This is the FINALE to our van prep series, and we are more than excited to start our next series: winding our way around the stunning coast of Wales and finishing in picturesque North Wales 🚐💨🏴 To those who watched all the way to the end... what do you all think of the name? 🕺🏼
Adriana, you should be on the stage! I am sure you ould manage a one person talk show. Love the way you describe your van - so much more interesting than the usual van life descriptions. Keep us smiling and looking forward to your next video. Cheers from Down Under.
Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you!! Hehe we loved our van so much - it’s like a member of the family now 😍 can’t wait to see what adventures we go on!
Love the “house” tour! It looks very homey. It’s funny that desserts never leave you guys with the donuts you have. To save on water, you can add an aerator so the water coming out is a mist when you are washing your hands or dishes. To save time and money on laundry, a merino wool shirt can save you on laundry. I can bring three shirts on a trip without needing to wash it as it is anti microbial so it stays clean. The only thing missing in your van is a pet! Can’t wait to see your European adventures! Elton is very British. Love it!
Guys your conversion is awesome. Lot's of wonderful memories await you both. Just converted my own van and if I can make a suggestion that you box in your gas bottle and seal it with the facility of a drop air vent to mitigate risk and also allow ventilation to the battery system. Enjoy your future together 👍👍👍
I love the van. One of the best conversions I have seen. There are so many good things that I love. Especially the fridge. Looks great and works without the inverter. Having the second battery will be worthwhile when winter comes. I also like that it doesn't have a bathroom. That would spoil the open spacious appearance. (Some conversions just look so crowded). I reckon the manual gearbox is probably a good idea too. Although I like autos, the manual will be more economical and probably more reliable over time. Looking forward to Wales.
Well, Day One and this makes it 3 of your videos, one after the other. I like the van a lot, especially the "directional" aspect to the solar panels. I have a new caravan bought last year so I am not in the market for a camper van or a motorhome just yet, but your video gives food for thought. Next year we hope not to live full-time in our van but to camp in our caravan for 100+ nights. I was impressed. And you are clearly VERY enthusiastic about it all. CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you both enjoy the freedom it will give you in the years to come.
Love, love, love your van! Cannot believe how much storage you have and how cosy and homely it looks. I am sure you will have many wonderful adventures in Elton - a perfect name for a perfect van. Enjoy every moment x
WOW! I honestly dont think there is a more perfect van layout ever. And that includes ours 😂 The features James included are incredible, what an amazing space that must be to live in!
Great build , great video and best of luck. I'd be picking up a spare engine and putting it into storage if you had the means . That van will last you many many years.
Wow wow wow! ❤❤❤ the van is incredible. I’m blown away by the practicality but it / he still looks cute & comfy. I have never seen so many great ideas packed into such a small space. ❤❤❤ We love the name too! Great tour - spectacular van Rachel & David
FANTASTIC, today's van tour!! So many amazing details everywhere, so well thought through, so utterly homey and beautiful! BRAVO to James the Builder and BRAVO to you who live so well there! And yes, I just LOVE "Elton" - such a perfect fit!🤓
hey guys:) love the van and love the name! I have been watching van life/nomad videos for like 2 years now and love the concept. It is really well thought out and has a great layout. The bumpouts for the bed area make a big difference from what i have seen in a lot of videos. I hope you have a great time traveling !
@@2Passports1Dream i am glad you are happy! BTW, that was me in the IG message earlier in case it doesn't show up as the same name as here or something:)
Awesome. I watched the video when you guys got the van... Was soo awesome to see how you settled everything in the van... I would LOOOVEEE to live in a van like yours.. ❤️ Enjoy your adventures😍
You guys found a every well thought out camper van. You guys are so proud of ELTON, with good reason! Watch some of the camper van build videos on RUclips to see how they compare. Happy for you two.
Kudos for the hard work but a good, functional campervan starts with a comfy bed and a bathroom. You have a short bed, no bathroom and a toilet in the dining room!?! That makes it just a kitchen-dinner on wheels for short weekend trips, but the finishing is stunning.
A short bed for short people, we fit perfectly and it's seriously one of the best beds we've slept in! Actually the dining table is in the bathroom - just how we like it ;)
Haha, answered a lot of questions we had! We assumed you had it all figured out, which is why we didn't ask about your toilet situation, but glad you have a solution! Love the name. Have a blast, Love you guys!
Elton Van! Very cool & excited to see your travels. First though, Dylan our condolences on the passing of your grandfather. Difficult for sure, but glad you were closer to home rather than in Asia at this time so you can be with family.
