Crusoe!!!! The van is beautiful (bed is my favorite area) but he stole the show!! Such a blessed and happy baby; shows that he is truly loved. He definitely has the same positive energy as his parents.
Hi Muffin cake. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Crusoe almost certainly has the biggest smile in the family. He’s such a great little traveller. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Hi Shannon, thank you!! Great to hear from you. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
It truly is beautiful! In the same spirit, as beautiful, just on a bigger vehicle is this one: ruclips.net/video/tD9FmKpa8tA/видео.html The video is in german, but there are english subtitles. It's a family of four, and the father has done a remarkable job, very clever storing solutions. They are living full time in it.
Hi Sophie! It seem Crusoe has been quite a hit!! He sends lots of hugs. Thanks for watching friend, your support is so appreciated. This Sunday Crusoe is in his first proposer desert with camels …. Eating sand! 🐪🙏❤️
@@TheNewbys yes ... sand ! A babies go to food .... all babies around the World enjoy doing this ! My babies (now grown) both enjoyed this cuisine on many Australian beaches ! 🤗🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Love from Australia! 🥰
Love the van, especially the adorable sleeping nook with that organic looking curved wood entrance. I’ll admit it was hard to keep my focus on the van when your little man kept stealing the show. What a smile! ❤️
Oh my goodness, this van is stunning and looks so comfortable. So compact and such an ingenious use of space. Your tour is going to be amazing in this van and I am looking forward to sharing the experience with you both. Btw, Crusoe is such a cute baby ... so happy and healthy. God bless.💕
Hi Suzy! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! we are proud as punch of this van and Crusoe is loving his time in it, so are we!!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Hi Betty, Thank you friend!!! We have done our very best with this van build and we LOVE IT! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
What a lovely little family you have and your van is just stunning. So neat and tidy! Crusoe is gorgeous and I love the way he looks at his Dad.... his perfect role model. You are a lucky lady to have your two adorable men, and they are lucky to have you. This video made me smile all the way through😊
Ahh Jewell IAM, this is one of our favourite comments ever, it meant the world to us. Thank you so much for your kind words snd for spending your time with us, we appreciate it so much. Looking forward to having you along for the journey, we hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. Crusoe says hi and sends hugs ❤️ 🚐 ☀️
Caruso is a very blessed lil Man....what a wonderful plan! Just remember, children do not have to attend a brick and mortar school nowadays....options are boundless now....with 100 countries under his belt at school age....he won't want to be tied down.....keep showing him life and educating him with the world! Beautiful family!
So glad I found you and watched this! Crusoe is adorable and so is your van! I love the positive energy you all emanate. Look forward to seeing old videos and new ones to come. Going to bed with a smile from seeing your lovely home and family. TFS, happy adventures.
Ahh wow Serena, thank you. We’ve just woken up with a huge smile on our faces thanks to your lovely message. Thanks for joining our adventures and look forward to having you along for the ride! Have a happy week and Crusoe says hi 👋🏻 😊 😘
Thanks so much Lisa, that’s such a wonderful and kind thing to say, you’ve made our day. We’re excited to have you with us for the adventure, thanks for being here and have a super week 😊
Such a beautiful job! Your first van was my favorite smaller van out there and now this is one of my favorite larger ones as well. :) You definitely did a wonderful job of making it look like a cozy home inside. Crusoe is so adorable!
Thanks Amy, we also loved the first van, and so building a second was going to be tricky! Still, we are really enjoying Safari. Thanks for watching, Crusoe says Hi! 👍🙏🚐
Ok first, your little one is so adorable! Second, you guys have made magic out of that van. Seeing it from the outside you’d never guess how luxurious and spacious it is inside!
My eyes are so enchanted to see all the beauty that is in your van. Between comfort, art design, and technology blend in harmony. Then, a warm and harmonious family adds to the plus points of your family's travel home story.
