Awesome, thank you mate , we all build our own way i think . im just happy when things are simple and just work , there is no right or wrong way if it works its all good , thanks for watching mate
Yer man there isn’t much left to do . I’d have it done in no time but some days ya just can’t be arsed can you . You wake up with all good intention and then think bugger it . Then add weather and it’s a bad mix of this is going to take longer lol . But I’ll give it a good push over the next few weeks and get it finished (he says )
@@UrbanVanlife going by what we have on youtube weve just battened, in real life where i can get on with it because im on furlaugh, im alot further, Bed is built, cladding is done, upper cabinets are built, gas tank is on order. floor is down. Really enjoying it, next thing to do is the bench seat i think!
Love it mate, great video and a great bit work 👊🏻 I need to put a vent in my cupboard where the boiler is, you've just reminded me 😅 Can't wait to get on a video together 🤙🏻🔥🚐
yer man i seen bob virgin fit one to his and thought hmm thats a good idea to do even tho its not in a fully sealed unit , its always good to have some air flow , but again saying that we will have drop out vents for the gas so it will probably get more than enough air for the fans out of there , so i really would think twice to be honest mate iv just thought of that now and thinking hmmmm should i have really added the vent ? may be not , and arnt videos addictive
Brilliant van build!!! Discovered you through urban motorhomer, travel trolls etc . . . You get about a bit!!! Anyway, really loving your presentation etc, “ An Idiots Guide To Van Build “ . . . Not that your an idiot, that’s my department!! That’s why I ordered a new 2022 Autotrail Exhibition 67 with a pop top for next March. Never had anything new with 4 wheel or 2 wheels come to think of it!!! Keep up the good work, all the best, me (Carl), The Mrs (Jackie) & Daisy (Dog) 😃😃😃
Thank you guys, we love our van it's just right for us, the autotrail Exhibition 67 looks very tidy, you'll have some fantastic adventures in it, especially like the all in one wet room element in it!
Yer man 3 key thing title ( make it compelling )thumbnail make it click worthy so peopel need to know what’s going on . 3 channel design set it up like it was a shop that people want to time in to bud . Also worth doing derrals first 30day challenge as well you’ll see good results
Looks great. Way to utilize that small area so that it can be storage too. Your color scheme is wonderful. Maybe a brighter contrasting color for the cushions? I dunno. I'm not an interior designer lol. Sure seems like you've built this van out super fast. It's really coming along great!!
Yer we are thinking the same some thing bright and colourful might be the way forward . And it’s not got long to go now guys . Hopefully we can get to some places like the ones you guys get to soon .
no mate its at its lowest point and can swivel round ,, but to be honest we where not going to fit one and got it free so just fitted it any way and its handy to turn on its side to strech your legs out on the other seat , but good comment tho mate ,
It's ALWAYS one of those days! As for the costume change, no one notices continuity changes the important thing is that it gets done (eventually, somehow...)
I know it's a year ago .but still catching up o your build ..Can I ask did you have any problems cutting the fancy board ..like chips etc ...made it look easy ..now I think I should give it a try ..but its not cheap to take a gamble ...When done again..all the hard work pays of with the details...
Hi ! love the accent . I'm from Oregon., I'm sure I have a slight something , an accent to you also . neat. I'm assuming it's an Irish accent ? I can pretend to be Irish or whatever lol I'm the comedian around here . I'm also a 51 yr old woman who isn't afraid of getting dirty and working hard . So I have purchased a 1993 Dutchman , no apparent leaks , very remarkable considering the age of the RV.. So I should be more specific , thus far ,the ceiling has shown no signs of water damage from a previous leak and no signs that one might be starting . With that being said , last winter was when I bought her , she did however leak a slight amount during terenchal downpours from the front vent over the kitchen and the vent rhat is directly over the bathroom. ( it really leaked( being on a limited budget) , it was just cheaper to buy some water resistant E6000. so far so good.
I have gutted my travel trailer . this is my first one . my objective is to " Flip" tiny homes are the rage rn . As I got into this thing and not only remodel but have to live in also been very challenging .. you have to have an imagination and somewhat of a deep pocket book. I have TWO REALLY BIG QUESTIONS FOR YOU , hoping you can help #1 wanting to build a bench seat half the size it was . looks simple enough howver I have pipes that go up against the wall I will need to compensate for . I don't want it to look like a second grader gave it try . I want it to be multi functional . like yours hold storage , use as a seat or a placd to rest . nothing fancy just doable and estically decent looking
