if your finding things tough with all going on in the world. maybe leave this video for another time.
Just came across you last week, wish I'd found ya sooner, see from the comments your doing OK now, hope that's still the case and the campers on the mend too, your videos are great if you're ever feeling up to getting back into it 👌
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. Getting back to things soon hopefully. I'm better but camper needs tlc or maybe a miracle.
Just found your channel, and I was so happy watching the other videos when I saw this one. 😢
By the comments, I can see that you are getting through everything, and I hope you'll be back soon.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health
Hi mate, I really hope you recover and get well soon. You’ve been a great help to me with your ideas which I’ve taken on board, thank you.
Best wishes to you
Jamie, you will be in our thoughts and prayers! Keep us posted as we do care.
Doc
Good luck man. Get well soon.
Thanks very much. Really appreciate the message. Actually means a lot.
Sorry to hear that hopefully you'll be back on the van build soon and well! Stay strong and positive.
Thanks Mr p
Very sorry to hear that mate. All the best to you and the family. Hopefully, you're back planning the next phase in no time.🤞
Thanks Tom
Just seeing this video after watching some of your other videos… really enjoyed watching you. Hope you pulled through and are doing well. Would be great to see some more videos of you and the van. Cheers 🍻
Doing really good, thanks so much for the comments and for watching. Jamie
Just saw your videos mate, really helped me, hope your ok buddy, you have helped many people, top job.
Doing well. Got all clear from hospital this week. Thanks for the kind words. Jamie
Bloody hell fire. Good luck, mate.
Thanks man!!!!!
Just came across your channel today, looking for tips on making a van. Really enjoyed your vids, straight and easy to follow. Sad to see this one though, really hope everything has worked out and you are on the mend 👍🏻
All good thanks. If I can be any help. Just ask away
Similar sentiments as everyone here, Gerry. Hope you're doing heaps better and have a few videos in the pipeline. Would be great to see a van tour; great to see more fellow Irish with an intuitive, practical, approach to things (while not just throwing shite together and hoping for the best). All the best, J.
Hey, thanks for the MSG, it's Jamie not gerry but who cares. I'm desperately trying to get an engine for it. Long story but I'm hoping to have one. Spent a fortune on cowboys and still no oil pressure.
@@campervancreations7656 Belated reply (lacking keyboard warrior prowess.. also fitting the Hopvals today).
But yea. Too many cowboys out there taking the piss tbh, especially around Dublin.. I've been waiting weeks for a trustworthy greasemonkey friend of friend to pop over to give my Relay a quick once over; can't trust most places.
I follow Gerry. Just found you channel. All the best for your ongoing recovery from Galway 🙏
Thanks so very much. Everything is going really well. I'm all clear at the minute. With I could say the same about the camper. Need new engine. Thanks from wexford and happy Christmas
Bless up !….. good vibes coming your way !!!!
Great videos just subbed,sorry to hear this news i hope you are doing well and on the mend 🙏
Hi there. Thanks for commenting. I'm doing well. Jamie
Just seen this video after watching some of your other contents. Then i see it was a year ago. I really hope the operation was a success and you recovered well. ✌️
Hey, thanks for the comment. Everything went well and I'm 2 years clear in 2 weeks
Mate, What’s the score how are you getting on? Thoughts and prayers
Hey, thanks for the message, things are going good. Getting radiotherapy every day for 6 weeks but halfway through. Chemo is the same and thank god, its not too severe. Really lucky, in good form and hope to restart the van build into next few weeks. Jamie

Damn. Well, I'm wishing you the very best! ✌
Get well soon jamie
Hope things going well for you Mr Super Campervan Man x
Subbed a few months ago - just before you posted this - hooe you are on rhe mend buddy 👍
Hi, firstly, thanks forbthe sub. Secondly, thanks for the message and thirdly, I'm doing really good so far. Op was very successful and have finished a couple of treatment cycles and they all went well. Jamie.
