That roof corrugation adaptor was brilliant.

@Iveavan Год назад

There's nothing better then an tight fitting 'flange' 😎👊👌👍👍👍.

@Iveavan Год назад

& there you go! I've just given John, "the entitlements for an new sticker!" 😁👌👍👍👍.....

@petewarby7158 Год назад

🤣

@stevem3534 Год назад

Very neat, like that corrugated flange

@susangoodall5037 Год назад

One happy Man 😊

@sportgliderider Год назад

Nice one John. and i agree, clean and polish the roof now so its all clean before fitting more things. and about time someone made the fitting to level off the ridges in the roof, makes it easier to fit and gives a much better finish.

@drewselfridge2790 Год назад

John, just one word - Class!

@richardcordier9671 Год назад

Loved the TDF coverage hope Mandy ok keep going in France my self at the moment.

@keithmayhew4191 Год назад

I have no desire to do this myself but love watching you doing this. It's addictive can't wait for next episode

@Sammo-w2y Год назад

Great episode.

@bleeno6187 Год назад

Nice job John. 👏 For anyone wishing to remove 40 x 40 skylights and replace with a Maxxfan, the Sikaflex remover solvent was brilliant at getting the old Mastic off the roof.

@GadgetJohn Год назад

I made a video about that a few months ago 👍🏻

"If you don't make plans nothing can go wrong", Spike Milligan. Keep it coming John, I'm looking to you for inspiration for my next camper.

@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204 Год назад

good see got the van thanks lee

@nickdrury4931 Год назад

It’s great to see somebody so elated over making a hole!

@spitNsawdust Год назад

Haha! Watching your own ’how to vid’….brilliant! 😜👍

@parkay3560 Год назад

I bet you did a few deep intakes of breath cutting holes in the roof.John. I certainly did watching you cut them. I'm so relieved that everything worked out ok.That fitted plate was brilliant. Makes all those vids building up tape obsolite and such a good job. Glad to see you cracking on and TBH, the less folk "help" the more satisfaction you'll get from doing a fab job yourself. Great work, great video. Regards and respect-Kenny

@normancoutts Год назад

So pleased to see this build back on track. No need to rush eh?

@davidmbell Год назад

You can hear your mood lift in your voice in getting the first hole done and right. I know what that feels like. I enlarged the 300x300 hole in my caravan roof to fit a 400x400 rooflight and it’s scary as hell! And yeah I scratched the roof too.

@terrymanthorpe1454 Год назад

I’m a retired carpenter and and most of my work was making stairs on site for big companies on my own and I was left on my own then checked by the Structural engineer , site manager, and architect, then got paid , when I retired I thought I would do the odd job for a bit extra money , I got a job to do some 9 inch skirting in a house , but with the lady customer at home with the radio full blast and telling me that she would like all internal scribe joints to be mitred as less pencil marks , real carpenters will know that this is wrong , that was my last job for the General public , the people that can’t do it themselves are the people that always say ,DONT DO IT LIKE THIS , DO IT LIKE THAT , 🍺🍺

@JensGraikowski Год назад

It's nice to see things going well! You look so much happier! I also love how you made your own tutorial vids in the past to follow now. 😂 All the best! 🙏🏽😎

@mymatedavethedj Год назад

Brilliant 🤩

*Hey John, .... I am the SAME, (I'm better working alone ... I can concentrate on what i am doing, ) without distractions !! That is the KEY, .... Cheers !!!*

@lindahiggins7744 Год назад

Love watching Van build’s, great work John 👍👍👍👍👍

Hari Om Nothing at all wrong with taking pride in your work, John - including every wee bit o' polish!!! YAM xx

@LeisureBit Год назад

The roof adaptor looks like it made the job perfect - bet you’re glad that all went well - all the best of luck for the rest of your conversation- all the best, David 👍

@leetaylor5348 Год назад

Hey John it's got to be said ha ha , who's a clever guy then . !!!! No well done , it looks great .....

@hopesfreedom2322 Год назад

Like the roof rack, nice to have the solar away from the roof to be able to keep it spotless clean 😀

@kbiggs49 Год назад

Breathe and relax here we go, great to see you back GJ looking forward to seeing a pro at work.🤞

@geoffcampbell7846 Год назад

Bravo John. Onwards and upwards! Cheers 👋

@lesbowen1 Год назад

Good to see things going well. It's easy to overlook cleaning the roof really well afterwards and then getting a rust rash the first time it rains as all of the little metal particles produced by the jig saw start to corrode. Clearly won't be an issue for you. It looks really neat. Only 9999 jobs left :)

@mandycape Год назад

Good job John. Giving me plenty of ideas !

