Do you have a carbon monoxide detector fitted? The flames on the cooker were yellow which suggests incomplete combustion and a risk of CO being produced. If you are sleeping in there with your family it could be the best £15 investment you ever make. It's not called the silent killer for no good reason!
Read this please!
PLEASE READ !!!
As a registered gas installer I can say 100% that flame has incomplete combustion and is classed as immediately dangerous!!!
Do not use the gas hob until it has been inspected, its likely the wrong injector has been fitted.
Good spot, respect
We don't care about carbon monoxide, we're freaks.
@@murdoyyy Same, deffo not right and a big red flag!
It might have been a wait, but by god was it worth the wait. What a brilliant build and series. Martyn is insanely skilled, and what a great bloke
We're glad it's finished and so happy for Blake! This is one EPIC off-grid van that's for sure.
I've been looking forward to this for so long. Well done Blake on the build and to Martyn as well. Job fellas 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! We couldn't agree more! Thanks for the support! 👊
To see this has been released made me so happy. Best series yet. Blake you are a legend.
We're so stoked to be able to show you the complete van! We're so glad you loved the series! Safe riding! 🤘

Such a sick build!
🙌🤘🤯
phenominal this is! outrageous the amount of work that went into it
Building projects with mates is epic
Respect to Blake and Martyn for an incredible build! It take skill but also balls to take up on this kind of project! Otsukare Sama!
They both smashed this build! We're so stoked with the final product! The van is a beast! 🔥
@@gmbn Pls read about de carbon monoxide detector and confirm blake has adressed this issue :)
RAL 250 60 10 is gonna stay rent free in my mind for a while. XD
Well done Blake! You guys have done a great job 👏 What a lekker van. Wishing you and your family many happy adventures
Thanks for watching Stuart
This is an absolut dream! Happy for you and your family. Hope you share some of your awesom adventures with the van with us.
I got the worx hoover body for about £70 it’s really good shares the batteries from my hydro shot also amazing, I also got a new Vauxhall combo just over a year ago it’s basically a bike garage to and from work vehicle I had it boarded out, block pod made a fork mount rail to fit my lashing point centres with a front wheel holder and I made spare wheel holder for my van rather than buying a cage that holds a spare wheel under the van, I don’t think I’ll go back to a car now vans are way more fun if you can get one with all the comfort stuff in the front air conditioning and a nice console they don’t feel much different to driving a car.
One word for it; Awesome!!! Enjoy......
so gladd the can is finished. more riding videos please
Wauw, that’s one hell of beauty.
That's the happiest van in the world!😀
So badass, you should be proud of this effort man!
Love the Raptor grill!!!
Finally Blake! now time for more outdoor adventures!
You betcha!
Thank you! You spend more time in your van than with me on the trails!!! Hats off to you and gamers!!
The van looks great well done all.
Thanks very much, we're stoked you enjoyed!
My parents took my brother and I around Europe in a VW Combivan for 18 months in 1969 (I was 7-8 years old) ! I slept in the pop-up roof 'tent' and loved it even in winter in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Best experience ever...I've travelled a lot ever after, but nothing beat the family adventuring together. Enjoy it together for aa long as you can.
on the other side of the iron curtain in 69 ?
@@tomjoad1363 not exactly,, but the former Yugoslavia was close enough at that time.
Great hob mate!!! I've been waiting for this video for so long... thanks!!!
Welcome back you beautiful... van!
Love the colour... And the attention to detail on the respray👏👏
Thanks for the beautiful shout out! 😁
Yesss lad, so happy it’s never finished either keeps the content coming 👌
That trunking idea for the blinds is genius!
It looks amazing. True craftsmanship.
Man oh man! That van is too sick! Now for some adventure videos with the van.
OHHHH YES! We can't wait!
i was just thinking about how lucky these guys are to have something like this as a job. living the dream fellas… cheers!
Honestly Blake builds are by far my favourite things. Love your enthusiasm man keep them coming!
Superb. So, so ,so much work!
Memory foam is garbage and wreaks havoc on circulation. Natural latex foam mattresses all the way. Other than that, killer build 😎
Been waiting so long for this video. Great job Blake.
