Most of this is used to keep emilys snack cupboard topped up but occasionally she lets Lou have
some to buy the dog treats!
Love the dancing at the end!!!
Awsome love the banter and both so full of talent 💖💖💖💖☺
Seems odd to be watching back when lockdown started, I'm pleased you had a project in the van to help your sanity. I was one of the lucky ones that managed to work from home from 17th March 2020. but being cooped up and still working from home even now, still messes with your head on occasion. I moved nearly a year ago and having the extra space and a garden has really helped. it's amazing what you can do when up put your mind to it. you've done a fantastic job on the van, looking forward to binge watching the rest and catching up with where you go. safe travels.
I can imagine, a garden really does make a difference I think
Just catching up on your Vlogs. Loving your van 😃
😀😀
As always a wonderful video both in content and production (Lou should be giving lessons to a few people at aunty Beeeb). Just in case anyone encounters the same scew issue as Lou, I have a solution that may help some. First progress as Lou did. Then you can shorten the screws, either by hacksawing the tip off (hold the screw in a vice or mole grips by wrapping it in cardboard) or if you have strong wire cutters you can often just snip them to size. You can then replace the smaller screws and washes using the same holes. Hope this helps someone
You both are stars in your own fields, a perfecto match
Nicking some of your ideas!!
🥰🥰🇪🇦
Thanks marianne, nick as many as you like 😁😁
"I measured the cat yesterday" hahahaa! As always - love your vids
😁😁 cheers Jenna
If I ever, ever get to Van traveling, I would definitely build my van around my dogs, gotta have to be something big enough for them to move, and short enough to go into those tiny little town roads.
Yeah totally agree
Awesome vid 👌 👍 had me tears a few times
Thanks spunky 😁👍
All coming together rather nicely guys. Oh, and your right , hardest part is getting the right van, gees oh , the pain of this !
Thanks Pete 😁 it's hard work right! You having any luck?
@@campervibe Not at the moment ! prices are getting mad in some bits lol. still, the right one is out there somewhere.
“Welcome back to the van” ^.^ Love it.
Haha, thanks kai 👍😁
It is interesting and healing to watch this video. I wait for the next.
Thank you so much 😁👍
@@campervibe You're welcome. Take care.
Another great video, the vans looking awesome
Thank you so much 😁👍
Looks great! We love the wooden cladding! We've used it in ours too!
Thank you 😁 the wood just makes it all that more homely. Thanks for watching 👍
You guys have done an amazing job on the build. Love it!
Thank you so much 😁👍
Another great vids from yourselfs , freshly fallen snow is a great tune but for some reason I keep thinking about snow in Chamonix can't think why 🤔
Thank you. Its a free tune from the youtube library, I really like it. Hopefully if we ever get to chamonix we'll play it. Seems so unlikely with the way things are at the moment! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Great stuff again girls. Love the moves too.
That was brave Louise, using one of her indoors plates as a template. Hope you didn’t leave a pencil mark on it.
Emily is spending so time in the van, now it’s so very nearly finished !! 😂
“ Fanny “ is really looking great girls.
She didn't know I used it until tonight when she saw the video, she wasn't happy, I didn't tell her I couldn't get the pencil mark off so just put it away still on there. She won't be impressed. Nevermind. 😁 She's not sold on the name fanny either, so that means it's a winner from me!
BS EN JumpOnIt 🤩🤩
It's the official test 😉😂
"measured the cat" I really did LOL. 😂
😂😂😂👍
Hilarity at its best 😆 🤣
Nicely made again Louise are you sure the dog can`t get his head in for a late night nibble though , the van looks great me and the missus really like it we like to watch your videos together in front of the telly , nice to hear your into wildlife photography it`s a passion of mine and one of the reasons for building my van the barn owl in my profile pic was a good days (very early morning as you do) photography what set up do you have if you don't mind me asking.
