YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE - VAN LIFE EUROPE - WE GOT RIPPED OFF!?
Sad to say that you can't trust anyone these days and it looks like we got ripped off.. Thanks for watching our van life vlog everyone:)… The van build is done and the paperwork has been sent off but unfortunately the company that fitted our awning and windows have done a really bad job causing damage and frustration.. What should we do??

    Watching this vlog on TV and can't believe the shabby workmanship after all of your hard work. Because they finished the job earlier than expected you mentioned that last week aswell I'm thinking Jack of all trades master of none has been called in to help him out 😡 if he fixes the brackets then that shows he's willing I would then drive back up there and show him the windows. If you get no joy definitely name drop 🤕 my wife is sat here shouting at the TV ... Name drop name drop name drop !! Joking aside fingers crossed all will end well

    Hi guys, i would curtain the shower in one of the corresponding blue's of your cushions, and the cupboards i would paint alternative v pale grey to match your tiles, then a blue one, then a white one. if you have 6 cupboards? it would be 2 of each colour. A nice bright blue, same as your t shirts would look nice for your shower curtain as well. Van looking FABULOUS.

    If you suspect the awning is secondhand look for the manufacturers sticker , it should have a bar code and serial number which can be used to confirm its age etc, also most plastic parts have a date imprint.

    I love the pop of colours in your furnishings- to leave your top cabinets as they are… they’re great features with the holes colours- I think will make it perhaps too “busy” . It’s your van and an expression of your creativity and personality so it matters not what I’ve a preference for aye. Great vlog as always!

    Hi guys at the end of the day the company who installed the awning and windows are sole responsible for the work that they do ,if that’s their standards of workmanship then don’t know how they are still in business very poor to say the least and I wouldn’t care I would name and shame them regardless,if they can’t provide the customer with satisfaction of their own doings and at least be honest about it I would take matters further no one deserves this kind of job especially after all the hard work you guys put into the build sole destroying so it is anyways I’ve had my rant how you guys doing lol the van is awesome and so are the two of you take care and have a great trip away soon ❤️👍👌👌🚐🚐😀

    Hi Guys love the idea of the Hammock chair “ BUT “ I Would reconsider a more substantial way of securing it to the sheet metal cross member structure. I’m assuming you have used RiVNUTS for the securing bolts to thread into the sheet metal Which in my opinion would not be strong enough to carry the downward forces without failure. Ideally you need a flat bar bolted to the cross member with load spreading washers bolts and nuts . And substantial load bearing eyebolts. Just a bit concerned as i love following you guys.

  • @sweetpeainfrance6729
    @sweetpeainfrance6729 23 години тому

    Keep white cupboards please. Someone suggests tissue paper circles. So here's an idea from the primary classroom for window art ... or mobiles...Have transparent polythene sheeting, about a metrre long, then pva and water paste polythene and layer strips of torn or cut coloured tissue paper... build layers. Focus on spectrum of blues turquoise green yellow. Leave to dry with another sheet of polythene on top . I think! Let dry. Peel off polythene both sides then cut inside shape of the door or circles only to fit each hole and somehow????? fix onto the interior of the door. It might work or not! Experiment first!

    @sharoncrawford01 День тому

    Velton is loiking fantastic, you really have done a brilliant job guys. I would have turquoise curtains for the loo, the same as the cushions. I think the cupboards look great white, and keen the van light, bright and airy. Though you could always paint the knobs for a splash of colour, or cover them in some funky fabric. Or paint the rim inside the cut-out circles, to just give a hint of colour from different angles. Or as others have suggested, put fabric/acetate etc behind the holes. You guys are super creative, I'm sure you'll think of something that works for you both.

  • @Jadamojo
