My dog loves riding on the bed, obseving traffic and barking at everything. Especially the motorcycles. The bigger the car the more he loves it. He is my furry lord of the traffic.
It's a lovely van you guys , the price at the end with respray is awesome , just had a quote for mine 3k now that on top of the price of mine 3k straight way puts mine more costly to yours , I also have a swb but with a rock n roll bed but I am toying with the idea of selling the bed and going modular ,dunno yet , great video again
Thank you! Resprays are so costly but it’s worth it. We think a modular set up works best in a van our size because it gives you variety and more use out of your living space!
..allo guys,thanks so much for the tour around Benny,awesome!...I've just,only this weekend,finished converting my van,and i'm planning my maiden voyage this coming week...a trip to Pembrokshire,before heading inland to visit family in Mid-Wales...i love the fact that you have kept a record of your trips,with the magnets and stuff,and i'm gonna try and do something similar...stay safe out there peeps....cheers..T
Congrats on completing the build! That’s so exciting! Pembrokeshire is a great maiden voyage, if you haven’t already you could check out our Wales series for some van friendly places to take yours! Shell Island up north near Porthmadog is a cool place to stay, we’ve never stayed at a campsite like it! You should definitely get magnets, even if you don’t have exposed metal you could get a metal plate up on the wall or put them on a fridge! Safe travels & enjoy!☺️
@@bennyandbeyond ..I defo will check em' out!..and thanks for the metal plate idea,as i dont have much metal,or a fridge...shell island is now on the 'to do' list...thanks!
Great video guys i love how you have done so well on a reasonable budget we finished a t4 around 2 years ago and last year madt a t4 trailer for the kids im now redoing our first van as we really dont use the junk in the cupboards you hit the nail on the head with storage and allthogh we don't live in the van we do go away quite often for a weekend most of what was in thevan hasn't been used not sure exactly were im going with the new install however it will be minimal
Thank you so much! A lot of thought and planning went into making sure we optimised the storage, we’ve also found that we had things in the van we had never used so we did a big clear out recently after we’d spent enough time in the van to know what we definitely need! A minimal build sounds good, will also give you more room especially with kids. Safe travels!☺️
You guys have done such a great job! I have just converted my own vw and used your videos as inspiration! Wondering how you made your countertop at the back heat proof?
Thank you so much! Wow that’s so cool, glad we could help! From what we can remember we found a type of varnish that was heat resistant / proof from B&Q and did a few coats, nearly two years on it’s still exactly the same as when we made it so it must work!🤣
Thank you! We took off the backs, cut them down to the curve of the van and then created wooden blocks drilled into the top and one side of each bin so we could drill the blocks into the wall and it was much sturdier than trying to just drill the bread bins in
I did give it a go at one point but gave up after about ten minutes🤣 the fabric is beautiful as well so it’s a shame but the sheets are functional so it’s not the end of the world! Thank you so much!☺️
Hey guys good job on the build, I've just finished mine well it's never finished 😆 Try a lady in aberdare for making your bed covers, she's the cheapest on the planet that I could find, she is called chrystelle fibres, I have a contactt number if you want it, sadly you've bought your foam already as she makes and supplies cheaper than you can pay for the foam. Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need the number for her. Also let me know if you'd like to hook up somewhere for a chat and a coffee. Jason
Thank you so much! That’s super helpful, everywhere we’ve looked has been a bit expensive to get them covered (hence trying to do it myself and giving up🤣) which has made us put it off but that sounds great! When we get back after this trip I’ll look into it - again, thank you so much!☺️
Hey 👋🏼 😊 Where is Chrystelle Fibres located please….? Would be good to collect a few decent quotes for my cushions/covers. Guys, Benny is beautiful. I’ve literally just purchased a T4 LWB, and although she needs some welding and preferably a re-spray, is in good nick and now it’s down to me to ‘kit’ her out so to speak….. I was considering a UA-cam channel to start documenting this experience actually but not too sure on that one yet. She does have some form of electrics in her, they aren’t connected at the moment as the previous owner said they keep shorting out and so I will definitely be getting the electrics professionally checked/fitted - definitely not something I would be confident in doing myself! You guys have really inspired me to get cracking on ‘Frankie’ and to get away with my two 10 year old children to have those special, cosy times and to teach them the simpler things in life. New subscriber here! Keep up the great work 🤩🙏🏽❤️
@@namastetyson hey there! Definitely start the channel, our channel is mainly to document this time in our lives, provide us with a video diary of our adventures and the share them with people we love & likeminded people! It’s really rewarding as well! Frankie sounds great, I’m sure you guys will have so many happy and fond memories with her!☺️ I definitely recommend getting those electrics checked - we used Dragon Motorhomes in Barry (Gary from Barry!) and highly recommend if you’re around the Cardiff area. And don’t worry about the build needing to be finished to go away - you can make memories at any stage! That’s all so exciting, safe travels!🚐
@namastetyson6267 she is based in aberdare South Wales UK, and I've not found cheaper anywhere. I'll dm you her mobile once I know how to do it (getting old and not very tech minded 😆) good luck Jason and Walter my 1994 t4
We show the toilet in the video, it’s a fold out one kept under our bed. For showers we often use leisure centres as they’re the most readily available whereever we travel.
Great ideas we are just about to take the plunge with our first build !
I love the bread bins as lockers! Genius!
Thank you! They’ve come in so handy, we love them!
Lovely Video, you are lovely folk, good luck to you both! dx
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed!
Great use of the space! Thank you for the tour, lovely little van! 😎
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the tour!☺️
Love the vids guys! What's the make and model of your compressor fridge?
My dog loves riding on the bed, obseving traffic and barking at everything. Especially the motorcycles. The bigger the car the more he loves it. He is my furry lord of the traffic.
We love it! We need a furry lord of the traffic for our van!
Beautiful van build. Inspired by your bread bin storage! 🙂
Thank you! We absolutely love them☺️

