- This is us having our first trip in our self built DIY camper van. Coronavirus has changed things a little for us but we are trying to look on the bright side!

Most of this is used to keep emilys snack cupboard topped up but occasionally she lets Lou have
some to buy the dog treats!
“Are we there yet?” “The views are stunning!” Haha 😂
Your videos are great, fun and you really can see the effort that goes into your van and your channel. Keep it up. Loving the dog yoga too.
Thank you 😁 and thanks for appreciating the effort, this youtube lark is hard lol!! Thank you for watching 😁👍
The more back videos I watch the better you two get and AJ.
It’s goggle box at it’s finest , funny as !
Your build series is one of the best out there and you have kept me entertained all the way. Thanks Richie.
Thanks Richie, nice of you to say that. I feel AJ is the best one out of all of us and the most liked 🤣🤣
camper vibe cheers enjoy your travels.
Not finished yet , hit the send button by mistake.
When the champagne came out , I thought you was about to officially name the van.
I name this van Fanny, god bless her and all who drive in her. 😂
Enjoy it girls , whenever that may be. Thanks for some great information and inspiration, Louise. Your skills and talent are amazing.
You have one hell of a van 👍
Haha, what's funny is how all of a sudden its 'our' van, last week it was 'my' van! Thanks for watching Paul, your comments have been brilliant all the way along, got a few bits still to do, solar etc but that's on hold for a bit now! Might still do the vlogs tho.
P.S, I think fanny is brilliant, as a name and..
Have to admit AJ is so funny 😆
Summer just wandering.
Well done guys the van looks sweet! And that parkup was a great find, it had full facilities and a shop 😉
I would stick it on park4night but I'm worried it'll be flooded with tourists! Thanks for watching 😁
Loved it! Cried laughing at AJ and yoga!... Van looks amazing... And super cute first night in van!.... Re warmth.. If you've any reflectix spare.. We used to make our own thermal front cab screens with tape round the egdes. We also have optional curtain which drops down between front seats and cab for additional warmth or to make it look like a bulk head for stealth camping. Look forward to next vlogg xx
Thank you 😁 AJ has a belief that if its on the floor it's his, that includes us lol! I'm just waiting on Emily to make the curtain now and I probably will make my own window covers, we were just too excited to sleep in it lol 😂 Thank you for watching 😁👍
Really pleased to see the van just about complete - having followed the build from the start, it's been a great watch! It's obviously been a lot of hard work but the end-result looks the business and ready for some cool trips when things return to some form of normality. I'll take some good info from the series but it's also been fun, given that you err......don't take yourselves too seriously!
Haha, we certainly don't take ourselves very seriously lol. Glad you've enjoyed the van build, we've got a few bits to do still, solar etc but it's so close now. Thank you so much for watching. 😁👍
just come across your channel loving your vids so far, love your style of how you put your vids together, your humour and honesty, l look forward to catch up with the rest :)
I friggin love you girls. Oh the belly laughs watching you two interact... It's like Bless This House... in a van... In the 21st century.... Without the teenagers!!! 😘😘 Stay safe chicks. Shez from Melbourne, Australia
😂😂 Thank you so much! Hope you are keeping safe in oz! Thanks for watching 👍
Wow your first trip out not away but out. The van looks fab, I look forward to parts and in particular costings. Me being just about to embark on this journey and. All that. I struggle with the concept of making a template for a window or skylight or the sink so any how to videos would be great Emily! You could get Lou to help 😂😂 seriously though the build series is amazbobs. Stay safe ladies 😷😷😷😷
Thanks so much. 😂😂 On Emily doing the video!! Working on the costs now so hopefully won't be too long. Thank you for watching 😁👍
I need those camping Jim jams!!!!
Sainsbury 😀😀😀
you three are nuts ! love your van, well done ladies and look forward to more ... cheers 👍👍👍
🤣🤣 Thanks Andy. And thank you for watching 😁👍
Great build girls. Really enjoyed your vids. Almost finished my own now I've got loads of lockdown time. Might run into you both 1 day. Happy travels. Enjoy and stay safe.
