In today's van build video I got some help from ‪@UrbanVanlife‬ who drove all the way down from Liverpool to help me with the van conversion for 3 days. I can't thank them enough for the massive progress we made in helping me with the build and also teaching me lots of useful things along the way.

@daveash9572 2 года назад

Little tip for removing permanent marker, or sharpie ink. These pens usually use isopropyl alcohol as a solvent, so a dab of hand sanitiser will remove it. Failing that, go over it with the same pen, scribble all over it and wipe it off immediately with a cloth or your finger.

@moe_1886 2 года назад

I think we all need a Nick and Emma in our lives. I think it's a case of if the materials are available then Nick can fix it. I bet it eased your mind when one of the first things he did was to put the external electrics in the right place. They look busy people. Charlie and Lauren next on the list to have their diesel heater fitted. Are you going to get Nick & Emma to help you with the kitchen build in your camper. All the best mate. You've still got all your fingers so that's something in itself. 💪 Graham

This is going to sound strange but to get rid of permanent marker on the majority of hard surfaces squirt WD40 & Air Freshoner on the area at the same time. This is tried and tested. Have a dry cloth ready

@UrbanVanlife 2 года назад

man i tried every thing on that marker , I think he get it from NASA . it came off in the end and even thiners didn't want to take it off ,

@tony16614 2 года назад

Thinners will destroy the paintwork

@tony16614 2 года назад

The WD40 and Air freshener will work instantly that why I said have a dry cloth ready

@tony16614 2 года назад

Try it on any flat surface but not untreated wood as it's porous and the ink from the marker will sink in. I'm confident but I'll say good luck anyway.

@CokiMiguzu72 2 года назад

Can i suggest you something ? I noticed that in your videos, when you turn on the stove, it takes a long time to warm up a part of the car, so I thought I'd tell you what saved my life many times ... First you always have to have one small container in which you will pour water but not overflowing because you have to leave room for the water to boil, when it starts to evaporate then you feel that part is heating up. Sorry if there are grammatical errors but my english is very bad so this is due to google translate.😁 Greetings from Serbia ! 👋😀

@masteragario3335 2 года назад

Alcohol or acetone for cleaning marker. Or use the same marker with a rag, scribble over your error and wipe off quick. I just upgraded my LED lighting to RGBWW from RGB, Nobody told me that RGBWW uses 5 wires where as RGB uses 4 wire and a different controller. Of course I installed the lights before finding this out and now all my wiring is wrong. Hope that makes you feel just a little bit better.... (c:

@Wheres_wanda_wandering 2 года назад

This van CAN AND WILL BE awesome if you'd work on it with a better mindset. Dude...."Measure twice and cut once" and "There's never enough time to do it right the first time but plenty of time to do it twice". You're wasting time...and money and destroying this van.

First I'm surprised that there's a business that makes a living waiting for people to put the wrong fuel in their vehicle, I'm amazed you found such a service! BUT the icing on the cake is they arrive with a van that lets everyone know what you've done! "Wrong Fuel Doctor" Great service if you need it but having them turn up next to your car must be like walking through a door at the hospital that has a neon light saying "STD ENTRANCE". Glad you got it sorted, love your videos with warts and all experience gives me the confidence to try my own van conversion. I'm sure I can make more mistakes than you!
