    We actually cut a hole in the roof to fit a Maxxfan Delux because they are one of the best fans out there, And when your building and converting a van into a campervan then some times you need to fit the best things, Cutting a hole for a Maxx fan Delux seems a daunting thing to do but its what makes van life so much fun its being able to do the thing that most people won't do, But its an easy job and even a fool can do it or should I say did it . the whole process was an easy one to do and I'm so happy we chose to fit the Maxx fan Delux because it will extract air for when your cooking and also bring air into the van when it gets warm. in this series of videos you can watch us as we convert our VW crafter in to a full campervan and take you along the build step by step hopefully helping and making you want to join us in building your home on wheels #maxxfandelux #vwcrafterconversion #urbanexplorer

    "hope you're all smiling at that one" you never fail to make me chuckle . We both have the same type of speaky language when we're not on script :P I love your adlibbing, and it's fun watching it all come together in a way that isn't dry and boring. There's too many how to videos that are boring and mundane, you bring some life and personality which always makes me smile. I liked your exampl of blowing in and out... very thorough ;) :P "shoosh you" 😂

      it just gives the screws a bit more meat to grip in to rather than just the roof skin , that's my thinking mate

    We're currently converting our Crafter and it will end up getting a MaxxFan as well. There are custom made roof adapters available in the US of A, I'm trying to source one in Germany right now. Saves from "building" a tape stack to get the height even all the way around... 😎
    Couldn't help but notice you also have an alarm-equipped Crafter (sensors on the bulkhead and above the rear hatch)? 🤔
    You're ahead on videos against us - as we have just started with our van - but we'll catch up. 😁 And we're subbed for the German-language-uninitiated! 😂
    We're binge watching your conversion videos at this time, soaking up all the info. 📺🤪
    Thanks a bunch, Neil and best regards from Germany! 🍀

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  2 роки тому +1

      hey guys thanks for the great comment , ok regarding the alarm sensor , you have one front and one back , i actually forgot to add the back one lol , but the front one we added just for a little extra safey , most people remove them but i dont see the point in doing that to be honest you may as well have the alarm fully working , if your on inst hit me up there if you need to ask aany thing guys , and good luck youll get it done in no time

    One question. Looks like you have been busy, and it may be in another video you haven't released yet. Where did you get the unistrut from in the UK???
    Looks like you are gonna make a brilliant job of this one mate, thank you for your tips so far, already I've learned a lot, you have some subtle ways of doing things that make stuff easier ( rule under the waste material for the fan, stops the waste falling in or tearing before cut is finished) top quality mate

      yer your right bud im well behind with videos and trying to get them out asap , but the build is taking up all the time . i got it offf amazon mate it was the 41mm and came in 2 x 3mtr sections and was really cheap i think about £36 . im still waiting for the little screw things you bolt stuff down to but amazon mate delivered to your door

      yer mate im the same , its on the roof it dont need to loot like its from a factory and get that stika on , teh more the better cos i see so many people doing it and then making it all tidy and sexy loking , as if people care about the roof lol . but then they have to get back up there to put more on , just wack it on there . time hmm id say in all if im honest 2 hrs would feel about right , i think it to me about that . but im filming as well and that makes every job so much longer ,
