    Love your "home away from home"! It has you guys all over it in the setup and decor, and it's really cute and looks comfy. Just wanted to let you know, as I watch several of these types of videos on UA-cam, and I only comment about the RV/Van's when I am super impressed. Tahnks for sharing it with us! Look forward to seeing more in the future..... 👍

    Please do video on how to make your tent or awning. Does your rear tent work in the rain? Also interested in your side ladder.

    • @Awesome.roadtrip
      @Awesome.roadtrip  2 роки тому

      Hello! Yes we’re definitely going to make some more detailed videos about some of the elements. The rear tent works really well in the rain too!

      The Lion box is definitely a gem but I’m going to have to go with the sun couch!

    Defs want to see what it looks like when all the outdoor tents are set up. And also what it looks like at night. 🙏😊
    Maybe you guys could share what certain camp sites cost, or what you look for when booking in, how long do you generally stay at one place, that sort of thing.
    Sorry for all the question, but I am really keen on doing van life.

    • @Awesome.roadtrip
      @Awesome.roadtrip  2 роки тому

      Hey! Yes we’ve got some follow up videos coming with more details about the build and the. Life on the road etc. so hopefully those will be up relatively soon!

    Awesome guys! Excellent setup. Very keen to see a deep-dive into the battery power setup. I fried my inverter so looking into a better solution for mobile power.

    Lol, did you voice over the recording? If so that's impressive, I haven't seen any other comments about it

    • @Awesome.roadtrip
      @Awesome.roadtrip  2 роки тому +1

      Exactly right, ha ha. The original sound was terrible because of how windy it was so had to either improvise or redo… went with the VO option. Lol.

  • @TheMagnificentGman
    @TheMagnificentGman 2 роки тому +1

    Awe ma se kinners. Gorgeous build. Do you boondock at all or only do camp sites? It's a pity south africa is so unsafe it would be cool to wake up next to the beach every day

    • @Awesome.roadtrip
      @Awesome.roadtrip  2 роки тому

      Howzit! No especially with two kids we keep to the official campsites… luckily though we’ve been to a few sites that are literally right on the beach or river so I think the only thing we really miss out on is saving some cash.

  • @lizozom9065
    @lizozom9065 2 роки тому +1

    Awesome , fabulous, lovely , wonderful carefully planned and built van , but am afraid about the location of the fridge , was it not going to better if the fridge went on the base , down underneath on the floor of the van bcoz it's heavy and then the drawers on top of it , i mean just in case the drawer where it sits can't hold it on the road and it breaks , and all on that side will be destroyed . Hahahaha am just saying . Well the van is faaabuulous, will copy it for my build 🇿🇦🇿🇦

    • @Awesome.roadtrip
      @Awesome.roadtrip  2 роки тому

      Ha ha, thanks so much. We decided to have the fridge higher so that we didn’t have to bend down all the time. The carcass is made of 18mm plywood bolted to a steel frame attached to the car body and the fridge drawer itself is also 18mm plywood with 400kg drawer slides so it should be no problem luckily. Been on some insane roads with bumps and twists and had no issues. Thanks so much for the comment though, keep watching!

    • @Awesome.roadtrip

      When do you plan on starting your build?

    • @lizozom9065
      @lizozom9065 2 роки тому

      @@Awesome.roadtrip anytime from next month bcoz am planning on being on the road from down Cape Town going all up to Morocco and then inside Europe (got me an EU passport thru marriage ) , then from there continue . I love vanlife one doesn't have to worry about hotel bookings or accommodation for you move with it all in one ,🇿🇦🇿🇦
