 Six months ago we set out to transform a Mercedes Sprinter into our very own golf tour bus Which you will have seen in some of the recent videos and we thought you might like to see how we transform this Into this. Oh And a word of warning there is no golf featured in this video You can test more in a normal in person. Welcome to what is definitely episode six I can report Hannah is back from a week and a party and will make an appearance in this video shortly Just a quick word of warning if you are considering a van that will don't have a garage like we do Be prepared to have this kind of thing going on Power tools being charged on the table wood paneling in the corner of the kitchen We're okay with it Someone in the household isn't let me show you another piece in the hallway framing anyway Let's crack on and see what we're doing in today's or this week's episode It's a horrible little spider just hid behind my mirror If I know he comes it's just close If Hannah sees that she'll have a heart attack. He's not pretty nice, is he? Where is he? There he is. He climbs in behind the mirror just to demonstrate So we're going on a trip out today to Brombra to a shop that sells all things Camper that really isn't it? Yeah, and we thought it'd be nice to go and see things in the flesh rather than just buying them online So we're gonna look at things like a sink Hub water heaters water heaters gas bottles. Yeah the lot So should be quite exciting. I don't know what what we'll end up buying Well, it's just quite nice that we're doing interior bits Because all we've done so far is the foundations which will always been you know It's just that's just been a long haul on it. Yeah Now it's a bunch of bits in that like working bits inside you feel like you get somewhere with the van. So yeah And it's our first real seems like our first trip out of the van. Yeah But it's not No, it's not the van's actually done hundreds of miles It's been all over Scotland in the last two or three months where we get the darting off and doing work It's been all over Scotland. It's been on ferry boats. It's been up to the aisles of Scotland But in terms of the channel, we haven't really been very far yet, have we? It's a shame it hasn't been finished because it would have been used an awful lot in these last couple of months Can't wait. It'll definitely get used a lot when it's done anyway. We were trying to get like a corner unit Which again, it's quite deep isn't it? Yeah, but again not taking up Yeah But we're just measuring up now to see if the sink and the hub that we like will fit where we want them So so we've actually made some purchases, which we weren't quite expecting So we're just waiting to pick them up now So we're just heading back now, but we've bought a heater and a fridge How'd you feel? A little bit sick because it was Well the heater was, I was net, we're not 100% we're even having a heater in. I suppose it sounds a bit daft but unsure on the heater So that was a bit of an expensive one and the fridge again Little bit more than we wanted to pay, but there you go But now they look good. Well, you went for a look around And obviously it wouldn't be a trip out in the van without And it was me this time It's you every time. What do you mean this time? Right, we're just unboxing our first purchase, which is our heater, which is what what's it called? Propex heat source HF 2000 And basically you could you could choose a diesel heater which many people fit and again I think it's quite a cost-effective way of doing it This thing is gonna be we're gonna use our LPG gas bottle, which will be where we get our energy source for our our cooker, our burns rather And our hobs, three goes about it that and now we can also power this heater as well That's the plan it's gonna fit underneath the kitchen unit So we're going to install that before we do anything else and move any further forward But there's a lot of cabling and I'll leave you with that. I want to know how big it is in terms of how tall it is Are they gonna go both to the outside? Panic mode Pan what you barking at? Pan, you're gonna stop now Huh We're open on it. I've got to say that after our first Excitement of opening the heater Stampened a little bit because it's a bit more complicated than we first thought Second one watching the day where you go. This can be stressful, you know Like it look at this Yeah, any be quiet, please Yeah, we've got some positivity at last the fridge fits perfect and it looks really good as well So it's a Dometic fridge and it's a 65 litre 12 volt and This is what it looks like with these guys take the wrapper off. Yeah, just in case it gets scratched But if it's perfect, so at least that's one one good thing, but the other interesting thing with it is the Which is there's a detachable freezer compartment and I don't think we'll use the freezer So it makes this obviously the fridge part that bit bigger But that's quite clever in terms of that particular fridge type and see the two cables on the back I think and again as you know, we're no experts, but it's 12 volt fridge Just them two cables connected to our current cable. We've gone in place back up to our little power generator Which is in place. I see down there now having it's covered That should be it up and running and then we'll do some feedback on how long it lasts based on our sort of full charge How many days it be out there for but yeah like that far more than I do Well, I like this thing. You've seen the heater. That's the heater that we were referring to earlier It's gonna sit underneath the unit. It's just not so much complications, but drilling holes in the floor I'm not too keen on so those two have to be drilled into the floor. That's where it sits and then You've got a copper pipe it back to your gas. There's no flexi pipe being used. You've got to use gas fittings So that's it in there gas fittings copper pipe back to our gas bottle, which will be there And we haven't even got to the point really where you've already seen the kitchen in situ So we better get back to where this video was supposed to be about was how we're gonna put this or fix our kitchen and our B&Q carcasses it carcasses in place. So as per usual, we've not gone according to plan today We were planning on properly fitting the kitchen But as we ended up buying the heater in the fridge We've now gone off track and back to being Q and we've decided to properly fit the fridge into the cupboard Yeah, well, it was to see if it fits. That's what I'm saying the whole thing I think through every episode you can only go five steps forward in terms of your planning but then you have to keep coming backwards and Reinventing everything so it was no good buying a fridge unless it fit into this house in unity So then like hand just said we've been back to being Q bought a housing unit a drawer