    Great quick review of the NEC. Wanting seats for your new build Sprinter check out Scheel-Mann seats? I have just added a driver and passenger seat to my 2016 Sprinter and they look absolutely brilliant and so comfortable. They are pricey but well worth the money. Normal delivery is about 6 weeks from Germany. I ordered mine through APE Vans, Andy was so helpful. Andy also has single bases available if you are converting from a double seat to a single.

    We couldn’t make the show this time so was lovely that your video could take us with you. We have the multicoloured strip lights in ours as the white can be too bright at nighttime so we change the colour for ambiance. Really enjoyed all the stalls you took us too 😊 xx

    Hi guys we went to the Nec today looking for a motorhome but struggling to justify some of the price tags, and delivery dates edging into June next year 😫 so keenly watching your van build as you have a good value for money mindset and thats essential nowadays keep up the good work, very best wishes 👍👍

      Ahh yes they have whacked them prices right up! Mind you the demand is also high so if their waiting lists are huge suppose they can do it… frustrating for those looking though. Hopefully you will find one you like reasonable price if not why not build? Thank you for watching XxRR

    Kids in a sweet shop lol i would stick to your induction hob as the diesel heater stove is not a food idea. As you will have to have the diesel heater on every time you cook and it will over heat the van. Stick to induction hob and a separate diesel heater. Just my opinion. Great vibe so much to chose from. The merc at £153k was nice michael UK

    Great video loved the diesel hob/heater fab idea kills two birds with one stone. However i would be a bit cautious having diesel as the only source of heat/cooking just because of the times we find ourselves living in -think you should have a plan b for back up for something so essential especially through winter months. Those wheels are badass wheels can't wait to see them fitted if you go for them!

    • @TheRollingRucks
      @TheRollingRucks  2 роки тому +1

    Hi guys, we had a wallas duo cooktop in our iveco daily home built van and found it to be patchy in it heating of such a large van. They are great in smaller vans but we found on REALLY cold nights it would only heat the top half of the van, the floor would be really cold. If I could do it over again I would put under floor heating in with fan assisted heat exchangers. Spend your money on a lithium battery bank and an induction stove. Our van was fully off grid that we lived in for 2 years. I’m also in South Wales so if you need a hand or advice let me know 👍🏻 good luck guys
