  Hi
  Felt i had to comment here, whilst it’s undoubtedly a stunning van and all be it custom built to the couple using it, i got to say the build cost is very high when you consider they did it themselves, i have self built many VWs and had others built to my design in my past life, and even a top class, pop top VWT5 conversion, my last with a full flushing toilet and shower compartment and all the bells and whistles and loads of extras which included alloys and a full respray never cost me anything like that, so hence i state it is very expensive.
  The finished product is of course stunning although yellow i don’t think would be many people’s choice of colour as we are supposed to blend into the background as most of the tiny we are wild-camping so with a in your face yellow van that’s not possible, i would imagine a lot of interruptions when parked up, where many others would simply be ignored, but hey what do i know i have only been doing this up until i took unwell a few years back in the U.K. and as many will know from reading my comments here-in previously i am planning a VW Caddy van just now to suit my single life and requirements as a registered disabled driver which takes a great deal more thought and consideration putting into the requirements for security as well as wild-camping which is my preferred way of using it, but much longer in this sheltered housing complex surrounded by 80-90 year old neighbours and i swear i will quite simply buy the first decent ex gas board van i see at auction, stick a camp bed in it grab a sleeping bag and take off as at a young 57 i am so like a fish out of water it’s crazy, so if i have any wish for this coming year it’s to find a van, for Covid to go away for good and to let me out onto the road once more to freely go where no man has ever gone before i.e My Backroad Britain Tour i have planned out going from JOG to LE without ever using any motorway network, so as to visit all these stunningly beautiful small villages now not seen due to our perpensity to use motorways and in so doing missing seeing some amazing places and people.
  Keep on building folks, sincerly trust we are all safe, in these crazy times, but please god do NOT be tempted to break your local rules by going out wild or otherwise camping until we get the all clear to do so, we regardless of our thoughts on the matter must stay to the guidance if we’re ever to get rid of it for good, ignore the nay sayers as they by in large are talking rubbish, this is our way of life and if we truly wish to continue on safely post Covid we must comply just now so we may do so.
  Peace and out Dug 😎
