We hope you enjoyed our van tour. ❤️🚐 Sorry it ended up being such a long video, we really wanted to go through all the details and struggled to cut it down. 😅 In saying that, we still feel like we've probably missed a lot of things so if you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments.
We've also put together a full post listing everything we used in our build and where you can buy them, if you're interested you can check that out here: lydiaandwehan.com/our-full-va...
Thank you for watching, we look forward to showing you the chaos of us adjusting to van life in our next video.

About Us:
Hey, welcome to our UKposts! We are Lydia and Wehan, high school sweethearts who made the crazy decision to sell our house and quit our jobs so that we could go on the big lap of Australia in our self converted Sprinter van. 🚐

I’ve seen many van conversion reviews and this is by far the best one. Amazing layout and plenty of storage while still having room to move around. I don’t usually leave comments, but I am very impressed. Great job guys!

Your van build is gorgeous and so functional! I think you were smart not to add a lot of decor to the van. That will allow you to find pieces that you love from your travels and add them to the van at your leisure! It is so sad to fall in love with a beautiful little something but have no space to put it!
@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Thank you so much, we really built it to what we thought we would need and it’s ended up perfect! 🚐 And you’re so right, I’m sure we’re going to come across some beautiful pieces on the road that mean a lot more than if we had rushed to find things before setting out on the lap. 😊

Your build came out pretty incredible... I mean, it is utterly GORGEOUS. Not sure if Wehan is an electrician/wood craftsman or just a natural genius, but I did get lost on the electrical/inverter/yadda yadda stuff- I wish so much that my brain could understand it since I will be building out a Promaster soon. Anyway, thank you for sharing - so inspiring! Seriously, your van is beautiful!! I think you showed everything but where all your clean clothes are stored. I have so many clothes, I can't imagine sharing that kind of space with another with the amount I have, lol
@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Wow thank you so much, that really means a lot 💙 The van definitely exceeded our expectations and despite the stresses of the build we're now very glad we did it and wouldn't have it any other way! To be honest, he's just a natural genius (but don't tell him I said that 🤣). I definitely get lost with the electrical side of things too so don't worry you're not the only one. If it was up to Wehan he would have rambled about it for hours! Best of luck with your build, I'm sure it'll be amazing 😊

I designed my 3500 Promaster last year, and trust me, you will learn your electrical system like the back of your hand because in order to do this, you have to do that, but if you want to do that, you must do the other. Lol. I was intimidated at first, but after living with it, you truly get to a point in which you really understand it. Good luck with your build. 😊

You are the first Van video person I have seen make a point of DC to DC computer charging!! Finally!! Love it. Totally the most efficient way to power anything that can take DC. I turn on my inverter for the microwave, the induction cooktop, and things that aren't used often so they did not make my mental list.
@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Thank you so much! The DC2DC chargers are great. Especially with some of the vans having such capable alternators. It’s also nice not having to rely on the weather or campsites to be ideal for solar charging. 😅 Another great option would’ve been a supplementary alternator for the house battery but the pricing on the DC2DC chargers were much more appealing (at the time of purchase) and some of these vans have such capable alternators from factory.

I’ve seen alot of van builds over multi countries. But this 1 is absolutely perfect. Every thought, every detail, cost cutting that makes ton of sense, I love it. Only thing I think I’d add would be a small window between the kitchen sink & work area. An make the shower just a little bigger. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing. An you 2 need now is some home touch’s, plants, pictures. You 2 are awesome, look forward to more video’s, so glad I came across this 1.

This is such an excellent build! I have planned the same thing as far as colors go. White. Because you can go in any direction from there, even change it if the mood strikes by changing the fabrics. I would NOT worry about art or decoration on any of the walls. You are just starting your journey and there is going to be an amazing shot that you love so much and have to enlarge it, so many magical moments that you want to remember that you will find after a few years that you are running out of wall space. So be picky, even now, about what you allow to go up and stay with you. That’s my opinion, anyway. It’s kind of like when you got your first wallet or purse and you looked around to find things to put in it, but later you realize that necessary things would pop up and filling it was not really a concern. Not over-filling it quickly becomes the priority. Try to resist the temptation to pick up anything that needs a flat surface to sit on, unless you are into tiny things that can live in a shadow box on a wall. IMHO, anyway. Love everything! Really smart! Thanks
@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Thank you so much, that really means a lot! 😊 We really have loved the white and how bright and open it feels. You're right, I'm sure we'll find things we love as we go and we have all the time in the world to decorate and add those things later! It's better to be picky now so we can enjoy those things later on. Best of luck with your own build.

