Living in a Luton Van Conversion in Winter...Is this what we expected? ❄ | VLOG 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Our luton van conversion has served us well so far during the winter, as we travel across Europe. We've never travelled or explored Europe in the winter - meaning diesel heaters, warm coats and scarves are an essential. Although we are trying to chase the sun and will hopefully end up in Southern Italy.
This vlog we explore the East of France, and make our way over the Alps towards the Italian border.

Luton all the way!!
Luton by a wisker ...
Luton. It's a gem 👍
Team Luton I think is the best build I love to be living in that build
It’s really sweet to live in so far. Definitely chuffed with the layout Nicks went for!
The Luton is amazing & interesting to have kitchen at the back & the views 🏞️
100%, so glad we did it different to a lot of the other Luton conversions we’d seen!
Team Luton! That van is amazing, perfect for a long break travelling!
You need to get rid of the socks and sliders though…crocs for the win 😂
Thanks Lee, Nicky’s smashed it, it feels like a home away from home! I just can’t let the sock slider combo go! 👀
The Luton van came out better than I expected, good job.
Appreciate that Wendy! We knew it was going to be one of those that came together at the end! 😅
Yass guys ❤❤ new camera is looking insane! Very weird to see our week from another perspective, looking forward to seeing more 😄 love you guys 🥰🥰
Thanks so much guys, definitely a naughty bit of kit! So weird watching your Vlog as well, can’t wait for more travels together!! 🥰🙌🏻
You know it’s team Luton, that’s why you sold the sprinter lol. Have a great time away, stay safe.
Our vote would be for team Luton, because our plan is to travel in the winter so a shower is needed. 🚿😊 But for us the Sprinter would be perfect for the summer around Europe- you can park closer to the beaches and cities with a smaller rig. So we were thinking the vote is more dependent on personal situation!☺️😅
Amazing work Team Luton for the win. great job!
Thanks so much Jordi! A day one Luton fan! 😅🥰
At last a real life van vlog. Well done.
Thanks Arun! 🙌🏻
Team sprinter as I've bought a mwb sprinter to convert. Really enjoy watching even though the build has finished. Have a fabulous trip and keep having fun 😁😂👍
Ah glad you’re still enjoying!! We were worried people would lose interest now the builds are done! Great to have you watching and supporting us. Plus Harri will be chuffed with the Sprinter vote!
Muy hermosa la Luton van ! Felicitaciones!
Muchos Gracias MT! 🙌🏻 It was so much fun to build
Definitely Team Luton. What a great build and would love to be able to chill out cooking in the galley kitchen whilst being able to have the back doors open to a stunning view.
For sure, our favourite part of the van! I can’t even argue with people choosing Team Luton, I’ve become a bit of a fan myself (Harri)! 🙌🏻
Loving the tour, looks so beautiful I can forgive you for the socks and sliders 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Team Luton for me xxx
PS hope the heads aren’t too sore x
Heads weren’t too awful, thanks for the concern!🤣 Glad you’ve come around to the socks and sliders (we’ll be seeing you wearing them soon I reckon!) 😅
@@NickyandHarri lol 😂 that is pushing it 🤣🤣🤣
You know I’m always team Sprinter but the Luton looks completely dreamy!!!
Appreciate you sticking to your Sprinter guns Adrian! But we’ve got to give Nicky credit, the Luton is nice as hell 👀
It’s got to be team sprinter for us pensioners, but both are great, great van build
Good to hear I’ve still got some Team Sprinter fans out there! Appreciate it Steve! 💪🏼
Gotta be Team Luton guys
Looks amazing and good too see you ack on the road ripping it up and showing us all some incredible spots
Keep on Rolling 👊
Thanks Lee!😅☺️glad you’re enjoying that travel part of our lives as well as the van build grind!
Spacious sprinter baby
Appreciate you!! 💪🏼
Ahhh, defo #TeamLuton, sorry Harri! 😂 The Sprinter was awesome, but the Luton is next level - besides, I cant knock your beautiful and oh so comfortable home on wheels, she's just a beaut! 🎉 So looking forward to this mini series w/ Kieran ans Alice! Italy awaits!! 😊
Ah thank you Kit! I (harri) have to agree that the Luton is a beauty and absolutely perfect for Europe in the Winter! We can’t wait to show you more of Italy🇮🇹🍕😊🥰
Great video guys, the Luton’s looking sweet. Looks like you’re having a blast. Not jealous at all 🤥 😜. Roll on the next video 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much Shorey! We can’t wait to bring you next weeks Vlog, it’s looking a bit tasty already! 😋 See you Sunday!! 👊🏼
@@NickyandHarri ooooo sounds exciting. I’ll be there 😉
Great videos, look forward to the next one, love you both 😍
Thanks so much Leigh! We’ve just posted it, so feel free to get caught up! 🙌🏻
Definitely team Luton...or seeing where you are, Forza Lutoni ! 👍
Appreciate that Arthur, or should I say ‘prago’! 🙌🏻
Another fab video guys! Filled with your usual energy and positivity. I love 🇮🇹 I used to live in Florence so it holds a special place in my heart.
