You mentioned in a previous video/live that the builder you chose had never done this type of campervan but you were willing to take the risk.
Why were you so eager to rush the purchase of the truck and hire an inexperienced builder? What did the builder use for the shower walls? It looks like a wood composite product and does not look watertight. I hope you have had several chances to test it out.
I hope you didn't repay to get their mistakes fixed. They will do it again to someone else. That is already breaking down. I really feel so badly for you.☹️☹️💔💔
Why don’t you release some air from the tires to lower the height , it will be ok
If you want to see how easy it is to pop up a camper roof done right watch a video by Mav titled “ My new truck camper setup “ at about the 10:00 mark he raises the roof manually by himself. The video also shows how his camper was constructed.
The glimpse from next weeks video is distressing. How heart breaking after all of this time and money. Also…once the vehicle is in one of the containers how does the driver get out?
Maybe next time you can let some air out of tires, it might fit better in the container.
Looking great ,ironing out those little issues .
If you had the ramp up, further away on to a level platform, so it went in flat and not at an angle, that would have gained you a few centimetres.
You need a waterproof cover to cover over the top also when you are parked up. Tie it down. Goodness. You don't want water coming in
first sticker should be Malaysia lah
Honestly the quality of the fittings n fixtures are really poor. Better quality door locks on my daughter's doll house,😢 really horrendous build unbelievable…
I'm really shocked that you keep taking your camper back to the same shop and now you have a complete disaster 😮 I wonder do you pay each time you take the camper back!! Somethings not right. Good luck
All that work and no cealent no were.😢
How would you of got out the driving seat if Trevor did fit in the container…??
Why didn't you buy a small trailer for extra storage to tow behind Trevor…
Looking forward to this new adventure, from The United States❤️
You could drop some air out of the tyres to be on the safe side.
WHY DID THOSE BRANDING DICKHEADS PUT TURKIYE ON THE PETYROL NOZZLE !!!???
That was close good grief. Look at getting a compressor. The height you can manage by deflating the tyres but the sides looked awfully close as the container moves the top of the car will move a little due to suspension. The water ingress nooooooooooooo, the is like cancer for a camper. Strongs guys.
I love the branding, I got emotional with you Marianne, I felt so happy for you, the guys did a fantastic job. Those alterations inside the camper looked way more practical, he did a great job. The guy making your mattress, having it ready by the end of the week, we've been treated to so many skilled professionals this week, the mechanic who not only sorted the oil leak but also changed filters etc, all these guys skilled in their area of expertise, have gone over and beyond, we can't thank you enough for helping Chris and Marianne.
Just when I thought you'd had a very productive week and all heading in the right direction, I felt relieved and happy for you both but then the final clip, with all that water and your lovely mattress.
Now I'm filled with loads of questions. Hope you've got the water issues fixed.
How the heck would they get out of the truck 🛻 f it even did fit in!
oof that's a tight fit….but where there's a will, there's always a way…keep on treading
Good luck this is your home so I understand your patience getting angry won’t help
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your adventures
I don’t know whether you vloggers know but the reason why viewers don’t subscribe is because when they’ve watched somebody once YouTube automatically put your new post on for them to watch without the viewer having to subscribe ! Thereby doing you out of a subscriber hence doing you out of money!
Get it parked on scaffold planks in front of container so the whole vehicle is flat on entry. Good luck.
It looks like you built two campers. Did you mention all this to the first company?
😢cannot believe you left us hanging
Hope you get to NZ safely
