Impressed with the attention to detail of Steve and Titan Boat Canopy. Looking forward to seeing the completed project.
Thanks, there really does seam to be a higher standard with the company
That was a well good job . They are the best at making covers.
Great company
Personally I would put it horizontal if space allows under the bed as that will make bleeding of air easier. Also use compression fittings rather than the hose tails which are on tank at moment. It will probably work out cheaper and less likely to leak.
That's very interesting tha k you for all your advice, it seams we're going with it vertically but it has come with it'd problems
My your canopy will be grand good luck on install hope you get that hot water soon luv from the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍
Thank you, the hot water is progressing slowly but we should be there in the next weeks with it fingers crossed , have a lovely week oldies ❤️
Love you pair always happy and bubbly. Best wishes in all that you would do xx
Thank you for tuning in 😊 xx
Don't let anyone tell you how to fit out your boat.
Remember, it's yours and Becca's boat and whatever you do will be right and the way you need it to be.
Be well, take good care of yourselves ~ Hugs, Lacy, Mike & Hamish🤗💕🐾
Bless you guys Thank you, we always take everyones opinions in mind but at the end of the day we have to do what feels right, thank you so much for all the love and support ❤️❤️
We went with Titan, very impressed with the Quality and we went for black out covers as well as a couple of midge panels one at the front canopy and one at the back canopy. 👍🏼
lovely company... they know what there talking about
Enjoy your day .
Have a great day buddy 😀
I think I'd mount the calorifier horizontally, with a bed or seating overtop. You'd get the benefit of some radiated heat to the bed, the piping would be easier to run and hide alongside or possibly under the floor without having to open all the wall panels, it would be a more secure mount with the weight kept lower down in the boat, and it would take up less usable space. Just my 2¢. The covers should be a great addition from a quality company.
there seems top be quite alot of people suggesting that, it is still an option but I do think were heading the vertical route.it would be more secure for sure. thanks James
The secureness will be the same for either position if properly installed. Personally I'd go for horizontal. Cheers from Bali.@@TheNomadicCrobot
It will be great to have new cratch covers. Titan looks like a great company. I have no idea about the calorifier but would definitely go for what would allow you the most space. HOT WATER!!!! YEAH!
😊 🤗 Kathy
Thank you Kathy, we're so excited for out new covers and getting very very close to fi ally having hot water yayyyy
Hi Becca and Chris, call me slow but it just occurred to me you have basically been camping for the last 3 years🤔. Hot water and a finished bathroom will end the camping and begin the boating. I have the dreaded Covid and your video made my day thank you ❤️.
haaaaa your spot on...weve just been camping really havent we. the hot water cant be long now...very very exciting, sending you anti covid hugs try and have a lovely week ❤️❤️
Looks like it’ll be a quality canopy. Hopefully it won’t come into contact with any bridges.
exactly....or maybe ill juts let Bex drive 😂😂
A two for one video! So happy about both!
things are starting to pick up a bit after a lazy few weeks 😂😂
I thought this would be an episode about “Beccas”😀.
Get cruising Lads
Need to get crusing its getting silly now
Who would have thought they make 'oover vaccuum machines and cratch covers. FABULOUS.
exactly what we were thinking 😂😂
Titan- that name alone should tell you just how awesome this will be. 😂They seems to make a quality product, with alot of attention to the details . With proper maintenance it will last a long time. I'm sure you'll be happy with your new cratch
exactly 😂😂they really have a great service and attention to detail...well worth looking into them... fingers crossed we dont rip this one 😂😂
You sure you understood all that Chris ??? lol the way you nodded your head and smiled wasn’t convincing ! Lol you always make me laugh. Can’t wait for the new covers made by Titan !!! How apt ! Love you guys see ya next week !!! Xxxx
wasn't it 😂😂 I just nod and hope for the best 😂😂 were very excited for these new covers they seam like a really great company , have a lovely week xxxx
Things are starting to look good on the Wombat, new covers and hot water soon. You'll be ready to go cruising soon
hopefully....its been a bit of a slow start to the new year but were starting to get into the pace again, thank you
Have just watched Canice Bannon starting to fit a calorifier horizontally on his Dutch Barge. Cheers from Bali.
