Taylors Aboard a Campervan
Великобритания
Добавлен 16 мар 2015
Welcome to Taylors Aboard a Campervan, our sister channel to you guessed it Taylors Aboard a Narrowboat. On this Channel, we're be converting our new, well new to us 2005 Peugeot Boxter. which we bought to replace our Renault Kangoo, which is too unreliable, uneconomical, and small for Dad to sleep in. This van was an ex-school bus, with only 80k miles on the clock, 3 new tires, a new exhaust, But most importantly it starts every time and doesn't have a fuel leak. The two big problems with buying an ex-school minibus are, one, it came with 14 seats in the back that we have to remove and try to get rid of. two it has a speed limiter on it. This van is so big we can all sleep in it, allowing us to travel to beautiful places far and wide, like Scotland and Wales, whilst staying in the van. So join us as we convert this ex-school bus into a beautiful family camper, from electrics, plumbing, and gas to building 3 beds, a kitchen, a dinette, and a toilet all into a 6ft by 11ft box.
Our Campervan Has Been CONDEMNED This is The END!
Today i give an unfortunate update on what has been going on with our campervan. Its not good. And in fact, has gotten worse. So bad that this may spell the end of Taylors Aboard a Campervan.

Building The Smallest DIY Dinette i could in Our Campervan Conversion

a big problem we had in the van, when we went away, was there isn't anywhere to sit, unfortunately due to the van being a 3 berth, we have no room to make a proper dinette, so instead I have to use what little room I have left to build a 1 foot by 1 foot small seat, just for somewhere to sit in the van.

Installing Our New 12v Mobicool B40 Hybrid Fridge In Our Campervan
Просмотров 8973 месяца назад
Today i installed our new Mobicool B40 hybrid fridge in our campervan conversion, we bought it while down in the New Forest, for just £30 and its worth £300. It makes a wine on 240v, but that's not what we need it for, it works perfectly on 12v. But its quite big and bulky, too big to fit under the countertop. So there's only one place I can put it, under mums bed. But it has to go on its side,...

One thing we noticed that we really needed, in our semi-completed campervan conversion, when we went away for the first time, was a sink. So today we try to save more money, by using a stainless steel bowl, that we have lying around as a sink! For this, we're have to cut a big hole in the countertop for our sink to sit in and then cut a hole using a strong hole saw, in the sink, for our drain h...