It's still team Luton for us. Enjoy your travels.
Positive vibes as always
Michelle, Graham, Maximus and Freya 🐶
Always appreciate your positive vibes gang! 🙌🏻 Italy has earned a special place in our heat as well, it’s SO charming, we can’t wait to explore more!! 🥰
So lovely to see the van being a home at last. So happy to have your travel videos back too. Im afraid my final vote is TEAM LUTON- but well done on the sprinter too it has given us lots of great ideas. x
Thanks so much Sally, it’s SOOO nice to use it as a home (and not a building site). Can’t blame you for voting Team Luton, I’m chuffed my sprinter has given you some good ideas though! We can’t wait to bring you this weeks Vlog (we got up to some crazy stuff!) x
Team Luton ❤❤
Looks incredible! Can’t wait to buy a van and do this! So many places we can’t wait to visit 😍
PS invest in some crocs, much comfier 😂
Hahaha, thanks Katie, probably going to have to start wearing some actual shoes soon, don’t think it’s fashionable out here! 🤣 We’re so excited for you, it’s so much fun! 😅
Bless you both, you are an inspiration……love+cando+enterprise=living the dream
Thank you Leonard - your kind words are SOOO appreciated! xx
For me the Luton has it but the sprinter is a good all round package as well, but at the end of the day it's the Luton for me. We'll done guys
Appreciate that Ian. I think you’re right, both vans had something different in their favour, but having lived in the Luton for the past 2 weeks, the bathroom has swung my vote as well!! 👀
Team luton. The van layout looks like it's working well. The places you visited were beautiful 😍
Thanks so much Z fitness! The van layout has been a dream for us so far, and even better this week in the NEW vlog! 👀😅
Both vans look amazing, but I'd have to say Team Luton, just because of the size of the van... But also a little because of the full shower inside ;)... Keep it up!! Love the content.
Honestly the full hot shower changes the whole game for us! We really don’t feel like we’re living in a van at all with the shower!😅🥰
team luton truly has my heart, it's inspired me to sort it out & get a van too
We love hearing things like this! Make sure to send us some photos on IG when you buy one! 😅
Lets go! Voting Team Luton! It looks to cosy and a great space to be in!
I'm saving up for my own van build after watching from your minibus days!
Appreciate that bud, the space is awesome to live in, I can’t deny it! What a throwback to the minibus days, glad to have an OG watcher still here! 🙌🏻
Right that’s it . . . Final decision Team Luton !!
Bet you guys travelling together get some strange looks in 2 converted delivery vans lol
Tesco’s to Turin . . . . Every Little Helps as they say . . .
You’re not wrong, we’ve definitely been getting a couple of double takes! Tesco To Turin, every little helps! That made us laugh 🤣🤣
Lovely yto see you enjoying yourselves after all that hard work, have fun. Can't wait to see where you go next 🙂
Ah. Thank you Kathy! That’s so kind. It’s been so nice to finally chill and enjoy the fruits of our labour! 🍉 🍓🍎🍑🍊 We can’t wait to share with you, what we get up to next!
Lovely seeing you enjoying the road. The Luton is awesome.
Thanks Paul, She’s done a smashing job, definitely feels like a proper home on wheels! 😀
I love the lutom
Thanks so much!
Team Luton!😊
Thanks Nicholas!!!
Team Luton
Good to see you guys on the road again. The luton si absolutely stunning. Don't miss the lake Garda in Italy beacause it's so beautiful. Have a great time on your trip!