@DJRogEurotour Год назад

Looking good. Learning quickly & sharing, thats John!!!

@stek2190 Год назад

Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this build 👍

@jonathankeerie9129 Год назад

Another great vlog. Nice to see steady progress.

@jcbdiggers1 Год назад

Great Job there John..just take your time..plan the job at hand and take your time it's not a rush task..EPIC 👍

@psspete Год назад

Corrugated roof seal is expensive, but great template. Never used it as a seal. Cut pieces of 10mm cladding board to shape for the valleys . 2 fans, one right at the front, and one right at the back. Great job, take your time no prob

@ihate9-533 Год назад

going really well buddy, well done, enjoying the progress !

@VanlifeHQ Год назад

Nicely done John, when I fitted my window I made the frame insert then did exactly what you did on roof that way no mistakes Onwards and upwards mate while it’s good to have helping hands it can be to overwhelming a slip of construction can be expensive. Your van your standards !

@zx10rmac84 Год назад

Look at that confidence, he'll of a Job lad, keep er lit ✌️🇬🇧 wee tip any leaks showing dry off cover with vasaline until it stops raining.. Then refit. Same for windows 👌😉

@sewjojosewingandcrafts3679 Год назад

🤣🤣🤣 I've only got a few seconds into the video and I'm chuckling already! Ah bless you John. You'll not make the same mistake again 😉

@sewjojosewingandcrafts3679 Год назад

Just to add. I don't think there is such a thing as too much Sikaflex 😆. We didn't put quite enough on ours to start with and it leaked through the screw holes. So we just added more! Loved the look on your face when you checked out your first hole. You were like a little kid. Brilliant John.

@donreeve5827 Год назад

Good to see you back on form john

@Scud_and_thesTig Год назад

Rivalling Em n Lou with the amount of flange in this video!

@petewarby7158 Год назад

Cracking vid, I think you've got a large fan base that are long forward to the next installment. You seem a lot happier which is good to see bud.

@Flossy_tops Год назад

That’s better!! and what a cracking idea with the ridge flange 👍🍻

@peacepoppy3809 Год назад

@stephenbulmer7148 Год назад

nice tidy job john, awesome

@mikebourke1185 Год назад

Well Done John..👍

@stevesiveco4535 Год назад

Great job. They'll never leak 😃 I totally get working on your own. I've always done it, professionally and when I've built my vans. I just get frustrated with other people around me. Although I do get offers of help. I have to politely decline 🙂

@debshamish6533 Год назад

Great job John - never in doubt 💪…… Not that I know the first thing about converting a van, but in my methodical little Virgo brain (everything on order😂), I’d start from the top and work my way down too. Looking super tidy 👍

@The_Breeze1 Год назад

Everything fit ! Hurray-no dramas this time 😅

@pamfreeman5197 Год назад

Great stuff John... and with no outside "interference"! Ahem! looks proper dinky... damn smart! Keep at it, that lad! xx

@davidcrewe6318 Год назад

Nice one john keep up the go work.

@hopesfreedom2322 Год назад

Looking sweet John 👌

@stevebrown6665 Год назад

Neat job It will stay cleaner if polished the roof that is

@stephenjamieson1003 Год назад

Looking good nice one 👍

@Silvestmentpms Год назад

You are definitely better doing this build alone, that way you only have yourself to blame. Not that you’ll be blaming 😅👍🏻 good video John it’s great to see you in your element

@eddvanlife7396 Год назад

Neat job John. Wish they manufacture the flange when I did mine great product although a little pricey for what it is. When it's cats and dogs outside always hoping there will not be leaks.

@davidduval-hall449 Год назад

Well done John says the man who had 3 windows cut and none fitted, so moral for me is let then that know do it 😄 🤣 😂 😆

@denisscott3073 Год назад

Hi John.👋 just us 2 saying hi and thanks for sharing this video update and information. 🤔 den and sue 👍👍🤞🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

Epic.

@ad-van-ture Год назад

Nice one👍

@juliafuhrmann369 Год назад

👍🥳 perfect 🥳

@greenerschannel Год назад

If your polishing the roof it's worth putting down a good layer of wax down to protecting it. Some waxes can last up to 12 months. Something like soft99 fusso

@ian_morg Год назад

Fnar you said flange fnar 😂😂😂 Great work, you’re a braver boy than me. I’d be worried I’d get it wrong (I won’t mention previous escapades 😂😂) and get someone “professional” in to do it however the more I see people doing it themselves like you have again maybe I’d give it a go….maybe 😬😬😬

@jaredb9281 Год назад

Nice work. Definitely concur with the 'too many cooks spoil the broth, so work alone' thinking. Unless you need expert trades or you are used to working closely with someone on projects, I've found far more mistakes creep in when there's distractions.

