Thumbs up if you want to see another van build project 👍🏼, only this time on a beaten down vehicle that needs some love and attention 🛠️. Doug’s an inspiration 😂
Yes, more of these please! You would not think the inside was so nice from the outside. Great way to deter people from contemplating breaking in. Thanks a million!!
you do know you dont counts the yellow number as that counts from 0-9 and when it gets back to 0 then that's 1 mile so it actually read 260106 which is 26,010.6 miles . once the .6 gets to 0 it will then have done 26,011 miles @@stellaswancounselling
@@WillsWhereabouts Deffo will, you need to rescue an old transit mk 4/5 they're such great vans.. I had a mk 5 transit for three an a half yrs, they're so reliable.. service them pretty regularly and you're good to go! 😊
brilliant!!!!!!! The Dougster gets the Wills Whereabouts treatment. He's deffo looking better now since they started to refurb him and Neil and Em have done an amazing job in bringing Doug back to life. Way to go Urban vanlife!!! As for seeing another build, HELL YEAH! about you doing an Urban vanlife inspired old motorhome renovation. It would make a wicked youtube series. I'm sure Neil and Emma would be cheering you on. BTW.... nipping to subscribe to your newsletter. It will be good to keep up with what you are up too. Much respect 🙏- Kenny
I loved watching Endless Adventures renovating their RV. She has given them tons of problems but really is lovely. I would love to watch another RV conversion
I reckon Neil will get this old camper back to a decent standard on the outside. The interior is fantastic. About 10 years ago I bought a Ford Escort van for £300, I never serviced it apart from the odd tyre and window wiper. That van got me all over the country and by the time I had to scrap it, it had over 600,000 miles on it.
Im 78 this year and would love to find a project like that. Its a dream of mine to travel in comfort. Thanks for letting me tag along.. God Bless and stay safe
1st time watching your channel mate. Absolutely brilliant what your friends have done with that old wrecker😊 Looking forward to the next one. Cheers buddy 😊 Nick
I have become a big fan of your content and you have inspired me to buy a Caddy Maxi which i bought about a month ago and will be converting to a mini camper, this summer😁 Keep it up, Will👍🏻👍🏻
Yes Please, more of this kind of thing, Old Van to New Van type of video. I loved Doug, the layout was brilliant, great for a family with small children, can imagine the kids would love being in that space up the ladder and a decent size lounge to sit around the table to eat and play games. Well Done Neil and Emma.
Since May 2023 I have been converting a 2005 LDV Convoy minibus into a camper van. It had been converted previously, but not up to a decent standard, so I took everything out and started from scratch. Working weekends I now have a pull out bed, sink/gas hob unit, fridge cabinet, toilet, storage boxes under the bed, table, a 12v power system and 230v power bank. In have installed a butane gas bottle and pipe work to the gas hob. The furniture is made out of reclaimed wood (some reused from previous build). I have thoroughly enjoyed the project.
In today's world recycling and reusing is always good 👍🏻 For your followers who haven't purchased any of Will's merchandise, I've just purchased and received the hoodie and t shirt, can say that the quality is spot on, and post quite quick in ref to UK 😊
Mate love your videos but this one in particular I really enjoyed. It was a really good idea and I loved how rustic the van was. So much character which added to the coziness. Doing a similar van build for something affordable would be even more popular than your old series in my opinion. Very excited! One of my favourite videos in more recent times, took me back to the sheer rawness of the Ford Galaxy days
Inspiring stuff. The transformation inside is astonishing and the affection for the van really comes through. Doug has seen some stuff but still knows how to look after his guests. Great film. Really enjoyed this one. 👍
I like Doug,with the reliable old transit engine that'll get you anywhere,you might be deaf when you arrive but you'll get there. He's also like the opposite of a hotel,as most of them look lovely on the outside and then you get a key to the cleaners broom cupboard,whereas Doug's interior is 👌.
Hey Will, great video. Just a quick suggestion for a meal, since you like the fajitas so much lol. Make a chilli at home, freeze a portion, on day of departure, take Chilli with you and throughout day it will defrost. If you have a 2 hob burner, cook your rice in 1 saucepan, in another pan, pour in chilli and reheat on a low heat. One rice cooked, serve up, a few tortilla chips and some grated cheese, Bobs your uncle! Actually I have 6 uncles not 1 of them is called Bob 🤷🏽♂️? 😂. Enjoying your video’s 👍🏼
Yes affordable way to go ! Less u spent on van more money for travel. That's why I'm doing a cheap van . And it's great fun to do over winter . More please
omg will I remember when Neil and Emma first bought this, as I've follow them as well as you, what they have done is amazing... and yes I would to see you go buy an old van and do it up would be amazing, and their travel to Scotland, just goes to show that these old van and stuff and strong not like the ones we get these days....... not mentioning where they are made.... Good old Ford campervans..... love them...thanks for showing us this Will
Hi I have watched pretty much all your videos and I think this one is probably the best I think you should re-purpose a old van and give it a great new life
Hello Will from St Thomas, Ontario, Canada. Sure a similar van build would be great. Your friend put a lot of work fixing this motor home comfortable for you. Keep sade!
