  • Introducing my new (van) home… Stream!
    She’s a SWB Renault Trafic and is going to be a major upgrade on space after living in my Berlingo for 14 months!
    For all the people wondering about my socials and UA-cam changing name, do not fear - Stream’s full name is Silva Stream (see what I did there?!), so nothing is going to change.
    In this first instalment of my van build series I remove the bulkhead and rear seats and spend time dismantling things from Silva.

    Love the new van and the name!! really exciting but no doubt a bit daunting getting her kitted out. It will be worth it once it is done. I think you made good progress stripping everything back. Hope things go smoothly with the rest of the build and you are back out on the road enjoying nature again soon.

      Thanks Lynne 💕 I tried looking for them in my old orders as think I got them on eBay but couldn't find it 😂 they were fiddly to get in but totally worth it 👍🏻

    Spacious and cute windows at the back. It would be nice if I could rent a van like this in the near future.

    I am sure the time will fly when building your new home out. It is intimidating but lots of planning and you will get there. Looking forward to more videos but please take your time.

    Wow massive wide space bit not as wide as the smile on your face, fantastic Kiki. Taking your van apart is daunting but it's like tidying up, you've got to take it all out to sort it out.. Then you can see your space. I write lists in a little book that seems to help my "head storage space" I've got safely written down and can then forget it😊. A mixture of excitement and exhaustion make mother nature tell you it's nap time😂. Enjoy every moment and remember we're with you every step of the way 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Yeah it's definitely been daunting but getting better as it comes together! Thanks so much for following along - I like your little book idea, I do the same on my phone but not sure it's as good that way ☺️

    Ive just come across your video did you manage to sell the bulkhead & rear seats ???

      Hi Nigel, yeah I did! Which was a relief because the only dry place I had to store the seats was in the van and I couldn't really start work on anything with them in there 🤣