Oh woaw I'll have to take a look thanks for the heads up
This was a massive one! Both a calorifier (?) and canopy. Looking forward to the next episode where I hope you solve it
Thanks Rolf...its been a slow start to the year but things are starting to pick up , have a lovely week
Thanks for sharing. Looks to be very nice cover. Best wishes, D
Thank you ❤️
Tanky wanky and big trains were are we going 🤣🤣🤣 yo Becks if you screw into that wall put some no more nails on it as well that will go knowers and build a frame round it them covers look top Steve defo knows his onions when it comes to covers ..Have a Top week guys 🙂🎸🔧✌️
well I couldn't help my self...its his nick name now 😂😂Yes the covers look really great so far, were well chuffed with Titan have a lovely week
Hiya consider putting your clarifier under the bed may be that could hide it and give you more room great videos..
it was an option though we feel we may have more space with it upright at the end?? the quest continues
Oh we’ve missed you guys!! Glad yr both ok. Another brilliantly entertaining vlog as usual. “Bex in the box”! Bex you’re hilarious! You both are. Massive hugs guys 🫂 ❤❤❤
I tried to buy you guys a coffee but couldn’t find the link so bought super thanks instead. 😃😃
bless you for the coffee Estelle so kind of you, Bex in the box could have its own mini series 😂😂 hope your well and have a lovely week ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheNomadicCrobot
Defo sounds like a good idea for a mini series for sure lol. Hope you both have a lovely week Chris, keep smiling 😃
Have you thought about having a Murphy bed as it will save space and make you live in a tight space.
that would be a really great idea, wonder how hard they are to build
According to RUclips it is straight forward, ideally you have your own height and your partner’s get a matteres to fit and you are nearly there.
Hi Becca, Chris, seems ages since your last Pocast. Great to see both again, and good to see your exciting updates. You made a comment about a mis-spelling on the Clarifier instruction paper, so I am not too sure if the following was deliberate.You spelt Analysis (on screen graphic) wrong (no N) !!!!!! Love the way it was decided that Becca would install the Clarifier. Liked that Becca was sat in her office (OK Box) working out her game plan. Becca looked really cosy in the box. The Titan factory was amazing. It's very clever how the cratch covers are made, and what a great product they look. Steve was fantastic explaining the process. Glad you got your Nobbly bits OK. Great that Chris assisted in mapping out the bed area size. Loving as always the editing and great sound effects. I was expecting to see the engine when you took the covers off the wall? Excellent Vlog as always. Take care. All the best Spoolbox.
we have had a very slow start to the year unfortunately but things are building up, oh....thats probably a mistake on my behalf..well done noticing. Becca is always hatching a plan on how to get us going bless her. Thank you so much for not getting getting bored of us yet 😂 have a lovely week ❤️
So Steve did all the measurements without his glasses... I bet that got you worried 😂
That's a very good point 😅🤣
Great to see how the cratch covers are made and that its a local company you are using. Cant wait to see them on the Wombat ❤ i wonder what colour you are going for .....and Chris got to say Wanky Tanky again 😂😂😂
any excuse Lisa 😂😂 were still choosing our colours but were thinking maybe something quite similar...hmmmmm?
Wow! It's going to be amazing, dudes. Hot water will be such a luxury guys. Springs around the corner..❤
Cheers Will its been a long time coming, I cant wait to stop having to boil the kettle to do the washing up 😂😂
@@TheNomadicCrobot 🤣🤣
I'm jealous. Hot water in my wee camper van! Sigh just a pipe dream. Love your channel always brings a smile and a giggle. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your own adventure 😀
I am very restricted for space, so opted for a Horizontal Tank. If you are going to have a bed also, a Vertical install may restrict you somewhat.
