We are Adam & Lauren, we live full time on our 59ft Narrowboat with our dog, Shanti. We traveled the world for 6 years using hitchhiking, wild camping & volunteering, and then returned to our home country of England to continuously cruise the waterways of the UK. We hope you enjoy joining us for the journey!
Fitting a MPK L Skylight into the van.
Hello there, Lauren here...
It has been a while but we(I) am back with a van to camper fit-out episode. Since our lives have become extraordinarily busy recently, Adam and I have decided that I will continue with the camper conversion youtube video edits. so here It is, my first ever filming and editing.
In this video, you will see how I single-handedly fitted this MPK L Vision Star Skylight into the roof of our Pergeot Boxer Van. There of course were some challenges along the way and although I think I did a very good job, this isn't a 'how to' video but I hope that it can help some of you folk out who will be giving it a go themselves.
Here is a link to the skylight I bought.

When I grow up I’ll buy one like that.
She may be hoping for a sudden stop!
A lot less than most mortgages. More fun as well
Thank you for video and information
Gorgeous, funny and talented! She’s the dream my friend! My husband is just like that and I know I’m just as lucky! ❤
You missed some interesting part - installing the inner frame. It is absolutely impossible to do it alone :)
What is the ethos of Uniqlo you like so much? On the face of the brand does not fit what I perceived your values to be.
I need her instagram!
Do you move the boat? I ask because you have so many things that could fall and break. Love your floating oasis!
I’m so enjoying your vlog. Catching up on all
I love that bathroom sink
If people think youve had it easy , it just means you are doing well. Keep it up 👍
When the canal floods like that, how do you keep the boat from moving over the towpath and getting stuck ? Or is that not a problem ? Recently got a 55 ft and this looks quite scary 😮
It's a bit narrow
Heya guys, met you with Chris in the tent next door at a music festival a few years ago. Glad your boat's looking fantastic and you're having a great time. If you could grow only one species of plant on there what would it be? 🌵 🪴
Hi Guys, I m wondering why us you're fans are not hearing anything from you on RUclips? Miss you both xx
I have visited it, it is wonderful!
Well done guys. ❤ Where did you store the items that were in the Bow?
I live alone, in a 3 bedroom house, no mortgage. My house is in great condition, I do any general maintenance myself. Solar panels, efficient boiler, my house costs £243/month Gas/elec £50.00 Water £14.50 Council tax £139.0 Insurance £15.00 Wifi £15.00 Miscellaneous £10.00 Total £243 per month. Call it £250/month. I don't watch TV so no TV TAX.
What happen to the used water
Yes, where do I sign? This is definitely me. 😍
That map was a real eye opener the extent of the canal network in the UK is amazing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful voice ❤❤ lovely vid guys.
Bang on! Same same! 😉
😲👏💕 wow.. 💥
What better place to live in a flood?
Cinn.sugar.butter.water.brownsugar.boil. yams!. Also can use maple syrup or any flavor
Good on you guys, the life/security/happiness ratio is so important to a positive relationship with mental health. So cool you had a thought so appealing that you turned it into your reality for better &worse and you make it work cause yas love it & yas killin it btw 🤙🇦🇺
Sounds like wander lust to me chap 🙂 nothing at all wrong with that it’s your way of life. I’ve always been the same way. A rolling barge gathers no weed. What am I saying lol. No serious it’s all about the journey ❤. Chirk and north Whales is so iddilic fills the soul 😊 Thanks guys be Grand.
🏞️🏞️🏞️🌚
How far do you have to move?
😊 Iam paying almost 900' rent per month. Your lifestyle ' is beautiful and cheaper ' .....As I see it the only huge cost is buying the boat ❤....I love the freedom
Been watching your video shorts for a while now ... Thought I'd come and check out your channel. very impressed with the tour and love what you're doing. If anyone ever brings up MACRAME ....I'll know what they are talking about now ... Cheers 😉
I am loving this idea but what about a car for work. Obviously I could try and find a job so I can work online. the only logical thing is you move the boat then go back and get the car and move it closer to the boat 🤔.
Costs me £766 without the mortgage or food to live in a house in Manchester . I’m buying a boat next year thanks for sharing .
😂😂❤❤
Oh you GUYZ 😮
Is that Bengal spiced tea? Love that stuff
😂What the f-
Is it just me or was that a dog bowl (not hating) my grandad lives on a boat and I'm going to see his and live in the boad for a month
Salam kenal dari Indonesia ❤
What happens when you wanna stay in that spot longer than 2 weeks?
You have so inspired me because my bow is the storage area so watch this space!!. Linda🥰
Did you screw it in? We have lost the fixing brackets and screws so are wondering if it is possible to do without?
OK, so I live in the California desert, but I like to look at narrowboat life. Your video is so fresh and enthusiastic, and I love your style. Also, I love your boat. I could live there quite easily. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Proper job
Amazing!!!💝
Is it a requirement to have it painted black or is it optional? Does the paint have some sort of protective layer thinggy?
The water probably isn’t anything to do with the engine. It’s more likely to be the drains in the hatch cover either blocked or dirty. Check that first. Are you greasing the stern gland every few hours of running.
