    I like this guy, his work is top class, the van is finished beautifully, I could watch this over again for the tips, I hope he’s done a full build step by step tutorial for this van, I need the guidance for when I do mine and his layout is pretty much how I’d want mine. Going to search the other vids now,👍

    You really need to have a youtube channel ( i know i know this is one - but a dedicated 1 ..know what i mean ) .
    There is something enticing n lovely about your ability to talk to an invisible audience yet be very genuine about it , with cheekiness thrown in.
    Loved the van and your colour palette . If i needed to build one , reckon everything you chose would do it perfectly for me .
    Kudos to the wrap lady. She did a brilliant job . Sophisticated n funky ..just my style too.

    Agree that this is a really great layout for the important things. Normal kitchen, normal bed, normal bathroom. And from the outside it's not that obvious what's on the inside. I would perhaps shift the sink around a little bit (and perhaps the popup table in the kitchen area could fall flat into the side of the cupboard).

    • @wright-adventure
      @wright-adventure  Рік тому +2

    Full bed lift at the front, replace the rear with a lounge? It would take some figuring out but could be stunning. This as it is though is great. The only thing I can fault these layouts on it if you have 3-4 people sat around the table at the front, you all will be playing footsy under the table. Too close quarters for me! Superb work, best I've seen so far.

    Stunning van. Your ideas for future build are spot on. Didn't know about the Ducato being a nicer van than Boxer etc. Three front seats would be better for family then you could move sink, cooker and fridge to behind front seats and get more room next to shower ? Or sliding unit that slides out under another to go in front of side door ?

      -Do one small bit at a time
