Hi everyone. Thanks for watching. Leave me a comment and subscribe to join us on this adventure. We have got some big trips planned for the end of the year. I forgot to add this in the video but the reason we chose for an internal tank was because we want the van to be fully winterised. So all pipes etc will be routed internally for some winter trips. Thanks again 🤜❤️🤛
@@abucklife I definitely plan to do so in a few months I’m just waiting to see how things working out with a contract that I’m on but definitely yes bro 😎
No worries buddy. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤜🤛. The suede 4 way stretch is from RC fabrics 👍👍 great product I’m very happy with it and it was easy to use.
Class job mate ❤ quick question how did the carpeting go over the brackets for the bed ? It looks spot on 👌🏻 am actually in the middle of doing a mwb crafter myself for our fishing adventures and I have to say the way you have done your bed is probs the best I’ve seen!!! Just received my ikea frame and brackets just waiting on pods
🤜❤️🤛 thanks mate. So little tip for you which I did once they were all installed but I knocked the brackets flat. There is a little sticky outy bit on them. Knock that flat with a hammer do that before you mount them. Then I quite literally sprayed glue all over the panel applied my suede and very carefully cut slits where the bed rails meet the brackets and pushed them through. I take them in and out all the time and so far they seem like it’s not fraying. Also I think it helps to reduce rattle as others have complained about the Ikea hack rattling but ours doesn’t. Let me know how you go.
@@abucklife thanks 🙏 really appreciate that matey , my pods have just came for van so hopefully fit them this weekend along with the bed frame/plywood, did you make the width of plywood /bed 1200 or was it a different size , I was thinking roughly same size as a rock roll bed
That looks dead smart top job Matt! What made you go for the internal tank vs underslung? Asking as I think I just got sign off from the boss for the bigger van upgrade! How much for you to come and build it for me?! 😂 loving the videos mate, hope Ginny and the bump are doing well!
I meant to put this in the video but forgot to mention it. We have gone internal because we want the van fully winterised for ski trips to the alps and our artic adventure at the end of the year. Awesome news on the sign off from the boss. The main stake holder 😂😂 You can’t put a price on it 😂😂😂 they are harder than you think. Thanks for you support buddy are you going for a crafter?. Keep me posted on the van purchase. 🤜🤛
@@abucklife ahhh ok makes sense! Yep planning on going for a LWB Crafter too…although not sure I’ve got the skills to do it myself! Need to start putting a budget together so I’m keeping a keen eye on your money pit board! 💸💸💸
