If it’s good enough for Alan…!
should hang a hammock type thing for Alan or a sleeping shelf
You have done an amazing job on the van. Just love how you both work together. You are meant for each other.
Just want to say/remind you, this is YOUR adventure, we're just lucky enough to be along for the ride. The only consideration you need to make is, is it right for you? If you answer yes, then nothing else matters! All four of you are amazing (yes, I'm including your dad!) and the van looks amazing. This is coming from some one who's wife puts the emergency department on standby any time I get out the power drill, so you can only imagine how amazed we are a the work you've done in such a short period of time!
To all the "criticism" (I'm sure it's meant to be positive), my daughter says, "shake it off, shake it off" ... yes that's a pop reference 😉
You've done an amazing job. The colours combined with the wood give it the much needed warmth so it doesn't have that white sterile ambulance look. It's very cosy and those tiles are just beautiful. Well done. Looking forward to your Italy trip now.
The tiles look amazing! I need to get some tilling for Ganymede. Loving that “Ginger” is still determined to get to Alan!
In that space where the window is not going in you should have a picture of you big boats put there.Your tile Emily was very good.
The van looks amazing. The tiles are beautiful ❤
Big thumbs up to the lovely plumber who helped you & to wild & wonderful Dave! Happy Travels
Those tiles are mega gorgeous !!!
I absolutely love the tile! You're so right about the paint though, looks like what you'd find in the diaper or nappy of a newborn. Emily, you look so much happier since your viewer brought you advice and "stuff". Yay!
I'm new here and think Bemily would be a great name for you two. 😘 Very attractive van, love all the colors! Can't wait to follow you guys on youtube! Bon voyage!
Gorgeous tiles
Supper job on tiles
Smashing job, better than the professionals.
Guys , run a candle along the wood beams of the bed ,
The wax then helps the slats slide
along each other 🤙
I’d be happy with it too,it’s fantastic and can only get better as you go along
Love the tiles
Love the tiles!
Brilliant build! Brilliant video! Brilliant couple ❤
Absolutely love the tiles and everything you've done❤❤❤awsome❤❤❤❤
The alanbenembulance looks perfect, it's exactly you!
Well done xx
Ohhhh! Love the tiling! Awesome job!!!
Just Brilliant !😄love the van,the tiles look amazing Emily can’t wait to see you both cook in there on your journeys & use everything,I’m excited to see all the little bits finished next week,well done all of you 🫶🏻
Wow, wow WOW!! 🤩 You have absolutely SMASHED it! It looks fabulous and you must be thrilled. We are currently renovating a vintage touring caravan and you've inspired me with those gorgeous tiles. Best of luck with your trip. Looking forward to watching your next vlogs 😊 xx
Outstanding job. I love your tiles.
That looks great, bright and happy❤
I like the tiles too ❤
You've done a really good job guys. The most important thing is how comfy it is & how you feel about it. I think I'd be tempted to try living in it for a week at home before setting off to Italy though. That way you can iron things out easier.
It’s yours. Love it and enjoy. Happy for you.
I love the tiles!! They are absolutely awesome
well done! 👏🏻 🎉 you’ve smashed it.
have the best trip!! 😊
Great job guys. As long as it is what you like and need then it doesn’t matter whether anyone else likes it…well, other than Alan of course! Good luck on your trip. Hope it goes smoothly. Look after yourselves. 😊
I love your tile skills Emily!
16:35 Emily's not just smiling, she's glowing! 👀
23:15 maybe a razor scraper?
You're not going to cut a hole in the bulkhead between the cab and the main body? You'll really want that when it's raining hard or cold and you don't want to step outside just to go from front to back.
What good job from brian😊😊 26:57
Looks great.
I would recomend installing some insulation (fire proof material) on the greenish panel.
The van looks amazing enjoy your journey 😊
Have a great time
Done a great job well done both and great to have a fantastic dad to help you good luck !!
Awesome job, folks! Those tiles - wow! Happy travels 😍
I love what you did with the "No Smoking" sign (although it might not have survived the paint job!) xx
Razor blade for the plastic on the fridge. Looks wonderful.
looking really lovely, love the beautiful tiles as well 😃👍🏻
Ben for such a young person you are a very handy young man
Run a scalpel lightly around the edge of the fridge. Just enough to cut the plastic film but even if you go a bit too hard you won't see the cut marks
Miss your weekly blogs
The ambulance was such a good choice, looks awesome! Any other finishing touches you may find treasures along your adventures 😊
Great job guys.
