I have got to say I have had nothing but a smile on my face watching this this morning. Jon could do with giving Jess a hug now and again, but your joy for life and what your doing is infectious. Your both just enough daft, to be happy inducing and serious enough to make things understandable, and you have so much fun together achieving your goals. Really hope we get some more builds from you in the future. Your up there with Adam Savage, Dominic Chinea in your entertainment and education.
I guess if all else fails, you two could do conversions professionally. The ingenuity and craftsmanship on show is a joy to watch. Love how this is turning out !
I would... without a doubt, buy a van or commission one (if I could afford it) made by these two. As bloody annoying and cringey as their "comedy" links can be, their workmanship is top drawer... and Jess's imput is up there too, not just a pretty face, although the phone time wasting is frustrating, I feel for John... 😂😂 😉👍🏻
Another brilliant video! The chemistry between you guys is amazing! These videos wouldn’t be so interesting without Jess, she’s the real star of the show. 🤣 Your workshop is the stuff of dreams. I guess a 45 minute video would go down really well. Be very sad to see the end of this build, it’s been such enjoyable viewing.
Your channel popped up in my recommendations and I’m so glad it did! My wife’s eyes often glaze over when I’m watching build videos but your pacing is just right for her and the chemistry, humour and banter between you two is fantastic. Thanks, Team JJ!
Back again for tool talk Tuesday …on a Saturday 😂. It’ll be a shame when this is finished as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series. Best van build on RUclips I reckon!
You two could make a fortune running courses sharing the skills you’ve developed. The little tips you share are priceless (and I’m not talking about #sockgate😂).
My dream would be to attend a van build course at your workshop. Others are starting to put on courses btw. Liam the Terrible is doing it, Mels World I think. Nate Murphy just launched an online course £500 ish. Perhaps if you have a gap in between travels? 🤔
You two are killing it.💪🎥👍🛠🌞 There are few RUclips couples that have the build skillz like you two.😮 But even fewer that have the loving comedic banter of the likes of Bewitched, The Odd Couple, and, Abbot and Costello. 😅 😂 📺📣 📻 🎬 I'll let you guess who is who out of those shows.👍🌞💪
You are gonna need to find a space for the 100K Subs YT Plaque soon. This is such a great channel, I love the chemistry you two have, and the builds a pretty good too More TTT, with tea!
Appreciate that you’re putting out weekly vids on top of all the work you’re doing, as the editing in itself is essentially another project. Looking forward to next weeks vid.
Cheers mate, yeah it’s a bit manic at the minute but I think it helps that we are enjoying it so much, and getting so much good feedback makes it all worth it too 👍
Yet again i find myself watching your build .. still no interest in building one myself , still hate the idea of living in sainsburys fridge on wheels but you pair crack me up... bet you are a right laugh after a few beers ... keep up the channel deserves more subs... Love it
Another fantastic tutorial video combined with first class humour. You two are by far top drawer. You should be given your own TV show. Oscar winning 👍
Omg how did I not find your channel till now brilliant funny skillful I mean seriously best RUclips channel out there I watch a lot of people but you 2 are amazing love how you both bounce off each other you should be on TV really anyway I've calmed down off to watch your back catalogue and to tell a lot of my friends there a channel they got to see 🎉🎉👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋☹️☹️
Totally agree, a 45 video would be ace..the van is fantastic and your attention to detail is excellent..tool talk Tuesday was very good this week, I can imagine that will become a regular weekly item due to the demand from all the viewers. Excellent video..
I've been secretly badgering the Discovery Channel about you two, sending them links to your RUclips channel, please don't hate me for it but you are television gold. If ever there was a Discovery Channel about self build vans then you are the obvious choice, the banter and humour is so natural and flowing but the gold is the pure skill that you have as a van building team. I don't want this Sainsbury's van build to end.
