  • We had an idea of what this van would look when it was finished and what the space would be like, but so far, it has exceeded every expectation! In this weeks episode we have to go right back to an empty shell to do all the prep work for the final fix. It's definitely worth it though! We couldn't be happier with how it's coming together. However, Jon pushes his luck a little too far this week and isn't best impressed with how I exact my revenge! So join us as we share our tips and tricks along the way and as always, have a laugh.

    I have got to say I have had nothing but a smile on my face watching this this morning. Jon could do with giving Jess a hug now and again, but your joy for life and what your doing is infectious. Your both just enough daft, to be happy inducing and serious enough to make things understandable, and you have so much fun together achieving your goals. Really hope we get some more builds from you in the future. Your up there with Adam Savage, Dominic Chinea in your entertainment and education.

As bloody annoying and cringey as their "comedy" links can be, their workmanship is top drawer... and Jess's imput is up there too, not just a pretty face, although the phone time wasting is frustrating, I feel for John... 😂😂

    Wickes do a 12mm thick laminate worktop that is bonded under high pressure. Great to cut and glue and it’s fairly lightweight. Apparently it’s very hard wearing as well. Me and my son are just about to use it on both our new kitchens. It is available cheaper on other online sites.

Quick question for John, aka Guy :) will you be fitting an engine pre heater before you artic trip. Check out Alex at mispronounced adventures. He has done 2 winter trips to the artic in a 2 wheel drive transit with temperatures as low as - 30 and managed to freeze his coolant. Vans looking awsome. Ged x

    Great as usual.

Kia Ora from New Zealand. Take care & stay safe. 💜💜(EDIT: Oh and by the way, the chinese diesel heaters we get here have all the extra bits too and electronic panel for temp & time control - $265 NZD all incl.)

    Another excellent video. I'm doing an ambulance at the moment which already has a night heater in it but needs a new wiring loom and thermostat which is going to cost £250 so that's a good deal on the one you have

    I found your You Tube channel for the start of your Sainsburys van build. I am hooked both by your personalities and the way you are together but also by the quality of your ideas and work. I have been binge watching your Landrover Defender build and am amazed at just how much you have fitted into such a small space.
    I would quite happily watch an hour of your channel. And enjoy the feel good feeling I get.
    Thank you.

      Jon has a channel he set up a while back that he wants to do videos on tools and bikes and detailed installs on but we just haven’t had time yet. It’s definitely on the list to do 👍

Great explanation of tools and how to make and use fixings, it's given me some ideas too. The music you chose is cool and I love the banter between you guys.

    Obviously too late for this build, but when you do another, take a look at the iMass instant hot water heaters dude. I've got one in my camper and it's brilliant.
    No issues with freezing (in the UK at least) whatsoever, instant hot water on tap and not much more than a Truma 💪

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks very much, we will look at those for future UK builds but have heard of a few freezing and bursting further north which is why we decided on this one but they do look great

    • @shane555
      @shane555 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Your videos randomly popped up a couple of weeks ago when I was at home ill.....I'm hooked!! Love a bit of TTT (I'm locked into DeWalt...but Milwaukee are great tools! I would get some but too many chargers!). Thanks to to guys I'm now planning my own conversion 😬😬 . Would love some more in depth vids on the plumbing (inc gas). Also super appreciate all the little tips and tricks, much better than watching the usual boring time lapse videos that everyone else does.

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s brilliant we love hearing that people are getting into van builds and travel! It’s the best!! Stoked for you. Will do our best with the plumbing stuff. Jons planning to do a channel where he can do more in-depth videos on jobs and bits about tools but we just haven’t had the time to film anything for it yet, might have to be once we get back from Africa. Great to hear it’s helpful 😃

    I've been secretly badgering the Discovery Channel about you two, sending them links to your TH-cam channel, please don't hate me for it but you are television gold. If ever there was a Discovery Channel about self build vans then you are the obvious choice, the banter and humour is so natural and flowing but the gold is the pure skill that you have as a van building team. I don't want this Sainsbury's van build to end.
