    I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a long time and always enjoyed your content. Sorry Mate not this time.
    I remember when you used the uni strut because in your words “ refuse to pay £700 for a roof rack. I thought fair play mate, and done the same to my van.
    You now advertise and fit a roof rack well over £2000.

    Interesting watching the comments. We make our own modular roof rack and it costs way over £1000 for the basic parts, £200 for powder coating, VW rails to fit a new crafter £600, then over a day to assemble....I was looking at the Mule one thinking it looks good value🤣🤣🤣. Plus looks good.
    Anyway, that wasn't my reason for the coment...Neil...I thought the intro was bloody great.(just been listening to the full track)..sorry I may have to nick that idea and the music for a video one day. Love your content...keep up the good work. Ed

  • @Correction294
    @Correction294 2 года назад +5

    It does look great and I’m sure it’s very well put together BUT… it’s ridiculously priced. Im a big fan of this channel and I much prefer seeing Neil/Emma improvise and do things their own way with the smaller budget. I think that’s what makes your channel so appealing but it seems that most of these channels become dominated by getting freebies for ADs as they grow. In other words, I much prefer watching Neil and Emma do their own thing and continue to entertain while showing us amateurs how to make things work!

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  2 года назад +1

      As a channel grows more company’s support the channel which allows creators to make more content and do more things with the channel . Take for instance the full set of BFG tyres we are giving away on Sunday on the life stream . As a larger channel we pull in partners that can give back to the comunity . There is 2 kinds of RUclips channels 1 the hobby channel and 2 the Buisness channel . We aim and have allwsys aimed this to be our main Buisness but £500 a month of RUclips adds kind of don’t pay the bills so channel have to get sponsors and do things like sponsored adds . While RUclips is FREE TO WATCH it is sure not free to create . I mean building a van . And the gear we have bought and use for creating videos in the past 2 years has probable come close to 30/40k and we ain’t made of money so some thing has to give . But most of our audience watch us for us and it really dose not matter to most of our subscribers but I guess we can’t please every one which is ok cos you can’t please every one . As for the price of the rack . If you where to buy the raw material and make it your self with laser cutting . Machine folding and powder coating I think you would end up costing more . Cheers for the comment any way . Not seen you before in the comment section so welcome