Thank you so much!☺️
I like this!! Good and imaginative ikea use!!.
Thanks
Thank you! They have so many products that can be used in a van & at a good price!
Got mine up to 280bhp with a NOS system, kitted out the back woth speakers and decks and called it the bass wagon 👍
Wow! Love that!
Great video guys i love how you have done so well on a reasonable budget we finished a t4 around 2 years ago and last year madt a t4 trailer for the kids im now redoing our first van as we really dont use the junk in the cupboards you hit the nail on the head with storage and allthogh we don't live in the van we do go away quite often for a weekend most of what was in thevan hasn't been used not sure exactly were im going with the new install however it will be minimal

Great van tour guys! Amazing how you guys are fitting all your stuff in such a small van, respect ✌🏽 It’s a beautiful home, you should be proud of it
Thank you so much!💛 Nearly a year and going strong💪🏼
Brilliant well done 👌👌👌
Thank you!☺️

Love the van, how did you fix the bread bins?
Thank you! We took off the backs, cut them down to the curve of the van and then created wooden blocks drilled into the top and one side of each bin so we could drill the blocks into the wall and it was much sturdier than trying to just drill the bread bins in
Thank you, think we might give it a go
They’re great, we haven’t had any issues with them!
Love this xxx
Thank you!!☺️
Can confirm, upholstering foam is the worst job! Mine are half finished!! Benny is adorable 🥺🏴
I did give it a go at one point but gave up after about ten minutes🤣 the fabric is beautiful as well so it’s a shame but the sheets are functional so it’s not the end of the world! Thank you so much!☺️
Thanks for the Tardis tour. Has anyone seen my dairy milk??😅
I think I’m single handedly keeping them in business!🤣

Bath and toilet?
We show the toilet in the video, it’s a fold out one kept under our bed. For showers we often use leisure centres as they’re the most readily available whereever we travel.