Thanks Dragos. We absolutely loved lake Garda last year, think we’ll stop at it on the way back up! 😅👋🏻
Team Sprinter, all the way
That’s the bro! 👊🏼
Hey you two…..enjoying your vlogs, great fun and a great vibe and good solid info. Think the Luton just has the edge to take the win with the van build…. Looking forward to the next vlog xx
Hey Diane 👋🏻, thanks so much, we’re so glad you’re enjoying the vlogs! I can’t argue with any Team Lutoners, Nicky’s made us one hell of a cozy home to live in! Think I’m even partly team Luton now! 🤣 See you on Sunday! X
Team Luton, great vid, enjoy your travels all 🙂
Thank you- we will!🥰
Makes me feel like I’m there with you. Great content. X
Thanks so much, that’s the plan!😅 x
Team Sprinter 🙏❤️
Thanks Nico! 🙌🏻🚐
I live at Grenoble ; i hope that your enjoyed the area ;) (& i am definitely team Luton's ;) ). Any you did a great job in a very limited time ! Thank you for the beautiful videos. Bye. Tom :)
That’s awesome Thomas, we absolutely loved Grenoble, it’s such a beautiful city! We’re glad you’re enjoying the videos, we can’t wait to show you this Sunday’s Vlog!! (It’s a crazy one!) 👀
The alps look stunning may have to do a winter trip there 😍
They’re absolutely stunning, it’s a must see!!
I guess it would be rude not to go with #TeamLuton!?!? Although a bit of a shame we/you didn't get tp try and enjoy the Sprinter for a bit longer. It looked ace too. Enjoy 'la bella Italia'!
Couldn’t agree more, was a real shame, but would have been more of a shame to have a van like that sat un-used for months while we’re away in the Luton! We’re loving Italy so far, and can’t wait to explore more! 😅
Team Luton 🎉
All your van builds are brilliant
They look so cosy
Ah thank you Andrew! That means so much. Tbf wed have to agree - it’s a pretty cosy Luton 🥰
Lovely to see fab #teamluton in use doing what’s she’s designed for! My fave build from the start if I’m honest! Well done x
She really is running so well too! No problems so far! Awww🙋🏼♀️😅 thank you that means so much!
What an amazing trip so far guys enjoy every minute of it :) #Team Luton
Appreciate it Steve! Having a blast so far, have recorded some really fun stuff for next Sunday 😅🤞🏻
Loving the vlog and following your travels! 🚚
Thanks Emma!! 🥰
Teem sprinter from day 1

Team Luton!!!
Keep it up guys. Always look forward to a Vanbitious ep!
Yassss Carl🎉 love that you enjoy our vids!! Thank you for watching along 😅❤
Fantastic # Team Luton
Thanks Aden!! 😅🙌🏻
It would be nice to see you two or all four, 5 with the dog. To go to Croatia 🇭🇷 and then Pula its an beautiful and warm city and a must see
I’ve heard Pula is beautiful!☺️
Sorry Harri, but Team Luton as she has a shower lol 😆 Love Italy so can't wait to see your adventures especially with Kieran & Alice as I have been following them since they came over to the WWW in Ireland 😃🚚💨💨🇪🇺🇮🇹
Ah. Awesome!! They’re the best! Have to agree - the shower is making van life sooooo convenient atm 😅🚿😊😊
Team Sprinter

Team sprinter
Appreciate you Ben!
Team Sprinter. Just subscribed!
Appreciate you Luke! 👋🏻
Team Lutton for me.... your also making me want t to crack a bottle of wine open on 10am on a Sunday morning aswell 🙈🤷🏻♂️
Yasss Team Luton!🙋🏼♀️😍hahah do it! What else are lazy Sundays for?🍷🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼
Team Sprinter has to be the choice for me! Gotta stick to my guns! You definitely should be getting drunk with your mates dudes, enjoy your time. The scenes you've captured look amazing! 👌🏻❤️
Appreciate it my bro, sticking to the good ol’ sprinter, I love it! 💪🏼 Think we’ve earned getting pissed with mates after all the stress of these builds! We’re really glad you’ve enjoyed the Vlog and scenes we caught! 👊🏼
@@NickyandHarri definitely!! And it's crap weather in the UK now so I know where I'd rather be getting on the wine! 😂 Italy is lush 👌🏻👌🏻
@@jimfairbrother1687 Always feels a little bit sweeter when you’re away and the weather in the UK is crap, I can’t deny it! 🤣 No complaints about the wine over here so far, it’s been a treat! 🍷
Don't apologise for drinking! Brits abroad baby!!! Woowoo
You know it Reuben, Brits on Tour!! 😅
Cool another vote! #teamsprinter
Yup!!😻
I think your van will have a smart alternator (varying current), so a split charger is not the right thing for the job. You’re better off with a B2B charger
As we were going through the footage, we realised we had said it wrong ourselves! Was waiting for someone to correct us, so you’re the man with all the knowledge we were waiting for! 🙌🏻 Fitted the B2B yesterday!! 😄
@@NickyandHarri excellent news. If I’m the expert, we’re all in trouble haha. Enjoy the trip guys
team Luton after watching this, looks so much room and cosy too. Any chance a basic route map showing your route through France to Italy please? Hoping to do similar next year, never done Europe but hoping to next year. Looking forward to next week already. Caio
Cheers Bob, I’ve definitely come around to the idea of being Team Luton as well now. (Harri Speaking)! We’ll for sure be able to do this, no problem at all, your trip sounds very exciting!!! See you next week, Caio! 👋🏻
Team Luton! It surely is more comfortable and spacious to live in. But is it also nice to drive and park?🤔
It’s amazing to live in, and honestly parking and driving has been zero issue so far! Probably partly because we’re travelling in the off-season, so parking is easy to come by! But loving it so far! 😅🙌🏻
I'm team Luton. When did you travel? How long ago?