I've made it 14 minutes before stopping to comment, but I can't take it another second - YOUR BABY IS SOOOOO CUTE!!!!! He has distracted me from this entire video with his adorable coos, big blue eyes, and smiles galore. I think I'm going to have to watch this video 3 or 4 times to catch the actual van tour because I can't stop looking at him. What a happy and healthy little guy
Stunning!! Love all the unique decorative details! we had to go for a pull out bed because our van is tiny for 5 people and a dog, luckily our 3 kids can sleep through anything so we can clank as much as we like 😂👍
Five people and a dog sounds like the dream! Well done you guys, especially the sleep thing. Crusoe isn’t too bad, he can sleep through the sliding door slamming shut but rustle a plastic bag and you’re finished 😂😂 thanks so much for watching guys, really appreciate you being here and happy travels ❤️ 🚐 😊
This is the most amazing van build! I love all the beautiful woodwork mister“ I’m not a carpenter “ 😀! Such a lovely family. I wish you many years health and happiness in your beautiful van 😊.
Dear Tara, after watching your Wednesday video today, RUclips algorithms brought me back to this video which I remember having seen and happily seeing today again to see the master craftsmanship of John, I have seen many videos of vans interiors and yours is the one I like the most for it's wood work, colors, homeyness and appeal. Plus bonus seeing Crusoe almost the same age of Sawyer now. The family who bought Safari are blessed. Curiosity if you got any news from them. Bravo again. Going back in time does marvels. Cheers🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🇵🇹🏡🦋👶👶
Ah that is amazing Joanne, we loved building Safrai and are so glad you enjoyed it too! We haven't heard anything from them yet but I am sure they are loving her. Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
I love the bedroom. It looks so cozy and seperate from the rest of the van. I love the little homey touches like the drawer pulls, the lace on the table, and the metalic designs behind the sink. You even made room for all your spices in a cute way.
Hi Michelle, thanks very much for leaving us a comment! We are really proud of the build and have been loving travelling in it. Lots of adventures already had. If you come across any of our adventures that make you laugh let us know. The Chicken story is one of our favourites!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
You have every reason in the world to be proud of this masterpiece you have built it is one of the best I’ve seen. Great job love the way you did the bedroom…. It’s just fabulous what’s not to love
Wow Holly, thanks for such a wonderful and kind comment, that means a lot to us! We’re loving our home on wheels and are excited to have you along for the journey. Have a super week!
I've come here from the future - 4/13/24 - to say - Wow! John! You can literally build anything! I started watching when y'all are at the farm and Sawyer was 8 or 9 months. I'm having so much fun watching y'all "before" 😅😁🥰
Updated: I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc. People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others RUclipsrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with another traveler as I watched their RUclips channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell reception, Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery charger-( portable vehicle battery jumper cables ) *Vehicle Jumper cables *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. Exterior vehicle cameras Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies. Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Keep in contac with your family, friends, keep them updated etc. Although, I just noticed your RUclips channel, and other similar channels. You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. Keep your vehicle gas filled Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.

Sarah and I have just parked up under a waterfall in Scotland with a bottle of Prosecco, fish and chips to celebrate our first ever week of full time van life, we hunkered in and wanted to watch your van tour, I’m literally blown away, you guys have literally smashed it, the music, the slow motion B roll, the camera glides I was so impressed. You should both sit and just take a minute to realise what an epic job you’ve done on the van, filming it in such an artistic way and for raising such a strong little man. Such good people. X
Hi Lee, hi Sarah! Great to see you back and touring friends. Well done on your van completion. We missed you!! Thanks for watching this van tour. It had a bit of a shaky start which was disappointing, but we tweaked a few things and it’s now flying. Phew!!

One word: beautiful! I could move straight in. The wood, the design, the knobs, the colours, homely nicknacks.... loved your energy too, so have subscribed and will visit your back catalogue. Am guessing you've learned alot from your previous van as to what works and what doesn't.
Hi Sammi C. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend and thank you for subscribing. We have learned so much being on the road, and of course from building two vans. We hope you enjoy the back catalogue, there is a lot of fun stuff in there. We are also very excited about this Sunday’s video. Let us know what you think! 👍🙏❤️

@@TheNewbys I'll keep following you guys from Italy, dreaming big and trying someday to make it happen! 'Cause all the places I' ve been are the best memories ever.. I've been to Africa too.. With my two boys we've been to Ireland and Denmark and they still remember these great adventures! Maybe one day we'll make it to Lovatnet in Norway or we'll meet somewhere somehow around the world!