We did a 2grand Citroen - epic fun doing the build and the result we really love - do a cheap one so folk can see how they too can get van life on a tiny budget
That old Transit firing up brings back so many memories Will it go, will it go and then when it does, sounds like a 1950's tractor but will run forever Great to see an old girl given a new lease of life Many thanks to the owners for letting you loose with it, and many thanks for sharing the video
Was hoping for you to find a Suzuki Carry, but a van like this might suit you better, especially vertically. I’d love to see you build or refurbish one and can’t wait to see what you turn up with. This van looks absolutely beautiful on the inside, I’d surely live in it. Wonderful job!
Will, I'm sorry to hear about your eye. I hope it heals up soon. What can I say? It's another fun and wacky video. I do enjoy all your content. Keep your videos coming.
Loved this one Will. Would love to see you drive down this avenue further, in who knows what. A camper for a grand (or thereabouts) . I would like to recommend an old Honda based Romahome with the 550cc engine.
In my younger days I did prank a steamed up slightly rocking car window in that car park in formby this is going back like 15 years ago I was told it was a regular dogging spot@@UrbanVanlife
I loved watching Doug's renovation as im doing similar with my elderly Motorhome called Reg. Progress on Reg is much slower but then I'm clueless and havent done much van DIY before. 😂
One hundred percent l I want you to do a new van built in a similar vehicle like this in condition! This was a nice surprise being all ruggen on the outside and so cosy inside :) Keep 'em coming !
Hi will just watch this video and what a cracking old camper 👌🏻. Cheap and cheerful just how I like em. And yes please please please show more of these quirky campers they are brilliant 👌🏻👍🏻.
Hi Will, 👍I would love you to do a classic van up. Urban vanlife have done a superb job on that camper especially inside, it has everything you want, and it’s so classic looking which gives it its character. That sure was a nice park up for the night. A really nice camper for the price. Thank you Neil for allowing Will to camp out in your vehicle. Thank you Will for the awesome once again. I would rather have a classic camper than a modern one. All the best. 🤟🏼👍✌️🥰🥰
Cracking video, doesn’t Doug look so cozy inside - loved the stealth comment made me chuckle! Great idea to do a budget conversion. Thanks as ever for an entertaining and interesting video - all the very best, David & Rachel 👍
I do like the renovation on this camper van such an inviting camper van and the microwave oven suites the decor also the clock a very tasteful renovation it would be good to see you renovate a modern classic camper van possibly an interior a little tired but in good mechanical condition as you mentioned it's one of the most comfortable camper vans you have spent a night in in over a year
Cracking vid mate.......would love to see you do a conversion series on an old jalopy/classic......maybe a clapped out Fiat Caravelle if you can get your hands on one! 😎👍👊
Great video and awesome motor home, the small details (retro electric panel) are what make these type vehicles unique. I’m surprised you didn’t do your rating this time around.
I knew it wouldnt be long b4 you got yr hands on Doug lol. You should definatly take a trip in our Lucy a 1996 vw high top. I was born just up the road from where you stayed. But i live in N.Wales now.
Love Doug but Mary is my dream van TBH, Would love to have either the money to get one or the knowledge to build one but Yep Mary is the one for me, well done Will!!
Thumbs up if you want to see another van build project 👍🏼, only this time on a beaten down vehicle that needs some love and attention 🛠️. Doug’s an inspiration 😂
Bringing an old 90s camper in the 21st century would be interesting, like overhauling electrics to deal with modern tech etc.
Please do it 😂
Just Do It!!!!!
I think you should buy an old Tolbert and let’s make it sexy
Yep another van build on an old, cheap motorhome would be interesting
Yes, more of these please! You would not think the inside was so nice from the outside. Great way to deter people from contemplating breaking in. Thanks a million!!
Got to love Doug . He’s just a lovable mess 😂😂😂😂 how many miles has he done 260,000 ??? 26,000 ya dope oh you still owe me that £1000 or was is a £10
Neil I think we all love Doug, he's a life saver 🥰🐶.
😂😂 I was sure it said 260,000 miles