Hi Jenny so sorry to hear about all the issues you have had, we think the first thing you need to do is take the trailer to someone who has knowledge of this parasite and get the trailer fumigated and then see if it’s salvageable. We have no experience with this sort of thing so really don’t know how to even start with suggestions other than that, and will keep our fingers crossed for you. We wouldn’t be putting any time or work in until we knew it was possible as parasites and things like that can be dangerous, please get it checked x
if you take a look here mate and go in to ELECTRICAL OR VAN STYING there in ther bud , i im not sure if there cheep or dear to be honest i woundlt rely know but they do look kind of nice , www.amazon.co.uk/shop/urbanexplorer
Hi buddy if you are asking about the black trim on the side step and the step into the van there’s a link to it on the Amazon store under van styling, hope this helps
Hey, what is that great vinyl material you use on the sides of the bench and above the driver / passenger seat? Do you have a link to the website where you can order material like that? I painted my benches but the paint scuffs easily.
You know in 1987 I had the 1976 VW Camper Van Westfalia pear green. I had no respect back then. Those were the best of times, though. Partying in Florida, nights out on the beach and waking up in the camper with four guys who'd been farting beer bombs all night.
Well....it's not bad Neil, but do you think it would be better if you'd made it slide out at the top so you can use it as a small bed or big settee, perhaps.?? If you do it, can you make an update type video for us, please? Thanks mate.. 😉👍🛠
I’m trying to work out how big the seat is going off the Truma!lol thought I’d just ask instead 🧐 like you know mate I’m still in the planning stage and have pages of drawings but keep coming back to this layout! I was thinking about 1300x700 deep for the sofa👍🏼
@@UrbanVanliferewatching this again now on the new channel!lol saw my old comment 👍🏼 what’s that mini circular saw your using mate? Could be macallister from the colour not sure ..looks handy and I want one for my tool collection🤩
If you pop in to my amazon shop mate it’s in there . In the van styling section . Links are in the description of the vid and on the right of my channel banner on the yputube home page as well mate . They come in diffrent sizes . And man there really grippy as well
If you are asking about the laminated furniture board its Italian zebrano from UKleisureparts.co.uk, at the time of purchase it was cheaper than most of the other lightweight laminate ply out there from other suppliers.
second , there is some sort of PARASITE that came w this . it's been a problem not just for the trialer but for me personally . been to the doctor more times than I want to omit over this whatever it is . I have a pic I took this afternoon . it came right out of the wood like I was watching a bad B rated horror flick . I had a rollet brush full of egg shell white paint semi gloss , and it appeared. just one pass over . Gross . I'm a native Oregonian . Never seen or dealt w anything like this nussance . I'm embarrassed to say that it has found its way under my skin even , can't get rid of it ? I've tried just about everything . I'm not a coo coo bird . have you ever ran into this issue. w any kind of parasite ? I was foolish I'm sure for buying tgid old of a trailer , I'm trying to recoup money and keep my head above water . I think we are all feeling tge gas prices and the cost of living as high as it is.. I live In Beautiful Newport Oregon . the Central Oregon Coast . if that helps at all . I'm hoping you h as e some words of wisdom for me . sincerely , not a quitter Jenny
Watch here how we fitted our swivel seats ruclips.net/video/Q657mkT5GP8/видео.html
Defo giving Mr Virgo a run for his money this very simply explained van build perfect well done 👍🏻
Awesome, thank you mate , we all build our own way i think . im just happy when things are simple and just work , there is no right or wrong way if it works its all good , thanks for watching mate
urban explorer must agree with the comment too, well earned ✅
Couldn't agree more.. 👊🏻 like Virgoe but with personality 😉😆😆😆👊🏻
The finish line is nearly there Neil, nice job on the seat set up too. ✅
yer tis not far off now mate , the only think hold in us back now is weather and a few parts we are still waiting for ,
Really good solid bit of joinery sir, van is starting to look nearly there and not far off the finishing line
Yer man there isn’t much left to do . I’d have it done in no time but some days ya just can’t be arsed can you . You wake up with all good intention and then think bugger it .

