Back in Whitby Falling into the Van - VAN LIFE UK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2024
- I'm back in the UK after a 2 month trip around the south of Thailand! What a trip indeed. I will be uploading more of that trip in the coming weeks along side my current Whitby content.
In this video I'm trying to put the van back together. However the sliding door has stopped working and to make matters worse, the back door gave up the ghost not long after. What to do!? I'm also back in work, gah! I need a drink!
The maknig of the video thumbnail is at the end of the video.
I'm making this up as I go. How am I going to afford it? Where am I going? Why? What do I get up to?
It's going on right now, I'm out here full time and seeing where it takes me!
Come join me, there's beer! :)
Feel free to comment and let me know what you would like to see in the future.
I have a new Instagram Channel:

Come and join me over there, and keep up to date with where I'm at and what I'm up to! :)

This is my first van conversion. I have no experience nor particular skills in this. I am basically converting a van to live in full time using the information from watching youtube videos...Let's see how that pans out :)
Here is what I aim to do:
Convert a van to live in it full time
Travel the entire coastline of the UK
Improve my filming/editing skills
Document the entire journey
Drink beer... :)
==================================
Hi, my name is Si.
In late September of 2021 I decided that I was a little bored with my small business selling antique and vintage furniture based in South Wales UK which we started 4 years ago from the ground up. I fancied doing something else completely, something fun and a new challenge, and that new thing is full time van life.
So, currently, I've closed down the business and I'm now living in the van partime. I have a Ford Transit SWB medium top van and that’s pretty much it. From here on out I am going to be filming my journey into full time vanlife, the van conversion (no experience) and everything it takes to get there. A kind of before and after video series of how I finally (no guarantees) got to where I want to be.
I am hoping to have the conversion done by summer 2022 (this didn't happen! maybe summer 2023?) and then travel fulltime around the coastline of the UK working along the way to fund the project/lifestyle. I may head to Spain first though? I have no idea what is about to happen... :)
Join me in that process (warts and all) and hopefully I can inspire someone else to do whatever it is they wish to do from the absolute ground up.
“Keep the vision, trust the process”.

I must admit your one of my favorites you're such a funny man welcome home
Ah thanks John. Very much appreciated :) loads more vids to come :)
It's so nice to be back in your old Home I bet..
Yeah I do like being in the van. Even better when you're travelling along the coastline looking for places to camp :)
Welcome back Si, keep doing what your doing mate your luck will change it always evens itself out eventually stay positive see you in the next one.
Cheers Iain, much appreciated 👍 it may be a bit naff on the out side but it's sunny on the inside! Lol
I had E3 code on mine, changed the glow plug and no problems. The heater hadn't been used that much so was very reluctant. And my fan made the same noise and it was the cable rubbing also. Happy days when it started working again Michelle
Thanks Michelle. Yeah what a relief to get it going again. It's been a right pain in the ass. But it's all rainbows and marshmallows now! :) Si.
@SuperVanVagabond The heater the most important piece of kit.
@@ilikejelly7890 yeah pretty much. Especially winter as the humidity will cause condensation and will create mould and if it gets too bad, you're van is done. Besides, when your van is warm, you want to spend time inside it.
That dodgy door sensor is forcing yoga on your body. I know how annoying it is when you hit the key fob and th horn goes off. Good to see your back in Whitby and you had a smashing time in Thailand. Im will try and catch up for a pint in May. All the best!
Yeah I needed to do some stretching so it's a win win! I should be grateful 🙏 Thank-you van :)yeah look forward to a pint in May:)
well thats given me a laugh .at the end
Hahaha glad ya liked it :)