Luton because Luton as a place needs all the votes it can get.
Hahhal love that logic😅
Hi guys. Love the Luton build. Where did you buy it please? Any lutons I see on autotrader or FB marketplace have a roller door to the rear and a tail lift. I would prefer one like yours with the 2 horizontal opening doors. Can you point me to where you found yours? Cheers
Hey guys, glad you are enjoying your new build. Have you weighed the rig before sailing off UK? I wonder what you ended up with. Maybe a quick tour of your gear would be an awesome video in the series?
Yessss a tour is defo gonna be uploaded soon!! Haven’t weighed it yet - but we’re pretty confident it’s below 3.5tons! It’s actually a job we need to get done on the road!
@@NickyandHarri you are brave! I wouldn't go abroad without that weight ticket. Waiting for that tour!
teamsprinter but both are great
Appreciate you sticking with the boys Andrew! 💪🏼
❤️❤️❤️
💖
@@NickyandHarri 🤗🤗🤗
If you come to Portugal i pay a coffe and pastel de nata…..from Setúbal boa viagem
Thanks Paulo! Maybe we will come to Portugal soon!
excellent van build' just wish i had the time and money to build my own van to escape the eternal rat race
There’s always time, and they’re really not too expensive to build out! We’ve managed to escape it so far, and don’t plan on going back! 👀🤞🏻
Team Luton! How's the insulation around the bed turned out, has it been warm enough?
Appreciate it JD! To be honest it’s been absolutely fine, the diesel heater has been a game changer!! 😄
Check the Luton to see if it has a smart charger, I didn't and now have a useless split charger 😭🤣
Oooo thanks for the heads up!
great vids, can i ask what camera you use please?
Hey Matt, it’s the Sony Zv1
Team Luton Love you guys, We have just come back from 2 weeks in Love Blackpool & My friend says i have a van fetish she loves cars me I have a thing for Luton vans haha She is going to buy a RS car me no you can keep it me Love Love Vans haha
Hahahah you’re so funny! You could say that we have a van fetish too😂😊👀❤️
i absolutaly love the luton build!! nice done guys.
i am considering a converion myself. but i am a bit worried about the total weight of the vehicle. do you happen to know how much your luton weighs? is it more than 3500 tons?
thanks in advance :)
Ah so glad you love it!!! We love it too😅😊 we haven’t actually weighed it yet - that’s a job to do on the road - will let you know as soon as we do! But we’re pretty confident it’s below the 3.5 mark!🤷🏼☺️
👍🏼🛠👫🚛
Hi where did you get you guys get the stove toastie from?
It’s called a ridge monkey! You can just grab them from Amazon - game changer for van life tbf!
Thanks guys that will make a big difference in our van x
luton clearly
‘Clearly’ hurts me a bit inside! 👀
Don’t get me wrong I love the sprinter but its fairly standard build. Only thing I think the Luton is missing is a tail lift would have made a great addition but I guess that’s a weight issue.
Not a good out take
Takes the piss doesn’t it
Another brilliant video guys 👍👍❤️ @bettyourcampervan xx cant wait to get Betty2 finished 🚐🚐❤️❤️ and still team Sprinter 👍
We’re looking forward to seeing the end result of Betty 2!🥰❤️
@@NickyandHarri oh me too 🤣🤣🤣
Team Luton
Thanks Wendy!
