When I started my conversion and ripped everything out to start I was so tempted to just insulate and carpet the inside! I can see why you would, so practical 🙌🏻

@@SkankingStripes ah kind words bud 🙌🏻 yes no problems pop a follow and will get them for you 👍 thanks for watching

@@zafiracamper thanks bud, really enjoyed this one and the creative bits too 🤣🤣

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic 😀

@@richardcowtan6848 thanks so much! I have done quite a few update videos! Click on my channel and you can see there are quite a few updates to the van 🤣 I have since updated the entire electrics and some other changes. Take a look!

Ok will do. I had a question about the sound deadening. Presume the car wasn't too bad before.. Did it make a big difference? You must have taken most panels off to do that? Was the car bonnet one anything special because of the heat?

@@richardcowtan6848 yes I took every single panel off 🤣 I suppose it made a slight difference but if I did it again would not bother with all of that. I did the bonnet only because I had some left over and thought why not! I’m not sure it does much to be honest. I guess all together it is slightly quieter as I did the entire floor which also reflects the heat back in. I also where possible put recycled bottle insulation behind the removed panels. The van is always warm and stays that way so must have made a bit of a difference all together.

Good point, but really depends where you are. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

They are literally just into the plastic! Never fallen and work really well. I’m so stoked that I can inspire others it’s amazing and would love to see yours! Are you on insta? Thanks for watching and any other queries always just shout 👍🏻

@@DB07OUR happy travels 👍🏻

I am off to Japan in 2026 and can’t wait! Yes especially seeing all of the JDM vans! I may just stay over there 🤣 I hope you are having a great time 👌

If you haven't already been, Japan is everything you expect and more. Absolutely brilliant. 👍

@@stevenhearnden6103 I am so excited! We will be going to Tokyo Disney too which is rumoured to be the best int he world 🫶🏻

Sounds intriguing!

I used small self tapping screws and tiger sealant / adhesive along the length and in the screws Has held well and doesn’t cause any issues is hidden and works really well Thanks for watching 🫶🏻

The site is lovely, simple natural and as you say in the fresh air. Thanks for watching and for the comment 🫶🏻

Thanks so much! The curtains are just black out black ones from the internet as you say on the pole. I literally used a hole saw drill bit and cut a hole each side in the side plastic and pushed the poles in! They can pull out but are nice and firm I will add a pic or quick vid Thank you for subscribing 🫶🏻

Hiya thanks for watching! My wife had a severe nut allergy needing an epi pen, in the buffet we were told - it’s all at your own risk and couldn’t guarantee. In the restaurant on the other hand they were absolutely amazing and were very careful with all discussed and explained with the supervisor 👍🏻

@@ADoubleGymAndTonicThank you, sounds similar to other cruise line, my wife has same allergy so have to be very careful. Did you tell MSC in advance of the allergy or just sort it out once on board? Thanks again.

@@happyhamlin8219 yes they sent as allergen leaflet in advance in the cabin and we also told them in the booking form too

@@ADoubleGymAndTonicThank you 😊

🤣 that’s hilarious and thanks for watching! I don’t live too far from there either 😎

Hey bud, your set up sounds cool, the only mod on mine is the tray cat has been decored and the rest is standard. As it’s the Autec the rear box I think is slightly different but nothing else it’s almost stock! Quiet when going along and raspy when you floor it 🙌

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic Ah, thanks! Sounds lovely! Similar, mine rasps when I open it up. Rear cats also gutted. It’s difficult buying exhaust mods as you don’t know what they’re going to sound like until you buy and fit 😅 And everyone’s opinion on noise levels is so subjective.

@@SurferEv yeah defo! A mate of mine had a stainless put on all the way with sports cats and one box and it was so loud when going along like a constant drone 🤣

Haha just for you strava.app.link/ZsfZzTcrdKb Hurry up and do it! I was petrified 🤣🤣

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic 😂😂 I think I need a slightly larger pack then that is it, I have everything else (except ear plugs, defo want ear plugs - that way I can’t hear the weird noises 😂)

@@zafiracamper yeah there were a lot of them but I also wanted to hear if my monster was coming so I could prepare to defend myself with my titanium spork 🤣🤣

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic 😂 I have a folding cutlery set 😁

@@zafiracamper 🤣🤣

Noted, thanks for watching though 🫶🏻

Thanks buddy! Strangely I did really enjoy doing the build 🤣

Pahahah that’s brilliant

Thanks bud! Thanks for the comment means a lot 👍

Yes definitely I will get measuring and let you know 🫶🏻

No didn’t want that in as it doesn’t fit the design, did think about it though but the sheer weight of it alone! 🤣