Well what a lovely comment, I don’t want the build to end either 😂😂 I’m loving this one, can’t wait to get out and use them tho, thanks ever so much for your comment, it helps us ignore some of the negative ones 🥰
Damn! How did this almost 25 minute video finish so quickly! You are so good, I could keep watching for triple that amount of time with ease and that's coming from someone who gets bored very easily with videos that fail to get to the bloody point. Something you two are definitely not guilty of! The van is coming along so well that I am beginning to get very green with envy. Absolutely stunning quality and it really looks good. I absolutely can't wait for the next episode.
That’s such a lovely thing to say thanks Andrew 💙 we can’t believe how beautiful she is!! Desperate to get her finished and all the little bits in that really set it off 😁
Wickes do a 12mm thick laminate worktop that is bonded under high pressure. Great to cut and glue and it’s fairly lightweight. Apparently it’s very hard wearing as well. Me and my son are just about to use it on both our new kitchens. It is available cheaper on other online sites.
Really enjoying this build - never before have I found a channel and been hooked so quickly. As someone who is wanting to do van life, it would be great if you could do a full cost overview once the van is built. Also, would be great to know your learnings from past projects, does and don'ts etc :) Regardless if we see such a video, I'm here for the long haul!! ps who said we don't want 45min videos?!
Cheers mate, yep we will do a total cost breakdown of the van at the end as many seem to find it helpful, will add in the mistakes and things we would change too 👍 thanks for following along mate 👍
Wow Jon n Jess. You are fabulous I cant wait for another episode of TBT. That is the luckiest ex Saino's van in the world, being lovingly transformed into a real globe trotter by you two. All the best and take care.
You guys are brilliant. Loving the channel. I could watch an hour never mind 45 minutes. Really good, it’s like I’m living it with you ! Even though I don’t do diy, hmmm maybe I should get a tool station catalog?
Thanks David that’s really lovely. DIY is great, so rewarding using something you’ve made! Get that catalogue! We have at least 2 tool station ones and 3 screwfix in the house and Jon goes mad if I ever suggest throwing one out 😂
I still can’t believe that basically a fridge freezer box is turning in to a fantastic mobile second home. It’s amazing what you can do to anything if you have the time and patience
Hi J+J, Keep up the good work and the brilliantly 👍done videos. Just thought I'd let you know what the difference is between blue bosch and green bosch, blue is trade meant for 8hrs a day green is for DIY 80 hrs a year gears bushes etc far better quality. Hope this helps you on wondering why the colour difference. Sorry about the long 😂 message oh by the way your video's are far better than any other van builds🙂. All the best Julian
If ever two people were made for each other…. Comedy underwritten with talent and knowledge, another inspiring watch. I’ll be eying up that Sainsbury’s van when it rocks up this morning, thinking I could do this….
Tip for you when it comes to spray painting walls and cabinets. Once sprayed, go over it with a roller. It adds texture and makes touch-ups much more difficult to spot.
Great as usual. Looks like you have chosen 'warm white' LEDs, about two years ago I have gone to 'cool white', it is better light for seeing anything and much less attraction to insects, has been a bonus. Kia Ora from New Zealand. Take care & stay safe. 💜💜(EDIT: Oh and by the way, the chinese diesel heaters we get here have all the extra bits too and electronic panel for temp & time control - $265 NZD all incl.)
Might have to come and build a van in NZ one day!! They are the middle of the road ones they do here called day light so they aren’t the super white light ones or the yellow light ones in the middle, they do show up a bit yellow in this but much nicer in real life. I didn’t know the insect info though, useful to know thanks 👍
I found your You Tube channel for the start of your Sainsburys van build. I am hooked both by your personalities and the way you are together but also by the quality of your ideas and work. I have been binge watching your Landrover Defender build and am amazed at just how much you have fitted into such a small space. I would quite happily watch an hour of your channel. And enjoy the feel good feeling I get. Thank you.
Great vlog guys and absolutely great build 👏. Gotta say Jess is the best at getting stuck in.... Top worker. Jon definitely think you need another drawer cabinet 😉. Are all the motorbikes yours too? 45min vlogs 👍.
