How Much Did My New Campervan Cost? 

I can tell you that for the spec you described in the van and the description with mileage, you got a very good deal indeed. With the four new tyres - thats top draw!!

This was very helpful as I’m planning a move soon and selling my current vehicle. Shipping it is just too expensive. So your video really gave me a lot of information. Thank you!

Hi again Ruth. One of the options Terry was looking at doing before he got I'll, was widening the bed across to the worktop. He was planning to make a couple of boxes that fitted into the alley way and then make new cushion for it. When Ernie and Terry went to Benidorm in it, Terry slept in the walkway, in a sleeping bag! Never again, he said! Anyway, really enjoying your blogs and hope to see many more. Cheers, 👍👍

新しいバンライフの始まりですね☺️ルースさんの今までの日本での経験が役に立つ時ですね👍ルースさんの理想のキャンピングカーに仕上げて楽しいバンライフをスタートしてください😉

I bought a panel van 3 years ago for 4k with much higher milage and have spent around 3k to convert it. I cant stand up in it but it has been amazing for our family adventures. The prices for vans suitable for conversion and campervans have sky-rocketed since, so I think you have made a great deal with the price you paid. Also it is 90% done, so by spending another 1-3k with some lithium batteries, 12v electrics and a fridge, it should be pretty complete. Looking forward to the improvements. Subscribed.

スコットランドのこと 知らないので これからの旅が楽しみです♪ 運転気をつけて頑張ってください！

いい買い物しましたね、ほとんど改造する必要がないですし、日本でもその値段では 買えないと思います。ボディの色もスコットランドにぴったりです😃

I've beem watching several of your latest videos and this is it! I'm doing it! I have lots of time now to travel all over Europe since my wife passed away and a Van like yours will do it for me, I am selling my Renault and will definitely get a Toyota, I had a small one before and never had any problems with it. Thanks for sharing, love your videos and looking forward to many more!

Hello Ruth, nice to see you here. In my opinion,it is a very good deal to have a great journey with this cool red queen☺. Your detailed explanation about your purchase and your attention to every aspect is very impressive. I wish you the best of luck with your new channel.

Hi Ruth I’m playing catch-up as I only found your channel a couple of days ago, your van is ideal and with a few modifications will be great, most of which will have been done as I’m 6 months behind. Enjoying your videos well done. Cheers Mike🍷

赤い車と赤いジャケット。相変わらず画像センス良いですね。

いい車を買ったと思います。 これからの行かれる旅先の情報を楽しみにしています。

スコットランドを沢山見たいです 沢山紹介してください、ルースさんが元気で嬉しいです！

中間業者の利益が無く個人売買のリスクを考えた金額からすると、妥当且つかなりお買い得な金額ですね。 C-ListをDLしました、ありがとうです。1-2週間以上車内生活をするという点から考えるキャンパー生活には、身長と車高、調理とシャワーの水と暖房・エネルギーの重要度が今までの動画からも、十分伝えて頂いており実際に購入とのことで改めて理解が深くなりました。 動画のテンポや画角、アングルがとても見やすく西成の自販機あたりからずーっと見させていただいています。

ルースさんテキパキしていてすごいです！ 警察バス改造の経験がここで生きてくるとは思いませんでしたw トヨタハイエースは安定した性能で日本では広く支持されているのでgood choiceだと思います。

That’s a very thorough checklist.

Great upload Ruth, Really enjoying your journey, bloody brilliant channel,

理想のキャンピングカーが見つかって良かったですね👍

さすがですね、ルースさんの金銭感覚は銀行レベルです。

Brilliant price, thanks for the video, it was very helpful to me

Great deal I think. I love the simplistic set up.

Excellent... you're living the dream (my dream!). Would LOVE to be brave enough to take off like that! Happy St Andrew's Day from your Irish followers!

I am thinking of buying a secondhand campervan and this has been really helpful, thank you. Good luck with your travels....looking forward to following your adventures.

ルースさんと相棒のアーニーに会えて嬉しいです。前の2台で培ったD IＹを活かして旅に出るまでも是非紹介してください。

Amaizing,your new project. Now I am building a camper van in belgium. This summer we are going to sweeden.

It sounds like a reasonable price. Hopefully it will take you on many joyful adventures. 👍

I’ve heard the non turbo diesel is the best engine I’d like a hiace as well if you know you know good on ya for finding a belta

ルース頑張ってるね良い動画を上げてください楽しみにしてまーす

I think that’s an amazing price Ruth for your new van. It looks lovely and certainly has all the space one person should need for day to day use. Slightly envious lol 😂! Enjoy it and I’ll look forward to seeing your vlogs about your travels in it! Kindest regards

You have a bargain there compared to the inflated prices of some dealers! Another geeat video Ruth ❤

You are happy Ruth, so it is priceless. The interior is a bit sterile, but you will make it nice :o)

ル―スさん、お久しぶりです。😂良い買い物ですね🎉

That seems like a great deal! Good luck and I look forward to seeing how you get on .

