Thanks again you legends for the help! And Steve, what can we say - what a gent!! 💕
I had no idea Eamon and Bec helped you with Custard. Very cool. Y’all are all real people. Much live to you all.
Our dear butts!! We had the best time getting to know you and your newest family member Custy! Cannot wait to reunite sometime very very soon in a hot European country ☀️ ❤️! So excited to see the bus all finished up and ready to take on the world! BANGKOK BABY x
WHHOOOPP! haha MEGA plans and ideas being thrown about 😂
Thanks again you guys, for all the love, help, food and support you cane and gave us. Truly appreciated. Can't wait for another catch up on the road! 🚌 🚌
Just saying: I looove the intro song. I'm always singing along with you, it's so good. 😂
Custard 🚌 is coming along great and Steve is a hero.
Steve is a true hero and a great new friend 💗 haha the intro song should be in the charts (top qual 🤔 😂)
This is the only intro I never skip 😂😂
I just love your song Custard🤣 and she looks amazing.Can't wait for her to be done.🚞
haha. available on Spotify soon! 🤣 thanks Lindy 💓
Eamon and Bec are simply the best! I love their channel and it’s wonderful they were able to selflessly give their time, energy, expertise and love to Custard. They truly are legends and to see them on your channel just made my day. You’re doing great with Custard. She’s looking great. Be proud of yourselves for what you’ve done so far.
Ah thanks a bunch Steve, we can’t talk about them highly enough 😃 such kind and caring people 😊
Thanks mate!
Custard is a babe! Really hope Eamon and Bec's audience jump on board for the Kinging- It journey!
JK7. I did. 😁
@@loiswilson7474 Yey! :D
haha thanks bud! Would love some more peeps heading over too 😃
@@loiswilson7474 Whoop! Welcome to the weirdness 😀 Thanks for coming over Lois!
Kinging- It and.... Eamon and Bec encourages us to do it
You guys attract the kindest people to help you out . . . Eamon and Bec, Steve, and awesome Jess (Mongol Rally) . . . you two radiate such great energy and are so genuine that people can't help themselves but to be around you two and help you in any way. If you guys make it to Barcelona let me know, my brother will make sure you have a great time. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see your new adventures!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Aww that’s SO kind and thoughtful of you Ari! Thank you 😊♥️
I’ve been binge watching your channel over the past week. India Trip is the best thing on her since Casey vlogged his life in NYC - properly wicked...love the genuine optimism oozing from you two. Here’s to Custard not being too lumpy!
Haha thanks James! Major compliment 😁👊 we’re hoping she drives like one smooth big lump! 😂
Great to see Eamon and Bec on your build. Also Steve's cupboards look great! Mum's carpet is ace too. Amazing bathroom walls. Wow! Custard is going to be great!
AHH cheers a bunch Neale! We've done VERY well with help on this conversion - we don't have a jar of glue between us! hahah Thanks for following along and commenting 😊
So lovely to have friends old and new that pitch in
Makes a big task doable and the memories are irreplaceable
It really does, we could have cried when Steve turned ups, and Eamon and Bec AND Rob... we are lucky devils!
💕💕💕. What an awesome bunch of people coming to help you out. Feeling the love. Your doing a bloody fab job guys. 👏👏👏😘😘🤩
Thanks Susan! 🥳♥️
Going through your build vids right now. I so love them. I watch tons of these kinds of videos and I find your style so refreshing. It's short, not too technical (there's so many van build videos on UA-cam already that go into detail) and these videos are really fun to watch. And you know Eamon and Bec! I've been following them for ages. I'm taking a break from their channel right now, because they're renovating that cabin (so many vanlifers seem to get into "normal" life again) and I'm really only interested in vanlife videos, but they're great people. Anyway, I'm immensely enjoying your vids even if I'm not commenting on every single one (I hope I don't forget to "like" them all). All the best! 👍🏽😉
Thanks so much Jens for such a lovely comment!
We can't wait to get across the pond (possibly with Custard) to visit Eamon and Bec, they were so lovely coming to help us with our build!
You're a legend for helping us out with the likes and comments!! haha truly - thank you!
@@kingingit - If you guys are ever sick of the wet, cold winter weather in the UK, come over to the Canary Islands. I know there's a lengthy and rather costly ferry trip involved, but it's worth it. We have 18-21°C all through the winter and even 24-26°C are pretty normal. The islands are extremely versatile, especially the mini continent Tenerife with its many climate zones. If you should ever find yourself on my little rock in the Atlantic, don't hesitate to give me a holler. I'd be happy to show you around. All the best! 👍🏽😎
What a great guy Steve! Champion!
And having Eamon and Bec together with you guys is always such a gift, the best time ever! It is a little UA-cam fest when this happens!
I must say that the man upstairs is watching over both of you! He sent some help. The perfect help. Almost done! I can't wait to see it finished. You guys deserve it!
Your videos are so much fun. I can't wait for your next video. CUSTARD is looking so amazing.😄
Such amazing friends/angels. So positive to watch. Love you guys. Still smiling when I hear the Custard Song!
😘♥️
Love you guys!! Hang in there, you'll "git er done". You always attract the best people with your positive vibes. 🍻 on your new adventures in Custard from BC, CANADA🇨🇦
Thanks so much! We are so lucky to make such brilliant friends 👭 custard is getting some major attention! Maybe we will bring her to BC one day 😃 🇨🇦
Oh our Eamon and Bec! Oh my wonderfuls! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
You are very fortunate to have such adept, skilled, knowledgeable & kind friends. (Wish I had the same.)
Binge re-watching King-ing it videos and this one has a great ❤️ 2 ❤️ talk from Craig (10:56) that was quite wonderful. Oh yeah Eamon & Bec are always great. Let’s not forget the Jess wig that Aimee has, looking sleek.
Loving this series, the intro makes me laugh every time. Custard coming along great here, so much hard work. Great that you had so many talented people to lend a hand. Been a while since I watched Eamon and Bec, will go check their channel out again.
Shaun Garratt come on over Shaun! We’d be stoked to see ya again ❤️
Wear your bloody seat belt.
Also, Steve you are a legend.
haha mush brain. from too much busing. Yeah you can say that again, what a champion!