Wow….. what an amazing conversion van. Your build is so beautiful. In fact… It’s so beautiful I would love to have the design plans. I have been watching Skoolie conversions for about 3 years now. I am almost 70… finally I decided a bus is too big, but your Beautiful conversion van would be perfect. I can’t go full time but the times I do go I want it to feel like home. Lydia and Wehan…. Thank you for sharing your van with us all here in the USA on UKposts. Please let me know about the plans since they are measured down to the inch…. I really truly fell in Love!

@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Thank you so much, that's so kind of you! We totally get that, we felt a bus would be too big for us also and would have been a little nervous driving it around 😅 We were thinking of posting the plans on our website so everyone can access it, Wehan just has to tidy them up a little and see if he can make them suitable for other people to work off. He really just did them for himself thinking no one would ever see them and he'd never have to use them again haha. I'll reach back out again once we've got them up 😊

Nice clean design you guys did alright with it. I like the all white but I also like the wood look too I've seen in other vans of that type. It's all in taste I guess but it is brighter on the inside not sure if it's bigger going with white. overall 👍

Just discovered your channel from this video, love the attention to detail and really going into detail for the electrical! Hey from Canada, eh! Subscribed! Oh also! If you wish to get rid of any shine on surfaces, get yourself a circular polarizing filter for your camera, you can cut down any reflections and really improve the color, works wonders on blue skies as well, just think of putting your sunglasses over your lens, if you have enough light, those filters are AWESOME!

Welcome, thank you so much! We really appreciate it. Wehan definitely could have spent the whole video talking about the electrical 🤣 We actually looked at heading to Canada prior to all of the lockdowns, hopefully we'll be able to make our way there in the future. 🇨🇦 And thank you! We have a circular polarizing filter for our 'b-roll' camera and a variable ND filter for our main 'vlog' camera. They've helped SO MUCH!!

@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Thank you so much! 💙 We’ve put together a full post listing everything we used and where to get it, here’s the link: lydiaandwehan.com/our-full-van-setup/. The bug screen is the Pillar Link Screen Pleated Flyscreen Door from Bunnings. Just noting however that they do say that the width is adjustable but the height isn’t. It was a lot of effort to adjust the height but Wehan managed to figure it out for us, which I’m super grateful for as we love it. But it required cutting the channels, removing linkages and re-tensioning the pulleys.

Absolutely lovely build! What are the orange "recovery tracks"? Are they to get the van out of deep snow?
@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Thank you! We have the Maxtrax recovery tracks as a 'just in case' if we do get stuck in dirt, sand or snow. They're really popular in Australia in the 4WD community to gain traction and get out of a messy situation... thankfully we haven't had to use them yet 😅

Oh my...beautiful build! Truly one of the best I've seen :) Great presentation too. And love how you each have such a calm and positive vibe. I have two questions about your amazing bathroom: what did you cover the shower walls with (is this tile!?), and do you remove the toilet when you want to use the shower? Thanks so much and congrats to you both on your lovely build. Best from San Diego, CA 🌞
@lydiaandwehan
@lydiaandwehan Рік тому
Wow, that's so kind of you, thank you so much! 😊💙 Nope we didn't use tile, we used wet wall panels that have a tile look (which we love!). I don't think you'll have a Bunnings in San Diego but we got the 'Wall Art New York White Tile Wet Area Wall/Shower Panel' from a hardware store in Australia called Bunnings. We put together a full list of everything we used in the build and where we bought it from on our website which I'll link in case you wanted to check anything else out: lydiaandwehan.com/our-full-van-setup/. Also we can remove the toilet while we shower if we want to. If we're having a quick shower we usually don't bother but if we're having a longer shower and want some more room we take it out.
