😝 turns out he goaded me into that one!

@@DIYAdventureNZ 😂😂😂

He might need a battery powered soldering iron so he doesn’t have to wait for the electricity. But not sure it will help with operator error.

@@DIYAdventureNZ 😂😂😂 game changer that one 😉

Thanks!

Can't wait to use it!

Yes it’s definitely coming to life! And is looking just like we hoped. But didn’t think would actually happen!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! 🤩

I think that’s a pre requisite for staying married too haha 😜

Thanks! We try to have our funny undies on sometimes.

Thanks! It’s a bit slower progress than we would like. But getting there.

It’s pretty easy to install, the hardest part was the 240v but the sparky got his head around it in the end and had done a great job

Sorry no part two! Should update the title! No problems with the windows they are going strong

@@DIYAdventureNZ No worries! In the description says "Look out for Part 2 of Cutting Holes, drama ensues!" but I couldn't find it lol. Thank you for your prompt response! Glad to know that they are going strong! Well done!

We aren’t sure unfortunately as New Zealand runs lower amperage as we have higher volts. Sounds like a great question for EcoFlow though.

Thanks John! Cost about $17k for the chassis and tanks

Hi Paul! Thanks for watching and commenting. We really appreciate it!

Maybe a detailed list of products used ?!

What measurements are you after? I’ll get them for you. We are hoping to have a plumbing video up next.

What was the tare weight of the trailer ?

The spray worked well. But we would roll the underside of the chassis

It’s 800kg

Got them from Para rubber. They are called a bunk mattress interestingly 750x1900 long

Are you in NZ? Or Aus? We had a Jayco with a ply floor. But it just wasn’t well enough insulated on the floor for us. We looked at trying to insulate under it but couldn’t work out a good way that would work for insulation and also not let water in when driving etc.

Thanks Darren! Oh that great news! We put raptor on our drawbar last week too. It looks epic!

We used 4L to do the whole thing. It was about 3L on the first coat. Then about 1L on the second

Hi! Its called Sketchup. It has been amazing and really the reason the whole build has been possible.

Thanks so much! It’s our first kitchen, we are pretty happy with it

All installed on the chassis was about $26kNZD

Thanks for watching! Shooting for a ATM of 2,500kgs

@@DIYAdventureNZ So good can't wait to see it fully finished! thanks for sharing your journey.

Thanks guys!

Yep we will be doing a video on it in the next few weeks

Not sure how well they go as safety boots, hot metal got through the holes last week! You must dance when you weld in them!

@@DIYAdventureNZ 😂😂😂😂 looking great anyway guys 👌

Good question! We have a little trick up our sleeves. Planning on putting electromagnets on the backs of the draws and doors. Video coming soon.

@@DIYAdventureNZ sounds a plan😊👍

Thanks, we realy like the look too! I just used a multipurpose blade on the tracksaw, it cuts easily

Wait till the whole chassis is done. Will look 👌🏼🤩

Sandy sandy and Amanda with a Sander can swap notes 😝

Thankfully I love flat packs 🧩. Luke buys them and I put them together 😂

Following TTT very closely for tips! A nice bit of kit for the workshop

@@DIYAdventureNZ 😂😂😂😂💙

Thanks! 🤩

We hope so ❤️

Thanks! Hopefully it’s a good one. The shower is the compromise for sure. But might have to put in a roof hatch for Luke 😝

@@DIYAdventureNZ yea hopefully it works well, oh thats an idea

Thanks! We are so happy with the result

Thank you! Cheers!

The debate will rage on no doubt, like I said in the video ill just follow the rules in what ever country we are towing in and hopefully never have to worry about what happens! The weight saving was going to be about 30% but it was going to cost about 50% more so we went with the conventional steel

Thank you! The Shell weighs in at about 480kg so super light. It will be interesting when we weigh it when finished, Im hoping for 2500kg but we can go up to 3500kg

Hahaha yep, pretty much!

Thank you 🙌

It sooo was. I cut out most of my rant but they actually took about 45 mins to roll up the vinyl. And they cut 10m instead of 6m. Then closed the trade entry and made me reverse in. It was crazy. 😂

@@DIYAdventureNZ 😲 I'd be sending a complaint to head office! How rude!

Haha I like the name!

We want to for sure.

Yep. We get the theory both ways. But it’s the law here in NZ and the chains get taken off by the people who check for vehicle fitness if they are on.

Great question! The chassis design is very generic with where the wheels and drawbar is situated so there are some loose design rules to follow when it comes to weight distribution. The heavy stuff needs to be down low and over the wheels and lighter stuff up higher. Our upcoming electrical and plumbing episodes will cover this in more detail

That’s the million dollar question! Luke said the Van conversion we did would take 12 weeks. It took 18 months!! So maybe if we say 18 months, it might be 12 weeks??? 😝

Happy to help 😝 our van build we made so many mistakes. But we did learn from them. The first one is making sure we have a good plan to start from. Sketchup has changed our lives.