I have used JG push fittings, and all looks good.
Have fun.
Love the Cratch cover by the way. Yes Chris, i did say 'Cratch'
Thanks for sharing. We are thinking now that horizontal may be the way forward if I can make it work in the space we have. Yes I've heard JG are good, as are Hep20 push fittings too. Thanks so much! Haha; 😂
Under the bed out the way 😊
everyone seams to be suggesting this
Fab editing bro🎉
Cheers dude 😃
Put it under the bed guys, it'll keep you warm in winter!
alot of people saying to go with this way
Great start to the vid. love that crash but still cant work out how they are going to fit the Armco Barrier's on the Crash covers😂
haha now that would have been a really great shout...maybe ill just let Bex drive
Great🎉 live vlog 1000 out of 10🎉❤
Thank you Simon thanks for joining us on the live stream
@@TheNomadicCrobot I loved every second of it. Can't wait for the next one
Did you concider putting the tank horizontal and build your bed on top?
it was an option...but we really wanted to get it in the cupboard at the back
I'm beginning to think that the Wombat may become the Titan. Or Titanic, maybe. Now there's a theme you can play on! You could even paint it in White Star Lines colours, complete with the classy gold hull stripe.
noooooo....dont say that 😂😂 we need good luck 😂
Just lay down, no spiders there. 🤣
they could crawl down from anywhere 😂😂
Knobely bits...what about flanges?
well thats a whole new story
Fantastic we ha back & front recent from titain the best ❤
They really do put alot of detail into there covers ❤️
Thanks
Titan Boat Canopy vs The Mighty Titan Vacuum!
Hopefully they get along.
they will both have to learn to get on with each other 😂😂
😂
Great video guys. It's all starting to come together. Yay. Those covers are going to be gorgeous, proper quality gear. Excited to see them installed. PS It's Mick aka Shorey Life. Gone back to doing what I like best, fishing haha, but im still your number one stalker, I mean fan. Cheers guys
haha oh awesome so what your not bothering with van life stuff anymore??? thanks for watching g dude ...the new covers are gonna rock
@TheNomadicCrobot Still doing it as and when I can, just don't get to get away as much I'd hoped. Still keeping the channel going, but for just as a when. More like a diary haha. Cheers
That's a good idea, I'd be very tempted to try some van life one day...I'll start the Titan to the roof 🤣🤣
@@TheNomadicCrobot hahahaha do it 😉
We will take you guys with us,
What could possibly go wrong🤔
can we come....please???
We are looking for a cover or our noarrowboat lunar will definitely be taking advantage of the 10 % discount offer 😊 how long is the offer on as not really ready for one at the minute still loads to do inside.
They seem to be a really great company, im not sure there is a dead line really, but give us a shout if you have any problems
Well that went well
bit better than usual
@@TheNomadicCrobot just
The higher you have the bed the closer you are to the spiders Chris
thats a very very good point 😭😭
Well Chris is definitely not compitent. 😊
exactly 😂
What about insulating the tank to keep warm & the water pipes that can freeze like the canal. Could anything go wrong ?
The tank actually has insulation around it - the blue stuff is a layer of insulation, but we also have some insulation jackets which I was planning to pop round it once it's in place too to keep it nice and warm. The pipes should be ok internally in terms of freezing I think... Thanks for your comment 😊
Why wouldn’t you mount cylinder horizontally under the bed, as it would then give you space for a small wardrobe, and help keep the mattress dry in winter, I’ve also noticed my bed doesn’t feel as cold in winter as the other bedrooms on my boat that don’t have clarifier,
thats a very good idea, I think the idea of having it standing would be so that it would have its separate space and we could use the under bed for storing clothes
@@TheNomadicCrobot would it not be easier to access clothes in a wardrobe rather than having to lift mattress, plus you still have the option to mount draws under the bed as tank can be mounted under the bed under the window, you can adjust the ballast to allow for the weight of water in tank.
