Our van looks a little different to what she did 8 weeks ago, but the question is, at what cost? We're talking more literally than our sanity, that was questionable before we started! In this weeks episode we breakdown the costs for the different elements of the build, compare them to a more 'typical' van build, go through the pros and cons of building this kind of van, share ways you could do this with less than the ludicrous number of tools Jon has accumulated, talk through the things we would do differently next time and take you with us as we spend our first night in the van. Lets do this!

@crunchyfrog555 7 месяцев назад

I personally love what you've done. Not just the van itself, but the fact of how you run this channel. You offer step by step guides on hwo to do things. You offer clear little practical tips that you've picked up and best of all you list the exact prices for things. This is EXACTLY how RU-vid beats shitty TV these days. I can't sing your praises enough. And you were right about the bungies - the single metal rail to hold those boxes in the cupboards looks better. I'm defo surprised about how cheap the electrics were - the prices do seem to be coming down as tech improves.

@truebluetravellers 7 месяцев назад

That’s ever so kind of you to say thank you and it’s so nice to hear that the videos are helpful. We’ve learnt to do most things by watching RU-vid so nice to be able to pay it forward 💙 Electrical components do seem to be getting better and cheaper.

Wow that cost!!! SO much cheaper than the Landrover! (Granted the Landrover is more expensive to buy). That van too looks absolutely amazing! And your videos building it made it look so ‘doable’. I’ve done my own car mechanics for 30 years and do give most other maintenance jobs a go, and your detailed vids really make it look achievable. (Wouldn’t have thought so until your vids!) Thanks guys! Enjoy your next road trip!

@AmeliaPremium 7 месяцев назад

I’m sure there are other non van people like me who have really enjoyed watching this build (thanks YT algorithm 😂). The finish is superb but I’m intrigued by the practicality of the shower/toilet room and would have liked to have seen your experience of water pressure/amount of hot water/how you deal with the waste water etc. I assume there are some compromises to showering in the van but with the high standard of the rest of the build maybe there isn’t?

@truebluetravellers 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Amelia, yep that’s going to be the big test, the water, hopefully all the water doesn’t freeze as it’s inside, the pressure is quite good and yeah we will keep you updated as we go on the trip, the hot water tank is 10l so should be plenty for both in the shower as we always have to use water sparingly anyway due to it being quite hard to source sometimes, it’s a case of rinse off soap up and rinse off so yeah definitely a compromise but to be honest most things in the van are , the shower room is a bit of a luxury in a camper but this one is definitely the biggest shower room we have had so should be good hopefully 😁

@andrewjones-productions 7 месяцев назад

You are really very kind and generous to not only explain the costs but to also prepare a spreadsheet for people to look at. Not only that, but you even provide an email address for people to contact you to ask where you got certain items! That is absolutely fantastic! So many channels on RU-vid will not share this information. I understand people wanting to keep finances private and also information about certain items that are one-offs or not readily available, but I can't get my head around why people won't share information about things anyone can order online or buy at a shop. The both of you differentiate with your honesty and transparency and as a result, I sincerely hope that your channel deservedly grows massively. Won't you need to change your tyres to winter ones if driving in snow and ice or will you be using snow chains? Depending on the country, you may be legally required to fit proper winter tyres. I've tried off-road all-season tyres here in Japan. They are useless in comparison with proper winter tyres and in anycase, we are required to fit winter tyres by law if travelling in snow country.

@truebluetravellers 7 месяцев назад

Thanks very much Andrew that’s so kind of you to say, So the tyres we have fitted are snow rated and yep we have got snow chains too incase we need them so hopefully we will be all good 👍💙

@denisescally7090 7 месяцев назад

One big saving of course for time and money is that it is ready insulated and no future rust issues. Lovely job, mine won’t cost that much cos I haven’t got £25k it’ll just be a bit more rustic looking. I live East Coast Scotland but will concede that West will give you more bang for your buck and snow is due ❄️ thanks again for sharing your build 🎉

@truebluetravellers 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Denise, yeah just like you say the insulation and no rust is a big benefit, it would be nice to do a budget one really as I think you could do it for probably £5k less and not be that much different in function just won’t be as bling with wheels etc but still be a cracking camper

An Epic Build for Epic upcoming adventures far and wide. Jon did miss a trick of adding one last Tool talk Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing you first real trip away. I have started to look at Supermarket Delivery Vans in a very different light and it looks like it is only the Sainsbury van and possibly Waitrose Van, not had on stop long enough to have a proper look round. the Box looks to be slightly longer too. I thought you were in Sandringham before you said that was were you were. Spent a far bit of time wondering around there with my Girls before they started to not want to do days out like that. It won't be long before they start to not want to come away with us. I think they now use proper Auto boxes on Sprinters now after the problems that sprint shift. Our is finally going into a Garage in Monday to have the Gearbox issue sorted and whilst they have it fix an oil leak and change the rear shocks as they are very crusty, and my drive isn't the best place to be jacking up the Motorhome to change them myself.

@truebluetravellers 7 месяцев назад

@Simon_W74 7 месяцев назад

@@truebluetravellers Not expecting it to be cheap. Labour will run the cost up. Especially because of the awkward to work on factor with it being an A Class Motorhome, changing the headlight bulbs is a major faff, and it easier to buy new mounting lugs and just thump out the unit and replace broken lugs when about to refit it. As you have to get past the remains of the old inner wings before you hit the void to the side of them where the lights are housed. What you gain in space on the inside without the length you pay for when thing need fixing in the engine bay.

Try and get a second camper that is fully equipped to your specifications in perfect technical order, no repair, brand new interior ready to go for 25 grand, I don't think so. You will never find anything like it... so you saved money. On top of that and this is the big one. You did it together and created memory's to treasure for the rest of your life and by doing that, created video evidence of the howl process helping others wist providing entertainment for all to watch. If that isn't a cool thing, I don't no what is. I have therapy enjoyed the journey with you watching you build your camping van and wish you the best holidays possible in it in the future. Can't wait for the next build.....😊

The finished article looks superb. Credit to you both. A pleasure to have joined you on the journey and here’s to fun in Scotland. Loved the bloopers, laughed so much at the amount of f**ks coming out of Jess’s mouth 😂.

Just got rid of my 69 plate sprinter auto was a good van overall never had to replace much apart from wear and tear if you put accelerator to pressure plate on floor on motorway then push beyond this again so pedal on actual floor puts it in sport mode lol gears drop turbo sounds with dump .Also if you push the brake pedal hard when stationary it should put the van on hold without needing to use handbrake....i ran this van 210000 miles .Delivery of my 73 plate in 2 weeks🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@truebluetravellers 7 месяцев назад

Nice, I had the new sprinter for work and really like them, not that I don’t like the older ones but the newer ones are just like more of a car drive again 👍