The one advantage to lock down is that I can crack on with the van lol! Although I've still got a bit to do! Hope to see u on the road and thanks for watching 😁👍
That was a great video girls, you made me laugh , take care 🙂.
Thank you Alun, you too 😁👍
Great video! Always so funny to wath!
😁😁😁😁
loved how AJ was rescuing you when you were on the floor.
You are serious good fun! :)
We try to be lol!
"Are we there yet?"
"Yip!"
Classic...
Really enjoyed your build series ladies.
One thing I would be interested in, is to have a more detailed look at the light fitting above your bed. (on the right, over your left shoulder). Looks really classy!
12volt bulb?
Haha, thank you 😁 We actually done a video on that light. It was early on so its not great, and yeah it's a 12v bulb. Thanks for watching 😁ruclips.net/video/U8powuDLgZg/видео.html
Oh girls I really feel your pain, so bloody inconvenient that the virus should hit at this time. But listen up. You are both very young ladies and before you know it this whole nightmare will be over. So in the meantime,as you have plenty of time on your hands, try to imagine what you would have been doing and the mistakes & bad decisions you may have been making. So when the time time comes....Bingo ! You will know how to handle it, because in your mind you have already come across it ( sorry I've been on the Vodka)
Seriously though.. it will eventually get back to normal and you will be better prepared . Every cloud has a silver lining, the waiting and excitement will build and then, when it's all over you will have the time of your lives😎 keep safe.....Jim👍
Haha, thanks Jim! You really have been on the vodka lol! To be honest our problems are minimal compared to some at this time. Take care Jim and thank you for watching 😁👍
you could buy a thermal curtain to put across the back of cab area and just tie it out of the way on the drivers side as you have room there for it to be stowed :)
It's on the list, but not until we can get up to the Arctic circle, which I think now, will be a while! 😕
@@campervibe thats good then i just hope this whole thing goes away soon :)
Oh tell us about it!!
Absolutely amazing van conversion, i hope the engine faul isn't terminal when you get it back, fingers crossed and stay safe
Thank you, yeah so do we, hopefully we can get it sorted or new engine 🤦♀️😁
Can looks great girls enjoyed the build 👌
Thank you, and thanks for watching 😁
I laughed so hard I drooled!
🤣🤣🤣
Van is looking really good. The enclosed paddock for AJ was a stroke of luck! He's not very good at yoga though is he.
Crap at yoga, he prefers a more cardio based excersise, he loves running, aimlessly, to nowhere lol! Thank you 😁👍
It’s a thumbs up from me girls. Nice one.
That’s the longest time Emily has spent in the van and on camera, she loves it. What was on your face girl 💩. 😂
You've done a great job on the van, it looks great 👍.
Thank you so much 😁
Love you guys and what you have done..........going to watch the cost video and the parts list. Take care and stat safe, from sunny Devon xx
Thanks a lot Chris 😁 stay safe in Devon, lovely part of the country! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Bloody just what one needed

You two are hilarious lol
Thank you 😁👍

Are the tea bags(?) different sizes? If you want to make a gallon of ice tea, would you use 12 of those?
All the same size, ice tea oh no, ice coffee 🙌🙌😋
@@campervibe Hi Emily!
Go and park off grid for 3 months iñ winter, then you will find out what van life is reaĺly like, when you have lost job and have lock down (you can't buy anything to fit out van).
Funnily enough, about 10 years ago we lived in a tent feb/march/April. It was cold! If you watch a few of our most recent videos you'll see how we've been repurposing stuff to finish our van, as we too are unable to get out and get stuff and both of us are no longer working. It is tough times for all at the moment. Hope u are keeping safe, thanks for watching 😁👍
No no you take out the tea bag before the milk!! That's it unsubscribe!!! 😂😂
Great video, do you plan to have the bench seat long enough so it covers the entrance at all??
So harsh, but understandable, tea making is an art form! The bench seat extends past the door but only by a tiny bit. We need to keep the floor space for the dog and us to be able to move around each other.