Looking at your tank you still have 3/4 space under bed for storage, but then you’d have a wardrobe as well, which is always useful, even if it’s just for storing your coats in, or the occasional ball gown 🤔🤣😂
10 min in and no problems👍
whats going on hey???
And there was me thinking you were getting a cover for your vac
now there's a great idea 😂😂
I am almost fainting here
The series of bolts points to a tank with liquids
Do not unbolt in my opinion, this could cause you problems as any unbolting will cause a leak not easily fixed and will need some enormous fitting solution
no we won't be unbolting anything important...just adding to the tank so that we can run the piping down, supposedly it quite straight forward
Nobody uses Captain Chris as a “Template” not on my watch!…🤣… good informative video👍
😂 its not fair is it 😂😂
under the bed for more leg room.
its a valid point
Is that calorifier suitable for mounting vertically, it looks like a horizontal mount model. Personally, I would mount it horizontally under the bed.
the website said it was fine for ether or, but there's have said that too
@@TheNomadicCrobot fair enough, it was difficult to see the pipe setup in the video. I’m sure you know, cold water is normally fed in from the bottom and hot water comes of the top. Also having the cold water inlet at the bottom allows you to drain it down easier, should the need arise. Another great video by the way, keep up the good work 👍
thats interesting, Bex thinks she has here head around it as we were going to get someone in to help, supposedly there not to hard to do, originally we wanted it in the engine back so opted for one we could mount ether way, but alot of people have said this...its a bit worrying ,fingers crossed
@@TheNomadicCrobot I’m sure Bex is all over it. I can only assume if the cold water inlet is on the top that the pipe extends down inside to the bottom of the tank, that would allow it to be mounted in either orientation. I’ve not seen one like that before, every day’s a school day, as they say 👍
Is that not a horizontal tank
Xx
Pllllllsssss make an episode where you both talk like in the
Lord of the rings. 😅😅
now there's an idea😂
I was about to message you guys wondering where you were, keep me hanging like this, LOL. While you’re at Screw Fix can you please grab me 6 screws so I can mount my bedroom TV to the wall please, we’ve been in this house since October and constantly forget to buy them. That water thing, that I can’t spell the name of, looks complicated and Chris you know 100% more about it than I do. The cute little garden gnomes in its box needs to have pride of place. Is your cover going to cover the back so you can stand under cover while driving in the rain? That would be a must for for me, poor Henri was the one who always got soaked, I decided then that’s what I’d have. Very exciting guys thanks heaps for taking us along. I guess asking for 90 minute vlog is out of the question. See you soon and take care. 💕
its been a bit of a slow month really, maybe we over did it just before Christmas, haha oh no really....good luck with the telly. the tank is actually meet to be very bright forward according to other boaty neighbours but will see.yes your right...the back cover will act as a rain cover or evern a sun shield and weve been told they come down very fast for bridges too. sorry we will start posting more regularly once were moving take care ❤️❤️
@@TheNomadicCrobot. You never have to say sorry to me as you two bring me so much pleasure, thus wanting to be flooded with Crobot videos.
Is that not a horizontal tank
it is but it can be used both ways ..well thats what it said on the website
What does it say on the destructions that came with the tank?@@TheNomadicCrobot
I will have to take a 2nd look I think, on the destructions....I like that 🤣
@@TheNomadicCrobot I’m not trying to be rude but it looks like mine and it’s a horizontal.
Tanky wah? 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
cool vid
Thanks 😀
come on guys why has it taken you this long i realy want to see you finish this reterb nobody takes nearly 3 years to referb a narrowboat
It has taken a huge amount of time your not wrong, I Imagine if we were both very knowledgeable on a boat rebuild and worked every day on it it would have gone alot quicker, noone wants it finished more than us, it's been a very hard process unfortunately 😕
To late you lost me i subscribed to Rosie and Jim now
I don't blame you 🤣
Thanks
Thank you for this, your support has been unreal we really appreciate the love ❤️