Good looking van. Good history. Good buy.

ルースさんの動画見つけた〜！！ 元気そうで、なによりです！ ショータと、合流してほしいな❤

お元気そうなルースさんのお顔が久しぶりに見れて嬉しくなりました。キャンピングカーを買ったんですね。ショータと過ごした経験が生かされますね。赤いキャンピングカーもとても可愛いです。これからの旅が楽しみです。

Yes! It is a good deal, good job Ruth❤

As expected, Mr. Ruth is a solid person! I think the amount is apt.

Lol no idea if it's a good deal or not, all I care about is watching the adventure. :p Just sub'd and started watching your vids, looking forward to exploring from my computer is boring ole Minnesota.

Based on prices in the US, that's a great deal. I'm looking forward to learn how it works out for you.

This has been a very helpful video, thank you, I've just subscribed to your channel. May I ask what sort of heating system you have and if you help others with the electrical setup? Happy travels! 🚐

A very good deal.

Ruth has many Japanese fans.　That's why a lot of videos are being played, good luck with your trip. Thank you for remembering Japanese funny man Syota. haha

ルースさん元気そうでよかった。安心しました。 是非、日本の都道府県制覇を再開することを楽しみにしています。 ーーーーー I'm glad Ruth is fine. relieved. I am looking forward to resuming the prefectural conquest of Japan.

Cool didnt know uk had toyota hiace I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say they are the best cars in the world the only thing that kills them is rust

I think the price was good, and only 90k miles on the clock.

In shock at your price! And red!!!

another great one !!!! wish could get this van in u.s. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where the hole are in the step it need welding could be a MOT failure

ルース再会できて、うれしいです。お元気そうでなによりです。又これから動画を楽しみにしています。

Great deal

As an avid hiace owner .. i think you got a very good deal .. man o man thats some interrogation list you come up with .. wooow 😎..anywhos ernies in good hands ..pip pips n carryon mzz pilgrims 😁

I think one of the two batteries under the bonnet will be a leisure battery.

When are you coming over to Canada????

good deal!

£6.600 bit of a bargain, lovely looking van, good old Ernie

TOYOTAを褒めてくれてありがとう。

Do you live in the camper fan permanently?

ルースさん、お元気でよかった！ スコットランドでもキャンピングカーを購入されたんですね。 映像で見るととてもいい車ですね。 DIY動画を楽しみにしてます(^o^)

トヨタディーゼル、マニュアル、キャンピング仕様車、いい買い物しましたね！日本で同じ仕様がほしいです。

Bomb proof van that

Nice van, are you a full time off grid van liver?

Check that the new Tyres are 8 Ply not 6 Ply ....

グランビアの車です。😊前にチキチキバンバンさんの同じような救急車みたいな車を買ったですか?動画をお願いします。😊

赤いキャンパー素敵です♪ 私のトラキャンも赤です(^^) 日本なら倍以上しますよ！

「Ernie」は優秀そうですﾈ☆良かった良かった☆.(How about this song?→Chelsea Williams - Toyota Song.ﾁｮｯﾄsituation違うけど...).

Tidiest van I have seen.

ルースさん元気でよかった。気を付けて旅をしてくださいね。

I like your longer videos close to 30 minuter or LONGER! You are an inspiration to all Wkmen! Can’t wait to follow along with all your Scottish adventures ❣️

久々ぶりにルースさんの姿を見れて良かったです。 良い車だと思います。 私も何年か前にルースさんのアーニーのベース車両の日本車名グランビアと言う車を所有してました。 3000ccのディーゼルでしたが。 アーニーはガソリン車ですか？ この車はほとんどトラブルもなく、乗れば乗るほどこの車の良さがわかってきますよ！ これからの旅、楽しみに日本から応援してますね。

As long a your happy with it and it fulfills your needs doesn't matter what it cost....you left nothing out with your list very thorough👍

ルースさん久しぶりです。日本中をサニーで旅しているのを楽しみにしてよく見ていました。今度はスコットランドの旅楽しみにしています。・・・・・nono

ルースさんをまた見れて嬉しいです😍 元気そうで良かった！！ 短くても良いので、たくさん動画アップしてくれたら嬉しいです！

何となく分かりました…多分😉 これからプチ旅するんですね♪ 気をつけて楽しんで下さいね。

時々映るスコットランドの自然がすばらしい!　アーニーが映える。立って生活できて、すでにキャンピングカー仕様というのは合理的で気持ちがいい。いい買い物だったと思います。憧れの気持ちが出てきた。私は車のDIYは関心がないですが、自然の中にアーニーやルースさんがいる回は毎回見ると思いますよ。日本の時と違って、ルースさんだけが写っている映像は清々しい。気持ちがいい。

