  • Our DIY Self van build continues and this week we install windows into your Peugeot Boxer campervan just before a storm that left us with no power, water or phone signal for nearly a week. Did we install the windows on time? And, did they survive the storm?

    I found it better to put the fridge mucher higher ..saves kneeling down looking for your food !!

    Looking forward to see this progress
    You will definitely see the benefit of using the double glazed windows

    Smashing job you guys made of the windows....glad you got it done before the storm and you had no water leaks....superb. Storm in Scotland pretty bad, lots of power off for 3 days + and roof of doctors surgery took off🌬🌬🌬Van is taking shape guys, with your solar panels etc think its going to be a cracker. Keep up the good work. Love your positive get stuck in attitude which is brilliant.👍👍👍

    Great video again guys. We used that insulation in our van too. Got it from b&Q. Doesn't agitate and so easy to tear into sections. Name for van...what about Carrick. Then you'd have Carrick and Fergus 😎

      @ShaneandAneVanLife  День назад

    I think you've come up with a great layout. Just a suggestion to swap the cooker & sink. That way, you won't get food/grease spatters on your bedding and having the cooker in front of the door gives you the option of having extra ventilation when cooking.

    • @ShaneandAneVanLife

    • @CaraOL-w2f
      @CaraOL-w2f День назад

      I would do this too. You might want to be able to access the gas and water tank from the outside when the door is fully open also.

    Only lost one ridge tile in the storm thankfully and it didn’t hit anything or anyone. Would scare crap out of me to cut a hole in a van but I literally can’t put a shelf up straight. The fridge in blue van looks same as mine git it from just Kampers love it, great value.

    Looking good. Would you not considet going all electric and forgetting the gas? You could always carry a small gas camoing single or two burner to cook on outside the van by placing it on a fold down flap at the back of fhe kitchen to use when the door is open.

    Hi guys
    Glad you're both safe.I saw the beating my home town in Clare took and it was heartbreaking.You can take the boy out of Ireland but you'll never take Ireland out the boy!
    On a lighter note.Has Ane started work for the council? The way she was inspecting your workmanship.I was just waiting for her to produce a clipboard and start saying "You can't park that there pal"😁😁
    Just a thought but as you've got the two doors if you're going to be taking it primarily in Spain i would keep the open space curbside for the continent that way if you're parking on the street you're not opening into the road if you get what im trying to say
    All the best and every week you both put a hugh smile on my face and bring back so many happy memories.🇪🇸🇮🇪🚐

    • @ShaneandAneVanLife
      @ShaneandAneVanLife  2 дня назад +1

      Hey David! 👋
      I hope everyone in Clare is doing well too, it's been such a difficult week...
      I think she has actually started working for the council! She is going around snag list 😂😂
      A lot of people are saying the same about keeping the other sliding door as our main door. Funny we never found that a problem with Fergus, so we are not sure what to do!
      Thanks as always for tuning in and your comment! See you next week 😄

    Love the plans for the layout and placement of the water containers, I have seen them with the access through the back of the cupboard and the “double sliding door” and it looks really handy. Consider fitting a swivel mount on the drivers seat too, that will be handy when you are travelling abroad and using the drivers side sliding door so that you aren’t facing the traffic (hope that makes sense). Go for it Annie and get in the driving seats! Got to say I try to encourage my wife to drive our little T6 but she hates it which is fine unless I am not able to drive for some reason.

    • @ShaneandAneVanLife

    Hi guys, great video as ever... Can't you move the 3 solar panels back a bit abd put the fan in between them and the large panel. You'd get more benefit from the fan being further down the van. So large panel, fan, small panels vent. Good ole Fergus sat patiently in the background watching, or judging. Haha Go on Annie get behind that wheel down that wild Atlantic way. Thanks guys. 💜🤲🙌🫶🙏

    • @ShaneandAneVanLife
      @ShaneandAneVanLife  2 дня назад

      Hey, thanks so much for tuning in a your comment! 💛
      That could work. The skylight and the fan should be delivered tomorrow, so we'll see how we can fit them once they arrive!
      Haha Fergus knows that he is and will always be our number 1, so he is enjoying his well-earned break 😊
      I don't know how Fergus would behave with me behind the wheel 😂

    • @CaraOL-w2f
      @CaraOL-w2f День назад

      I was about to suggest this also. Better to have a bit of space between the skylight and the fan 😊. Also, if the skylight can open then you can get better airflow through the van with the fan on.