Can't wait to see the van out on some adventures!
Very nice build. The only thing I would miss is a portable toilet...
What a crackin piece of kit! Congrats Blake, can’t wait to see all the adventures with it.
Absolutely brilliant! And yes, we have all been waiting for this. Well done.
Fantastic looking van, can't wait to see you on your adventures, 🤘👏
Wow what a cool van, I'm a little bit jealous, just a little bit.
It's perfect
Finally!!! Congratulations! Buying a camper van like that here in the US is about $180K. Good job!
i want to like this a thousand times
Holy Crap! You could write a book about that!
And it’s a manual, very nice lad , I just picked mine up
Awesome... that's Great Idea Mate ☺️👍
Glad you like it! :)
Amazing work Blake
Buy a rear sway bar or sumo bumpers for that heavy roof. Be mindful of how much weight you have up there and does it exceed ford's uplifter capacity?
A bathroom is a must for me. Nice van.
Agree, especially for mountain biking, or any outdoor sports.
Absolute Van envy right here! Brilliant job!!!
Epic work Blake!
That camper is what dreams are made of.
VANTASTIC!
That's probably the best mtb van I have seen. Great job👏👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟
Tho, yeh, sort out that gas stove... That's not right... And maybe lethal!
That is a really impressive van. Well done.
So happy you finish this. As a lifelong Car Guy I would say that at least half of the projects that get started never get finished for all the reasons you experienced yourself. All of us need a Martin in our lives to help push us over the top or lend a hand when our skills run out. It's a hell of an achievement even with a budget and a camera crew. Anyone who's done an intense build knows that first-hand. Congratulations, those boys are going to love that thing even more than you and your wife!!!
Yewww!! Finally! Haha looks great! 🤙🏼
That is one SICK ASS BUILD!!!! Bruhhhh, phenomenal job bumper to bumper 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Really nice van. Have fun
Finally! Loved the build episodes of old but this van build has been the best. Thank you for the crew, Blake and Martin
Glad you like them!
What an amazing palace on wheels! With a guest house on the roof! Been an awesome series! Congratulations Blake! Woo!🤘
awesome m8, now let's hope we get to see you travel to some crazy places to mountain bike.
What a build 💪🏼
Absolutely outstanding, what an amazing build. Perfect for purpose and with foresight built in. Well done to everyone involved and congratulations to the Blake and the Samson family on there new adventure vehicle.
Hey Benjy, thanks for the kind words, awesome comment!! We're looking forward to seeing what the Samson family get up to in this incredible off-grid camper van!
Looks awesome Blake
Gmbn back with an amazing banger! I love watching these!!
Always! 😉 Thanks for watching! 🤘
Absolutely wicked build Blake and Martyn 🤘👊
Yes people have said oh it's taking too long to build etc 🙁
Good things come to people that wait and you can't rush a job like this
If you had cut corners you'd regret it now.
Van looks awesome and Blake you've got lots of memories to come from the adventures to come in it.
Awesome series and content #GMBN 🤘
Hey Ross! We've had such a sick time bringing this insane project to life! Blake and Martyn absolutely smashed it! Thanks so much for the support!🤘
Wonderful van build....
What a sweet build! I’d loved watching every song of this project from the very beginning! Enjoy and ride on! Cheers
Thanks for sticking with us until the final episode Chris! Hope it was worth the wait 👍
Mesmerizing!!

Wonderful build, Blake and Martin! Love the attention to detail and the tasteful colors, both inside and out.
Any chance you can do a breakdown of what such a conversion would cost?
Awesome! I look forward to all trip videos
Absolutely gorgeous and the ultimate dream adventure mobile!
Carry an induction hob..when you hook up to 240v. will save on gas ..plus you can use it outside in warmer weather ...
So sick Blake 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Never thought we would see this finished! Came out top notch !
Great things take time eh!! Thanks for the great comment! 😃
Superb job Blake. You and Martin deserve lots of kudos! Your sponsors will be happy also! What was that colour again? LOL!
Dam that’s a nice van Blake 🤘
