Good show Mel, Jim's van is super 👊 The Microwave Combi uses 1100W for the Microwave and 1550W for the Convection Oven on max settings for anyone that's curious 👍
I am learning so many ideas from you all there for when I get round to getting my own van. You are all going to cost me a fortune!! 🤣 But it's going to be awesome
I may have missed it in which case I'm sorry, and it's not really even relevant, but who owns the 'Barn' or is it a community owned space? The amount of times I've see it in videos I've never really thought about it's origins, but it's such a cool thing to have access to. Jims build is looking good, obviously a lot of thought and care gone into it. The oven looks great.
At 5:22, although he said 'temporary', using a towel or toweling for curtains is great as permanent, as this is the perfect fabric for soaking up the window condensation, and towels come in a big variety of nice patterns to look at too.
I like the metal extrusions. I've seen racing rigs and my 3d printer made from them so I know how rigid they can be, but never seen them cheap enough to buy in quantity.
Impressive built! I have the same fridge, excellent choice! The mécano style building structure is very interesting. Good work Jim! Thanks for sharing Mel
Hi Mel young lads van is really good fair play to him well done just info only not correcting you but the word transverse isn't correct it's a traverse bed I only know cos I had them in my caravans over the years I know your like me I make my own words up to haha if it sounds right it's OK haha love the barn anyway happy travels
When you going back out on the road. Save the barn build videos for the Winter months. Your missing the summer. More metal detecting and travel videos 🙏

@@jimmy_jivefunk Hi Mel the place is looking well. Great little video on Jim’s van. I have the same van, could you give me a little more detail about your roof rack layout and setup. You mentioned you hope to get 710w Solar along the sides. I’d love to copy your roof layout of two Maxxfans and deck. Cheers mate.
Hi Mel, I hope you can help. I want to live full time in a motorhome but I'm having trouble finding an insurance company. Do you know of a company that caters for full timers. They either want me to keep my car or keep living in my rented flat. How do others do it? Thanks Gordon.
Waffle on a wensday .hi Mel, I've been enjoying watching your blogs and giving me loads of ideas and information on my sprinter project, but can you give me the info on the skylight on your mates van (sprinter.....with the yacht hatch) . Ps is your engine light still coming on? .....as you ve not mentioned it for a while......regards matt
Has anyone here ever had a problem with their ecoflow river not changing from solar,got power coming in from ecoflow solar panel (tested with a multimeter) but when plugged it it won’t charge the actual unit,pulling me hair out with it

Great point!
I really like the use of aluminium and lightweight ply
Me too
Thanks Jim for that, great review of your lovely van. Love the idea of the aluminium framework !!

Hi Mel and becky ❤🏴
just as an FYI, if you use the oven in combi mode with the microwave/oven/grill it will drawn 3600w... not the most van friendly appliance.
thanks for the tip mate. jim❤
At 1550 watts for the convection oven alone drawing 6.5 amps @ 240v. Hope your on a hook-up most of the time.
@griffdog7969 nope, but got 460 ah battery, 720W of solar and will have two dc-dc chargers. ill be fine :)
