Wow, I have never seen such a clever layout before. And I've been watching a lot of van tours lately! Might have to copy this when I one day get a van!
What a lovely conversion. Lot's of great ideas and a I just love the colors. Thank you for your inspiration. Due to corona virus I will not be able to get started with my own build as planned. But your video makes it a lot easier to wait for better times and at the same time have something to be looking forward to. All the best from Germany - stay safe !
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, we hope that in better times you can continue with your van build. We are glad to have given you some inspiration, stay safe and keep well. All the best from wottiesvanlife
Well done folks, funny I am an Australian sitting spain designing a Iveco Daily into a camper with GF to travel throughout spain and europe. You gave us some great ideas, thank you.
Thank you, best of luck with your conversion and stay safe in Spain. We are hoping to convert another van in the future and travel Europe ourselves. Have fun 😎
Your van looks amazing! 😍There are so many great ideas in there. I love the beach look that came with the wood panels. Also, the slid-out seat at the back is a great addition, watching the sunset from their would be a dream. 🙂 We always debate on the pizza oven in our van which we are currently converting, and your video just triggered that conversation again. Let's see who will win! 😂
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, we are glad you like our van, the beachy wood effect was a lot of work but we felt it was worth it In the end, we love the cozyness of our little home on wheels. It's everything we need to be happy 😊
Very Cool Conversion. I was looking at various Vans and their dimensions and Your Van the Renault seams to be more appropriate for the use. Yeah I think you've got a practical functioning Van, very versatile. Thankyou for the Vid. Location looks awesome. Gold Coast ..?
Hey Peter, thanks for the compliments, our van fits our needs and we love the layout. The Renault master is popular now as Aus Post are now using them and we see other driving around too, at first ours seemed to be the only one in the roads here on the Gold coast. Thanks for watching.
2:15 love the jar idea but keep in mind that in case of a crash those jars will be propelled forward and become a very dangerous barrage of sturdy glass projectiles which will shatter on impact with the front seats, other pieces of furniture and most worryingly: the back of you lovely peoples heads... The surgeons at the hospital will have a jolly good time extraction the assorted mason jar bits from your skulls... I have seen the result of this type of quirky and practical way of storing first hand after I rolled up onto a camper van crash site first aiding those injured mainly from foreign object damage largely caused by the mason jar deceleration canon... I recommend you try to find soft plastic alternatives for the mason setup. I agree they are great, very handy, practical and safe a ton of space but they can be very dangerous and will cause crazy amounts of damage and injury... Not trying to be a safety nancy but I am trying to prevent you from getting skinned by quirky storage systems... The separating wall between the cab and the living space helps but it might be too little... please look into it...
Thank you for your passionate comment. It's not something we had thought about. We think in an event of a serious crash there are a number of things that would do us harm. Let's hope we never find out what they are. Thank you for watching our video. 🙂
Have a very happy Christmas and all the best to you 2 for 2021! I look any times to see if you have posted more videos! Your such nice fun people to watch! Your build of your home on wheels is second to none! I’ve watched many builds because in time l plan to do the same idea! Your build is absolutely incredible! Love sending from my husband and I from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 take care
Thank you mirko and we hope you guys had a great Christmas too. We have just started a 6 month road trip in Australia so we are hoping to get more time to make some more you tube videos. We enjoy making them. Your words are very kind. We tend to use Instagram a bit more and have a lot of content on there too. If we ever get to Canada we hope you have a large flat front lawn as we would need a park up. 😜 Have a great 2021 and thanks for your support.
@@Wottiesvanlife looking forward to seeing the videos! But no rush! Yes please when in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 stay at our front lawn! Have a wonderful long trip! Australia 🇦🇺 is absolutely beautiful! Love ❤️ one day to go there ! It’s on my husband and l bucket list! Lol take care yours truly from Julie and Mirko
Thanks Janine, our gas is a 7kg bottle housed in a sealed compartment vented on the side of the van and down through the floor. Our next build we probably won't have a big bottle though, even though we'd had no problems with it, I'd feel happier with the smaller gas cylinders in future. It's very economical though, we pay around $20 Aus each fill and only do the twice a year. Beats paying the gas company prices in a house. Thanks for you comment sorry took me a while to reply 👍
Wottiesvanlife - cool thanks for that - just wondering if there is a requirement for the venting externally or just through the floor - i’ve been searching for but haven’t found anything here in Qld in terms of guidance in this regard - haven’t checked with any experts as yet as van and starting the build are a few months off (more potentially with COVID!) i’m thinking of one of the sealed lockers in the cabinet which goes across where the sliding door is - gas stove on top - vented through the floor and but accessible only when the sliding door is open 4.5kg tank. Any advice or insights greatly appreciated. Cheers
As far as we know QLD law is the gas bottle has to be in a sealed cupboard and vented, accessible from the outside only but unless you're going to sell I suppose it's really up to you how you do your own 👍
Hi guys! Gorgeous van, just about to convert a Master, what oven/ hob combination have you got? Have you put any space for the heat to disperse when using it?
Hey Ross thanks for watching and subbing, we really appreciate it. The oven in this video is just a simple portable camp oven. You don't need a gas compliance certificate for it as it not hard pipe connected. You just have to be vigilant and turn the gas off when you have finished using it (not ideal) I put some fc sheeting on the cupboards around it to protect from heat. If you watch our updated video we have actually taken it all out now and don't have an oven at all as we found we didn't use it that often and we give the reasons why. Cheers
I love what you guys have done. Did you convert it yourselves? We are also currently converting our Renault Master and we are running into a few problems. For the ceiling panels we can’t seem to find anywhere to attach them to right at the back and right by the front because there are no horizontal beams.
Thank you. Yes we did convert it ourselves. We have changed the design a couple of times because it just didn't work for us. With the ceiling panel all I can suggest is maybe sikaflex some timber supports to the roof , that should give you a fixing point. Let us know your progress we are very interested. Good luck 👍
We are happy with our Renault master, had a few repairs but it is a 2012 model so to be expected. We don't have a shower in our van we decided it would take up too much space, we haven't missed having one and have plenty of places to shower available to us so we are sorted. Thanks for your interest.
Thx for quick reply, I understand the cargo height is 1894mm, adding the fan and floors, will it be too short to stand up straight? I am not very tall so shouldn't be a problem. (unless u have a different height for ur Renault)
The height of cabinets is 90cm the depth is 50cm. We have recently changed the kitchen as the one in the van tour video was getting a bit shabby. We are hoping to get a video of that up very soon Thank you so much for your interest. You can follow our adventures on Instagram aswell under the same name wottiesvanlife 😍
Hey, thanks for watching. Its a fiamma F65s. Its 3.5 metres in length. We didnt use it much in the first year but use it a lot now. It works better if you have the legs tied to the ground rather than the van clips. You also have to keep an eye on it in windy conditions.
Thanks Jennifer, day use areas are everywhere but over night parking is illegal here so lots of stealth camping or driveway surfing or bush camping cheap is our favourite. In Australia where we are we are not as lucky with the legislation on free camping in our area.