I started watching you guys a few weeks ago at 16,000 subs. Now 34,000 in just a few weeks, WOW!! But hardly surprising. Quick question for John, aka Guy :) will you be fitting an engine pre heater before you artic trip. Check out Alex at mispronounced adventures. He has done 2 winter trips to the artic in a 2 wheel drive transit with temperatures as low as - 30 and managed to freeze his coolant. Vans looking awsome. Ged x
I know it’s been incredible, when we first started we used to be so excited that we got one subscriber in a day so you can imagine how stoked we are that things have gone so well lately and still loving it, so regarding the engine pre heater yep definitely mate, I saw that froody is soon to be reviewing a Chinese diesel pre heater in the next few weeks so waiting to see what he says about that, but funnily enough we were watching o Some of his videos last night where he crossed the ice road, incredible 👍
Who said I didn't want a 45 min video? Maybe if you weren't on your phone all day....😂😂 I'm only kidding, but I'd watch an hour, just saying. Keep up the great work, I love this van.
I love watching your videos, You make a great team . Any chance of a extra side video of your motorbike collection. I'm sure there's a few bikers watching. Keep up the fantastic work ❤️
Thanks very much, we were talking about doing a trip on the bikes the other day actually, will have to wait until summer now though Jess is a fair weather bike passenger!! Jon has a channel he set up a while back that he wants to do videos on tools and bikes and detailed installs on but we just haven’t had time yet. It’s definitely on the list to do 👍
Who says we don't want 45 minute videos You guys had me in fits of laughter! I think your video has become my favorite one so far! Love the van build! If you ever feel like building a van for me as a present, I would be very appreciative Sending love and hugs from SA ❤😊
Another excellent video. I'm doing an ambulance at the moment which already has a night heater in it but needs a new wiring loom and thermostat which is going to cost £250 so that's a good deal on the one you have
You both know I’m definitely team Jess (sorry Jon 😅) BUT the “ we don’t want 45 minute videos” comment has got me rethinking this. Yes we bloody do 😂 I’d be here for daily updates 👍 You guys are amazing and what a difference that brilliant paint job makes 👏🏻👏🏻 Oh and Jon, you need to up your gun game mate 💪🏼
Discovered you guys when you started building this camper van, came up on my feed. I really enjoy watching you guys, and the quality of your content it's excellent! Great explanation of tools and how to make and use fixings, it's given me some ideas too. The music you chose is cool and I love the banter between you guys. Looking forward to your adventures in your lovely little home. Take care both.... Ad.👍
That intro was so funny we will be good until next week . As to the A holes complaining about to much chatter will we all know where they can go..Happy Trails
You two make me howl 😂 Loved watching all the skilful carpentry, plumbing, painting and those excellent TTT’s. But you are wrong there… we do want a 45 minute plus video! 👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant video guys and I second the comment ,you two could do conversions professionally. The ingenuity and craftsmanship on show is a joy to watch.Loving your humor.
Love you guys, the banter is on point, and watching the build is very therapeutic!! High quality workmanship on the build is nothing but a joy to see coming together!! I have 2 or 3 channels that are my favourite go to channels that i look forward to the latest upload, of which your channel is one of them!! Keep up the good work and to verify..... if you made hour long videos, I'd be a happy man!! Much love to you both!! Long live T.T.T!!! ❤
Next weeks tool talk tuesday Jon, this is a hammer, this is Jess's mobile phone📱🔨🗑️😂. Still wondering where the bungee is going to go😂. This is my new favourite van channel by the way👍...atb Dixie ❤
Learning lots of stuff about woodworking, materials, and tools. You do such a lovely job with everything. The only thing I am scratching my head about a little is the wiring through the living space. I've seen this with other Van builders. Nobody likes to put in proper cable tubes and/or ducts. You know, the kind you can easily pull additional wires through even after the build is finished (a build is never finished). I am probably overcomplicating, I just like my wires to be sorted neatly and easily serviceable.
