Thanks for the heads up on the vinyl place. I have done this a few times but I wanted something unique and this site you recommended are amazing. Ordered one this morning. Love your cali and looking forward to the new build.
Fantastic looking van, very recognisable but understated 💛🧡💙
I´m excited to see the final result!
Love the subtle but effective mods.
I see your van quite often when driving to and from work!
Well I got my fairy lights installed and they are so easy to install and make such a difference to my camper.
Thank you.
Great to hear that!!! 🙌
You always have the sticker skills 👍🏻😊
The many subtle changes like the mirrors for example, I think can make the big difference. The little details that no-one notices yet seems to enhance the van overall 👍
Thanks so much!
We have Brandrup seat covers. Pricy but very good quality, superb fit. Installing took some time but is relatively easy.
And it looks a lot more cool with limo tints
Ah, Titchfield Haven, Hill Head? Lovely place.
Nice one thanks 😃! Defo ordering a table sticker and carpets. Shame we can’t get the limo tints, it’s illegal in Gibraltar 🇬🇮 and won’t pass the MOT 😞
Cool upgrades🙂
We huffed and puffed for months deciding on what to do with the seats on our coast - they seemed to get stained every time we opened the door on a rainy day, so a week away with two kids in October I was having palpitations..We eventually went with some seat covers from Jackyards - loads of colour choices and personalization and the fabric manages to feel comfortable to sit on and be absolutely bombproof. Very easy to fit but more importantly easy to remove again when they inevitably need a wash. They are proper expensive (mine worked out at £900) and it took me a long long time to justify it, but I'm so glad I did as it just takes all the worry away...well most of it🙂
Thanks we will check them out
I went with Jackyards to.o. They were easy to fit. The only thing is they are not as snug fitting as some others so if you want them to be imperceptible as covers, they may not be right for you. I am really happy with mine though as they are great for the dog and really easy to take out and clean if the need arises.
Be interested in the solar panel upgrade great video
Thank you! Yeah it’ll be interesting!
Check out Ukatex seat covers, I have them in my T6 Cali Coast, they have also a 3 seat Beach version. Very good quality, but it'll take some time also to fit.
Maybe blacked-out B-pillars will be also a nice mod, to finish it off ;o)
Great video thanks. Just wondering how you get around opening the draw under the seat with the isofix leg in the way? And whether you can open the same drawer with the campervan carpets on top of each other ( when the seat is forward)? Thanks!
The draw configuration is different from in the Ocean/Coast. There’s individual pull out trays under each seat so two are still available to us when the leg is down. Hope that helps!
Great video as always.....noticed you still use the rainbow pop top cover... are you still big fans and how has it stood up over time...recently got our Coast and looking for a cover as we sleep "upstairs" but have found it a touch cold.
Yep they’re brilliant. Highly recommended 👍
Hi great video… we have just bought an ocean and want to change the alloys and suspension. Did you have to inform your insurance company of these modifications?
Yes you have to inform them of any modifications
45-minutes to put on Seat Covers for 2+ Seats, that would be a World Record. You could always Cut the Seat Covers open then put them on the Seats with Fabric Tape in 30-mins or less.
Hello , thanks for the great videos. Did the "limo" tints substantially make the interior darker ? Kind regards.
Yes they do but it’s very subjective to what you want
With your limo tints in the rear. What are they like in the dark with the camping lights on inside. Can you see in from the outside?
You can but we just pull the in-built blinds down for privacy at night.
Well done you. Can I ask what is the leg thing for the child's seat? Did it come with your seat or is it an accessory?
It’s just part of the baby seat. Thanks for watching! 😊
The table looks great and you made it look so easy. Where were you parked up by the sea?
That’s Meon Shore. It’s lovely to sit by the sea in the van! Thanks so much!
You did put limo tint on the California Ocean
Out of interest can you recall what level of tint you went for on the windows? Looking to do the same on my California Ocean.
We went for limo tints on this one which was very dark. 95% tint
Great advice again.I watched a video from a guy on u tube yorkshire pop top.He fitted his seat covers.They are amazing.I don't know if he has a video on fitting the covers.
I just can’t face fitting seat covers again after last time I did it 😂🙈
Maybe YPT can do it for me?!? 🤣
@@ABusAndBeyond I'm sure he would he seems very friendly I've watched his videos he seems quite approachable.
How far did you lower the van ?
It’s about 40mm at the minute 👍
Is that meon shore?
Yes 😊
You know that double-yellows apply to BOTH sides of the lines, right?
You know it’s in a car parking space though, right?
looks brilliant thank you , tell the log guy to try branch out a little on his thoughts his comments are a bit wooden and slightly ironic that chocolate log says looks like sh.....
I’m surprised you guys are putting more money into that van when you’re going to unload it once the new, big one is ready. Fun though.
We have no plans to “unload” it when the Crafter is finished. 😊
Should have removed the edge trim on the table and refitted it after cutting the vinyl
What a faff that would be! This was super easy, why make it loads harder? 🤷♀️
@@ABusAndBeyond Taking the edge trim off takes seconds
You’ve probably scratched the surface underneath and as you can see in the video the finish looks terrible
Nope don’t like that sticker cause it will just attract all the insects who can see flowers🤣🤣🤣🤣
At the end of the end of the day. If nobody likes the stickers who cares. It’s you’re van to make it you’re own.
We got our camper last year after wanting one for 4 years and you’re channel has inspired me to do our own thing but at the same time doing things that work instead of wasting money.
Thank you👍🏼