Haha, he very nearly can lol! That's really nice to hear that you sit down and watch them together 😁 nice shot of the barney. Don't tell Emily but I buy our vans so they can be used as a mobile photography hide lol, nothing to do with holidays! I shoot with a nikon d750 (full frame) and I've got and old nikon d3400 (crop) that I use. I've got a sigma 150-600 C which isn't too bad for a cheaper lens (although not cheap to me lol) I don't know if you are on Instagram but I have an account just for the wildlife stuff @louisestockbridge
Thankyou both for watching 😁👍
@@campervibe Morning Louise I`m not on Instagram I`m a bit of a dinosaur re-tech stuff our son (25yr old) has just got his mam on so I`ll get him to set me up so I can have a look , I`ve just recently sold all my big gear as it was getting too heavy for me , theres nothing wrong with the sigma I had one and I`ve had the tamron 150-600 also I had the Nikon d500 & Nikon 200-500 vr then I tried the canon 7dmk2 & 100-400mk2 L lens and the Sigma is a match for them all if not better I think the only way to better it is to GO with a 500 or 600 prime and they are mega expensive and weigh a ton , I`ve just got a Fuji xt2 with the 100-400 lens its a nice little set up I`m looking forward to getting out with it soon , whats your passion in wildlife ? I like everything but Birds of prey are my favourite
Impressive diy skills 👍
Thank you 😁👍
All good, congrats on the subs 👍
Thanks Pete, and thanks for watching 😁👍
Congrats on the subs!
Thank you 😁👍
I LOVE your build! That's the same colour scheme I am going for too! Can I ask what size your bench is? I'm going for a similar layout!
Oh I wish I could remember, we have since ripped it out to better suit our dog AJ. I can tell you it fits a small thetford porta loo in on runners, so if you can get the dimensions for that then you’re onto a winner 😀
At least you have yourself a neverending DIY project for the forseable future - only problem is BnQ and Wickes are all shut - its driving us craxy we cant buy anything for our conversion!
Haha, this is true, the van will never really be 'finished' We were lucky to have got a lot of materials just before the lock down. Good luck with your build, and thank you for watching 😁👍
Great job, when you do cost video, can you include cost of van and millage as most people don’t , and it would be nice to see total cost,
Yeh will do, we've got cost of van in there but I'll add mileage and maybe a bit about spec, service history and body condition too now I think about it. Thanks Stephen. 😁
Emily been busy on this one ..might be small job but massive effort put in welldone you two ..what next ..hot water ..aj is georgeous whats is he made of
🤣🤣 What's he made of lol! He's one part husky one part staff. Don't ask us how it happened tho, we don't know which way round, he's a rescue. Thanks Gary 😁👍
Now you have the Emily box sorted only the gag left 😁😉 just kidding ofcourse
😂😂😂
Another great vlog. thank you. could you tell me the sizes of the windows you fitted, because they look the perfect size for us.
Hi there, I'm really sorry but we are away at the minute and I can't get to the invoice to check the exact sizes. If I measure the ones on the van the final measurement doesn't come up the same as the the size they are bought at and for the life of me I can't remember if it's the hole size or finished window size you need to look for. Really sorry, just wouldn't want to give the wrong info, it's an expensive mistake lol!
camper vibe i know you’re away. We are following your exploits closely. Could you take the smiles off your faces please, you’re having far too much fun 🙂. Thanks for your reply.
Hi girls, really enjoyed your vlogs, a great mix of information and humour. Congratulations on the build too, it looks great and worth all the effort. Can I ask where you got the mattress from as I’m converting the same van and will be needing one too soon. Many thanks.
Thank you 😁 of course, we got it from custom size beds, it wasn't the cheapest but its really comfortable. For us it's a pretty important part of the build so wanted something decent. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks so much for your reply, did you have to get a mattress with the corners next to the doors cut out a bit at 45 degrees to fit in ? or do the normal corners sort of squash in ok ? Happy holidays on the driveway and thanks again 😄
@@yorky621 no problem 😁 we had the corners cut off, Emily wanted it to fit well so it's easier to make, I think it might squash in without but didn't want to take the risk.
❤️ thank you
Van looks great are you planning to change it to a camper with the dvla?
Hi Rob, thank you 😁 I don't think we will. I don't know if you are aware of the changes they've made recently but it seems they have made it really difficult and are rejecting almost all applications, I don't know if its worth the hassle for us lol. Plus, I don't want to stick those big stickers on the side as one of the new requirements is it must have campervan decals and it seems they are quite strict in what they are.
Entertaining stuff girls😂👍 can I ask what editing software you use? Cheers....Jim👍
Thanks Jim. I use davinci resolve, it's pretty good for a free video editor. 😁
camper vibe thanks Girls❤️
@@grumbleweed5570 no problem 😁
Hi, did you make a trim for around the bulk head. I am dreading this part 😫
Hi, yeh we did. You can probably see best in this video, although we didn't record much of it ua-cam.com/video/SSBtVW185h8/v-deo.html
@@campervibe thank you