Bloody well done! You guys are fabulous ❤
Looks awesome love the colour ❤
You both did a great job on that van! Say "hi" to Magic Wave! With love from Southern California!
wow, well done
Bus! ...Magic Bus! ❤
Well done to you both. Enjoy your travels.
Wow just AMAZING 🤩
Well done guys you have worked miracles 👍. Looking forward to your European adventures
You guys are just great. Love your work and looking forward to traveling with you. What a wonderful man that plumber was coming to give you some tips. How wonderful is that. You did a great job with the tiling Emily. Regards from New Zealand.
Like all your colors
Absolutely fantastic build. Well done.
I'm going to hand to comment through the video.
I LOVE THE TILES!!!
Can’t wait for you to take us on the road
You are all so talented. I’d be totally clueless. Happy adventures. Every best wish. ❤
Love the worktop😊
Love your style...so warm and homely ..
Have a great time in Italy..cant wait for videos x
Well Done....go and enjoy it!
Bon voyage 🎉
The tiles are so beautiful. For sure...that color is baby sick.
Well done, you've done an excellent job and I look forward to following you on your next adventure.
Very much enjoyed the van build, great job. Have a great time in Italy. 😊
Good job. 💖
very well done 😆
Ben and Emily for next blue Peter presenters!
Ye are doing really well. I can't wait till next week xx
So happy that 🤮 paint won’t stay. Reminded me of a baby’s dirty diaper 🤣. LOVE the tiles!
Tile work is terrific! Put some beeswax on the wood bits of the bed where they slide against each other, and it will be very easy to slide the bed frame in and out.
Great job,enjoy your holiday.
Looks amazing Guys xx
Looks great! Love the tile! You work so hard (I kept hoping for a pub break, but that’s just me)! Looking forward to your Italian adventures…I think Ginger wants the go, too! Happy traveling!❤️
The van looks great. Wish it was mine! I am looking forward to seeing your road trip.
Given the thickness of that plywood top I fear the tiles aren't going to be a feature for too long 😮
I wish you a great time on the road❤️
The van looks super, love the colours you have chosen, it is warm and happy. Good wishes for your travels!
brilliant guys - well done - now enjoy xxxx
That worktop is the dogs bollocks guys ...
Looks good but you should have primed under the tiles and if you put candle wax we're under the wood that rubs on other wood it will slide perfectly
Looking beautiful, well done. Can’t wait to follow along, safe travels ❤
Ben and Emily: parrot 🦜 wallpaper ? 😊.
Slyyyyy
Absolutely love what you have done with the van.....love the tiles as a quilter love the colours ❤❤❤❤.....Really love watching your vlogs.....and excited to see your travels ......so thanks guys ....xxxxx
Happy Adventures Ben and Emily love to Alan xxx
Use a small blade on the fridge like the car wrappers do
Ben and Emily,
Considering your time schedule and the tight space, you have achieved so much in such a short time. Hope you will be able to sit back someday and appreciate what you have done.
Emily, you appeared to be more stressed when the two of you took that hike and you had problems with acrophobia.
Last week you asked if anyone had any good ideas about cutting the tile where the sink goes. How did you finally cut the tile? The hole is so well done.

Good luck you two. Looking forward to coming to Italy with you. 😅
It's looking great. You both and Dad did a wonderful job. 👍 Love the ceramic tile.
Wow I love it!.. Excited for your road trippin'
What an awesome wrap to a hectic project. Nice job! Can't wait to see your vlog next week. Travel safely...❤❤❤
Good luck I missed that bit 🤗
I Like your Van have a good time in Italy😊
I would have used a grey grout so it doesnt need cleaning so much. Nice tiling cuts
What a great job! Looks so cozy!🥰
Safe travels!
Very nice
Get a hairdryer on the protective peel in the fridge…it’s usually enough to loosen it. Not always, but usually :)
Side opposite of hinges, does the side panel screw on. If so pull that panel, slide front panel out, finish peeling and reverse order reinstall. Maybe 4 minutes start to finish. Safe travels.
oh and, if you want to change the color that would be the time. An unmounted piece of formica or other material, ? galvanized tin? would substitute nicely.
