He was just a kind chap that waited for us ☺️

Thank you Andy, we’re glad you enjoyed it. Who knows where our next adventure will take us.

Thank you for your kind comment Jeff. We paid £12 per adult per night. Not too bad for such a great location 👍

It’s a great site, the scenery is beautiful, and the sand on the dunes is amazing!

Thanks Lee. Have a great time, it’s a beautiful location!

Hahaha…you’re not wrong! Who’s got the power? Allpowers S2000 has got the power! It could even power your DJ gear 👍

It’s great and has got loads of power👍

Apple Music played it as one of my suggested tracks, and we loved it straight away 👍👍 haha

Yes I did, they weren’t the easiest to try and fit. But with some heat from a hot air gun they softened up and fit like a glove.

🤣🤣 We’re loving doing lots of stealth mode stuff now. 👍

Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for the kind comment Chris, we’ll definitely be back there again!

Awesome 👍 have you converted yours into a micro camper as well?

Thank you Andy ☺️ Will do!

And it was a really beautiful weekend to enjoy it.

Thank you so much for the kind comment Rachel!!

Hi, I got it from eBay. This was the description: Silent RV Roof Air Vent Fan for Travel Trailer Van Outlet Ventilation System I fitted a resistor to the 2 position switch so it gave me a slow and fast speed. it’s fairly quiet and pulls plenty of air.

@@awaywiththehills Cool, thanks for letting me know. It looks really low profile, which is great for such a small vehicle.

It’s spot on 🚐 👍

i love the greys , my fav colour , im a metal cladder so appreciate those colours

im not hating , but i would need a way to go from the back to the cab qwithout going out side , just for safety , but excellent job , proper impressed

Thank you for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. I was trying to keep a modern minimalist look to it. I saw the Recarco fabric and loved it, I knew it would tie it all together nicely with the greys 👍 It would have given us more room as well if I removed the bulkhead, but I decided to keep it in the end for a couple of reasons. Insulation. And stealth 👍 I insulated the whole inside of it and it’s so warm inside, if I’d have removed the bulkhead a lot of heat would go straight out of the glass and the windows would steam up. And I can have the lights on really bright and not be seen at all…perfect for stealthing 👍

Thank you for the lovely comment Heather ☺️ We love the colours and thought it ties the whole van together, I don’t know if you have anything similar? But I’m sure you would make it lovely and with some nice fabrics that suit you 🫶🏼

It folds away to under the seats and 2 of the boards go behind the passenger seat. I’m going to do a walk around video soon explaining everything in detail, so keep a look out for that 👍

Thank you. During that video they were 235/40 R18 as that's what was on the wheels when I bought them. I've since needed replacement tyres, and I went with the size that originally came on the Focus ST's. These are 225/40 R18 and they were about £15 cheaper each tyre on the Bridgestone one's that I put on.

Hi Kirsty, thank you for taking the time to comment. No, they were just some lighting wires before I finished them off, and also a hair dryer and straighteners that I store in there. I have the battery and electrics next to the fridge in the rear. I'm going to do a walk around video soon , so I'll try to remember to cover it in that.

Hi, these were only rust stains as the previous owner hadn't put any bolts into the roof mounting points after they had a roof rack on it. So there was no need to treat once I put bolts back into the holes to seal from the rain.

Thank you for you kind positive comment. What would you like to know?

Thank you for the positive comment, it's great to hear. I hadn't done anything like this before, hence why I chose a cheaper van to base the conversion on. But I'm so happy with how it turned out, and I'm definitely going to do another one in the future. I have an engineering background, so I enjoy projects like this and enjoy the challenges. The main research I had to was on the insulation. I watch a lot of UA-cam videos to learn what to use (and what not to use) as there is a lot of videos of people using the wrong type of insulation on camper conversions.

Sorry forgot to ask. What shade of carpet was did you use?

@@Jonathan-gh7ss I went with anthracite, and I’m really happy with the colour.

Thank you Pete. Will do! We had planned to go away last weekend filming, but the clutch on Mini-Hillton had other plans!

The campsite in Glencoe?

I've not added it all up yet. I planned to do it more on a budget, but when I started, I changed my mind and made it to the standard I would be happy with.

Thanks Gus! Thank you for taking the time to comment, it means a lot.

Thank you ☺️ it’s great to know that the videos get watched in 4K, that’s why I don’t normally include any footage from my drone, as that’s only 1080p…but when funds allow I will upgrade 👍🏻 Wow, I can’t believe we were that close to where you live, that’s crazy! Thank you for the tips. We will be back one day as it’s so beautiful up there, so we’ll check out the places that you mentioned and hopefully spend a bit more time exploring next time.

Hi Barry, they are closed cell foam tiles that I bought from my local Halfords, I mainly used them to insulate the floor as they’re nice and thick and don’t absorb water. As far as I can tell, they do a great job as the van holds the heat in really well with these and all the other insulation that I used throughout the van. I didn’t use them on the sides, what you can see on the video is a 10M roll of 10mm foam insulation, where one side is sticky backed and the other side is foil, it was designed to be used for this exact purpose and is great 👍 I got this from eBay.

@@awaywiththehills Hi thanks have you a eBay link. I see you used it on the roof?

@@BarryCorbett-bs5ru Search for 10mm camper van insulation foam self adhesive, I used the one from an eBay store called THEFOAMSTOREUK

That sounds a really exciting project Graham! You definitely need to document that from start to finish 👍 Let us know what your UA-cam channel is called and we’ll subscribe, we’ll be interested to watch the transformation.

Awesome! Thank you for your kind words, and for taking the time to comment 👍

Thank you ☺️👍🏻 It was the Skye camping and caravanning club site near Edinbane.

Thank you Andy 👍 Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for taking the time to comment.

Thank you Neil. I’m glad you enjoyed the cinematography, yes Becky did some of the camera work as well 👍🏻

Thanks for watching!

We were very lucky! It was over Easter and it was only the first day (the Thursday) that was the worse rain. But that just made the videos and photos that I took look more dramatic 👍🏻

Many thanks Darren. Thank you for taking the time to comment, it means a lot.

Thank you Paul, it was amazing driving through such amazing scenery.

Thank you for your kind words 😊 I’ll do a little walk through of the awing in a future video as you’re interested. It was something that I made myself to keep the cost down.

@awaywiththehills Yes I noticed it was a homemade one , nothing wrong with that at all. That's why I was interested to see it and a video would be great to see. All the best.

Hi Paul, they are Focus ST seats that I put in…they are so much more comfortable. They aren’t a straight fit, you have to swap a couple of the legs over from one seat to the other. But not too hard.

Thanks for the very kind positive comment. It turns out that I insulated so much that I need to have the roof fan on even when it’s zero degrees outside!🤣

@awaywiththehills sweet, good insulation AND ventilation, IME ventilation is the only way to control condensation but it's hampered by poor insulation, you now have the perfect combination 👌

Thank you very much for the kind comment. I’m glad you enjoyed watching it. It’s good to know that the effort that I went to can be seen on the video.

Thank you! 😊

@@awaywiththehills you did a great job one of the best I've best seen tbh. Would you consider doing one for me? I'm thinking of buying a connect for a conversion actually been wanting to do one since the lockdowns.
