    I'm an electrician and you have both done a great job 👌 Me and my wife started going for walks after discovering you and now we want a camper van 🤣

      Hi Brad, Do it, build your own. Your an electrician so your used to drilling, cutting etc. lots of help on RUclips. I'm a Kitchen/shopfitter (or was) I build my own. Save a fortune. Don't dream. Do.👍

    Little tip. When cutting wood with a saw, tuck your thumb into your hand alongside your fingers. It may save your lass’s thumb.

    Nice job there but think about putting a solar system on the roof in the future so make a hole and pass a cable before you close the cyling .

    Me again Paul I am enjoying watching your Campervan build, I’ve got a old 1996 Hymer I’ve had it for about 12 years it’s been great but you seem to always spending money on it and when I see all the builds on RUclips and what you can do I would do what your doing so keep it up and enjoy it once you’re done and traveling about doing a bit of wild camping up here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so big thumbs up to you and your misses 👍👍👏👏🚍

    Hi Paul and wife (forgot your name sorry) are you fitting Solar panel?. Just a thought before you finish the ceiling and Batteries/electrics. If not, you should consider being a wild camping couple. Go anywhere without worry of power. Van looking cool, not a lover of the cladding myself, but seems a popular choice, probably for it's easy fit etc. Glad you're not boring us with the video length like some do.To the point content. Quality as always⭐️👍

  • @daisythecamperb9883
    @daisythecamperb9883 3 года назад +1

    Great job , the only comment I would make is you can get cladding clips which avoids all the visible screws .
    Look at cladding clips on Wickes website.
    Paul .

  • @AndreasHontzia
    @AndreasHontzia 3 года назад +1

    This is looking great! A very good choice for the lights. If you want to do yourself a favor, make a rough wiring diagram, so that if you have some repairs to do, you can look up the wires on paper and don't have to pull the wood off the walls.

    @seancooper5953 3 года назад +3

    Have you checked how hot the back of the lights get? As they are pushed against plastic sheeting there is a risk of melting it. Maybe need to put heat resistant tape on the sheet before pushing the lights in. Just a thought in case they get too hot.
