    Hi John, Mandy, Coop. The van's come a long way and now it's your new home. I like Coop's den, I'm sure i could fit in there somehow! But...you've left something out John, and it's a big one. You've plugged the coffee machine into 13A, but you haven't plumbed Mandy into the coffee machine !!!! That's your next project John, so get the finger out. Super job on improving the van, it's a good'un. PS...I like Mandy's back doors too. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe guys and keep up the good work. 👍🐕🖖😎

    In the middle of my conversion so managed to get lots of ideas from you.... I particularly liked "Mandy's back doors". (You're a funny man 🤣)
    My van isn't as high (Ford Transit Custom LWB with high roof) but I will also have my bed in a similar position so I loved Mandy's ideas with the weighted fabric to cover things when "Mandy's back doors are open" (You started it!).
    Anyway great video, made me laugh and also got lots of ideas, so thanks for posting! 😁

    Looking good. Once the house has sold sold you no doubt have plans to travel. I will be interested to see where you go for the winter.
    Full marks on the electrics. You know your stuff and it is integrated well. Yes fairy lights are very important.
    Not enough dog coverage. Dogs are important parts of Van Life blogging. They can also help keep/get fit with lots of long walks.
    Plenty of woodwork videos on RUclips to help you reach expert level.
    I must check to see how you routed the reversing camera wiring assuming that's in a previous video. I appear to have power provided up at the stop light but not the video cable.
    I discovered that the Hymer badge on the van's grill was just fitted over the Fiat badge without affecting it so I now have a nice Fiat badge instead of the Hymer one. Still have a few badges but many less than when new.

    • @johnmandy
      @johnmandy  5 лет назад +1

      I have a Fiat badge to fit in place of the autofail badge, just not got round to that yet. The reversing camera for the Garmin is wireless but the one for the rear view mirror came with the van. We do film some cooper bits, but it's just us not knowing how much to include of him and if people like that. We're still learning 👍🏻

    Hi Jon, I have a similar vehicle and have added a second sliding table connecting rail - low down on the panel behind the sliding door ( where you have your stickers). This enables you to use your table outside in fine weather. I also use mine to cook on - with a gas camping BBQ and hot plate. Great for fish etc and keeping food smells out of the van. You can get them on eBay for £20.

    Nice van. Did you build it all yourself or buy it done then made changes. Have you considered a SOG unit for the toilet.
    It vent the loo directly and drawers air from the cassette. Reduces odours and no need for chemicals. So can empty cassette in normal sewer type place, like home loo etc. Interested in the wifi you have, I'll check your other video's to see if you have more detail. 👍

    • @johnmandy
      @johnmandy  5 лет назад

    Great video and nice to see the van finished. Maybe a stupid question, but why do yo need an extra toilet cassette? Love watching your vids, keep 'em coming.

      We love wild camping, sometimes going places you don’t see a place to empty the loo for long periods, so the extra cassette gives us the chance to enjoy more wild camping.

    Hi you have same engine and comfomatic as me I’ve put a tuning box on mine a few months ago and I’m getting between 3-4 miles to the gallon more on the motorway and it’s wasn’t bad before but it pulls better up the hill

      Sounds good, we get an average of 33mpg and 40mpg on the motorway. Might look into getting it chipped once it’s out of warranty.

    Hi Mandy,
    I'm wanting to make the roll up bulkhead curtain for my van. Can I just ask... is it a special type of thermal material you used or just a thick blackout material?
    I like the idea of the weights in the bottom too. Our conversation is almost identical to yours.

      We just bought 2 x 6ft wide by 6ft drop the email blackout curtains off eBay 👍🏼

    Thanks for the tour, love your fabric handywork with the accessory pouches on the cupboards Mandy. You mentioned about the 25l gas tank lasting a couple of days in the winter, I was just curious what kind of usage that would be ie. heating and water on constant or just a few hours a day? I'm curious as I pick my new van up in a couple of weeks and it has the same tank. Thanks :-)

      In the really cold winter trips we used the heating 50% each day and set to about 20oC and the hot water went on boost once a day, we then have the fridge set to around 5oC and also we use the gas for cooking on the hob and oven too. This year we have the new Instant Pot to try and cut down a little on the gas usage, though we need to see how that turns out once we get into winters dark days.

      @@johnmandy Thank you, sounds like I should be able to get a long weekend off grid use without trying too hard which is really good to know 🙂

    I know have a Fiat Eddis Evolution that is very similar to your old van.
    Did you ever take your van to Europe and have an issue at customs with turning off the gas?