Yep totally agree mate, there’s always bits to upgrade especially now everything is going more electric, in future builds I’m gonna try and make it more accessible 👍👍
Wow you two this build, your filming, the laughs and not forgetting TTT has to make up one of the top channels we subscribe to. Thank you both, truly appreciate it all through this series on this van. 👍🤣👍
Being a tesco driver anytime I see an old tesco van I give them a wave but most of the time you just get strange looks back 🤣🤣 Love it guys keep it coming ❤ Team milwaukee who?? 👀
I do want a 45 min video!!!! love watching you guys take the piss out of each other and actual practical tips and advice too the van is looking so good!! needs some pictures or some artwork I think tho!
This is why I love your channel cause it's simply the best in the world and yet u both have a laugh with each other between building the van , but when u edit your videos u can get caught out 😅😅. His haircuts had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣 posh spice 😅really😅. Looking forward to next week and a tool talk Tuesday 😁😁
Wow I am Shocked to my core with Jess's Tool Talk Tuesday! I am seriously thinking of unsubbing if that carries on! I am now going on a long drive to find an Axminster tool showroom too bring back some calm to my shocked core. We wouldn't mind a 45 minute video as they go by so fast. I don't like the captive nuts that you have used as I have had them spin. there is a trick of adding a small screws to lock them in. I tend to use the threaded insert, and had no issues with them. The Over Spray on those Wagners is nuts, I have one that I used to spray my cabinets I build to replace one of our kitchens with as we had sort of two when we moved in to our house. One is now used as a bar and storage cupboards. I have never been brave enough to use it on the walls either. I did use it last to spray the walls of the Garden Room I built last year for the Wife. Looking forward to the next video next week.
Cheers mate, I told her people would unsubscribe 😂😂😂, I’m hoping I’ll only ever put the bed in once so hopefully never have to take them back out, but good to know 👍
If you are ever in my neck of the woods jon (wiltshire) and im in the van i'll give you a wave lol, on a side note i get stick from my Mrs about having 2 motorbikes you have at least 3. must be nice to have an understanding partner, ya lucky bugger! shes deff a keeper mate.
You guys are such a joy to watch. I woke up this morning, had a quick glance on RUclips and saw your first in this series. I thought I'd give it a bit of a watch before getting on with the day. I'm now over 2 hours in, haven't eaten or drunk anything yet, and have no regrets. I want to do something very similar (although possibly with a service bus) and watching this has been fascinating. 10/10 videography and excellent presentation too.
19:50 that little edit where the song from the phone becomes the backing sound. 👌 Seriously impressed with this build, absolutely binging the life out of it 😂 some serious skill gone into this van, you both make it look easy.
“You don’t want a 45 minute video”……..ermmm yes we do! 🤣
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that 😅
😂😂😂 thanks mate
Yep we all want that! My missus would have a moan but ill make her a brew and she will be fine!☕️
Was about to write this haha
If you didn’t spend all that time on your bloody phone, you’d know what the people want… 😂
I disagree, 45 minute videos from you guys would be gold ahahaha! Honestly one of my favourite channels on youtube!
😂😂 thats so lovely of you to say thank you 💙
I'd definitely watch a 45 minute video 🤞
I have got to say I have had nothing but a smile on my face watching this this morning. Jon could do with giving Jess a hug now and again, but your joy for life and what your doing is infectious. Your both just enough daft, to be happy inducing and serious enough to make things understandable, and you have so much fun together achieving your goals. Really hope we get some more builds from you in the future. Your up there with Adam Savage, Dominic Chinea in your entertainment and education.
What a lovely thing to say thanks ever so much Henry. It makes us so happy to hear it makes you laugh and that it’s useful too 💙
@@truebluetravellers Wot he said!! lol 10/10 for workmanship too.
I totally agree, you two are such a tonic on a Saturday morning..David.
