    If you take the centre out of the old water filler and put it on John's head, you can use it as a guide for when he has his next hair cut.

    This absolutely cracked us up! Love the banter between you two and Big Red is looking bloody marvelous - what a banger job you guys are doing! How about putting that original filler cap in the center of the spare wheel somehow? Could maybe incorporate it into the rear mount you spoke of. Hopefully we meet someday soon. Cheers, Chris & Ange

Couldn't care less about the dross on tv but I couldn't bear to miss one of your video's. I think it's because of the genuine care and love you put into what you do. Keep 'em coming.

    What about using the water filler as a light fitting on the underside of the canopy shutter, it would also serve then as a sofa reading light when the shutter is closed.
    2nd idea 🙂 Mount it back on the body, thread out the centre and use it as a holder for a screw in support for Jon's shutter table (same sort of thing as the Landy table.
    If only Jon had added that cute little tartan number to that bikini look, I'm sure that the guy who unsubbed would have re-joined us 😜😜

    If you end up having a wooden table inside, you could use the water filler as a center piece/table mount. Cut a hole out in the table to set the filler in, and then attach the table leg to the center of the filler. If that makes sense.

    The roller shutter table idea sounds great. Maybe have a fold out frame from the side of the camper with the roller shutter for an outdoor cooking BBQ area.

    Hey guys, I'm loving this build and excited to see the final result. I just have to say that with your building talents I hope you consider NOT shipping the Sainsbury's van to Canada/USA and doing a new build somewhere in North America. My recommendation would be to build a US model Sprinter, tour North and Central America and then sell the Sprinter in the US and pocket $30-60K USD profit off the build. Then in the following years a South America build... :) I really enjoy your overland builds and travel content. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada.
