    19:54 I almost forgot to do this bit myself!ha..where your sat now mate, use some of your closed foam insulation to fill the floor ridge voids and then foil tape .. last thing you want is when it’s raining and open the back door for water to get under the floor 👍🏼 ..I’ll be honest too..I made not far off the same mistake as you with the floor where the ply joins!ha also big shout to Ella for the colour choices, itl look lovely 😊

    Great editing on this video! Van coming along well. From my own research.... At the minute I'm thinking that a vapor barrier is a good thing!

    Waffling bit made me laugh 😅 love your intro and edits in general! The batten throw and set up like a factory 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 (learning loads from you for our edits!!) - I reckon we took longer to insulate our floor 😂 had a smile throughout the whole video! Didn’t know that about the floor meeting in the middle at the back either - we ended up cutting the last piece as straight as we could and it just came up smaller but covered the width (if that makes sense?) - can so relate to the mess that gets made and the weather being all over the shop 😂 question: do you have note of where battens are for when floor is down and you’re fitting your furniture / bed and stuff or do you have all your measurements for that already done??? (Ps love Greg Virgoe also!!) - we’ve learned so much about the vapour barrier stuff - we also imitated him!
    Floor looks ruddy well great and you did them wheel arches clinically!! See you next week

      Awe thanks so much. I have a background in editing, from my former life, it helps. I'm stealing my edit ideas from camper vibe😂. Yeah the weather gets me down. Sick of it in this country. Looking forward to your next one. Is it today?

      Thank you 👍😁. I'm not sure. It's a Mercedes garage, a big one. They seem to be stripping down sprinters in the back. But are the sprinter and crafter seats not the same? 🤷‍♂️
