Hi thank you, all the doors, windows and pass-through came from Outbound windows in the NL We had these in our last truck and can highly recommend them.

Thank you 😀

Hi Amanda, 😂😂😂 I love your last comment, I think I may have to deploy my Go Go Gadget arms 😂... horizon being the word, but thank you. All joking aside, it does feel great that we've got the bones of our rig sorted, cos we are sooo ready for new adventures. 🙏😘

Cheers Paul, very possibly maybe 😁, we gave ourselves a year but I'm hoping if we can continue at this pace to be done by early October... When I say done, these things are never done 😂🙏

Thanks Simon, appreciated 👍🏻

Thank you, we're most definitely getting there 🙏😀

Cheers Rob, I'm going to need a break by the time this is done, you know the score 😂👍🏻

hi thank you, it's 5.8m & 2.2m tall externally

@@TheGapDecaders Thanks!

Thanks ben, appreciated 👍🏻😀

😂😂😂 This won't mean a whole lot to people, but I'm sat here laughing, I reckon I could even get the net and poles on the cab roof 😉😁🙏

@@TheGapDecaders mate ... that would be an epic video .. watching you and Izzy putting the hessian and cam net up...lols😄😄

Not normally, but it has been the wettest winter on record & Spring hasn’t been much better. hopefully the summer is just around the corner👍🏻

Thank you, yeah there's a lot to think about, having done a Sprinter, you'll know the volume of work, headaches, head-scratching and small wins involved. Cheers 😂😂🙏

Pleasure, thank you 😊

cheers, appreciated 🙏

We averaged 13 - 14 mpg in our last truck keeping below 50mph, this one will probably be averaging 10 mpg

@@TheGapDecadersouch!

LOL, love this, at least you're honest. You could check out - Live and Give 4x4, The Outfit and Global Traces. See you later in the year I hope 🙏😀

@@TheGapDecaders thanks for the suggestions! ❤️

I bought them from a company called Vrakking in NL, they're heavy duty steel (not alu) and weigh 78kg each without the tyre.

Cheers Paul

Hi Stephanie thanks for your feedback :) There is lots of camping, free park-ups and designated motorhome places (aires) across Europe and many of the towns and cities have campsites close by. Some people use public transport and others carry e-bikes or a scooter to get around. Most supermarkets are happy for you to park in their car park overninght if you pop your head in and ask. I hope that helps :)

hi, for all your spring needs - check out Springmasters in Ridditch. They've got a good website, look for die springs and ask to speak with their technical director Carl Jackson. Carl is a font of knowledge when it comes to springs but he won't know you’re vehicle, dynamic loads or purpose so there's only so much he can advise.

@@TheGapDecaders Thank you, i will contact him 👍

Hi Tim, I do love a Vario 👌 We've already bought our Victron set up (back in March), we're happy with Victron as we've had various vans & properties using the blue stuff, and we haven’t ever had a problem, in fairness we got an exceptional deal from Energy Monkey. I'm not familiar with Clayton, so I'm going to head off now and do a little research 🙏😀 Good luck with the build 👍🏻

Hi Rob, you could probably get away without one however, I'm assuming you're putting traps in and therefore technically it's sealed. I've fitted a 21.5mm overflow which you definitely need, and this will double up as my breather.

Cheers Gordon 👍🏻

Wow, I didn't know that, we loved Ohrid and will definitely return 🙏

LOL, this is funny. Thank you for your thoughts, never say never 😀... you may decide that building an overland rig's for you. If so, I'm here for you 😂😂👍🏻🙏

Hi Rob, yes good observation - there's a 5mm upstand from the plastic nut (remainder of thread trimmed off), this does create effectively a sump where sediment can settle, that's why I installed a second access panel cos periodically I jet wash it out. You can also use the silicone tank cleaning balls to help keep the scum off the sides. We had the same set-up previously and didn’t have an issue, other than having to clean it 2-3 times annually (full-timing)

Cheers Richard, appreciated 🙏

Hi, we like property and have done well from it, having always developed property we were keen to have a rest, explore for a few years (invest our funds), then return & buy another doer upper, that obviously didn’t happen. If we had of known we were going to travel for the foreseeable future, then we would have bought a rental property with a keen yield. lot's to think about, goog luck and enjoy your travels 👍🏻😀

Thank you, it's a converted outbuilding and an old barn 😀

😀😀 Just catch up on here, but thank you. Appreciate your thoughts 👍🏻☺

😀 Thanks Peter, yeah it's been a busy few weeks but it's all going in the right direction. I'm playing catch up here (again) , I think there may have been a missed opportunity with the topping out 🙈👍🏻😀

Cheers Matt, catching up on here - it's a lot of work but obviously doable 👍🏻😀

thank you 👍🏻☺

Hi thank you, this is for our grey waste only. We'll fit a Separett Tiny compost toilet (exactly the same as in our last truck) We even made a video about it and both agree, that it was our best upgrade to date 👍🏻😀

@@TheGapDecaders Thanks for taking the time out to respond. I know you are very busy. Much appreciated. 😀