I’d happily watch a 45 minute video on this channel 👍🏻
That’s kind of you to say thank you
I guess if all else fails, you two could do conversions professionally. The ingenuity and craftsmanship on show is a joy to watch. Love how this is turning out !
We really appreciate that Michael thank you that’s such a compliment 💙
I would happily buy one
I would... without a doubt, buy a van or commission one (if I could afford it) made by these two. As bloody annoying and cringey as their "comedy" links can be, their workmanship is top drawer... and Jess's imput is up there too, not just a pretty face, although the phone time wasting is frustrating, I feel for John... 😂😂
😉👍🏻
Mmm would have to factor that in on the price and labour costs. 😂😂❤
Another brilliant video! The chemistry between you guys is amazing! These videos wouldn’t be so interesting without Jess, she’s the real star of the show. 🤣 Your workshop is the stuff of dreams. I guess a 45 minute video would go down really well. Be very sad to see the end of this build, it’s been such enjoyable viewing.
Andrew you legend 💪❤️ thanks so much that’s really lovely of you to say 💙 we are very lucky to have the workshop as much as I give him gyp about it.
Your channel popped up in my recommendations and I’m so glad it did! My wife’s eyes often glaze over when I’m watching build videos but your pacing is just right for her and the chemistry, humour and banter between you two is fantastic. Thanks, Team JJ!
We’re glad it did too, thanks for giving us a go! So lovely to hear it’s something you and your wife can watch together too 💙
I LOVE:
“it’s red and blows sand”!!🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️
I didn’t love it 🤦♂️
I’ve only just recently found this channel, absolutely love it! Keep up all the good work you both do
Thanks so much for watching! Much appreciated
Fastly becoming a favourite channel of mine. RUclips algorithm treated me well.
Really appreciate that thank you 😀 and thanks for giving us a go 😊
Back again for tool talk Tuesday …on a Saturday 😂. It’ll be a shame when this is finished as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series. Best van build on RUclips I reckon!
That’s kind of you to say thanks mate 👍💙
Jess, for all Jon’s teasing I think that you more than got your revenge with that haircut! 😮
😂😂😂 he won’t let me do anything else 🤦♀️
You two could make a fortune running courses sharing the skills you’ve developed. The little tips you share are priceless (and I’m not talking about #sockgate😂).
That’s such a kind compliment thank you 💙 it’s just lots of trial and error… and a fair bit of RUclips! So glad it’s helpful, Sorry for your eyes 😂
My dream would be to attend a van build course at your workshop. Others are starting to put on courses btw. Liam the Terrible is doing it, Mels World I think. Nate Murphy just launched an online course £500 ish. Perhaps if you have a gap in between travels? 🤔
My husband and I loveee watching you all!!! 😁❤️
Thanks very much, glad your enjoying them and thanks for watching 😁
45 mins video's FTW! Absolutely loving this series, longer videos would mean Tool Talk Tuesday can be longer too! 😉
Thanks very much 💙 thanks lovely of you to say… only if Jons on good behaviour 😂
I've always admired the way Jess just throw herself into the build & probably does the cooking? too! Seriously, fun, informative video as always.
Oh yes trust me no one wants to eat jons cooking 😂 thanks very much 💙
Yes we would like a 45 minute video because you’re both so entertaining 😊
That’s a really nice compliment thank you 💙
You two are killing it.💪🎥👍🛠🌞
There are few RUclips couples that have the build skillz like you two.😮
But even fewer that have the loving comedic banter of the likes of Bewitched, The Odd Couple, and, Abbot and Costello. 😅 😂 📺📣 📻 🎬
I'll let you guess who is who out of those shows.👍🌞💪
😂😂😂 thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😁
You are gonna need to find a space for the 100K Subs YT Plaque soon.
This is such a great channel, I love the chemistry you two have, and the builds a pretty good too
More TTT, with tea!
That’s so lovely of you to say thank you 💙 really appreciate it
Why Would You Think We don't Want A 45 Minute Video? I Could Watch You Guys All Day, You Are Awesome!
