Shaun's concern over splinters and frames crashing into faces is priceless! I Always get told I don't show enough concern from my other half...must be a man thing!
Hey guys just wanted to say that me and my wife are looking into getting a nice VW Camper in the near future or something similar! I love watching your videos! make me want to get a camper even more lol! Your a lovely couple and your van tours and reviews are extremely informative! I can’t wait to see more of your camper van tours around the world seeing how you really put your camper into its place and use it to its full potential! Keep the good content coming! Thank you 🙏
funny watching Shaun be so worried, precise and careful, other vanlifers 'anyone got a saw' and have at it and Shaun really needs the Dewalt powered mastic gun.
Yes, it is always better to do the complete installation of an item then you can visualize if everything fits well, pre-drill screw holes so wood dust won't mix with the sealant, THEN you reinstall the item with proper sealant.
OMG had me on the edge of my settee That was awesome well done looks fantastic Having a T6.1 converted now makes me cringe to think they cutting holes in it
Just a thought if your afraid of a cock-up on cutting, buy the smaller hatch then if all goes wrong fit the bigger brother Lol ! Very brave man cutting that hole not everybody would want to do exstream D I Y .
It’s become the bane of our lives that garage. But it’s very slowly getting there (along with the 4 million other things we have to do as well as keeping a tiny human alive!)
Im planning on a vent in my van, but Im not as brave as you to do it myself. What are the costs of the vent or sky light and the professional installment?
Hello! Im building in a L4 and just realized that the structure column makes my sections very small, I wanted to put the skylight in the back but the only space that fits my dimensions is the front... Any advice on this? Do I have to do it in the front? Thank you
They are so expensive to buy afterwards unfortunately. Much cheaper when specced brand new with the van. I think there are cheaper aftermarket ones. Have a look at the Crafter group on Facebook.
Ah now folks, needing slightly longer screws is hardly a mistake. You should be dead chuffed, an excellent job. Really scary putting holes in any vehicle but a brand new one definitely has pride of place in the squeaky bum zone 😂🤣
Classic clickbait, really not an error / mistake, just didn’t plan in advance well. All of the skylights have instructions and explain about frames and how thick to make them etc

Excellent job. One I wouldn't be prepared to do myself but i'm glad everything turned out OK.
Phew! Well done. I cant begin to think of drilling holes in my van. Looking forward to see it all come together.
Thank you!
Gosh you guys brave 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 loving following along the conversion 🙂

funny watching Shaun be so worried, precise and careful, other vanlifers 'anyone got a saw' and have at it and Shaun really needs the Dewalt powered mastic gun.

Well done fab job. Loved the concern in Shaun’s voice when u said it hit your face 😆 😂 😆 u got balls!!! I would off chickened out.
I know right!!? We’ve clearly got comfortable in our marriage 😂
All credit to you guys, I was almost hiding behind the sofa when that first drill went it. Very inspirational .
Thank you very much. I wanted to be behind the sofa too when the cutting began 😂

Top job guys! I’m at the exact same stage on my van! Nervous times ahead 😅
Very! Best of luck with your build!!
Top Sikaflex skills - much respect.
Comes from a lifetime of icing cakes 😂
Thank you!
Very brave, well done.
Well done both! A lot braver than I’d be 😂😂😬😬
nice job well done

Another tip purchase 2mm spacers so all the addesive don't squish out and give u a proper seal same as the top seal .
Great job guys.
Thanks so much!

Hello!
Im building in a L4 and just realized that the structure column makes my sections very small, I wanted to put the skylight in the back but the only space that fits my dimensions is the front... Any advice on this? Do I have to do it in the front?
Thank you
cool , but main question .. do you have a link to Bentley's website ??
Are you getting stuff sent to you for free from suppliers like the insulation and these roof vents / skylights??
Great work. Would check the roof is 100% clean of metal bits as will rush out very quickly.. ask me how i know 🤦🏻
Thanks! Will do!
awesome guys following your adventures wile building my own mwb 2020 crafter can i ask where you got the roof rails from keep up the good work
Thanks Jason. We specified the roof rails from the factory. Sorry we can’t be more help
@@ABusAndBeyond awsome i dident think they did them ill inquire ty gl x
£700 for a rail wow think i will get some made :)
They are so expensive to buy afterwards unfortunately. Much cheaper when specced brand new with the van. I think there are cheaper aftermarket ones. Have a look at the Crafter group on Facebook.
Where did you get the roof rails from? We are currently doing up a crafter and don't want a massive roof rack.
I ordered the van with them from the factory
Make a wooden frame to go in the middle on inside

Haha agreed! Thanks so much!

Bob’s your Auntie? 😳
New tattoo Shaun?
Yeah! I’ll have to post a photo up of it sometime.
Pissing around with commercial vehicles like this makes them dearer for trades that use them for there intended purposes.
No it doesn’t
What an incredibly stupid comment
🫣 Rather you than me….. All good in the end, excellent job 👍