Did you get to the bottom of this?
Very sorry to learn the news about your campervan Josh, who knows what the future will be, keep the channel going, cause I have a sneaky feeling this isn’t going to be the end of its, and your future road ventures. All the best mate.
I've got the exact same model of Boxer and like yours 5th gear crunches. Our get around it is to double clutch 5th gear and that seems to avoid or lessen the crunching considerably to the point where it cant be heard. Our van has 140K on the clock and has been crunching in 5th since before 120K so its not gotten any worse in 20K miles by double clutching...........I'd also say that cleaning and greasing the gear linkage on top of the gear box is a must as this area is prone to getting lots of crap on it which can only make gear changes worse if left unattended to........
Stunningly Beautiful. Josh your taste in music is fantastic 😊 South Africa
What's the torque spec for the sump plug?
oh no, so sorry to hear about this 😕 hopefully one day in the future you’ll get to have other trips and great idea for the channel🤞🏻
Very sorry Josh after all your hard work. Think of the expertise you have gained in sourcing materials for it and fitting everything in. And above all it’s your safety on the road that is paramount. I hope it opens the door to more opportunities for you and I did so enjoy you trips round the country in the van so thanks so much for that.
Another adventure that provides content, Josh. On to the next one!❤
Bummer. Stay positive…I’m sure you’ll turn the channel into some sort of rebrand as mentioned. And when you find your next van you’ll be better prepared to purchase and modify.
with what you have said it was impossible for that van to have a recent MOT. i think that the Ins Company wil look into it for you. sorry to hear the bad news as i did enjoy the vlogs you made i always had a smole on my face at the end. Good Loch with the next one.
so sad all that happened.
Chin up guys. At least you know what to look for when you buy the next one. 👍
Heartbreaking vlog Josh😢sorry we couldn’t do more. As you say you learnt a lot along the way 😊 For future checkout Vanstation Trade at Solihull & Basevan Ashbourne . Love the Taylor’s Offboard idea 👍
There is no way they can not declare the van a write off. So at least you should get some money back. Just a shame all the work you and Andy put into it.
Get a job josh, save up and spend at least 20k otherwise you'll always be driving sheds ready for the scrap yard
Gutted for you. You could enter the raffle that Those Happy Days are doing that only has a few days left on thier massive cam[er van. take care. x
Omg I’ve just noticed this is Taylor’s aboard a camper van,honestly thought you’d changed the name from narrowboat
Holy shamalammadingdong
Hi Josh, it’s not a loss as much as experience for you, things change for a reason, life will get better, carry on forward.😊
To be fair, Josh, when you bought it it shouldn't of passed the MOT it came with. It's always been a bag of crap. You were sold a lemon. Get a vehicle inspected by a mechanic before you buy, the AA and RAC provide such a service.
So sorry Josh. 😞 I have loved watching all of your videos and how you fitted it all out.
As you say Josh, at least you've had some good trips making memories and learning how to convert it. Sending positive vibes for a better week!
Really sorry to hear this news Josh. We have had our own share of bad car news this last few weeks and have ended up trading ours in for a new one 😞
Sorry to hear the bad news, you've had some terrible luck with vehicles, I really hope you get some good luck soon you're certainly due some, really enjoyed watching you doing the van.
So sad for you all all the hard work you have done on the van .but you have spent a nuff money on it you can't keep Spending out it's not worth it.😢😢
Sad
Ey up me ducks. So sorry to hear about the van especially after all the work and money you put into it. Hopefully it gets written off which will help you somewhat money wise. Take care guys, have a good weekend 👍🙂
We are having the same problem but worse in our Peugeot boxer, can’t get into 2nd gear and reverse. Did you find a solution?
Great to see some familiar views of my old home town of Ilfracombe! I'm long overdue for a visit there.Nice little video.
Your a gifted drone pilot mate, great footage and an artistic eye. Andy is right by the way, shore fishing around Cornwall been in the decline for the last few decades. Not sure if it’s just over fishing or a combination of pollution, climate change etc. Glad Noah now out of danger.
AN unconventional 🙄
Happy?
Arrr lovely seeing josh holding the new baby bless.x
That was lovely seeing you all together. Being normal. Lovely baby Amy. Sending love to you all.x
Andy's right as we used to stay in a cottage at Heal Bay mum dad & I and my sister was married to Trevor and boy was he keen on fishing they would tow there caravan down but he loved Ilfracombe for it's harbour wall and in 1974 he would cast out and about 2 minutes he would shout out got one but my dad & mum were more keen on pitch & put so my sister would sit in the car with a flask of tea but Trevor wouldn't even know we had gone but he would gut them for our fish meal in the evening another time after Win & Trevor had two sons about 12 years later they all came to Lymington where I had a 14 ft boat so I took them all out fishing all day and never got a bite so Trevor said hey look a pier where's that ? Yarmouth I said !! Well what about all night fishing boys we can catch the ferry so back we went to go to get the ferry and it's the worst night in my memory the tide went out so the only thing Trevor caught was the ferry back as me and the boys we miffed off 😏
What a fabulous real life Vlog Josh 🤩 From start to finish.. awesome drone footage with fantastic colourful panoramic views 👌 Such wonderful pics of you all holding Noah.. you all looked so proud 😊 With dad enjoying his fishing too, was a joy to watch .. well done 👍
Nah then, ey up me ducks. Looks like you guys could do with a bus rather than a van, lol. Loved the views from the old viaduct and the crows nest viewpoint, reckon I might take a trip and do a stealth camp there at some point. Ay a good'un guys 🙂👍
You're wasting your time with that van, it's a bag of rusty crap. All that work you've done is a complete waste of time. All you've done is seal the rust in under the blacking.
Yeah I know 🙄 but we've spent so much money on it now, we don't really have much choice, as we don't have any money to buy a new one.
Great job you and your Dad have done well done 👏 😊
Cheers Chris 🍻
My first camper was like that. It took weeks with wire brushes. I then used a huge amount of rust converter followed by a ton of bilt-hamber dynex UB. A lot of work and a couple of hundred quid, but it put years on the life. You might also want to remove the chassis blanks and use something like Dynax S50 inside the chassis members. This should stop any further corrosion from the inside. Good luck!
Yes, it's a nightmare! It's our own fault though, didn't even look under it before we bought it 🤦♂️ that's a good shout. Thank you 😊
Your doing well both of you. . The horses and caravans have my be been to Appleby horse fair or going. Take care .xx
Thank you Carol 😊 that was at Bascote, I'm not sure how close Appleby was, so it could have been
The rust has rust…keep up the work. You’ll get a lot more back than what u put in.
🤣 I know! Thank you 😊
Nah then, ey up me ducks. This is one of those never ending jobs me thinks. You both looked like you'd had a fight with a tin of paint and lost, hope you managed to get it all off lol. Ay a good weekend guys 🙂👍
Yeah 😂 this was just the start!
That is rotten beyond belief. Must have been in salt water
I know it's crazy! Ha ha 😂 seems that way!
you look like a chimney sweep LOL get some used old motor oil and get an old tree sprayer and spray the under carriage all over and drill little holes where the doors close and spray inside the fenders and doors and buy some rubber or plastic caps to plug the drill holes when done it will never rust again
Ha ha 😂 I know! That's a very good shout. Cheers for the advice 👍
Hi Josh I wonder if the school bus driver to the youngsters down on Woolacombe sands as I remember you could drive along the beach only that rust must have been caused by salt damage Needed spraying of underneath after. Each winter People down at Milford on sea love driving down to watch a storm but then drive through the salt water in the car park to leave some idiots have brand new vehicles what you and dad are doing reminds me of my fiat camper but I made a mistake if selling it to a work mate and never heard the end of it 😏
Yeah, it seems that way! Although I think it would have gotten stuck on the beach! 🤣 yeah, people don't realise just how bad salt is for the underside of a car or van.
Where do I drain the oil from the gearbox?
I’ve only just seen this so you’ve probably already painted stuff by now, well done Josh, it’s not easy doing carpentry as a newbie, but it’ll come great in the end.😊
You and dad have really done a great job on the campervan Josh 👏using what’s available & recycling! Tim and I both said it actually looks better in real life than camera.. if you get what we mean . You’ve fitted everything in for you all and use of space is well executed 😊🦅
Thank you Sue 😊 mum told me you had a nose. It's not bad. Especially as I have no experience with carpentry. ❤️
Hi Josh, little tip when cutting ply, put some masking tape where the cut line is, then mark on the tape your cut line. You get a far cleaner cut.
Or buy downward cutting jigsaw blades ! Once you swap you’ll never go back
I haven't heard of them, I'll check em out
Thank you, Gary. That's a great tip 👍
Your very welcome, Great to see you put the sink to good use ! Looks great
Ha ha 😂 yep it's much better. Thank you 😊