Cheers mate 👍
Appreciate that you’re putting out weekly vids on top of all the work you’re doing, as the editing in itself is essentially another project.

It normally only takes a few beers with us 😂😂😂 pair of lightweights and thanks for the lovely comment , so funny too 😂😂😂
Another fantastic tutorial video combined with first class humour. You two are by far top drawer. You should be given your own TV show. Oscar winning 👍
Thanks very much Steve, means a lot 😁
18:40 it’s the best tool talk Tuesday
😂😂 yeah it is 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍
@@truebluetravellers I think you should do it more often
It was nice seeing Jess's flaps on the tool. I've never seen those before. It's a very handy bit of kit.👍🏻

Tip for you when it comes to spray painting walls and cabinets. Once sprayed, go over it with a roller. It adds texture and makes touch-ups much more difficult to spot.
Cheers mate, we said about this when we started painting as we do this when we paint walls with a big airless sprayer, will give it a go next time 👍
You guys could do this as a TV program, you have a screen chemistry that just works so well.

Thanks Paul 💪 ❤ he’s got no more room for more cabinets 😂🤦♀️ 2 of the bikes are ours and one is Jons dads 😊
I started watching you guys a few weeks ago at 16,000 subs. Now 34,000 in just a few weeks, WOW!! But hardly surprising. Quick question for John, aka Guy :) will you be fitting an engine pre heater before you artic trip. Check out Alex at mispronounced adventures. He has done 2 winter trips to the artic in a 2 wheel drive transit with temperatures as low as - 30 and managed to freeze his coolant. Vans looking awsome. Ged x
I know it’s been incredible, when we first started we used to be so excited that we got one subscriber in a day so you can imagine how stoked we are that things have gone so well lately and still loving it, so regarding the engine pre heater yep definitely mate, I saw that froody is soon to be reviewing a Chinese diesel pre heater in the next few weeks so waiting to see what he says about that, but funnily enough we were watching o
Some of his videos last night where he crossed the ice road, incredible 👍
I would love even longer than 45 minutes 😅 I just love watching you two ….. hope you have a lovely week 😊x
Thanks Shantel, you too 💙
Bloody Hell, I wish you two were building my Camper, I might have had it back by now. Great build and video, clever sods.
That’s a such a nice compliment thanks very much 💙
Who said I didn't want a 45 min video? Maybe if you weren't on your phone all day....😂😂 I'm only kidding, but I'd watch an hour, just saying. Keep up the great work, I love this van.
😂😂😂 thanks very much Barry 👍
Brilliant build! Awesome tip for hiding the cables! Whole video just so good, keep up the great work, the banter is the best!!
Thank you, glad you liked the solution 💪 💙
Yes we do want a longer video even a occasional 1hr one would be awesome to see.
😂😂😂 cheers Russ
I love watching your videos, You make a great team .
Any chance of a extra side video of your motorbike collection. I'm sure there's a few bikers watching.
Keep up the fantastic work ❤️
Great idea!
Thanks very much, we were talking about doing a trip on the bikes the other day actually, will have to wait until summer now though Jess is a fair weather bike passenger!!
Jon has a channel he set up a while back that he wants to do videos on tools and bikes and detailed installs on but we just haven’t had time yet. It’s definitely on the list to do 👍
Who says we don't want 45 minute videos You guys had me in fits of laughter! I think your video has become my favorite one so far! Love the van build! If you ever feel like building a van for me as a present, I would be very appreciative Sending love and hugs from SA ❤😊
😂😂😂thanks Sharon, so glad you enjoy them 💙💙
Another excellent video. I'm doing an ambulance at the moment which already has a night heater in it but needs a new wiring loom and thermostat which is going to cost £250 so that's a good deal on the one you have
Thanks very much mate. That’s brutal! Hope the repairs go ok!