@@2Passports1Dream Do inspect the wirings connections for loose contacts and corrosion periodically as they are subjected to a lot vibrations from driving and moisture. Loose connections can cause arcing and potential fires.
Looks like a really good set up. All the comforts of home. Very impressed with your electronics. Nice to be able to use a microwave & coffee machine. Safe travels & thanks for sharing 😃👍
That is such a well thought out and built camper van with so many little details. The pop out lockable door handles are just amazing. Incidentally there is a couple in the south of France who have a Citroen Ami with the same name as your van.
Please make sure the carbon monoxide detector is placed just above the floor, as carbon monoxide is heavier than air and will accumulate from the floor up. It will reach you (when you are sleeping) earlier than it will reach the detector. Besides that, nice video, nice van!
Thanks for the kind words about the video and the van! Just to clarify, carbon monoxide is actually slightly lighter than air. The placement of a carbon monoxide detector can vary based on manufacturer recommendations, but it doesn't necessarily have to be near the floor due to the weight of carbon monoxide.
HAHAHA, cant believe you are impressed that we are worried about a toilet, not having the option of a private toilet would be difficult. This van is crazy amazing!!!
I'm so happy for the two of you. 😊. Every vehicle needs a good name and Elton will become your "best buddy" in the coming years. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend.
I don't think I've seen such a nice interior that looks so homely. I'm a newbie with a T6 LWB, (born in Essex with Welsh parents and living in Scotland since I was 12), so a Heinz 57. Getting some great ideas from your tour. Can see why you live full time in Elton. From the full on Utilities to the small things like a magnet held kettle, superb. Have subbed and liked, looking forward to catching up with more of your van life in the future, best wishes and good luck on your adventures, P.S. I'll need to buy a wee plant now, Thanks Trevor
Hehe thank you so much! It’s such a nice little home on wheels! I suppose the longer you spend in it, the more you find out little tweaks to further improve things 😍🤗
Looks great. I keep thinking some sort of screen for the main cabin door that can roll up so you can have the door open when parked and still get a breeze (with no bugs) might be nice. Love the videos. Found you with your Laos videos as I was gearing up for my trip there this past Feb/March. Was a big help knowing what to expect.
you wont be showering outside in the winter, if you get stuck use an garden spray bottle. you can pump it for pressure and also fill it up and leave it next to your diesal heater all day to have a warm water. get a big enough buck and a pop up shower curtain and youll be nearly good to go, you guys can make it work.
Perfect name! Hello Elton! Wait.. LTON? Lol doesn’t matter. Perfect van as James has an understanding and feminine side and his choices of convenience are stellar! I’m sure you’ll find everything you need to enhance your experience 😁happy trail can’t wait!🙏🏻❤️
In order to ensure more electrical power, a two-phase power generator can be used instead of the electric dynamo inside the car engine (200 Amp instead of 70 Amp).
You should be able to find several choices in portable showers. You have enough room in the van to store a small tent to use as a spare room or guest room while camping.
👋Hi Elton! Gray is grey. When you think about it, it's good to keep it that way (at least for now) rather than spray painting it with a pretty colour. you don't want to attract too much attention especially when you'll be living there. if it's cute & colourful outside, it'll be an Instagam spot with many passers-by.
2:30 Do make sure the engine timing belt and associated parts (assuming your VW has one - most VW diesels have one except one specific type which has a timing chain which are much better and much more forgiving) has been changed recently...If this belt snaps (due to age or mileage) your engine will be instantly destroyed..
Love the van. You have everything you need and more. You can definitely call Elton your house on wheels. Congratulations! 2 questions for you: will you mind sharing how much you paid for Elton? And what are your plans for staying active (workouts) while on the road?
Hello!! Thank you so much! Hehe we are going to reveal the cost in a later video! In terms of activity, we are trying to get a lot of walks in! The weather hasn’t really allowed for much else 🤗
Just discovered your videos and loving them, and wow what a van, does James do conversions for a living? If so is it possible to pot his website on here ,many thanks
Elton. I love it!!!! I think what sold me for me is Adriana's selling the name. So awesome. Lastly, a great video (all your videos are great) and the van is so well thought out. Super happy you are both doing this and hoping little to no issues with your new van life. Not going to lie, good thoughts to Dylan as he might be the one to figure out why sh** ain't working. LOL.
Hehehe Thank you!! Oh we just love our new home on wheels… Elton is the cutest 😍🤗 hehe you’re right, Dylan will probably be the one figuring it out - fingers crossed nothing major breaks 👀👀