yer man im bored of all the covid argumants on there so i dived off for a bit
urban explorer don’t blame u mate 🤙🏻
Well done :) looks very nice!
Thank you very much!
#Solid.
Looking awesome brother.
Color Suggestion: charcoal Grey.
nice choice , but i think it could be to much grey in the van , I did actually mention that to emma but then agreed it could be to much
@@UrbanVanlife fair point. Maybe lime green? Oh wait. Thats one of my favorites.

Looking really good, my friend! Just wondering if the bench's location renders the driver swivel seat unnecessary?
no mate its at its lowest point and can swivel round ,, but to be honest we where not going to fit one and got it free so just fitted it any way and its handy to turn on its side to strech your legs out on the other seat , but good comment tho mate ,
It's ALWAYS one of those days! As for the costume change, no one notices continuity changes the important thing is that it gets done (eventually, somehow...)
Somehow is right . And I love a costume change . But Jeff the jigsaw lol

if you use fine tooth metal blades mate youll be fine they cut a lot nicer and you get a lovely finish .

Looking nice mate with all the furniture around.
How much space will be left for the kitchen and the shower you think ?
i will be able to walk to the bed area normally with the space mate , we designed it so its my width wide down the walk bit
@@UrbanVanlife Fair enough, seems very promising.

Hi buddy if you are asking about the black trim on the side step and the step into the van there’s a link to it on the Amazon store under van styling, hope this helps
None slip not Blavatsky
Shocking bright pink?
Just a thought 😇
hahahahhahaa and that sir would be a NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hey, what is that great vinyl material you use on the sides of the bench and above the driver / passenger seat? Do you have a link to the website where you can order material like that? I painted my benches but the paint scuffs easily.
It’s 15 mm laminated ply we got full sheets of it when we where building the van ukleisureparts.co.uk/product/grey-zebrano-lightweight-ply/
Is that just vinyl that goes on top of the wood?
No it’s furniture board
You know in 1987 I had the 1976 VW Camper Van Westfalia pear green. I had no respect back then. Those were the best of times, though. Partying in Florida, nights out on the beach and waking up in the camper with four guys who'd been farting beer bombs all night.
hahahahah thats an epic story man
Well....it's not bad Neil, but do you think it would be better if you'd made it slide out at the top so you can use it as a small bed or big settee, perhaps.?? If you do it, can you make an update type video for us, please? Thanks mate.. 😉👍🛠
haahhahahaahah hmmm good idea
is there a worry of the wood being too heavy? Might be getting my first project van soon.
We have just upgraded our van to 4.3ton so we have loads of weight to spare now
I’m trying to work out how big the seat is going off the Truma!lol thought I’d just ask instead 🧐 like you know mate I’m still in the planning stage and have pages of drawings but keep coming back to this layout! I was thinking about 1300x700 deep for the sofa👍🏼
sorry man iv just seen this , been up the wall with stuff ill go out and measure up for you and put it in here

What board is that you used?
If you are asking about the laminated furniture board its Italian zebrano from UKleisureparts.co.uk, at the time of purchase it was cheaper than most of the other lightweight laminate ply out there from other suppliers.
I say black cushions.
May be mate be sir
You remembered to shoot B Roll :) Keep it muted colors.
What are muted colours mate
@@UrbanVanlife Toned down colors like you see in the wood you are using.
So town down the colours .
