Reminds me of grand designs. Budget woefully inadequate, work beyond normal ability, time scales ridiculously short and stress all round. On the bright side, they normally end up being successful, so keep it going!! Looking forward to the adventures next year.
Hi Izzy and Phil, we're so glad you're back, we've missed your videos but totally under you just wanting to get on and not have to stop all the time and film. We converted our van over 2 years ago and spent every spare minute we had on the conversion, it's hard going although my husband said he'd do it again in a heartbeat...I'm not so sure😂 We're in the middle of selling our house to take a grey grown up gap year ....or two which is a scary but exciting prospect. Your videos helped cement that we can do this even in our 50s. Anyway, great to have you back, can't wait to see it finished x
I’ve been waiting in anticipation of your latest video and my word what you have produced is awe inspiring. I’ve been following your story for three years and I greatly admire you both for your energy, creativity and zest for life and adventure. I hope that 2025 provides a new impetus to your nomadic lifestyle and that you enjoy your endeavours of the past year building your incredible home on wheels.
This will be a fantastic Truck!!! Just a small remark: there are fans available which are closing if the ventilation is switched off (either manual or based on a temperature controller). This is useful in dusty environment like gravel roads, desert or simply dirty roads. The open blinds also might allow insects to enter the cabin.
Great to have a new video - Thank You. You are really demonstrating just how much hard work goes into a quality build. Hope you have a great Christmas and exciting New Year
Hi ya. before you said you need a Holiday, i said to my wife, hes looking weary, more Grey hair and poorer - They need a break from it all - and then you fly to Croatia. you just need some time to clear your head of what you have to do, mesurements and so on- come back with a clear head. Great
Such patience to go that extra mile to make it such a special build. Be proud you two many would have crumbled. 😘

One of the best builds on utube good detail to explain how things work. Best of luck with the rest of the build merry xmas. Happy new year.
Strong work as always!
Merry Christmas and I travelling New Year's 🎉
Had a giggle at the fridge vs door scenario. I had to take the door seal off to gain a couple of mm to get my fridge through!
Coming on, getting exciting now. Which country to visit first ? Oh and Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025.

Well done Phil. Top post m8.
Sorry Izzy, had to laugh at the “I’m on camera, grit your teeth, smile, save it for later” face! 😂
Haha that is so true! Some days it’s just too much….
but will make the end result so much more special. All the best for this coming year of adventures!
I forgot how far behind the build videos were.