You definitely hit the jackpot with your van - purchased sight unseen! It was meant to be.
Wohoo! Thank you! Yes we got so so lucky 😍 the van is great, the previous owner has been sooo helpful too! 🤗
Hi Guys. I had a diesel Jetta years ago and I loved it. Diesels you can get a lot of miles on it and NO problem. I envy you. Safe travels
Oh awesome!! Thank you so much 😍🤗

Useful video thanks 👍🏻
Be sure to have electrical fire extinguisher too. Those are some serious electricity back there.
Ah yes, we are thinking of maybe getting another one too, but the one we have is also for electrical fires! 🤗

Definitely Elton suits him. Great name! 👍
Thank you!! 🤗🤗

Thank you!! 😊
Fantastic name ..Elton...love it
Hehe thank you 😍😍🕺🏻
Perfect for a Zombie Apocalypse.
Soooo trueeee!!!
That is such a well thought out and built camper van with so many little details. The pop out lockable door handles are just amazing. Incidentally there is a couple in the south of France who have a Citroen Ami with the same name as your van.
They’re just so brilliant - everything has been through through so carefully 😍 ah no way!! Elton is a popular name hehe! 🤗
Nice camper van! But oh man, I had a hard time breathing watching this coz I’m claustrophobic 😅 safe travels to both of you!
It’s way bigger than you think 😄

Wohooo!! Thank you lovely! ❤️ Can’t wait to see you!
you wont be showering outside in the winter, if you get stuck use an garden spray bottle.
you can pump it for pressure and also fill it up and leave it next to your diesal heater all day to have a warm water.
get a big enough buck and a pop up shower curtain and youll be nearly good to go, you guys can make it work.
Totally!! Thank you! 🤗 we will see what we can do! 😍🚿
I have an eveco 16 seater daily mini buss im converting. you have given me so great idears thank you :)
Hehe that’s awesome 😍
Wow what a Fantastic Van LOVE LOVE LOVE it ❤ Cool name too. Happy Travels 🤩
Hehe thank you!! 😍❤️
Awesome tour, I love all the little extras in the van and I love the name!!! Super jealous right now lol! ❤xx
Hehe thank you so much! 😍❤️ the name just fits so well!! 😍
Perfect name! Hello Elton! Wait.. LTON? Lol doesn’t matter. Perfect van as James has an understanding and feminine side and his choices of convenience are stellar! I’m sure you’ll find everything you need to enhance your experience 😁happy trail can’t wait!🙏🏻❤️

Great content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it as always. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you so much ❤️😍
Love the van you have really thought it through brilliant . The name is great
Thanks so much!
Love the van. So cozy and beautifully made.

You should be able to find several choices in portable showers. You have enough room in the van to store a small tent to use as a spare room or guest room while camping.
Hehe totally!! A shower feels like a must, just for the warmer period… maybe less so in winter 👀
Lovely couple, lovely van and Elton is a lovely name ❤
Hehe thank you so so much ❤️😍
Elton is ... "Blessed" ☺
❤️❤️
Amazing van!!! I'm a fairly new subscriber. Enjoying past videos and looking forward to your new adventures!!
Awesome! Thank you!

Another great video, what a beautiful homey van you have to travel in. Can’t wait to see what you get up too 🤗🤗
Thank you so so much! We consider ourselves so lucky to call this home 😍
that James is amazing. what a grouse camper.
Thank you!! 😊
Another brilliant video guys ❤️❤️🚐🚐 xx

Super happy you are both doing this and hoping little to no issues with your new van life. Not going to lie, good thoughts to Dylan as he might be the one to figure out why sh** ain't working. LOL.