You made a good purchase 100%. Camper van prices have gone up a lot during the pandemic and someone I work with got more money than he paid when he sold his van recently. The insurance you paid is reasonable too considering it has breakdown cover. I hope you never need it but it’s essential travelling around remote areas of Scotland…..! Looking forward to your next episode 😊

ルースさん元気そうで、よかった チャンネル登録します👍

Thank you so much for this video, I've been looking at buying a van for the past few months, but the costs even to buy an empty van have skyrocketed even since the start of the year, even before thinking about conversion costs! So now I'm looking at ones already converted so this video is super helpful to know what to look out for, thank you 😊

ルースさん、元気そうで良かった！　I’m so happy to see you on RU-vid again!!

素晴らしい人生の始まり、素晴らしい映画製作者、視聴者を楽しませ、壮観になるのに十分です。カジュアルな作品、ドローン映像の挿入まで見るのが楽しみです...

I think that was a fantastic price to pay for the van. It looks brilliant. Looking forward to following your adventures with Ernie 👍

いい買い物ですよ👍安い👏いちばんのポイントは故障が少ない日本のトヨタハイエースだから💪🤗

元気そうで安心しました。 アーニーとのジャーニーですね。 楽しみに待っています。

Just to add one important check and that is timing belt,an often forgotten item

ルースさんを久しぶりに見ました　元気そうで何よりです。 また翔太さんとのスコットランド二人旅が見たいです お願いしますね！😀

Sounds like a great bargain to me. Like you I have a strong preference for Toyotas, so reliable. Hope you love it

ルースさん久しぶり　元気そうでよかった。これから日本人の登録が増えるよ。自分は今登録したよ。

ルースさんお久しぶり！お元気そうで何よりです！貴女のファンです。アーニー「超かわいい」素敵なお買い物ができましたね！スコットランドの素晴らしい自然と貴女の楽しい毎日を楽しみにしています。

Great video Ruth. I have a tourneo that looked great when I bought it with full mot. I sold my Renault which was much older and didn't have power steering. I totally regret it. The tourneo is a complete rust box and the mot was dodgy which I found out a year later. I am going to look for a Toyota like yours now. I am also going to binge watch all your videos. Take care and stay safe. Tom.

Brilliant, informative video Ruth, safe travels, we adore Scotland and LOVE your channel xx

Hi Ruth, first, I wish you all the best in your travels. Thank you for all the information, very helpful . I was wondering if you make an income from al these videos as everyone seems to be doing them . I'm hoping to buy one either this year or early next year. Good luck, stay safe & happy always 👍

これからは、ショータと一緒にスコットランドトリップですね。 楽しみにしてます！

Japanese cars vans are 100% most reliable motors, hands down, Hiace van are very sort after sadly can be harder to find used parts for in the UK as high prices are paid from dealers to export them rather than break them, On the plus side they very rarely go wrong 😊, its brilliant that you seemed to had a good experience with the seller. But would not recommend ,giveing cash before hand to any seller, sadly there are lots of scammers out there, same thing happened to my friend, he lost 1k on a deposit for a car that probably never existed-owed by the scammer, so people beware, would recommend leaving it though pay pay if anyone feels the instant need to secure a purchase, then your cash will be protected-refunded if the worse should happen..great content Ruth and the Van ❤it

I've been watching it since my time in Japan. I think the price was just right. The second battery is safe and highly functional if you build it yourself with a LiFe battery. I'm looking forward to the pictures and report of the van's trip in the UK.

良い買い物でした。今後の活躍を楽しみにしています。

hi ace bulletproof mecanicals brilliant !

日本語ペラペラのルースさんを見慣れてて、今回の動画は世界向けだからか英語で話してて、でも日本語訳がついてて、新鮮で勉強にもなります😆 キャンピングカーと訳されてるけど、キャンパーバンと言われてますよね？世界的にはCamperVanが標準なんでしょうか…。てっきりモーターホームた思い込んでました🤭

That’s a very good price, We paid a lot more 4 years ago for the same year Hiace but it is a Devon conversion with water tank and leisure battery👍

Loved this video. Very informative.

Hello Ruth, this type of car is often used as an ambulance in Japan.I think it's a good purchase because of the high interior height.I'm looking forward to the evolution from here👍
