 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 Penny's just being asked to be quiet It's another week and we start another load of jobs some things never changed penny is still barking making sure we're all safe We've got loads going on as you can see the panels have been going up We've got some spotlights that have been going up It's weird doing this because there never seems to be a week where you just do one job. They all seem to overlap So we've got loads going on Hannah is currently what you're doing Wow So yeah, so we've got some interesting like the way we've connected the wiring which is really simple We've got will tell you the way in which we've sort of going to power the whole van in terms of our electricity Which again is mega mega simple and I've gone from being Scared stiff of these electrics or we've been scared stiff Probably put the whole thing on hold for quite some time because of it and honestly We found a real simple and easy way idiot-proof way of doing it. So we'll talk you through that as well We've got switch on power on first of all and see if they work or they work So just finished wiring up all our lighting because we want to get our Sealing finished what we've decided to do is insulate the ceiling with the leftover Sheeps wool that we've got so we're just going to sort of do that as we go put each panel up and then fill it with these sheeps wool We're just cutting our pieces where it's going to go around the fan But you don't think we should try and put this off and see what it's like before we cut it Cut twice measure once great. That's our new motto Moment of truth Right just when I think I've painted my last piece of wood We find another pack this job is just never ending So this video is we're chopping and changing about what we're doing Like I said, there's the walls of the ceilings and there's the electricity and the main bit of the electricity was the kind of unit We're going to use or how we're going to supply our van with electricity with power And we went for this kind of portable lithium option and simply because I think we said in one of the earlier videos Our requirements are kind of we're certainly not off-grid We don't want our huge demands in terms of electricity requirements So we looked up what is I suppose a real simple option That's the first thing and it's as far as I can see so far. This is perfect. It's this gold zero lithium 1500x So all we're powering is the kind of like lights fridge What else have we got hands remind me? Water heater some under lighting for the cookers and things are all 12 volts in the majority It has got the option to power some 240 volt stuff as well if required, but in all honesty It's small. It's compact It's going to fit in a great little position that we've got it there And I suppose it's an easy option in terms of The complications of power batteries and all the different things that you need this for our requirements Like I said, it's perfect. So that's what we're going to use actually quickly How we've done our sort of first fix in terms of the lights and another few cables that we've laid in so far So the first thing we did was the same as everybody else We laid in our sort of first fix of cabling and that was what you seen earlier on which I don't think we actually featured in the video But so spotlights one simple strand of wire that made its way this whole loop round Back to the beginning fed back down through the walls and back to the position Which is where our electricity units is going to sit which is housed in this cupboard here Then we fed another one in for the fan We fed another one into some lighting at the back end That's the stuff that's all gone behind or built into the walls and into the sort of ceiling And that was our first fix done. We haven't got any major complications in terms of what requirements And then what we're going to do a bit later on is our sort of kitchen units are going to go around here So all the other electricity power points and some under cupboard lighting the water heater All the other bits will be on this wall and we've got a bit of a we're going to feed that across the floor Behind a seating area that we've got so we don't need to go over the top back and all be hidden and took the way Behind the kind of paneling that we're going to put in later on for where the seating area is going to be so that'll all be hidden And then pop up around here and all we've done. I'll show you if you just come back down here We fed into we'll show you a bit more of this billage drawn, but we fed into this simple Fuse box. There's only two cables wired up at the moment the fuse box goes into these kind of adapters I think they called Anderson cables the Anderson cable goes into This points here and then you select 12 volts and hopefully We've got some spotlights and there was just the spotlights and the fan that are wired up at the moment And it gives you all kinds of readings as how much power you've got left how much power using all those kind of things as well But I can't believe how sort of clever this unit is how simplistic it is and for all of kind of things It was frightened to death of in terms of the electrics It's a real real simple unit and the wiring we've done so far is also really simple And I'll give you our last little bit of it's not advice because we're in no position to advise anyone But the bit we bought earlier this morning was I've been using these kind of like little I'm not even sure what they're called the spade connectors plug in together So one wire in there one wire in the other bit plug them together and they're okay But they were a bit fiddly so I went into electrical supply this morning And we got these things and again, I don't know what the technical name is for them The brand we bought is wago and that's the code try and search them but find these things because they're incredible