Absolutely fantastic...
Tell us about the trips and how it is like to camp with...
Sorry for the silence yesterday - had a hectic day . Initially designed for Renda and me with space for the twin daughters on occasion . Didn't take into consideration that boyfriends want to go too. Great for two, good for 4 ,6 very cramped .

Love that.

Is it a project you’ll take on again?
After finishing the van I said no , but ended up redoing an old Mitsubishi camper that was standing in my driveway for years for the kids. Lockdown gave me some time to do it. That van was properly vrot . Just to give you idea. Some pre and halfway built pics . Havent taken any lately

Welcome to the Forum too.
I watched your latest video on YouTube yesterday. I have enjoyed watching all of your videos posted there.
Thank you- that means a lot to motivate me to do more. Youtube is a weird lonely space where you are continuously wondering if it is worth all the effort cause there not at all real money to be earned unless you have hundreds of thousands subscribers

You should start a business doing these builds, if you haven’t already.

Thank for the kind words. Thought about it long and hard. This is my passion which I love doing. The moment you build for someone else it becomes a totally different situation. Used to love photography until I did paid jobs. Just sucked the fun out of it. Maybe later but not feeling I'm good enough at it to do for others too. The amount of work is insane and therefor such a build will be expensive

Exactly. Or ask for something like solid oak cupboards that weigh a ton and is just wrong for a van.
