    Vanny DeVito 😂 Brilliant name. Looks as though there’s loads of space for storage there. A double hinged drawer would be cool at the back middle. Look forward to seeing the progress!

      I felt so proud of that name when I first thought of it, then I found out there were so many other accounts with the same name on insta 🥲😂. Thank you! Yeah I can't wait to get stuck in 🛠️

    This makes me want to build a van! So keen to see what you do with ol’ Vanny 😂

      Thank you! I'm working on the van today actually, so I'll hopefully have a new video out either this week or next 😊

      @chrisjwright_ hey man sorry just saw your reply. A Toyota Proace 2017 lwb. If you're ever up in Scotland way give us a shout !

      Oh nice! Really smart looking vans those. Will do! We are hoping to get up that way at some point once it's all back together

    Shouldn't that be Merco Poolo? One thing to remember is Mercs don't like murky water, which I unfortunately found to my great cost! And if you do decide to drive through a flood, do it slowly....or preferably turn around and forget it!

    • @chrisjwright_
      @chrisjwright_  6 місяців тому +1

      Ah no way! Not good 😅 I'll make sure not to travel through any water!

    Remember if you do drawers instead of cupboards. You'll lose quite a bit of storage. Approx width 55mm. Depth 60mm. Height 40mm
    Youll find its quite considerable

      Ah that's a good point, I never thought about it that way. Maybe on the farthest side of the kitchen where there's more space, I'll install a door instead.

    Wow; that’s a great build on the Vito!
    Few tweaks but nothing major ….
    What height is the bed and I’d be interested in a link for the aluminium framing pls…👌🚚👌

    • @chrisjwright_
      @chrisjwright_  9 місяців тому

      Thank you! So off the top of my head I think it was 40cm high, but I'm going to be lowering that in the rebuild. I'm not sure to what height just yet, I think it will be sat just above the wheel arches. Here's a link to the aluminium framing: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/aluminium-profile-uk

    Hey Chris, so with the ecoflow do you need to charge that via solar? Or does your engine charge it?

    • @chrisjwright_
      @chrisjwright_  5 місяців тому

      Has to be recharged by solar, or you can bring it into your house and charge through the mains. I have seen EcoFlow have a new accessory that allows you to charge through a vehicle alternator, but I think it's only available in the US at the moment.

    Im rebuilding same van with a very similar design. Bed size please?

    • @chrisjwright_
      @chrisjwright_  3 місяці тому

      Awesome! So I never actually got around to making the bed in my original build, that's one of the main reasons I went ahead with the rebuild. Hoping to have the bed designed soon 🤞🏻