How amazing to have so much great help. I’m so proud of you all for kinging it and ruling your own world! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💓

I love the custard song in the beginning 😂 can’t wait to see it finished!
Haha Craig’s beautiful voice brings joy to all 😂
I'm so enjoying your vlogs!! You're both so positive and delightful! Wishing you all the best on your travels.
Everything looks fab. Even the stair carpet but I’m so glad I won’t be brushing the dirt out of all them grooves!
Aimee, I can’t believe, at your age, your mum is still saying “clean your room”!!! That really made me laugh. 😂
😂😂😂😂 I’m a messy one!
You’re doing it! You’re doing it! You’re doing it! 🎉😍 I don’t even know how but you’re doing it! Im inspired and impressed.

"Her name is Custard - Cusstard...and shes a big Yellow Cusstarrdeeee Bus...." Oh ma god...its actually my most fav intros so far -- La la la la lala...la la la la la-la-deee bus! x

Great video, great van conversion. Don't know if anyone told You, but when I was sayin' that I was planning to put in cabinets from IKEA, people where screamin': "They are not made to be mounted in a van, they will shake to pieces!". Don't know what others say about it though or what experiences people that have them mounted have. Just wanted to let You know.
Thanks bud! Good tip, we will let you know how they go 🤣 we tend to not listen too much to nay sayers... but saying that we hope they work out!
Rip sweet steve ✨
Rest in the clouds ☁️
Will you be setting up a camera on the back of custard to help maneuver it? I'd be so worried trying to go in reverse! Love watching you both and re-watching all the old stuff again and again!
Of course! She’s a heafty one so we’ve got a rear view camera from haloview 😊 works wonders! Bus tour coming VERY soon! 😊👍
Killing it guys
I'm only saying this to spur you on... 'I don't think you will finish it' Great build guys
Watch this space... MR PETE!!
@@kingingit can't wait to see it finished, good luck guys 😁
Holy god! So close!!!!
🥳🥳
Jess from the rally! I hope she found love
Aww, not just yet, but SHOUTS TO ANYONE LISTENING.. she's a right catch 😝
“I picture how much you’re going to blame me when it starts leaking”
Narrator: the roof fan did in fact leak the first night on the road.
Great collab. Craig, mmm two words and a big slap up your head ! Seat Belt 🤨
He got all excited didn’t he!! 🙈
Doesn’t usually do that and I’ll make sure he doesn’t again!! 😊
Did you guys go back in and put insulation in the ceiling above the tongue and groove?
Just an observation. But the bus only has one seat with strap (the driver seat).
Watch this space Simon!
Of course Aimee needs her own co pilot seat, we just haven’t bolted it in yet - next episode 😊👊
Like an explorer
Steve, absolute leg
Best person alive really..
Thank you Steve for pimping out Custard...
He’s our hero 😇
I am a bit confused. I thought you are doing this van conversion in Western Australia to tour Australia? Definitely the buildings on the video doesn’t look Australian and looks like UK lol
Anyways, I cannot wait for that thing to be finished and moving.
haha what?! No we were never doing it for Australia. We just had a trip in between the build out there. She is making progress 😃
Kinging- It Oh I thought all this while you are doing this in Australia not UK. I don’t know why I got that impression but hey, at least I didn’t get the impression you are doing this in Iceland LOL
Still making progress?🤪 I thought you are going to be on the road with it on July 17? Schedule running on delay?😀
Where is the roof insolation ?
Its in there Trish! Might have just skipped over that bit 😊 but we’ve got it 😊
Does custard have her own Instagram @Kinging-it?
Haha no. She’d get too big headed. She already has a massive ego. So we’re trying to keep her humble 😊
@@kingingit haha fair play. Just might be worth it, I know wheresmolliesvan gets a lot of love and interest 🙌 🚐
I don’t know if I should get a sprinter or a Dodge
hmmm tough choice. Sprinters are pretty gangster!
But they are very expensive but very nice you sure do get what you pay for with a sprinter 😋
Where in Barry u based ?
😲😲😀😀👍
No insulation for the ceiling ?
You can't see it in the timelapse but we were stuffing insulation in as we were going 👍
That fake supreme is terrible 🤢
Haha does it really offend you THAT much? 😆 got it from a car booty for £3? What’s the problem here.. 🧐
Kinging- It child labor in the counterfeit market for one and it looks trashy
@@jackstanley7052 trust me, there's no child labour in the market in our town 😂what's your address Jack? Sounds like you need a hug pal
