  • After what I deemed to be a fair go at the rear window we have gone side now.
    It went ok, but needed another hand, although after a few comments on the rear I think I can do the side loading door solo. I THINK!
    Its quite daunting to me, but guess what's the worst that can happen?
    Hope your enjoying and if your new to my channel, Hello👋🏻, and hopefully you'll wanna stick around .
    Thanks again

Thank you for all the help you have given to people less fortunate in life.... I'm sure you're Dad is watching over you and is so proud of you... Keep you head high Liam

    My bro introduced me to your vids when we built his garden office and now I’m absolutely loving the camper content… smart move and I hope you hit 100k subs very quickly. I really appreciate how you don’t skip over the problem areas (like the window frame) and edit in a perfect job done on first attempt… showing you too experience all the same frustrations we all have with DIY. Keep going!

    It's nice to see you moving at a slow pace, not rushing things, learning as you are going shopping how to do things
    But what really bought a smile to my face was not when you said you had to just man up and pull those support panels a bit harder 🤣, was when you said to your daughter "I've put Windows in the back" because, like my kids and probably everyone else kids too, they don't realise how much work goes into making it look like you've done nothing at all 😁

  • @garyfarnell7176
    @garyfarnell7176 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Liam, just a bit more advice of how we overcome the large gap between the two panels, yes there is larger knock on trim available but it looks terrible, if you take a Stanley blade you can cut through the sealant between the two panels, pull this out and your two metal panels will come together easier and allow the trim to knock on much easier, again this is just our method. There is also an option when you come to trim around the windows, we use a 4 way stretch carpet which will fit into all the recesses, you can then pull the trim off completely and there will be enough of a gap to trim the carpet around the metal cut out and hide the edge behind the window.

    I've never done it before, I've watched before and I think a lot of people but the seal on the inside skin when you bond the window it pushes up against the seal so you can't see the outside skin cut area? Great video though mate look like your enjoying ot which is the main thing