Heehee enjoyed the trip, be great fuel economy that ! Hopefully not long till you both get out proper. Blanket Bay not quite the same as being out on the road.
Wee update from me, get me funds ( yehaaaa ) , currently sourcing suitable candidate for van. Still gonna be behind my schedule though, ah well. Anyways ,be safe be warm folks.
Mpg was insane lol! Can't wait to get out on the road! Good luck with the van hunt, honestly, it's the hardest part lol! As always thanks for watching 😁👍
How much do you love Camper Vibe?
Me: 16:26
Great van build, just out of interest, how tall is Louise?
We're considering buying same kind of van and I'm 6ft and my wife is 5ft 10in, would we be ok having the bed the same way as you?
Hi there, I'm 5'7" and just about comfortable, if I'd have battened the van out differently then I would have gained an extra 2 inches on the bed and if one of you is short the taller one can sleep at a slight angle which will help, I know of lots of 6 footers that do it in these vans, I suppose it just depends on what kind of space you need to be comfortable. The way I've done it the bed is 180cm, but by the time you allow for your feet falling flat when you lay down and a bit of room on the pillow it's tight. Hope that all makes sense lol.
Also, you can leave a rebate in the wall at each end, less insulation but more space, seen quite a few do that too
where do you plan on going first ? nice van
Thank you 😁 I think our first trips will now be limited to the UK because of the pandemic! But we will be doing the lake district for sure. And the new forest, as we love it there anyway. Thank you for watching 😁
@@campervibe wales is nice
We LOVE Wales, we will definitely be back in Wales at some point 😁
@@campervibe pembrokshire and up the other end the mountain on the easy route mind 👍
Interesting. Was AJ biting his bad leg?
Not too sure, this was awhile ago 🤔
Hi girlies. Where did you get your mattress from and do they do different sizes? Loved the fart effect. Nearly weed my nappy! Don't know how you can bear those long roadtrips with no snacks. LOL.
😂😂 Thank you! The mattress is from a company called custom sized beds, they will make them any size and shape, they're not cheap but they are really comfy 😁
If you had a Multiple Personality Disorder issue, I am pretty sure they would change and match at the same time.
😂🤣 This is probably very true 👍
@@campervibe this is not good for my Persecution Syndrome... You could be a hell of a Detective... Or at least working for Mastercard as a collector.
Thanks I need a pick me up.
😁😁 Thanks for watching 👍
Hey new subbie from IG. We’re a few months in but we’ve had to halt our vanlife yo shelter in place in a hotel
Hello 😁 thanks for subbing. This virus sucks for everyone, our vanlife is also on hold. Keep safe and thanks for watching 👍
can I ask where did you get the mattress? And all materials.. 😊
The mattress was form custom size beds. As for all the materials, off the top of my head would take me all night lol! But, we are going to do a full parts list soon that people can access.
loved the dog cam .. did he check his pee mail
Hi Dean, surely you've watched all the videos now lol 😁 And yeh, he likes to keep on top of his pee mails lol 😂
@@campervibe iv got 11 to watch . but im going away to Bridlington tomorrow in motor-home so i will watch them while the wife goes cloths shopping
☺️☺️☺️ wooow you finish the van?
Not quite but it's definitely done enough to be used. Thanks for watching 😁👍
What am I going to watch now you've finally finished the van???🤔🤔
Haha, weve got a few bits left to go, roof rack, solar etc it's just on hold for a bit. We might carry on making videos tho, not sure yet. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Hurrah to you two nice job lou . if i see yous in lake district after lockdown ill be coming for a cuppa hope you get to enjoy your van soon if boris pulls his finger out
and not in 6 months time ..she could have run the bloody iron over that bed sheet..and why are girls putting sewer sludge on there faces now. What is the world coming to .buggerd if i know
I know right, I wondered about the iron myself 😂😋 We will definitely be up to the lake district, hopefully this year, subject to lock down obviously, thanks for watching Gary 😁