No it’s not wide enough, I sleep diagonally with a pull out extension and it works really well 🙌

Hey bud! I looked at that tent I too! This place is so like really wild camping it’s unreal really lovely location 🫶🏻

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic what’s cool tho, is that I actually bought the 2 by mistake - the advantage now is tho, I have a very spacious solo AND room for couple camping on campsites too 😀 Do nd to do some local research for somewhere secluded that I can lose my wild camp cherry (hmmm think I just thought of the vid title 😂)

@@zafiracamper brilliant! Yeah I have done only a few proper wild wild camps and even as an adult it’s still scary 🤣🤣 yeah great title for the video!

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic you do have a proper awesome set up dude - and that dinner…well, that was my type of dinner 😝

@@zafiracamper thanks 🙏🏻 bud I’m reliving my youth 🤣🤣

Thank you! 🙏🏻 it’s always a real balance to every individual to get the most of out the space and this was my take on it 🙌 Thanks for watching 🫶🏻

Thanks for watching! You will love it, so happy this helped you too. Have a great time and I’m sure the weather for you will be amazing 🤩

Thanks bud, I have been asked this a lot so am going to do a quick video on it 🙌

Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🫶🏻 You have made my day 🙏🏻 Have a great one 🙌

That’s very kind of you to say! Thanks bud 🙌

I have no idea as I lost count thousands ago 🤣 it’s defo not a value build

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic haha well u did an amazing job mate

We love Disney, Florida has the best feel, but is so expensive now! France is a great stop gap before Disney California next year 🙌

It’s a good job you can’t smell it 🤣

@@ADoubleGymAndTonic 😂

It certainly is massive! 🤣

Thanks bud! I hope you are not disappointed with your purchase! Heavy on fuel if you don’t drive carefully but so rewarding Have you done any mods yet?

I’m averaging about 18mpg around the town. I’m quite happy with that! It came with an aftermarket stereo that had the input cables wedged from the side of a panel. I’ve routed the cables into some input sockets to tidy it up. I’ve added a composite input socket for the TV so if needed we can hook a firestick though a hdmi converter. The next job is to install a leisure battery with dual charging. I’m Taking baby step!

@@owenfrancis477 great stuff! It’s so exciting doing the changes I don’t think I ever ever been so happy and satisfied with any vehicle ever!

We don’t think there is! Crazy I know but no 👌

Thank you for replying 😊 Also is it £250 per person as deposit ?

@@user-gp4yw5us9s it’s 250 per room with the bank card or credit card logged to each room

Thanks mate! To inspire others is just amazing 😻

Soooo cute! 🥰

Yes you are allocated a restaurant but you can walk past the huge queues and just get seated immediately 👌 it’s well worth it to be honest. Hope you have a great time! Thanks for the kind comments 🫶🏻

😻

Thank you so much for the comments! She is a beauty and I have done a few more bits since this video too, just can’t stop myself 🤣

It’s not the vehicle for the best MPG 🤣 it’s comparable to a sprinter - I use super unleaded which is a bit more to buy and is the recommended fuel type for this vehicle. A full tank is around £110 and this can give me anywhere from 275 to 400 miles depending on how I drive, the weight carried and what roads I use. Around town the lowest and I have had 420 miles on a sunny day, motorway miles with no load driving like Miss Daisy. I hope this gives you some idea, the range can be quite different!

Hiya I too have a power bank, but find that all of the seamless workings of a fixed system to be so much more useable and straight forward like a house so to speak. Everything just works, charges, hook up simple etc. I completely get the power bank and take one in the big tent when we go family camping. I can see how you could use just that in a van too, but as I said the seamless operation is priceless. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I do have the odd day when I think about selling her to do another one 🤣🤣😳

Thanks for the view bud and yes quite right too! On one of the early videos I did that What in particular did you want to know about? The 200watts flexible solar panel by Renogy they don’t do this particular one any more, they do other types but not this one sadly.

Hey buddy it was a great intro to ultras! Wish I had done a bit more prep to be honest but hey I used semi trail - Nike Pegasus trail but you could easily use a really light road shoe as there are many paths and gravel tracks with only a few muddy sections where you can almost avoid the worst bits If I did it again I would use my softer road shoes - saucony riders or Pegasus 40’s
