      The batmobile sounds like a winner! I do however like the Munro mobile! It's been a great wee project and brilliant fun to drive. We have been away every weekend almost since we got it. Makes things so much easier especially with the remoteness of some of the hills in Scotland. Keep you updated on progress! Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Superb all round video.
    Love the work on the van, nice job👍.
    Can I ask what (if any) issues you came across when putting in the Rock &Roll bed?
    Cheers
    Paul 🇬🇧

    • @PAADVENTURES1
      @PAADVENTURES1  2 роки тому

      Hi Paul and thank you very much! A great wee day out...
      So the rock and roll bed I have is not one of the metal type with fixings through the floor onto brackets. It is simply fixed into the ply subfloor using some screws and L shaped brackets. So that's pretty easy and no real issues. Positioning it centred means there is a gap at each wheel arch but that's no real issue either. I had to lower it so that I can sit comfortably without my head hitting the roof, again just some cutting so near real issues again. All in all very simple to install and very easy to remove if required. For what I use the van for it's been great. I bought some cushions from IKEA which are the exact size of the bed (just luck) and some fitted sheets. I use two extra large pillow cases which I stuff with two pillows and my quilt! Easy peasy. Hope this helps! Paul

      Thank you so much for getting back to me, really appreciated.
      Your reply is so helpful, especially the tip re the height, I also love the method of fixing to the sub floor.
      All so useful.

    Nice wee walk and nice work with the van - I have been looking for a daily driver/simple van sleeper set-up but need 3 seats in the front - did you buy or make the bed?...still researching, good job. 👍👍👍

    • @PAADVENTURES1
      @PAADVENTURES1  2 роки тому +2

      Hi Dave, I wanted something small enough to be kinda inconspicuous but still room enough for two. I did look at a connect with the three seats in the front but it was newer and more expensive. I got this wee van for a song with only 25k miles on the clock. I bought the bed on line then adjusted it to fit. I was going to make one but the cost of timber was on a par with just buying and altering one! Works a treat! Paul

    • @ALochOnTheWildSide
      @ALochOnTheWildSide 2 роки тому +1

      Nice one, looks like a sweet wee van - I had a Peugeot partner combi that was easy to take the back seats out of (4 bolts) and throw a blow up bed in but it had seen better days (the van) so got rid of it, just need the 3 seater as I have the niece/mother etc now and again and rarely have the need for 4 or 5 seats so the back of car is wasted space, just love the versatility of a van. I need a daily driver too as not into running 2 vehicles especially with the price of everything! Just looked at the connect...could be the answer if I can get a good deal...last question (honest) can you take the bed out easy enough if say you needed to transport a washing machine or something? Cheers again, Dave

    • @PAADVENTURES1
      @PAADVENTURES1  2 роки тому +1

      Dave,
      I could have the bed lifted on in less than 5 minutes. I have it attached to some small brackets fixed to the sub floor. I got three bench cushions from ikea and they fit almost perfectly on the three bench sections. 👍👍Paul

    Good to get 2 easy ones ticked off Paul. Van looks great and ideal for the overnights for ones further away! It’s getting more challenging ! What external mic do you use? It’s great audio! I’m having real problems trying to get good audio and a few times it’s not even recorded ! So frustrating !

      Thanks Andrew! Yeah the van should save a lot of long drives and falling asleep half way home!
      I’m just using my iPhone and the rode wireless go with a rode lavalier mic plugged into the wee black box with a wind sock. I tried just using the wireless go itself but kept losing those wee wind socks that clip on!! Not cheap but it’s reasonable quality and should last. So yeah…rode wireless go and rode wireless go lavalier mic. 👍👍

      @@PAADVENTURES1 Cheers Paul, I had a Rode wireless go but lost the mic when it pinged off my rucksack chest strap. I got a cheaper system but no indication its recording like the Rode! I might try a lavalier as i do have one. I know what you mean about the fluffy dead cat, it doesn’t take much for it to fall off! Sometimes its a bloody faff and a pain getting all your gear in order to record when puffing and panting going up a hill. I’m working on 2 vids just now so they will be dropping soon , just need to find time to edit! Cheers, 👍

    • @PAADVENTURES1