The rear slide-out table / seat is a brilliant idea and really well done. I hope you guys are proud of your van - you definitely should be.
Thank you for your kind comment. We love our van and are very proud of it. Although we are always looking to improve certain parts. 🙂
This is the most unique build I've seen. Your kitchen is great and you've decorated which is rare from what I've seen. Love it!!!
Wow thanks, we love the decor, we wanted something homely yet beach too.
@@Wottiesvanlife you were successful. It's beachy shabby chic. I loved it. 🙂
Wow, I have never seen such a clever layout before. And I've been watching a lot of van tours lately! Might have to copy this when I one day get a van!

hi Alison and Mark , ive been looking forward to the tour of your van , well worth the wait .safe travels.
Wonderful, thanks for your encouragement x
I love your build. The small details are brilliant. And your accent is so soft and pretty.
Love the rear seating area what a fab idea👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you and cheers for watching 👍
well thought out, like the rear slide out
Thanks, we love it, it gets used a lot, it's especially handy as the doors act as a wind break or a sunshade, so we can sit comfortably.
Creativity overload! 👌👌
Thanks Maria, lots of hard work but well worth it x
A beautiful van, I love your colour scheme. Thanks for showing us.Happy Travels.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words 😃

Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch, we appreciate it 🙂
Bellissimo ....buon viaggio e tante belle cose dall italia......
That rear table/seat is a great idea!
Thanks we did actually see something similar on another van build so we thought we'd put our own twist on it. It works well!
Always heard of putting a cooking stone inside the oven to prevent burning. Then you can bake anything
I love this van
Thank you 🙂
Some of us use the bowls for RV use like that too.
Great tour 👍👌
Thank you
Thanks so much for your kind comment x
Thanks, it's our first ever Vlog so that means a lot! Its certainly harder than it looks
Stunning well organised practical home you have made. Love it well done . Great job on your video presentation also. Sooooo much storage .
So beautiful!! Love everything about it!! Seriously, very lovely!
Thank you very much 🙏
Love the seating area out the back!! I'm sure that gets a lot of use. Hope to catch up on the road some time...
Thank you. Yes it does, we use it at every opportunity! We love it. If you ever around the Goldie send us s message 🙂
@@Wottiesvanlife we will!!
Well done guys, what a awesome build! Nice one.
Thank you 🙂
Nice van. Love the East to West facing bed 😜. I have the same van. Similar setup with fixed bed/storage below. Stay safe.
Loads of storage under a fixed bed, so handy. Thanks for commenting, stay safe too x
Great set up guys
Cheers mate
Wow I just love the colors & decor this is one of my favorite vans 😍
Thank you very much. We really appreciate your kind words 🙂
Very Cool!

Great van, I’ve one similar here in the uk 👍😉
Thank you. Would love to see some pics of your van 🙂
Wottiesvanlife , 😊 will do 👍
Wow love it x
Thanks glad to hear that you love our van tour. It's changed a bit huh. Xx
Very impressed, so ingenious and tasteful. Well done. Is that a Dorset accent?
Not as far south as Dorset, it's a country accent though for sure. I'm Bedfordshire raised so my accent is from there.
Great ideas! Just bought a 2013 master, will definitely use some of your layout :) How does it go in cold weather?
Hey thank you! We are based in Queensland Australia so we don't get to cold. It's a great van though, you won't be disappointed 🙂
I’m interested to know about your gas set up - great build, the colours and the cladding are awesome!!
Thanks Janine, our gas is a 7kg bottle housed in a sealed compartment vented on the side of the van and down through the floor.

Hi pls upload the van lay out and how much it cost ya?

Great van, also considering the Renault, any comments on whether it is a good running vehicle? One thing I missed, where is the shower? Thx