You both know I’m definitely team Jess (sorry Jon 😅) BUT the “ we don’t want 45 minute videos” comment has got me rethinking this. Yes we bloody do 😂 I’d be here for daily updates 👍 You guys are amazing and what a difference that brilliant paint job makes 👏🏻👏🏻 Oh and Jon, you need to up your gun game mate 💪🏼
😂😂😂😂 yes Debbie, good to know you have my back, them little twigs of his have got nothing on mine 💪💪😂
Team Jess! 💪🏼😆
Discovered you guys when you started building this camper van, came up on my feed. I really enjoy watching you guys, and the quality of your content it's excellent! Great explanation of tools and how to make and use fixings, it's given me some ideas too. The music you chose is cool and I love the banter between you guys. Looking forward to your adventures in your lovely little home. Take care both.... Ad.👍
Hi Ad, thanks so much for kind words and for watching, we really appreciate it. We can’t wait to get her finished and out on the road!
That intro was so funny we will be good until next week . As to the A holes complaining about to much chatter will we all know where they can go..Happy Trails
😂😂 cheers Mike 😁👍
Still awake
You two make me howl 😂
Loved watching all the skilful carpentry, plumbing, painting and those excellent TTT’s.
But you are wrong there… we do want a 45 minute plus video!
👍🏻👍🏻
😂😂😂 thanks very much, it’s lovely to hear that people are enjoying the videos 😁💙
This stuff wouldn’t work without Jess…
That’s lovely of you to say ❤️❤️ we make a good team I think 😊
Brilliant video guys and I second the comment ,you two could do conversions professionally. The ingenuity and craftsmanship on show is a joy to watch.Loving your humor.
Thanks very much John, lovely of you to say 😁
Love you guys, the banter is on point, and watching the build is very therapeutic!!
High quality workmanship on the build is nothing but a joy to see coming together!!
I have 2 or 3 channels that are my favourite go to channels that i look forward to the latest upload, of which your channel is one of them!!
Keep up the good work and to verify..... if you made hour long videos, I'd be a happy man!!
Much love to you both!!
Long live T.T.T!!! ❤
😂😂😂 cheers mate, much appreciated and yes loving the long live ttt 😂👍
I love the videos. You should add some tags for diesel heaters; people seem to go crazy over them on RUclips, myself included.
Sorry, what do mean by tags ? 😁
Next weeks tool talk tuesday Jon, this is a hammer, this is Jess's mobile phone📱🔨🗑️😂. Still wondering where the bungee is going to go😂. This is my new favourite van channel by the way👍...atb Dixie ❤
😂😂😂😂 love it Dixie, would be my favourite ttt yet 😂
Great video as ever guys starting to look amazing a John disapointed still no gun tut tut lol
I know, me too mate 🤦♂️😂👍
Learning lots of stuff about woodworking, materials, and tools. You do such a lovely job with everything. The only thing I am scratching my head about a little is the wiring through the living space. I've seen this with other Van builders. Nobody likes to put in proper cable tubes and/or ducts. You know, the kind you can easily pull additional wires through even after the build is finished (a build is never finished). I am probably overcomplicating, I just like my wires to be sorted neatly and easily serviceable.
Yep totally agree mate, there’s always bits to upgrade especially now everything is going more electric, in future builds I’m gonna try and make it more accessible 👍👍
Such a gracious couple.
Thanks very much 😁
Wow you two this build, your filming, the laughs and not forgetting TTT has to make up one of the top channels we subscribe to. Thank you both, truly appreciate it all through this series on this van. 👍🤣👍
Thanks very much guys 😁 thanks for following along with us 💙
Being a tesco driver anytime I see an old tesco van I give them a wave but most of the time you just get strange looks back 🤣🤣 Love it guys keep it coming ❤
Team milwaukee who?? 👀
😂😂, thanks very much Paul, team Bosch 😁😂
Im here for the 45 minutes video!!! You guys are so wholesome ❤
Thanks very much 😁💙
Wooooo its looking sooooo good, Enjoyed every single upload of this so far please never stop converting vans and never stop playing each other up! :D
😂😂 oh there’s no chance of stopping the windups 😂😂 👍
I do want a 45 min video!!!! love watching you guys take the piss out of each other and actual practical tips and advice too the van is looking so good!! needs some pictures or some artwork I think tho!
