from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Wowser! That's a shed-load of graft there - and no-one will ever get to see it whenever you pull up in some far-flung camping area, they will never know the hard graft that has been put into your traveller's transport! Great video guys!
Thanks so much Lorna! yes thats the plan-we always think how good those days travelling in a complete van will feel knowing we worked out butts off to do it aha :) thanks again for your support x
Doing a good job, I have to agree with one comment about the water tank I am aware of damage to tanks that low but credit to you doing a good job.
Nice ❤
Amazing job you obviously have a way to go but the quality at the end will be so cool. Stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hi Barry:) yes we hope so too! thanks so much for your support on the videos, love to you and your family in Australia :)
Great progress both. Super work on getting all that done. Bet you’ve both got some guns now! Thanks very much for the shout out too; I really do enjoy our chats on Instagram. Great update.
Thanks Rich 😊 well Toby yes, me not so much-I’ve still got noodles for arms aha x you’re so welcome! We’re always rewatching your videos before we do the next step x so do we!!! Speak soon 😊
Great video. the progress is coming along nicely
Thanks so much!! Yes we’ll get there one day 😊
Nice job guys.
Thanks so much Doug! Glad you enjoyed it x
Subbed!
Yay, thanks so much for your support :) hope you enjoy all of the videos to come x
@@ourroaminghome8943 Looked at all the 4 vids in a row. Compliments for the work and very entertaining! Greetings from the Netherlands.
You haven’t got a lot of clearance on the wastewater tank! With that over hang at the back going up steep ramps or curbs on tight corners might be a problem. I’ve had it happen to my expense!
Cheers Richard. Yeah totally get where you’re coming from, I think it might be the angle we filmed at as we would have to be travelling up a very steep hill to be hitting the tank. We know of varios with tanks 30cm lower which don’t have a problem so we also shouldn’t have a problem. I guess it also help us having a MWB so the tank sits fairly close to the axle compares to he LWB varios. Hope you enjoyed the video 🤞🏼😊
Wow, you got so much work done in one video! How many days did it take you to do all of that?
Also, great tip on heating up the sikaflex. We've been squeezing near-frozen tubes of that stuff in the dead of winter!
Thank you! it's nice to hear you think that because we definitely have some days much more productive than others:) i'd say this video-so installing gas, water and floor was probably 10 days pushing 2 weeks to get all of that in x yes that makes the world of difference doesn't it!! on really cold days we've even been bringing some hot water to rest them in before we use them aha x hope you guys enjoyed the video-thanks for watching :)x A
@@ourroaminghome8943 Oh, leave them in hot water! Even better idea!
That's a super productive two weeks!
