    Another great van tour video guys 📹🚐 I love having a nosey around to see how everyone else handles power, lights and storage etc. We all do our vans differently but all with the same goals, being comfortable while we go exploring. 🤓🙃🐾 (nicked off Dave - Me, Mandy & Cooper)

      @Smashy2009 5 років тому +2

      Just keep one thing in mind. If you travel a lot, especially by ferry, or on motorways with toll booths, you will be charged like a truck, not a standard car. I learned that the hard way, my rv is 6.4 m. The magic number is 5.99 mts. If you happen to run into an asshole, they even consider a tow hitch (you can get detachable tow hitches though) or a bike rack to push you over the limit. Example: the trans med ferry from balearics to barcelona costs about 70 euros for a car, if you are over the limit, it is 300.

      @@WonderingWomble hi there. Thanks for replying. I think you've got a great conversion. I like the way you used the extra height to run stuff under the floor. I follow a channel called Houseless not Homeless. He has a Renault Master bus with fiberglass hi top. He has about 3 proper steps to get in the back of his van so he has a false floor with enough space for a canoe, surfboard & more. Mind you he doesn't have the headroom. He's not that tall. Anyway, great van well converted.😁