Hi. Just bumped into your stuff this morning, watched a few, commented, then saw this one. I'm a similar age and copped a similarly life changing medical thing a while ago (Mantle Cell Lymphoma). It all happens really quick doesn't it and unlike most things, you don't get much time to ponder what to do. You can't get your head around all the options anyway and it's not DIY-able (bugger it).
Mine has gone OK so far, but have spent a lot of my 50's having various treatments. Last round finished in time for the lift of the Covid travel ban we had. You've had Covid finish (almost) and now have to deal with this. Bad timing, sod it.
The biggest thing is how much time is left and how to use it? I might have a couple of years, or I might have 40. Do I spend all my money now, or still eke it out (no kids to leave it to)?
So I pretty much retired, bought a Hymer in the UK (I live in Tasmania). I come over every year and potter about France in summer (I'd move there if only I could speak French). Now I found another Hymer back here too (these are both old, so not fancy or expensive).
So, I'll reply more later as its early but sell everything, move to France and learn to speak French(or dont) many brita get by but its easier if you can. This is your second chance opportunity. Mine will probably come back and eventually kill me but I've beat the 5% survival odd by a year so far and all clear so I'm changing stuff. I've no kids but she does. Not that bothered about leaving them anything anyway 😕. I'm treatment free and doing good. Go on, I dare ya.!!
@@campervancreations7656 I have thought about it, particularly as (cue the country music) the cat I had for 18 years died last time I was over there so I'm free to do so, but I reckon what I do now is a good option as I have virtually endless summer with very mild 'winters' between.
I'm in the same boat - complete remission, but last time that lasted 18 months, so can't count my chickens. It's always there - any little niggle you think 'is this it back?'
It's like the 'is the glass half empty, or half full' thing except the glass is an hourglass. Kind of swing between 'do what you want, what the hell' and being hesitant to do anything, so preparing for the worst. Like medically induced bipolar. :-)
@wfdTamar so it sounds like you have the best of both worlds. My camper has been off the road for 2 years with engine problems. Have had it at numerous 'mechanics' and comes back worse. Its 2015. Considering buying a cheap van. Good engine and gearbox but body is a mess. Has had windows put in both side and need a bit of work. But it drives. Might be something to get around ireland in till the main van gets sorted. I'm self employed so the work situation has been dire but the van is 2011 and only €900.
@@campervancreations7656 Wouldn't be just adding more trouble buying another? Like I can talk - I have so many vehicles.
Ah mechanics, they're a joy aren't they? Luckily I DIY almost all that. However that can be a curse as you can't bare to have anyone do anything you could DIY. If ever you do get someone to do something you have some idea about it, but they just think 'what would you know!' Then when they stuff up, they can never admit they did, or that you might been right all along.
@wfdTamar ahhh, I know but..... I absolutely hate paying for something I can do myself but this engine has been trouble. Been rebuilt, new turbo, new injectors, dpf mapped out, still won't fo above 2000rpm but with no fault codes. Also getting a low oil pressure warning. Really frustrating but gonna try a few things over the next week. The weather here is crap. Rained every day bar one for the whole October
September wasn't much better. November seems OK so far but cold short days. Have posted any of your adventures on UA-cam?
Hey! I hope you're doing well! I wish you the very best
Hi Mark, doing good. Nearly finished first round of treatment. As soon as its done, end of Feb, hope to get stuck back into the build. We'll as best I can. Thanks for the msg. Jamie
Dear God I pray you will recover quickly xxx
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. Every day is a bit better. Jamie

Guys, thanks for the message. And kind words. Hopefully the next few videos will be a lot more positive. Everything is going very well health wise so far. Thanks again for the positive msg. J&k
@@campervancreations7656 I’m really glad to hear that xx x
Get well soon lad, 🍻🍻🍻🍻
When they get it out, you will be SuperCampervan.
It's out, 3 hr op. Got almost 💯 of it. Starting radiotherapy and hemo nex4 week for 6 weeks. I like the sound of that. Super campervan. Jamie
Very best of luck to you
So sorry mate, How are you now
I understand you were struggling to find new content mate but c'mon, you didn't have to go to these extremes!
I do hope you're recovering well ... my van conversion has stalled and I need my advisor back!
