TEARING APART OUR CAMPER VAN & REBUILDING IT FROM SCRATCH

Lifestyle4/4/2021

Description

At the minute, it feels like whenever we tick something off the list, we add three things onto it! But this warm weather is pushing us through the van build and with the cabinets being prepped it's time to introduce you to our rather experimental solar set up... in theory it should save us weight while also increasing our solar capacity. Let's see how it goes! » SAMARITANS HELPLINE Call 116 123 (free from any phone) or email jo@samaritans.org » PAPYRUS HOPELINEUK If you're under 35 and struggling with suicidal thoughts or concerned about a young person who might be struggling 0800 068 4141 or email pat@papyrus-uk.org ⤈ J O I N O U R P A T R E O N ⤈ For exclusive videos, early access & bonus content » https://www.patreon.com/overlandingsophia ⤈ F O L L O W U S ⤈ For real-time updates on our van build & van life travels » Instagram - https://bit.ly/2YMpHdv » Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/overlandingsophia » Website - https://www.overlandingsophia.com ⤈ I N T H I S V I D E O ⤈ 0:00 - 0:46 - Intro 0:46 - 02:07 - Remembering Lee 02:07 - 06:26 - Our New Solar Panel Experiment 06:26 - 08:23 - The Marquee! 08:23 - 09:34 - Rubber Paint? 09:34 - 11:06 - Morning Briefing 11:06 - 13:11 - Making the Cabinet Doors 13:11 - 15:13 - Fitting the New Tap 15:13 - 18:30 - Wrapping Up & -that- to do list 18:30 - 20:23 - Woodland Walks 20:23 - Bloopers ⤈ M O R E V A N B U I L D ⤈ Watch our Van Build 2.0 from the start » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn09Q7QKe9RSfcmCvu5KgxHZ Our big plan - Driving to Cape Town in our Van! » https://youtu.be/dJMnHVE1xnc ⤈ V A N L I F E T R A V E L S ⤈ Van Life France to Sicily Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn1NUYY2VXyhlgsLvnXZQWp0 Van Life UK Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn0ZKqneAbha94jkMnkBBGFr Van Life Portugal Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn1NoG9YimtMCTeQpk-aqstn Van Life Spain Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn37KGDpBq683reFQuxjlhXR ⤈ C A M E R A G E A R ⤈ Main Camera: https://amzn.to/2rtZHFk Main Lens: https://amzn.to/2DZePxi Mini Vlog Camera: https://amzn.to/2DU323l Drone: https://amzn.to/2rpc71e GoPro: https://amzn.to/2YvDSBj Tripod: https://amzn.to/2s6XxLU (Links are affiliated with Amazon / We earn a small commission if you purchase through these links) ⤈ W H O W E A R E ⤈ We're Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we usually live full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project we'd been planning! We plan to drive our tiny home on wheels all the way from Cornwall, UK to Cape Town, South Africa. Starting in late 2021, we first need to make some major upgrades to Sophia, stripping her right back to the insulation and giving her some beefy upgrades. Join us on our journey as we turn Sophia into an overlanding rig, ready to tackle whatever Africa can throw at us. #vanconversion #vanbuild #sprintervanconversion