Thanks mate, Yeah we think so too, bit bare as it is hey 🤔🤔
let me know if you want a drawing 👌🏻@@truebluetravellers
Awesome, informative and entertaining as always. 45 minutes…. Yes please 🙏👍🔥❤️🇬🇧
Thanks very much 😁
This is why I love your channel cause it's simply the best in the world and yet u both have a laugh with each other between building the van , but when u edit your videos u can get caught out 😅😅. His haircuts had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣 posh spice 😅really😅. Looking forward to next week and a tool talk Tuesday 😁😁
😂😂😂 he always has to make a palaver of everything 🤦♀️😂😂 thanks very much 😁😁😁
@@truebluetravellers like a naughty school kid 🤣🤣
Wow I am Shocked to my core with Jess's Tool Talk Tuesday! I am seriously thinking of unsubbing if that carries on! I am now going on a long drive to find an Axminster tool showroom too bring back some calm to my shocked core.
We wouldn't mind a 45 minute video as they go by so fast.
I don't like the captive nuts that you have used as I have had them spin. there is a trick of adding a small screws to lock them in. I tend to use the threaded insert, and had no issues with them.
The Over Spray on those Wagners is nuts, I have one that I used to spray my cabinets I build to replace one of our kitchens with as we had sort of two when we moved in to our house. One is now used as a bar and storage cupboards. I have never been brave enough to use it on the walls either. I did use it last to spray the walls of the Garden Room I built last year for the Wife.
Looking forward to the next video next week.
Cheers mate, I told her people would unsubscribe 😂😂😂, I’m hoping I’ll only ever put the bed in once so hopefully never have to take them back out, but good to know 👍
Superb workmanship, it looks brilliant. Look forward to next one. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much mate 👍
If you are ever in my neck of the woods jon (wiltshire) and im in the van i'll give you a wave lol, on a side note i get stick from my Mrs about having 2 motorbikes you have at least 3. must be nice to have an understanding partner, ya lucky bugger! shes deff a keeper mate.
😂😂 only 2 are mine, u have to have a spare just incase hey Phil 😂😂
Brilliant love the banter between the both of you..
Thanks Gordon 😁
The attention to detail is amazing, great stuff guys!
Thanks very much Gary 😁

Great vlog great work. Enjoy
Cheers Mike 👍
Anytime. Enjoy
Looking good guy’s it’s coming along nice 👌🏻 here’s a 👋🏻 from a Sainsbury’s driver lol 😂
Yeah boi 👋 👍
You guys are such a joy to watch. I woke up this morning, had a quick glance on RUclips and saw your first in this series. I thought I'd give it a bit of a watch before getting on with the day.
I'm now over 2 hours in, haven't eaten or drunk anything yet, and have no regrets. I want to do something very similar (although possibly with a service bus) and watching this has been fascinating.
10/10 videography and excellent presentation too.
😂😂😂 pmsl, thanks very much, lovely of you to say 😁
the 2 of ye make me laugh. if anyone is having a bad day just watch your videos and everything change . Keep going lads
This comment has made me so happy 💙 so lovely to think of it cheering people up. Have a great day 💙
I love you two! Please stay exactly like this!
😂😂 will try 👍
Love it!!!
Just a little note - the afterburner heater controller is compatible with a lot of the chinese heaters, but not all...
Thanks mate, yes you’re right 👍
This episode was riveting. Thanks!
😂😂😂 de dum dum 🥁 😂😂👍
19:50 that little edit where the song from the phone becomes the backing sound. 👌
Seriously impressed with this build, absolutely binging the life out of it 😂 some serious skill gone into this van, you both make it look easy.
Thanks very much, sometimes the editing just works out well some weeks, nice when it does 😁