Hi Paola, it sounds like you have had some really great adventures with your boys! Keep in touch, you never know where the road takes us, perhaps those paths cross. 😀🙏🚐
Really Innovative van conversion and what a fantastic family you are. I love your enthusiasm and your beautiful little boy clearly shares this with you and is such a happy little choppy. Good luck with all your travels.

OMG what an awesome van. was waiting patiently to see the finished article and what a treat. Well done, fantastic job and wishing the three of you great adventures in the coming years. Although, if I was to point out one little nit … it would be the very questionable jar of Marmite on the shelf 🤣🤣. All joking aside, the van is fantastic and looking forward to more videos.
Hi Declan, great to hear from you. Thanks so much! Marmite!! You’re right there. Tara loves it, and is slowly creating a convert in John, Crusoe, is yet to try it…. Hmm maybe something to try this afternoon! 😂👍👍 Thanks for watching friend. Great to have you along for the ride!
@@TheNewbys Yup, we do have one right at home aswell but I do prefer Vegemite or even better; Chyvanprash from Indian company Dabur! That on a sandwich!
I loved your energy for this amazing build. This is so handy and lovely and I swear, if I had the money I would ask you to help me build a van because your ideas were great and this felt so homey and cozy. The bed area is a special feature, very clever indeed and it was quite lovely to see your ideas for a baby on the road. This is a fantastic build and I hope you enjoy all your great and small adventures!
You state your not a wood worker. That wood working is beautiful. I also like your intro, as you watch and you like it give us a thumbs up. The politest
Hi Sue, thank you for watching friend and thanks for leaving us a comment. John does love to mess around with wood. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
E' un bel furgone ma per me organizzato male, manca un angolino dove sedersi tranquilli, manca il bagno che anche seppur piccolo serve, anche perche' d'inverno la doccia fuori anche no, e il vasino sinceramente se uno cucina no, mi spiace ma mancano tante cosine, specie avendo un bambino piccolo.
Brilliant! John I cannot believe you are not a carpenter by trade! WOW! Again, I’m going backwards on your videos, just watched the entire van build and so happy I did what an incredible job!! ~Cara 😊
Hi Cara! Thank you for watching friend. This was one of our favourite projects, we loved it. Probably have to build a bigger one now too, what with another Newby on the way! ❤️🚐🚐🙏
Concept bien réfléchi, belles finitions agréables à l'oeil. Confortables aménagements pour faciliter le quotidien, fonctionnel à souhaits. Design raffiné, j''adore ! Merci à vous trois de nous avoir fait partager votre sweet home🙏🙏🙏. Votre enfant est plein de vie, il respire le bien-être 💖
Absolutely beautifully designed & done!!! Deff would consider Van Life in this, this is the way to go, to actually enjoy traveling, this is deff the van!!! Great Job Guys, Safe Travels .. Your baby so precious , smiling at his daddy as he talks to cute!!!
What a beautiful build! It feels like a home, and your little guy looks like he is sooo happy! May you enjoy many happy moments as a lovely little family in your mobile, cozy haven!

I've made it 14 minutes before stopping to comment, but I can't take it another second - YOUR BABY IS SOOOOO CUTE!!!!! He has distracted me from this entire video with his adorable coos, big blue eyes, and smiles galore. I think I'm going to have to watch this video 3 or 4 times to catch the actual van tour because I can't stop looking at him. What a happy and healthy little guy
Ahh that made us really smile Shannon, thank you! He makes us laugh and smile and so very happy every happy, we feel very lucky to be his mum and dad.
Yours is the most unique van I have seen. Love your layout for kitchen & all the woodwork that you guys did, & wonderful family.
Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. kind words. ❤️👍🙏
Stunning!! Love all the unique decorative details! we had to go for a pull out bed because our van is tiny for 5 people and a dog, luckily our 3 kids can sleep through anything so we can clank as much as we like 😂👍
Five people and a dog sounds like the dream! Well done you guys, especially the sleep thing. Crusoe isn’t too bad, he can sleep through the sliding door slamming shut but rustle a plastic bag and you’re finished 😂😂 thanks so much for watching guys, really appreciate you being here and happy travels ❤️ 🚐 😊
This is the most amazing van build! I love all the beautiful woodwork mister“ I’m not a carpenter “ 😀! Such a lovely family. I wish you many years health and happiness in your beautiful van 😊.