Mike, van is back after engine rebuild. We're back at the conversion so please feel free to ask as many questions. No guarantees on useful responses. 👍🏻 . Jamie
@@campervancreations7656 Well I'm glad you've made a recovery. You and the van in fact. And I do have a question for you as it happens. What gauge cable do I need to run from the leisure battery to the bus bars? When I search online all I get is tables showing what amperage this thing is and how many amp hours that thing is. But surely there's a "This will do for most things" answer? For reference, it's a 12v (obviously) 230Ah AGM battery, entirely charged by solar panels. Connected devices are fairly light. Everything is 12v, no converting going on. A small fridge, shower, water pump, spotlights, USB charge points, the odd extractor fan. You get the picture. The solar panel kit came with 6mm, which seems a bit light to my naive eyes. So, what would be a sensible gauge that wouldn't overheat but wouldn't overly obstruct the current?
I use 35mm². It's pretty heavy guage and I protect it with 60amp fuse. Plenty of current capacity without risk of overheating. Length of cable also plays a part. Fuse size is obviously based on max current draw. Jamie
@@mikenicol1593 12voltplanet have a good guide. There's no avoiding tables as it depends on distance and Amps. 6mm2 is generally used for solar.
Hello! I hope you're doing well!
Mark, thanks so much for the follow-up comment. It's two years ago last week. My health is good. At the minute, no further reoccurring problems so all clear. It turned out to be cancer so a rough year but doing really well. Thanks again. Jamie
@@campervancreations7656 that is great!!! Happy holidays!
It's been a few months since we chatted...I hope all is well
Mark, thanks for the message, things are getting better every week. But it's taking longer than I hoped to get back to normal. Hope everything is good with you. Thanks again jamie
@@campervancreations7656 that's great news!! Everything is going well here. I wish you the best!
Please know, YOU matter and are in so many hearts and prayers...lifting you to GOD. YOU-we declare - healthy, healed, whole - nothing missing, nothing lacking ...knowing your identity in and through HIM in Jesus Name. YOU matter and are cared about and Loved by so many. God has placed you on our hearts with HIS Love for HE (God) loves you so and again, wants you to know without a doubt you matter no matter what you feel. Faith rests in trusting HIM and HIS goodness no matter what we feel or go through. I pray, in Jesus Name, faith to arise and strength, health and wholeness manifest for God's glory! You will live and not die and walk out what HE has predestined for you. You are needed for the Kingdom work in Jesus Name. Please read these scriptures to reveal what you have been seeking: Jeremiah 29:11; 3 John 2; Psalm 23; Psalm 118:17; HE has heard your questions. They can be answered in these scriptures ..yes, i know there are many questions u seek and need answers...continue to read in 1 Peter through 2 Peter. (Whole chapters...not long..great insight and peace will come. Allow HIM as the Author and Finisher of your faith to give you revelation, not knowledge. Revelation transforms whereas knowledge puffs up. Do not let enemy speak or give room only receive and submit to The Lord and say/believe what is written. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. When your own mouth speaks HIS Word, your spirit man receives as seed and allows these to grow you up into all truths as your mind is renewed. By the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony not loving our life...no longer I that lives but Christ Jesus...do we overcome. You are not alone...meaning many fighting with you, standing the gap when strength seems gone..rest in HIM not your strength brother. The Joy of the LORD is your strength...joy is an assurance of what HE says is true which keeps you unshakeable...not a feeling but a determined positional stance in HIS WORD being true, final authority and all that matters. But, you have to believe the WORD and realize at our worst, HE came and died when we deserved nothing! But Love came to destroy the works of the enemy and Redeemed you and brought you back into right standing with Father God and into a NEW Kingdom. The old is gone behold...a New Thing HE HAS DONE. Jesus' righteousness is where faith rests, always because of Jesus only. God bless you and yours, receive and allow the Holy Spirit to quicken your spirit in Jesus Name. AMEN.
Miss you buddy.
Everything still good. Van build is paused but hopefully getting back to it soon. Thanks for the msg. Jamie