@greigallan1973 Год назад

Hi John. Great video mate and the van is starting to get there. Very excited to see your build going ahead and see what you are doing. What’s your completion date goal ?

@robertvass2756 Год назад

I wish I was as good at these as you! I recently fitted my MaxxFan and a roof window in the same two place as you did, and the window leaks :(

@charliegould5865 Год назад

What a brilliant idea that profile panel is for the roof, it’s about time someone made them. I take it they are available for other makes of vans like the Ford Transit. How many times did you check the size you marked out before you cut anything?

@malcolmrowe5031 Год назад

Rather than putting masking tape around the hole, put it on the base of the jigsaw itself, that'll help prevent scratches

@GadgetJohn Год назад

No, if you do it your way you drag all the swarf with you on the tape of the jigsaw, so remove the plate and tape on the surface, that’s the best way.

@regnbean67 Год назад

Hi John. Great video. Good to see you happy getting on with the build. Just to confirm - Sikaflex the flange to the roof then Sikaflex the Maxxfan to the flange? No screws? 😎👍

@kellydodds9433 Год назад

Hi where can I get the corrugating adapter please?

@thewelshcamper2049 Год назад

john are u going to do your own thing with the electrics are are you tempted with the ecoflow power hub?

@MotorhomeTrio Год назад

Were you not tempted to fit the Mule roof rack system John? Look forward to watching you progress on the build 👍🏻

@GadgetJohn Год назад

No, that's far too heavy, this is a simple and lightweight build.

@kstewart3657 Год назад

When you fitted the flange did you trim back the masking tape so that the flange was glued directly to the roof?

@GadgetJohn Год назад

Yes, the tape was removed after cutting the hole, I cleaned up the swarf and used alcohol cleaner to prepare the area and then stuck the flange down directly onto the roof, the tape you see after is to keep the area clean of sikkaflex.

Over £600 worth of fans I'm gussing very smart roof rack

@aviewonwheels5843 Год назад

Not gonna lie, I was nervous watching the cutting out... Yep, sometimes better to just take your time and figure it out your own way.

@henrybarnett1063 Год назад

I was wondering if you primed the cut metal as other vids do? Any way I know what you mean by working on your own . Cheers John

@GadgetJohn Год назад

I said in the video I painted the cut edge 👍🏻

@markpullinger3916 Год назад

Hi John did the ridge frame come in pack or was it extra ?

@GadgetJohn Год назад

That was extra.

@grahamgraham1624 Год назад

Was that the 400x400mm maxairfan or the 350x350mm ?? Saw a post about the smaller one fitting better at the front on the flat area.

@GadgetJohn Год назад

They are both 400 x 400, mentioned at the start of the video 👍🏻

@ianhardy576 Год назад

Hi John have been to nec today when on the max fan stand I was trying to explain that in your video your flang didn't have lots of screw holes round it to screw it to the roof and you bonded it was I right

@GadgetJohn Год назад

The one I used has markings where you can screw it in, but no holes.

@ianhardy576 Год назад

@@GadgetJohn thank you John they are in the same hall as my rider so maybe you could let them know as lots of holes to screw it down is not inviting that’s the only reason I didn’t buy one thank you for replying 👍

@kelsvlogs52 Год назад

Can you please let us know which solar you get and where from? We have a van similar to Mandys and debating whether to get solar put on. I currently don't have the funds but I'm thinking ahead Thanks

@GadgetJohn Год назад

My solar won't be suitable for Mandys van. I fitted solar on her van in a video a few months ago.

@johncullerton Год назад

Hi John, Great video as per normal. Just a quick query, is sycaflex (sic) just a brand of sealant or is it genuinely better? Asking as a novice 🙂

@GadgetJohn Год назад

Sikaflex is by far the superior product for any task to bond something to a moving vehicle.

@johncullerton Год назад

@@GadgetJohn Thanks, I'd probably have gone with B&Q box standard thinking they were all the same but it (Sikaflex) does keep popping up in vanlife you tubers videos. Cheers. I'd love to be able to help with your build but a) you really don't need me and b) I've no real transferrable skills unless you want an opinion on insurance...And now everyone's gone to sleep🙄