and basically That's a little unit that houses three cables you flip these back And you feed your cable or I have many cables They do a block of five block of three you feed your cables into there when you've got your cable fed in You close it and clamp it down. That's made a connection. So in terms of the lights Oh, yeah, here's one we've prepared earlier. I shouldn't have done this way It's all powered on at the moment. So all you do in terms of the lights You've got your two live feeds, which is our blue cables in this case The two kind of neutral feeds which are brown in our case and then you feed your light Is that on camera? Can you see that the light our live goes to live and so on and so forth And that's how you connect the three and keep that kind of loop or circuit whatever is the technical term going And we did that on everyone obviously the spotlight until we got to the end one And that follows back like a through back and then connects to that sort of fuse board. I Hope that's it. I like I said if there's other bits as we go along I'll I will fill you in but I think it's as simple as that. Have I missed anything then? I don't think so I'm not trying to get well obviously not trying to tell anyone how to do anything It's just like we found a what is a really really easy and simplistic way of doing it and with the power that we've gone I'll let you know in sort of when we've got everything running how much Electricity it's drawing from it for us. I think it'll be a real good unit And I'm really made up that we've got six lights working in a fan so far So yeah, that's it So I think the painting is finally done Well, the the primer is finally done on all the ward unless we find another pack that isn't painted yet But it didn't actually think we were gonna be able to pay anything today because the forecast is rain all week But the Sun is out. It's glorious and we've actually managed to get it all done so I'm just having to sit down because I don't know if it's normal, but I Do too much painting like that. I get a bad back. I don't think that should be happening at the age of 24 So to take a little breather a different sort of targets and goals me and Hannah I want to do everything in like a day and I want to do it properly, so She's probably got it right. I like to have a bit of a rush job I just want to say that measure One's cut twice didn't happen measured ones cut ones It didn't fit perfect for obvious But I managed to get away And my dad's been working away again, so it means we've spent no time on the van at all But the plan for this week was Monday to Thursday Get all our work done and Friday will spend all day on the van But as usual when we make a plan like that It's torrential raining But We've got a backup plan. Oh a gazebo and it stopped raining It'll be very rain though. I can report that on a recent trip to Scotland. I have slept in the van So both a It's yoga mat really you know or yoga mat Rolled out on the floor there And bought two pillars for six quid and slept on the floor while waiting for a ferry Well, ironically gazebo's gone up and the sun's come out But anyway, it's I'm praying for rain otherwise that was a waste of time But for the time being we've just put up a few last panels on this side. That's as low as we can go Hannah has got sander in hand and we're gonna get a better finish on these walls We've already tried sort of painting with a with the finish we tried I think we'll probably strip it back just a little bit try and sand down all the joints all where we put nails Entirely it up and get a neat finish is the plan in it, huh? Yeah. How are you getting on with that? It's good. Yeah, so fun. We're doing a job. So we're crack on I mean we've got to we found another little one as well I'm doing all the little joints and Hannah's doing all the bits that need the muscle So we decided after putting the roof vent in the van that putting any more holes into it was Too scary really, isn't it come out? Yeah. Yeah, we've bottled it bottled it big time Do you know what though? It's like leaving it's like taking the kids to creche or school for the first day Yeah, I don't want to leave her overnight. Do you sad now? I hope it's back in one piece and three windows fitted. Yeah, she's getting windows two in the back one on the side So tomorrow We'll be picking her up to see what she looks like Well, we're just about to collect the van it's been in for two days and we just had a phone call say it's ready And we're just round the corner from it now or pulling it Oh, we can't see nothing this side Let it is But the van window is on the other side, but I can't see glass Oh And some rear windows as well It looks good We've just got the van back home and what do you think? I can't believe it. It's amazing. It looks amazing from the outside There's the back. It's a great job as well to be fair, but inside I cannot believe how much difference it's made in terms of light So much brighter in here Well, it's like it's changed it from From a well, it's probably gone dark. Yeah, but that's changed it from being like a van Yeah, so it can't find it seems to have the biggest impact on what we've done so far. Mm-hmm. Yeah Crazy, and he has done a real good job. I think yeah, we're really bottled it. Yeah, so did the roof Fan mm-hmm. Did a good job of it as well. Yeah, it's done well But I wasn't comfortable in cutting three big holes in the side panels. Yeah, I think it's worth pointing out We could have got the windows. I think the windows to us were about 300 quid Yeah, and we've paid this company one for you windows in flight Brilliant and it costs us 600 pound effectively paid 300 quid to get unfitted honestly. It's the Definitely so good and we've got great vision outside. Yeah, it is proper blacked out from the outside as well Yeah, you can't see in them really good. What do you think? Any words for camera?