Hi J L. Great to hear from you. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Dear Tara, after watching your Wednesday video today, RUclips algorithms brought me back to this video which I remember having seen and happily seeing today again to see the master craftsmanship of John, I have seen many videos of vans interiors and yours is the one I like the most for it's wood work, colors, homeyness and appeal. Plus bonus seeing Crusoe almost the same age of Sawyer now. The family who bought Safari are blessed. Curiosity if you got any news from them. Bravo again. Going back in time does marvels. Cheers🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🇵🇹🏡🦋👶👶
Ah that is amazing Joanne, we loved building Safrai and are so glad you enjoyed it too! We haven't heard anything from them yet but I am sure they are loving her. Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
I love the bedroom. It looks so cozy and seperate from the rest of the van. I love the little homey touches like the drawer pulls, the lace on the table, and the metalic designs behind the sink. You even made room for all your spices in a cute way.
This must be the best looking van around, and so practical! Love your wood work and big kitchen and sleeping across the van. Enjoy your travels 🚐
Hi Nadine, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend and thanks for your lovely comment. 👍👍🚐🚐❤️
Beautiful and functional build! Very talented on that woodwork too! Love that you involved the baby in the tour! Adorable!
Hi Michelle, thanks very much for leaving us a comment! We are really proud of the build and have been loving travelling in it. Lots of adventures already had. If you come across any of our adventures that make you laugh let us know. The Chicken story is one of our favourites!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
You have every reason in the world to be proud of this masterpiece you have built it is one of the best I’ve seen. Great job love the way you did the bedroom…. It’s just fabulous what’s not to love
Wow Holly, thanks for such a wonderful and kind comment, that means a lot to us! We’re loving our home on wheels and are excited to have you along for the journey. Have a super week!
I've come here from the future - 4/13/24 - to say - Wow! John! You can literally build anything!
I started watching when y'all are at the farm and Sawyer was 8 or 9 months.
I'm having so much fun watching y'all "before" 😅😁🥰
Updated:
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc.
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others RUclipsrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with another traveler as I watched their RUclips channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell reception,
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery charger-( portable vehicle battery jumper cables )
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
Exterior vehicle cameras
Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Keep in contac with your family, friends, keep them updated etc.
Although, I just noticed your RUclips channel, and other similar channels.
You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
Keep your vehicle gas filled
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc.
Please Be Safe...

What a fantastic build and absolutely beautiful little family! Thanks for sharing your journey and adventures with us all.
Thank you Adriana!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
The leaf shaped curve bed nook is my favourite
Sarah and I have just parked up under a waterfall in Scotland with a bottle of Prosecco, fish and chips to celebrate our first ever week of full time van life, we hunkered in and wanted to watch your van tour, I’m literally blown away, you guys have literally smashed it, the music, the slow motion B roll, the camera glides I was so impressed. You should both sit and just take a minute to realise what an epic job you’ve done on the van, filming it in such an artistic way and for raising such a strong little man. Such good people. X
Hi Lee, hi Sarah! Great to see you back and touring friends. Well done on your van completion. We missed you!! Thanks for watching this van tour. It had a bit of a shaky start which was disappointing, but we tweaked a few things and it’s now flying. Phew!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Such a gorgeous home, beautiful family and cutest baby ever! Crusoe is so alert and engaged! Such a lucky boy to have such involved and caring parents. Thanks for bringing me along on your adventures! Love and prayers from SC, USA Jane

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! You three have so much energy...it's infectious. 😊
Hi Rhonda, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Todays video should be a fun one too, if you watch it let us know what you think, it is one of our favourites. ❤️🙏🐪
One word: beautiful! I could move straight in. The wood, the design, the knobs, the colours, homely nicknacks.... loved your energy too, so have subscribed and will visit your back catalogue. Am guessing you've learned alot from your previous van as to what works and what doesn't.
