Nice one Mel, loving the fact you're 'keeping it real' with the postie making a walk on part ! Great job .👍👍👍
He was a little shy he’s quite funny I’m working on getting him in lol 😂

Your jumper is the same as the windows inside outside outside in 😂😂 at least got the windows the right way around 😂😂
Loving the new windows mate 👍👏
Thank you and well don’t for spotting jumper 😂😂
@@BigVanSmallWorld when I order my windows I'll be telling them it was your video that led me to that company👍 Thanks Mate
Say hallo to mr plonker the postman😁
Great vlog, fitted my window today, thanks for your help 👍
Glad it helped 👍🤓👍
Awesome job Mel, stay safe.👍
My caravan windows from a well known auction site weren't drilled in the right places however I fitted one successfully. Went to do the 2nd; again not drilled in the right places! But low and behold, I drilled right through to the outside! Bit of good fun, this van conversion lark! Ha Ha. Easy fix though. Phew!
Well done 👍
Made me see the light well done Mel.
Haha I see what you did there 😂👍
GREAT JOB ! Thanks for shout out ! Paul @ Leisure Vehicle Windows
No worries Paul as soon as I can get some decent Photos With a Decent Back drop I’ll Send them to you 👍
Great job Mel, confirmation for us that this is the perfect size window we need 🙏
That really is looking pukka Mel. Lovely job!
Thank you i
The van master strikes again 👌
Thank you 😊
Another great video. Keep posting cos it's only you and other RUclipsrs keeping us sane in this lockdown.
Oh mate I feel ya pain I’ll do my best 😊👍
Mel thank you so much for taking the time to answer my query on the ring B2B charger your a star mate👍👍
No worries Kev 👍
You make it all look so simple to do. If I did it window would fall through 😂.looks great Mel
Hahaha I’m sure you could have a go 😊👍
Nice video Mel. Love the new windows they look the business 👍
Thanks I’m really pleased with them 👍
cracking job Mel. Look forward to the next one. :-)
Thank you 😊
The Van's coming on a treat Mel - that does really open it up with just those two small windows ..... Looks 'cooler' from the outside too :-)
Thank you 😊
Looks really good Mel!
Thank you 😊
Great vid...sticky nights that's all you need...
Thank you 👍🤓👍
The English Pennliner is inspired and impressed, great video
Only just found your channel Mel. Excellent job with the windows mate..yer the height of that little window is just right mate. It would have been too low. So DVLA says it has to have 2 windows..didn’t know that. Is that 2 per side. I Wanted to go stealth .Regards Jim
Hi James thank you for joining me I really appreciate everyone the DVLA say they want 2 window in at lest one side of the van I put two just because I wanted the extra ventilation good luck with your build 👍😷👍
Great job keep up the good work
Thank you 👍
Hi Mel. Grand job as normal. The more work you do the better you become. regards. Barry
Thank you 😊
The DVLA aren't exactly helping you become "kinda stellfy", are they? 😊😊. Your trick with the cardboard and two holes is great outside the box thinking. An enjoyable video!.
Thank you I appreciate your encouragement and support and yes it is only going to be kinda stealthy lol 😂
Also you need an Awning rail and graphics on the side. The Awning rail isn't tough or expensive. Also the graphics aren't too tough either. Will look forward to seeing Mel doing his thing with these. Actually Mel, you could have a custom graphic made up for your chanel that followers could buy as a tribute to their diy camper guru. I'd be up for one!
Hi Mel what silken did you use for the rear windows
@@chrismartin5772 Hi Chris. From watching the video I believe Mel simply used the silicone provided by the supplier of the windows. But that said I'm sure Mel will indeed correct me if not the case..👍
chris martin everything I used came with the kit with the window sorry for delay only just seen your comment I didn’t get notifications 👍🤓👍
Great job mel
Thank you 👍🤓👍
Had these fitted by Sublime conversions , who you previously recommended , really pleased with them .
Brilliant 👍😷👍
Mel I love the way you work
Thank you that’s really kind of you to say 👍😊👍
That is looking excellent Mel, getting closer to the time for registration as campervan. We have a few cats come round here looking for trouble until they meet my cat. He's a large grey pussycat that weighs in over 7kg. When one has a go he just sits and watches.
Haha brilliant 👍😷👍
Well Done Mel. Another 'proper job'!!
Thank you 😊
Great job❤️
Thank you 👍😷👍
They are very nice Windows and I did look at the price of them previously, a bit rich for my budget camper and also bigger than I need though. I did however order one of the smaller rubber mounted non opening windows.
Nice to people speak to on the phone and delivered quickly as well.
Thank you yes good company 👍😷👍
Smart little windows are those mate. That adhesive is terrible stuff to squeeze out of the tubes. Me and my son did one with a hand gun and even after it had been on a radiator for hours it was still hard going. We ended up buying a air powered adhesive gun for £20 and borrowed a small compressor, made it so much easier.
I know I got a heavy duty gun it still not ezy 👍
Cracking job on the windows Mel and also on the whole van, I can see why you want to keep this one 👍
Thank you that’s really nice of you 👍😷👍
Great stuff Mel, well done Thankyou! Stay safe. Mick
Thank you mick 👍
Cheers for helping me out yesterday with the vent window sizes Mel , ordered the windows today and even got a discount mentioning you how I found out about them 😁😃
That’s brilliant take your time fitting them and follow my instructions you won’t go wrong 👍☺️👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld yeah cheers Mel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
Love your intro. Makes me smile every time!
Thank you Theo from indie projects was going to impersonate me but chickend out lol 😂
Hi you saved my van with drilling through from the inside and putting the cardboard outside 😅great idea
Glad I could help👍
👍👍Brilliant Mel👍👍👌
Thank you 😊
Nice job mate keep safe
Thank you 😊 and you 😷👍
Job well done I'd say. You could leave the isolation on the panels and stick Velcro on the isolated side like I told you in the last video.
In the other hand, nice little curtains on a spiral cord let oxigen in and light out. I would be opting for the last one.
Good and cheers mate🍷😄🍻
Cheers 🍻 I’m thinking the same 👍
At 2mins 'these were'nt cheap, 300 for the pair', I was surprised that they are that inexpensive, very reasonable indeed I'd say, especially for the pair, unless you meant 300 each, then they'd be too pricey. So encouraging to see you soldiering on like you do, in the cold, outside, on your own, a true trojan. Best wishes Alan, in Norfolk.
Thank you Alan 😊👍
Looks great! Well done!
Thank you really appreciate your encouragement 😊👍
Good job Mel! Now we just need to beat this virus and enjoy our vans. I've now SORN'd mine but I will sort out a few issues in readiness for normality - hopefully not too far in the future. Stay safe Mel.
Hi Robert that’s not a bad idea sorn it save paying the tax for a van that can’t go anywhere in I’m on it lol thank you 👍😂👍
had one fitted by them earlier in the year cracking job and like you said Mel highly recommended....not brave enough to fit my own
I have to say I was really pleased with the end result and even more relieved 😅 👍
This a great video, if you are considering putting windows in your van. I liked the fitting tips , thanks for posting
Thank you for taking the time to comment really appreciated 👍
Good job

