Every now and again you come across a channel where you can just keep watch for hours. This is one of them, keep up the great work guys from a new subscriber 🔥👍
I work in a Sainsbury’s online department and I’ve always said how great one of these would be for a camper van. Looking forward to following along the build
I've worked with these rear loaders as a supermarket driver. They get absolutely battered in their working life, clocking up over 100k in no time, driven up and down potholed tracks all day, to and from farms in the more rural areas. But if you've luckily found a good one then they're ideal for conversion.
Compared to other used vans, supermarket vans are probably some of the best kept with the black box that penalties you for speeding or revving too high and the good maintenance schedules
To answer a few comments. They have minimal maintenance and lightfoot is ignored by most drivers so they get ragged. They're delivery vans, so they will usually be running all day 6am till 12pm 7 days a week clocking up far more miles than a tradesman's van for example.
I’m a Tesco Delivery Driver, nice to see you ripping a Sainsbury’s one apart, wouldn’t know how to feel if it was a Tesco one, nice to see so far, can’t wait to see the rest of the build
I'm disabled and I've worked at Glastonbury disabled camspite for almost twenty years. It's gettting harder for me now, and I would LOVE to get some custom small van like this. Absolutely no chance of me doing it, but I can dream. Love this content
Thanks 😁 we don’t appreciate how things we don’t even think about in life can be so much more of a challenge for disabled people, I used to service a forklift at a place that built aids for disabled kids, broke my heart every time but also so glad to see people are building things to help them access more places, I hope u get that van one day 👍
Good to see a young cple doing there research and using logic & common sense just can not go wrong excellent keep up the good work and we appreciate you sharing your knowledge even for us old timers :)
Since seeing this van conversion last night, today I've become obsessed with it, this is something I really want to do, been scrolling past these fridge van's thinking nope no good, but now seeing this I'm thinking omg these are going to be the next rage of conversions, just think how much more there is to see when sitting that bit higher up 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank lee, I think they make a cracking camper, and compared to panel vans they are so much cheaper, I can’t believe how much more space u get inside due to the square walls too, One of the negatives I would say tho is they don’t have a/c
Ths is thone I've been waiting for. They sell these near me for a stupidly low price. You say they are good for the Arctic but equally good for hot countries too 👍
Get in 💪😂💙! Haha thanks very much, that’s really kind of you, not sure about being pro builders but Jon’s definitely a pro at being a pain in the a** 😂
Great job guys, every you tube channel shy s away from a walk through so kudos to you no messing about you purchased the bellows seal, overall its looking good , also like the way you cleaned and sealed the chassis before re attachting the body = longer life ! zero rust.
Thanks very much, we weren’t sure how we were going to do it until we started but it’s worked out really well and we are stoked with it. A walk through just makes life so much easier….. and give me quicker access to the fridge and pantry 😂 thanks, like you say just makes sense to when we have such an easy opportunity to 😀
Cheers Brian, your so right I’m lucky enough to have a lot of the gear which makes things so much easier, got so much respect for people who do driveway builds with just the basics 👍
I use to drive one of this Vans and I love it. Was thinking for a build like this with one of them, can't wait to se the end result. You do a great job.
I’ve driven a few of those Sainsburys vans. They have a “green road” gadget , you have to stick to the speed limits, so it won’t have been thrashed. Love the build so far 😊😊😊. Thanks for sharing
This just popped up on my recommendations and as a sainsburys driver i was intrigued. I wouldnt be too quick dismiss what other sainsburys drvers have told you, these vans do have a bit of a hard life engine wise, .. we do tend to rag them a bit lol!! best of luck with your build though , you have a new follower! bring on part 2 cant wait!
I really hope your channel explodes soon, you deserve so many more eyes on your content, it’s brilliant! Love watching these build videos, found you at the start of the defender build, loved it and went back and watched everything else. Can’t wait to see how this build goes too!
You're back! Very interesting and entertaining. Thought provoking too. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds. Good luck with this daring endeavour! Pete 😊
We done this a few years ago with a ex sinsburys sprinter van. For me the worst part was cutting the roof windows into the box.good luck with the build.
Cracking Start on the new Winter Van Project. Having spent time under my 21 year old Sprinter Based Motorhome de rusting it over a week, it would have been really nice to be able to have full access to the top of the chassis rail and cross members as they are almost impossible to get to with the body in place. I was impressed with how well the underseal went on and I think that will be my next step if the Wife wants to keep the Motorhome after it's last adventure on the back of a tow truck. As it has had one too many breakdowns for her to be confident in it. It is still stuck in our layby waiting of our Local Mechanic to come out and run his diagnostic tool on the gearbox to see what the problem is.
