    From faded red to Big Red, from welding school to 3D printing. And from Jon’s tools to Jess’s toys 🫨 the 5 months have been a joy to watch. I hope you both get as much joy exploring in Big Red as we all have had watching you.

Big Red looks awesome, both inside and out. The fit and finish, that too for a complete DIY build, looks really good. Absolutely loved the Big Red and hope to see it in action soon. Love from India.

Big Red is unique and yes there may be one or two others out there, however I doubt they will be noticed as much as Big Red. She is a head turner for sure and I'm sure will be a conversation piece where ever in the world you take her. Watching you guys build her has been a privilege and to see your skills grow as the weeks and days passed, was great too. There are you tube builds, and there are you tube builds. Your build has to be the best for quality and skills level. Also for the personality and the fun you guys have on your build journey. Not once since I have found your channel, have I not watched a video all the way through. Other builds I tend to skip parts and may not even finish watching. Your videos are the best out there for van builds. Love you guys and look forward to seeing Big Red in action.

    Hi Jess and Johno, wow what a fantastic video you have this time. Just remember this build is not worth destroying your marriage over it’s hard to get someone that has the same spirit of adventure before dementia. Anyway enough of me telling you what to do , keep up the good work guys, and best of all keep loving each other , Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 I’m on the big island 🏝️

    This has been an epic build. I absolutely mean this, I'm devastated that it's all over. I don't know about you guy's but it's all about the build for me. Once that's done I feel a bit lost. I'd be waiting for something to not work right or need modification but.... this truck is an absolute stroke of genius in every aspect! And will do all and everything as well if not better than any professional built camper.
    I don't think you will ever actually realise how much this channel means to all your subscribers. I'm absolutely made up when I see the thumbnail and then I have to wait till iv got the allotted time to watch uninterrupted. As it happens the wife needed the toilet 10 minutes in to this episode and I was in the bath. Hey, I still watched the video and enjoyed all the same. Hope you don't leave us too long without another build.
    TBT💙

    @Simon_W74 13 днів тому +1

    Yeah! TBT Saturday. By Eck I was bored last week. Just couldn't settle and could even be arsed to go digging me hole for doing the soil pipe I have to move.
    I am with you Jon. If it fire something its then a makeshift gun. Even if it had a Safety gate in place, but we know how to over come them. Framing Nail Guns are the best for distance so far.
    Another trick you can use for fitting door and Drawer fronts is good old Superglue with activator. or just the glue if your not too confident and need a few seconds wiggle room to line it up. Saves having to fill and touch up the paint.
    Well thanks to Jon I now have a 3D printer. I didn't buy it though, my Brother in Law gave it to me. probably to stop me asking him to make stuff. the catch is I have to fix it. The bed was off by 6mm and it is now reasonably level, but it has a bed crash issue. so new parts for the auto levelling are winging their way from China. She is a big bugger too as it is the Creality K1 Max. so no fancy multi coloured printing. That means I will probably still end up saving up for the Bamboo Lab and it's AMS.
    My own Big Red Arrived on Thursday. So I still need to get my new Sea Kayak out on the water. I will not be calling it Big Red though as there is only room for one Big Red in Norfolk and that's Your Big Red, I will probably name it after my old School mate that passed away earlier this year.
    Sadly I will miss your Live next weekend as I am doing my first Parkrun since knackering my knee 4 weeks ago. Not running this time as I am still healing. Were off to do the Hardest Parkrun in the Country at Yarmouth, so just round the coast for us.
    Big Red is looking the Mutts Nuts and you both now get to enjoy your adventures in Big Red where ever you take Her or Him. Brilliant Bit of Kit for the Adventurer!

      Thanks ever so much mate. Sorry to hear you’ve injured yourself but home you have a nice time in Yarmouth! Have a donut for me! No way! What did you get? Have you got rid of your sprinter? Love to see what you’ve got if you get a chance to send a pic on insta. That’s a lovely tribute to name yours after your mate 💙

    FABULOUS it’s an amazing transformation. The superb outcome from the skills you’ve learnt on this project have been a joy to watch. My god you must be so proud of yourselves. 🤩I love the colours it’s the perfect season for those colours too. Look forward to see you travel again soon, I’m sure it’s long overdue after all that work. 🥰#1

    @carlblackie 13 днів тому +1

    Well what a fantastic journey. You both have excelled yourself and built an absolute stunner. The ingenuity and design has been second to none. The skills you have learned a long the way have been great to watch and give a sense to potential van converters that if one person can do it, anyone can do it. I cannot wait to see where Big Red takes you. Thank you for the passion, humour and excitement. A brilliant watch. I would go as far as to say “ A brilliant bit kit for the camper conversion”

    about the safe : i seen some videos about hotel safes where they only need a paperclip to press a reset button in a hole on the face of the safe to open it with a standard code , an electric / solenoid lock and one or two hidden buttons somewhere near it might be more foolproof and harder for the guys with sticky fingers to open
    rrealy enjoted the buildout i think youre goig to have a lot of fun with the rv

    We have the same Ninja air fryer, just be aware that it blows out really hot air out of the rear when you’re cooking. Maybe move it a bit away from the stick on tiles when in use. Loving the finish on the camper. Best one you’ve done yet guys 👌🏽🥰🥰