That is looking a top job Mel, excellent!!
I'm off to watch today's video now 😊

@@BigVanSmallWorld out of interest did you ever consider an iveco daily? I quite fancy having a go with an xlwb - any thoughts or concerns mate?
Fantastic well done MEL now it’ looks awesome.👍🍺🇬🇧🤘
Thank you 😊
Excellent you have done this video, Mel! Those windows look great. Price very reasonable if this includes the fitting kit. I got a solar panel after all! Makes sense. Daft not to. Much encouraged by your consistently superb content etc. Once again, thanks.
That’s really nice of you to say thank you 😊👍
Hi Mel, i have just got my windows today for the back of the van plus one for the sliding door. I have watched many videos but find yours to be the best. I even have the exact same jig say as you have. So may be tomorow I will have mine fitted
Thank you that’s really kind of you to say good luck with your installation take your time don’t rush and you will be golden 👍
fantastic job Mel
Thank you 😊
Another Great Vid Mel ..keep up the great work
Thank you 👍
great vid mel iv been loocking to put some of these windows in my mw transit looks fab
Thank you 😊
Where were you two weeks ago when I fitted mine!? Agree wholeheartedly with your recommendation! Great company.
Just finished fitting Unistrut to the roof of my Crafter, in preparation for a solar panel a kayak rack and Fiamma awning! Thanks for the fitting method!
That’s good to know stay safe and well and soon be able to enjoy the benefits of all the hard work 😊👍
Blimey the surplus cash some people have is shocking. Vans looking good 👍🏻
Thank you was my holiday money lol 👍😷👍
Good job once again. Thought crossed my mind for future reference. Support open window with a piece of wood and a couple of G clamps would create more force than just tape. Just a thought🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴
Yes that’s true shame I didn’t think about that oh well it’s all working out ok 😊👍
Mel’s Van World I’ve fitted five windows over the last few years. It only dawned on me watching your video😂😂 stay healthy 🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴
Good job Mel, you make it look easy
Thank you 😊
Top quality job Mel 👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
Looking great Mel!
Thank you 😊
Top job Mel! Checking the window and holding it up against the van before cutting a hole is the best advice! I've had windows turn up and the matrix finished way too early and paintwork on the van was showing, also check for minor damages too.
Top Job Mel , Well Done.
Thank you 😊
Class video. I'm not blessed with practical ability but this was a great tutorial! All the best!
Thank you for the positive feedback really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Looking good Mel. Great video.
Thank you 😊
Brilliant video, got same window to fit in same size van this week, thanks Mel, just subbed
Thank you buddy good luck with your windows just take your time and you’ll be fine 👍🤓👍
Great vid Mel..man .the postie arrived at worse possible time lol🤯🤯
Thank you it’s ok he’s funny I keep trying to get him on film lol 😂