@@truebluetravellers probably not cheap. It could be the control module or the electric pump that operates the selector for the manual box. Hopefully it is whatever is cheaper to replace. It is a great system till the van goes into limp mode or becomes a very heavy caravan without a hitch and the added bonus of an engine as steerage. That could be an option fitting caravan movers to it so I can at least get it back in to my drive.
Duuuude! You are gifted man! Thanks for sharing one more awesome video. Your cuts are sick! Your sense of design is great as well. Well done, thanks for uploading! Wishing you good luck on the next projects from Sweden 🇸🇪!
Great video guys! Just started watching this build series again. Thinking this may well be the way to go. Roll on early retirement......well, not that early , im already an old git😂.
I've wanted to make a portable sauna for renting out at events or for travelling but couldn't find a big enough vehicle. This seems perfect. Easy to work on and plenty of open space for a beginner. Informative video thank you.
Fantastic, I've just finished my own Renault trafic build and loved doing it... But now watching you guys starting this project make's me want to start another ! Love the video's 🙂👍
Brilliant 🤩 hope your loving using it! Van travel is the absolute best! There’s something amazing about building your own home to travel in! If your on Facebook or insta we’d love it if you send us a pic, we love seeing people’s builds! Thanks very much 💙
Thanks very much, oh that’s great, they definitely offer something different to a panel van, we are really interested to see how it turns out and what it’s like to use 😁
This is a surprise! I'd thought you'd be out and about in your Defender. But, I like surprises. Looks like another interesting build. I've grown weary of excessive heat. Looking forward to following you on your winter wonderland travel!
Great video glad you got the older van with the gear change not on the stalk as they much nicer to drive and engines felt more powerful also it’s really good to see how much you can change the inside of the boxes
Only discovered your channel this week, love the content (you two are hilarious) and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build, so different from the 100's of others i've seen before.
Thanks ever so much and so great to hear that it gives you a laugh 😂💙 thanks very much, we’d not seen one done before we got it but since buying it a couple of people have contacted us about similar things they have done. We’re interested…and a bit nervous truth be told, to see if it will handle the cold the way we hope it will.
Another awesome build video . Looking forward to seeing your artic 🥶van build before and after set of videos . The landy build was a blast to watch . Normally I don’t watch build videos or van life travel very much other then land Rover ones . But you two have a great way of making them enjoyable . PLUSS looking forward to seeing your travel memories videos that we will get to see . Thanks again for sharing your wonderful videos with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) ☃️🗻🍻👍🏼😁
Thanks Steve, me and Jess were saying yesterday it’s a shame we are not off in the Landy on a big adventure but can’t wait for it anyway, thanks for following along tho Steve 👍😁
Wow cant wait to see this come together. Loving the enthusiasm guys and amusing too. Just found you today so have subscribed and will be watching from now on. 😀
The capping on your door/window holes would be better made of polyurethane or other plastic. Aluminium will let all the cold in as it allows the heat to bypass your insulation. Love the build, really good idea to use a supermarket van!
Cheers mate, yeah so a few people have said the same so I’ve done some research and from what I’ve found I think the best thing I can do is cap the aluminium on the inside to act as a barrier/insulator, job to do before we set off 👍
After cutting through sheet metal, twisting forces will accumulated on the corners and they will be released by cracking along the 90º corner. You should always round the corners on any sheet metal panel cut to dissipate those forces.
Hopefully your new retractable steps don't freeze up when in the nordic winter, when trying to deploy them. Great build just watched you guys for the first time. Yes I've subscribed
Cheers mate 👍 thanks we appreciate it! 🤞 She works out the way we hope! We’re loving the defender crew coming along for the ride 💪 so far all the defender owners we’ve met have been legends!
Oh sorry not sure I explained that well, the van weighed 2060kg once we removed the step and a/c unit, I think they weighed about 300kgs, but we did sell them on second hand so a few extra pennies to put towards the build 😁
Oh that’s really nice of you to say thank you, there’s a fair bit of staring at the van and head scratching I promise… but that would be a pretty dull video 😂
Hello jess and jon iv just come across your new van build and subscribed straight off .. great start to your build n clever choice on the ex sainsbury van .. looking forward to yer progress n with the laffs throwin in they go too quick .. best of luck to ye ☘️☘️
Just starting watching this vid as it caught my eye and now I'm hooked it would be interesting to see the finished build as I've just had the house refurbished and it was a nightmare gonna keep watching your vids now ya got yourself a new subscriber ya flammin dingo 😂😂✌
Fantastic job looking forward to seeing the progress. Not telling you how to suck eggs but I’ve just converted a 4.2 tonne delivery truck living in Spain. Make sure any internal metal or aluminum frames have a good vapor barrier or covered with fabric as they condensate badly in the cold. Great video.
