :D
That’s froogin’ nuts!
You two are Cute and Funny. Happy Holidays. 🌲🎁💞🦋🤗👍🏾🎉🎊🫂
thank you! :D Merry Christmas!
I really appreciated the more thorough, but simple walkthrough of the garage and other utilities--happy travels!!
Glad to be of help! :D
Nice van build, but Cathy’s man 👨 is Sooo Fine! Really handsom!
hehe Thank you! And he is indeed! ;)
You guys look like so much fun. The built is wonderful. Merry Christmas!🌲☃️
Awh thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too!
The second bed is kinda genius :D
Great build guys ... I'll have a guess and say all them cupboards are full of vodka 🤣
hahaha! I wish ;) -- and thank you! :)
Good job, guys! 🌲🎄
Thanks so much!
My dad is getting a camper van in 2021 on march!
Wonderful couple!
Thanks! :)
Great build!
Awesome as always...
Very impressive👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!!
Impressive build particularly without experience. Not sure about the electrical sockets above the cooker though, or the wooden spice rack almost touching the hob 😬
Thanks! Nothing has been an issue so far with the cooker, the cooker was meant to be in a different place but things changed and that was the only position left lol! But it's not caused any issues, and the rack isn't permanent:)
@@CazzyandBradley just something I noticed. I know in a house current regulations say something about sockets shouldn't be above a cooker due to steam and heat.
Just so you know I too have a socket above my cooker, again in a house though. I've never had an issue but I'm not a big cooking type person.
I'll be converting a van next year sometime so I'm trawling TH-cam for tips.
Enjoy your travels 👍
@@moody9931 yeah defiently! We did ask our gas engineer if he thought it would be okay, and he said it'll be okay, the real issue being when it's all steamy it makes the temperature setting for the heating think its super warm when it's not! Lol but hopefully it works out okay :) thats awesome! Best of luck with your build!
@@CazzyandBradley 🤣🤣 I never thought of that, false temperature readings.
Ah well if that's your only problem in life then life ain't bad. 👍
@@moody9931 Cant have it all I suppose haha!
Love it!! What a beautiful build
Thank you so much! :)
I’m going to buy and convert a van shock horror but thinking of fridge freezer eye level oven , my biggest concern are off grid batteries how have you got on with power ?
Great job guys.
Love this !
I Love your Van its so Beautiful
Thanks so much!
I am the same way with coffee 😁 you go girl!
hehe! :P
Nice investment
great build layout but i'm not sure about the LPG tank valve cover (@ 20:25) looks a bit vunerable to speed bumps and those roads with grass/raised in the middle ?
i would rotate it up a bit more ?
Yeah this crossed my mind too; however this is the exact position it has to be in. If you rotate the tank round then it doesn't work correctly, as it cant judge the correct fill level. In reality it doesn't sit any lower than the exhaust behind so should be okay, plus it is purpose designed for this chassis :) But yes you are right! I will definitely take it careful when driving over large humps!
That coffee cupboard 😂😂
I can't survive without it! :P haha
Well done with your van build! What IS your set-up for internet on the road?
Thanks so much!:) currently we just have unlimited 4g that works throughout europe, and use that as a hotspot for our laptops to work off! Once we go further afield we will switch sim cards and do somehting similar :) it's worked well so far!
@@CazzyandBradley Great, thanks! I hadn't expected that it would be that simple! ;) Happy New Year! Open borders, open roads!
Hi! How are you?
~ The year 2020 is coming to an end when everyone had a hard time. Good job.
I hope the infectious disease will be resolved in the new year and everyone will be healthy and happy.
Thank you.
Happy New Year. ^O^
Does the new strain and restrictions have you stranded in Scotland now?
Thankfully we made it back before any restrictions were put in place!:)
@@CazzyandBradley that is awesome glad you are safe
I would love to be your friend! Lol what great concepts for travel❤️

What espresso machine do you use and which coffee grinder would you use with it?
I have a Delonghi coffee machine, it's this one (amzn.to/38B0mqe) , small enough to fit in a van but I use E.S.E pods and already ground coffee so I can't recommend a coffee grinder sorry :)
These two are so cute 🥰
haha thanks! :D
Would love to know what type of skylight this is 😊 great build!!
Thanks so much! It's a midi heki :)
@@CazzyandBradley thank you :) i appreciate it!
Love your videos ^^
@@saraha9901 you're welcome! Thank you, we really appreciate that ❤
I've just ordered the bathroom panels but notice they only come in 250mm width. Yours don't look as if they have a join. Did you get larger panels?
sorry for the slow reply! yeah i think ours are the same, but yeah they have joins, just a lot of careful placement when fitting :) Though Im guesing you already know and have done all this haha
Love James Veach!
put that espresso maker on its side and get another shelf?
Blessings 🙏🏽
Is size an issue, meaning can you drive down almost any road or are some too small?
We haven't experienced any difficulties yet, we did drive it on lots of Single track roads in Scotland, and it never proved an issue, but it could be an issue in some European cities and towns, but we will try our best to avoid that! :)
Amazing 👍💚👌
thank you! :)
Where did you find your shower curtain ?
We got it on Amazon (its a full-width one but we just cut it to the size we needed!)
Did you have the Amazon Link. ?
@@kilauea-volcan it's this one amzn.to/3rAuieQ :)
Thanks a lot
Nate - I ordered your van conversion guide, received the confirmation, tried to download and the file will not open, order no. 1631, your web site is down. What are you going to do to correct the situation? you have my information on the order. J
I'll check the number. Website should be working fine.
What's the dimension of your bed?
roughly 182cm x 115cm I think
Down loaded it on 2 different computers and neither one will open the file. You may have to put it in a zip file and e-mail it to me.
Unable to message you on your web site.
Thanks
John
How you get internet and TV on this van?
Our internet is via our phones (we have unlimited data), and we use our laptop as a TV, but we are also installing a projector screen so can use that too :)
Hi, please put your carbon monoxide detector low down!
Why would you want to put it low down. Co is lighter than air. And should be placed at head height. But not a ceiling 😊
@@gordsjackson8109 I’m afraid you are wrong it’s heavier than air fire alarm should be heigher beacause smoke rises ask any fire fighter
@@elsestelema6273 perhaps we won’t agree but I can assure you that air is heavier and if using a detector it’s because you have heat. Heat will push the carbon moxide gasses upwards. The heat will form a layer of at the ceiling height preventing the detector from reading. Having it midway around the height you sleep will alert you much quicker to a possible problem ...specific gravity of carbon monoxide is .09657 air has a specific gravity of 1.000... I won’t get in to it in too much detail ... feel free to check some regulations sites. Happy New year !!
@@gordsjackson8109 thanks for that you are right must have been wrong advice I was given some time ago. And happy 2021 let’s hope it will be better than this one
Northern Ireland accent
Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
2:32 I like that😍💋 💝💖❤️
You watch one van conversion and suddenly everyone in the world seems to be converting a van.... (and they all seem to be, self confessed, amateurs) - no offence to this video, I've just had enough of these TH-cam.....
There's definitely a lot of people doing it! But we were definitely amateurs, or at least we were! :P
Oh yeah. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