Hi Sammi C. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend and thank you for subscribing. We have learned so much being on the road, and of course from building two vans. We hope you enjoy the back catalogue, there is a lot of fun stuff in there. We are also very excited about this Sunday’s video. Let us know what you think! 👍🙏❤️
What a great way to start a new life! Crusoe will treasure this adventure and all the magic moments along the way!
Hi Paola, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we really hope Crusoe grows strong because of these experiences. Lots of magic moments. We have just been in Jordan, and our little man has crossed a desert already. Wow!! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
@@TheNewbys I'll keep following you guys from Italy, dreaming big and trying someday to make it happen! 'Cause all the places I' ve been are the best memories ever.. I've been to Africa too.. With my two boys we've been to Ireland and Denmark and they still remember these great adventures! Maybe one day we'll make it to Lovatnet in Norway or we'll meet somewhere somehow around the world!
Hi Paola, it sounds like you have had some really great adventures with your boys!
Keep in touch, you never know where the road takes us, perhaps those paths cross. 😀🙏🚐
John is a brilliant carpenter and Tara’s contributions are beautiful. It is one of the best vans I’ve seen.
Thank you so much Shirley, that is so kind of you to say ❤️❤️❤️
Really Innovative van conversion and what a fantastic family you are. I love your enthusiasm and your beautiful little boy clearly shares this with you and is such a happy little choppy. Good luck with all your travels.

Safe travels!
@@gypsybelle4757 Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Thanks so much taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
I have a question. Where is going to sleep the baby when he growns up?
Hi Pynen, nothing is forever friend. I think we can just build a bigger van? Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️👍
OMG what an awesome van. was waiting patiently to see the finished article and what a treat. Well done, fantastic job and wishing the three of you great adventures in the coming years. Although, if I was to point out one little nit … it would be the very questionable jar of Marmite on the shelf 🤣🤣. All joking aside, the van is fantastic and looking forward to more videos.
Hi Declan, great to hear from you. Thanks so much! Marmite!! You’re right there. Tara loves it, and is slowly creating a convert in John, Crusoe, is yet to try it…. Hmm maybe something to try this afternoon! 😂👍👍 Thanks for watching friend. Great to have you along for the ride!
@@TheNewbys Yup, we do have one right at home aswell but I do prefer Vegemite or even better;
Chyvanprash from Indian company Dabur! That on a sandwich!
Ooo we’re not familiar with that one, we will have to give it a try!
@@TheNewbys It´s a ayurvedic paste that is very spicy and once you start - you are hooked for life. A better life!
Yum yum Meinart, we are going to remember that one. Thanks🙏
I loved your energy for this amazing build. This is so handy and lovely and I swear, if I had the money I would ask you to help me build a van because your ideas were great and this felt so homey and cozy.
The bed area is a special feature, very clever indeed and it was quite lovely to see your ideas for a baby on the road. This is a fantastic build and I hope you enjoy all your great and small adventures!
Thank you Khoha! That’s such a nice comment to read. Good luck with your own build! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍🙏❤️
You state your not a wood worker. That wood working is beautiful. I also like your intro, as you watch and you like it give us a thumbs up. The politest
Hi Sue, thank you for watching friend and thanks for leaving us a comment. John does love to mess around with wood. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
E' un bel furgone ma per me organizzato male, manca un angolino dove sedersi tranquilli, manca il bagno che anche seppur piccolo serve, anche perche' d'inverno la doccia fuori anche no, e il vasino sinceramente se uno cucina no, mi spiace ma mancano tante cosine, specie avendo un bambino piccolo.
Thanks for watching friend.
The van is si cozy and well thought but the baby grabbed my attention more with his cuteness.
Thanks Maria!!
Brilliant! John I cannot believe you are not a carpenter by trade! WOW! Again, I’m going backwards on your videos, just watched the entire van build and so happy I did what an incredible job!! ~Cara 😊
Hi Cara! Thank you for watching friend. This was one of our favourite projects, we loved it. Probably have to build a bigger one now too, what with another Newby on the way! ❤️🚐🚐🙏
Concept bien réfléchi, belles finitions agréables à l'oeil. Confortables aménagements pour faciliter le quotidien, fonctionnel à souhaits. Design raffiné, j''adore !