to see if this works So fingers crossed and that's another thing we do quite a lot on these videos. Yeah, and it all works in Professional as ever there's our diagram we're going off confident Always Okay another moment of truth. We're ready was it fit go on I think I think it will Perfect, I think so. Yeah, it's a lovely place a little tiny chip on that corner, but Fix that that's really good. So it's now the next day and Yesterday just did not go according to plan at all and we finished fitting the fridge into the unit And then we called it a day and decided that today we would go with the original plan and Try and fit the kitchen properly So that's the plan. Hopefully today. We actually stick to it So the reason for doing the being Q carcs is with Penny never shuts up, you know in this driveway the reason for doing the thing. Oh my god almighty I'll try again. The reason for doing the being Q carcs is because basically I don't have any great joinery skills And I certainly in terms of being able to build the cabinets watching people do it We'd have probably got there in the end, but it just seemed a really simplistic way of Cheating I suppose and they're really strongly built. I think they're good value as well They don't cost a lot of money So for me the kind of time versus the costing it was a no-brainer to go down this route Maybe not for everybody But like I said if you're not the best at joinery and you're a little bit fearful of putting those cabinets together Then for me this is a great way of doing it and all I'm doing now is building a very simple base unit to stick on the bottom Which is what I'm cutting up down here and then we'll secure them into the van So they're all done all units are put together Build these kind of these things down here Where are we on the bottom and then I've got something just to secure down onto the bottom of the van and then keep a little bit Of strength so we're doing under the bits where the gas bottle is under where the fridge is and I did it where our Electrical supply unit is so where there's a bit of weight. We just built those extra bit of support underneath Now another thing in terms of being idiot proof Just to get making sure you get a right angle on all of your joins but this little tool which is from screwfix It was a tenner and basically I can't do it with the whilst old in the camera But you kind of hold them two pieces get them in place and then you tighten this and like I said If I had another free hand that show you properly you tighten that and once they're secure They're in a perfect right angle and it allows you then to screw them both together Knowing you've got everything perfectly square, which I think again is a really good It's kind of no brainer tool for a tenner that saves a lot of cockups if you see when we first started with the van build We left half of the bulkhead in because it was a really good support And we thought it was quite good to fix our kitchen too, so we've just added a piece of wood behind there We're adding another piece of wood at the back of the kitchen Unit just to secure it at the top and then we're going to fix them with the base units that my dad's made to Fix them to the floor as well They should be quite solid so the time has finally come where we're gonna Properly fit the kitchen and I'm sure you've seen throughout all our videos that the kitchen has been coming in and out Throughout this whole process, but I think it was well our first week really wasn't it of building the van we wanted to know if we could build the kitchen out of What would you like pre-built car because it's stuff that we use being cute, so it's a pre-built body As I understand people don't use them because they can be a bit heavy But based on the build we were putting together we were at least less worried about the weight of it But so we built them You got one to start off didn't we just just to try yeah And then we decided to just buy the whole setup yeah put it in and see if it worked Yeah And then the whole van if I'm honest with you's been built based on all the design of the van has then been built Based on the back of the kitchen and how that kind of work and fit because it's all our story It's obviously where we're going to wash and cook and the fridge is in there as well So the bulk of the stuff was going into that area So we built that but then we kept taking it out to do bits which was a bit of a pain in the back side But it worked for us so today we're going to fit the carcs is what we've done We've built them all but I'm going to secure them to the the base of the van And I'll show you how I've done that It's only gonna be a couple of places just to get them all to secure secure to the floor And then we'll secure them into the walls and then hopefully that works I suppose we'll soon find out we've thought I say we'll soon find out we've done one this one was done a week So ago it's a standalone unit and that seems pretty solid reasonably happy with the way that has gone So now we've just got to fit that big L-shaped bit and like I said, hopefully it works I think it's time for a beer and a... what's that? Juice Juice because and a pork bite We've had a good two days really it's very rare that we've had two consecutive days to work on summer And it really does help to get stuck into stuff You happy? So happy, yeah that loads done, yeah It feels like it's come on for the last two days And even like little jobs that we haven't finished that we've managed to finish It's made a massive difference Yeah, no it's been so good I mean we even had and we haven't filmed it or shown it in this we'll maybe show it a bit later on Is that the gas engineer came round and did a bit of work so our pipe work is through In terms of that back cabinet ready is sort of a first fixer Everything's gone so well it's the last couple of days And what you've just seen us doing is securing the kitchen It's absolutely rock solid We've got a couple of brackets to put L brackets to secure those frames to the floor And then that's it done we can start to And the next plan for next week's video is Sink, sink and hob, isn't it? Sink and hob, we've just got worktop in it Got to find some worktop to sort out And if we get that then sink and hob can go in And then it's the kind of water system on my really sort of motoring along Our plan by the way is to finish all that back end In terms of kitchen, water, cooker, fridge And then we're going to finish off down this back end So that's it, as ever, thank you for watching And I think at this point we ask you to like it and all them things Give us some feedback about what we've done If there's bits that we've done wrong that you think we should have done differently By all means, stick it in the comments below More importantly, like I said, thanks for watching And we'll see you next Sunday
