♒︎ WHO ARE WE?
We are Gabe and Paula (Pau). We bought our van at the beginning of the 2020 with the idea of converting it during the weekends. But then, because of the global pandemic that has changed all our lives we suddenly found ourselves with a lot of time on our hands! After finishing at the beginning of August we started our epic journey to Spain to see Paula's family.

its nice to see young people like you getting out and a bout after all the hard work you have done on the van have a lovely summer and keep on smiling
Thanks Paul :) we hope you have a lovely summer too! Keep in touch
Loved this! Great to get more detail on the time lapse
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)
Really useful to get an explanation of some of what you are doing in the time lapse video
Thank you! We're glad it was useful :)
incredible! this is goals :)
Hi guys, great videos. You mentioned you didn't add in the van cost, but just as a rough guide, did you buy a van with low milage, what was your budget for the van?
What size wood did you use for the furniture? Thanks for another great video! We've started our build now, watching your videos time after time to make sure we're not ducking it up! :)
Hi Gabe and Pau, I've enjoyed all your videos on your wonderful project and hope you are reaping the rewards of your hard work. Just a few questions on the legalities of your van conversion. Did you have to change anything on your DVLA log book or pass any safety standards for electrical and gas installation? Did you encounter any difficulties with insurance etc. Clearly these areas can be the spoilers of any conversion project. Thanks in anticipation!
Thanks a lot for your great content! We will most likely follow suit regarding the MWB Sprinter and quite a few design choices actually - I swear we had them before and didn't steal them, haha. So we're wondering what size you guys are for reference :) Not sure if I (6"2') could still stand upright when insulating properly as you did. If you find time to reply, this would be highly appreciated, thanks!
good to see you used slats for the bed, are they wood on wood? if so do you find they squeak? I found you need to put something between the wood base and the slat
Did you plan where the toilet and possible portable shower when starting your build?
Классное видео, спасибо.🙂👍
Look at a Lagun Table....you wont regret it..👍👍
Yeah we really want a Lagun table! Do you happen to know what the maximum weight that it can hold is?
@@gabeandpau2243 I think it’s about 20kg which is good, I don’t have a very big table top on it and I lean on my a lot and iv never had a problem... I got a good deal in mine, I paid £110 for it
