You should! It’s absolutely gorgeous in the Lake District. Especially in the Autumn.

Thank you for the lovely comment. No I’m not related as far as I’m aware.

Thank you. We were up in Scotland earlier in the year, and you’re right…you have some absolutely beautiful scenery up there. We will be back 👍🏔️

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the lovely comment. We use a 12.9” iPad Pro in the van. We download a few films before we go away, so it gives us a bit of choice of what to watch when we’re in the back. It suits our needs perfectly, and we can also check our video footage on it as well.

@@awaywiththehills that's great and thanks for getting back to me. We currently do the same with a normal size iPad but it's getting a tad too small for us to watch things at times!! Clearly an age thing! 🙄😅

Thank you ☺️ And thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely comment 🙏

Thank you so much ☺️ Make sure you check out the build Timelapse video as well 👍

Thank you ☺️ We really appreciate the positive feedback.

Thank you for the comment , and thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed explanation. I’ve not heard of that before from Amazon, so thank you…I’m going to look into it. 👍👍

@@awaywiththehills Just google ' How to create an Amazon affiliate link' then create a list of links for every product/tool you have used on your conversion and add that list to the description of every video you've done so far... I could be wrong but so far as I know it pays commission on anything they buy after clicking that link even if it's a different product... Every little helps as they say 😉

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. That was exactly what I was trying to achieve. I didn’t want wires hanging everywhere (hence the wireless chargers), I wanted a clean modern look to the inside, whilst still keeping the van looking like a van from the outside.

Thank you so much Neil! I’m glad you enjoyed the walk around, and explanation of the things I have done.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. We wish you all the best with your stealth build. If the van was a little bigger then I would have loved to have put a door into the bulkhead. Maybe on the next van I convert 😉 Germany… wow! it’s great to know how far away our videos get watched👍

Thank you for your kind positive comment. It was at the end of March (over the Easter weekend).

They were very tasty, and I got Becky to try Stilton cheese for the first time on hers, she loved it. We love the Peak District, and there’s so many beautiful places that we’ve not been to yet.

It’s just the way we roll ☺️🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! 😊 And thank you for taking the time to comment.

It’s an Android 6” head unit that a kind friend gave me, and a Cocar AC18 reverse camera from Amazon.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive and detailed comment. A walkaround video is a great idea to explain things in more detail, and I had planned on doing one on Saturday just gone, however the leisure battery in Mini Hillton had given up (it was used when I installed it last year), so I upgraded to an AGM battery with slightly higher capacity, and I fitted that along with a couple of other jobs that needed doing. So unfortunately I ran out of time. I do plan on getting this filmed in the next couple of weeks though once I can fit it in around other commitments. Hopefully you can find a nice van to convert, just make sure that it's the long wheelbase/high top version like mine, because when I was looking, this was the only way that I could sit up and lay down in it comfortably with it being such a relatively small van. The stealth style has a lot going for it, and we have parked up in many urban locations that I wouldn't like to be cheeky enough to sleep in an obvious camper.

@@awaywiththehills Yeah it is the L2H2 versions I have been looking at specifically, there was one on gumtree already converted for only 1500 quid but they had in my opinion ruined the stealth aspect by adding a square caravan style skylight/vent, and if buying a pre converted one there is no way of telling how well the insulation has been done. I would go for the newer version connect as I much prefer the styling but they don't seem to do a high roof version, I have noticed that a lot of van lifers who start out with a micro van conversion seem to upgrade to a larger van after about a year so I might just invest more and go for a mid size van such as a transit custom or such like, still small enough to be stealthy but slightly more roomy for playing a large guitar inside when raining outside, my ultimate goal would be to do a coastal tour of UK so would need more food storage space when doing the more remote areas such as Scotland. I'm in no rush and can afford to take my time deciding which base van is the best for my needs.

Thank you for the feedback, I can’t wait to use it on our upcoming videos 👍

Thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing how much better it performs in low light compared to our current setup.

I got it from eBay. The listing for the one that I bought has gone now, but there’s the same one still available from different sellers.

Good spot! It’s a truck horn that I put on Mini Hillton 🤭🤣

Thank you ☺️ We try to upload as much as we can. We’ve got a lovely Autumn one planned soon, along with some other great locations.

He was just a kind chap that waited for us ☺️

Thank you Andy, we’re glad you enjoyed it. Who knows where our next adventure will take us.

Thank you for your kind comment Jeff. We paid £12 per adult per night. Not too bad for such a great location 👍

It’s a great site, the scenery is beautiful, and the sand on the dunes is amazing!

Thanks Lee. Have a great time, it’s a beautiful location!

Hahaha…you’re not wrong! Who’s got the power? Allpowers S2000 has got the power! It could even power your DJ gear 👍

It’s great and has got loads of power👍

Apple Music played it as one of my suggested tracks, and we loved it straight away 👍👍 haha

Yes I did, they weren’t the easiest to try and fit. But with some heat from a hot air gun they softened up and fit like a glove.

Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for the kind comment Chris, we’ll definitely be back there again!

Awesome 👍 have you converted yours into a micro camper as well?

Thank you Andy ☺️ Will do!

And it was a really beautiful weekend to enjoy it.

Thank you so much for the kind comment Rachel!!

Hi, I got it from eBay. This was the description: Silent RV Roof Air Vent Fan for Travel Trailer Van Outlet Ventilation System I fitted a resistor to the 2 position switch so it gave me a slow and fast speed. it’s fairly quiet and pulls plenty of air.

@@awaywiththehills Cool, thanks for letting me know. It looks really low profile, which is great for such a small vehicle.

It’s spot on 🚐 👍

i love the greys , my fav colour , im a metal cladder so appreciate those colours

im not hating , but i would need a way to go from the back to the cab qwithout going out side , just for safety , but excellent job , proper impressed

Thank you for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. I was trying to keep a modern minimalist look to it. I saw the Recarco fabric and loved it, I knew it would tie it all together nicely with the greys 👍 It would have given us more room as well if I removed the bulkhead, but I decided to keep it in the end for a couple of reasons. Insulation. And stealth 👍 I insulated the whole inside of it and it’s so warm inside, if I’d have removed the bulkhead a lot of heat would go straight out of the glass and the windows would steam up. And I can have the lights on really bright and not be seen at all…perfect for stealthing 👍

Thank you for the lovely comment Heather ☺️ We love the colours and thought it ties the whole van together, I don’t know if you have anything similar? But I’m sure you would make it lovely and with some nice fabrics that suit you 🫶🏼

It folds away to under the seats and 2 of the boards go behind the passenger seat. I’m going to do a walk around video soon explaining everything in detail, so keep a look out for that 👍

Thank you. During that video they were 235/40 R18 as that's what was on the wheels when I bought them. I've since needed replacement tyres, and I went with the size that originally came on the Focus ST's. These are 225/40 R18 and they were about £15 cheaper each tyre on the Bridgestone one's that I put on.

Hi Kirsty, thank you for taking the time to comment. No, they were just some lighting wires before I finished them off, and also a hair dryer and straighteners that I store in there. I have the battery and electrics next to the fridge in the rear. I'm going to do a walk around video soon , so I'll try to remember to cover it in that.