Thanks very much and not at all I appreciate the advice, yeah unfortunately I had to get the aluminium frame as I couldn’t get any plastic trim in that size but hoping the door seals do a good job 👍
as someone who works for a competitor delivery company that's probably the tidiest van compared to most of ours, ours have half a million miles, barely run and are full of holes before they get retired
New sub. This looks VERY interesting. I was considering one of those vans when I bought my Boxer a year ago. Can't wait to see how you get on with this. Thanks.
Hi! Thanks very much, much appreciated. Boxers are great too, squarer walls than a panel van sprinter which gives a bit more space too. Hope you’ve enjoyed building it and are getting to explore in it, van travel is the BEST! 💙
Just found your channel and love your work. We spent 12 years in the uk , so glad too finaly get home back in Australia. Have fun but its not real life there 😂
Thanks very much, that’s nice of you to say. I will always miss home but the UK has become a home to me now too and I think I’d miss it here if I left. Would be wonderful to spend summer in each place!!
Every now and again you come across a channel where you can just keep watch for hours. This is one of them, keep up the great work guys from a new subscriber 🔥👍
Thanks very much coully, lovely of you to say 😁
definitely not he's the most annoy prat ever thinks he's a geezer more if a pure plonker
Glad you’ve gone for a walk through cab. Makes life easy and if you get moved on or need to move on at night it makes life easy.
Yep that’s what we think too Peter 👍

Cheers mate, 😂😂 I’ve had a Tesco box before too but just used that as a big tool box with the side shutters and the boxes inside 👍
@@truebluetravellers that’s one way to use one
As an ex Sainsburys driver, I like seeing you rip apart a delivery van. Although the Mercs are better than the Tesco's Ivecos. 😅
I love watching a genius at work , this build is going to be amazing
Not sure about being a genius 😂😂 but thanks very much that’s lovely 💙
The so-called happiness, is with the right person to each other, comfortable way to live together.

You two are adorable. Love the banter between you. Loving your journey. Keep going. Can't wait to see the end product.

This is amazing guys, but now I want a supermarket truck!
😂😂😂cheers mate 👍
Enjoyed watching this, I have no intention of doing anything like this but enjoyed the vid.
New sub here
That’s really kind of you thanks mate 👍💙
Fantastic job looking forward to seeing the progress. Not telling you how to suck eggs but I’ve just converted a 4.2 tonne delivery truck living in Spain. Make sure any internal metal or aluminum frames have a good vapor barrier or covered with fabric as they condensate badly in the cold. Great video.
Thanks very much and not at all I appreciate the advice, yeah unfortunately I had to get the aluminium frame as I couldn’t get any plastic trim in that size but hoping the door seals do a good job 👍
Amazing love it
Thanks John 👍
Genius! Pure Genius!
Thanks 😁👍
+1 for the boundaries!
😂😂😂
Dude! Nice Seattle Chargers shirt!
Cheers mate 👍
as someone who works for a competitor delivery company that's probably the tidiest van compared to
most of ours, ours have half a million miles, barely run and are full of holes before they get retired
Yeah I’ve seen a few rough ones hey 👍
New sub. This looks VERY interesting. I was considering one of those vans when I bought my Boxer a year ago. Can't wait to see how you get on with this. Thanks.
Hi! Thanks very much, much appreciated. Boxers are great too, squarer walls than a panel van sprinter which gives a bit more space too. Hope you’ve enjoyed building it and are getting to explore in it, van travel is the BEST! 💙
Love coming across these videos so tempting to just get a van and disappear for a few months, love the content guys. New Subscriber here 🎉
Yes!!! Get after it 👍💙💪!!! It’s the absolute best!! Really appreciate it, thanks very much 😁
First time watching you both and subscribed immediately. Great content with relaxed and easy presentation. Cheers.
What a thing to say 💙 thanks ever so much 😁
Just found your channel and love your work. We spent 12 years in the uk , so glad too finaly get home back in Australia. Have fun but its not real life there 😂
Thanks very much, that’s nice of you to say. I will always miss home but the UK has become a home to me now too and I think I’d miss it here if I left. Would be wonderful to spend summer in each place!!
