Van life - Buying a used van

#Vanlife #VanlifeUK #UsedVans

Join us as we go VAN SHOPPING in the UK. Watch us avoid scams and buy a used van to build into a campervan for full time vanlife.

About us:
We're Jodie and Joe and after years of searching for a new home, we realised that London can't offer us the lifestyle we dream of.
We've quit our jobs and sold our home, and are no longer tied to London, or even the UK.
So we bought our 2018 Peugeot Boxer and began our renovation to turn it into our perfect little home on wheels.
As we travel and explore each new place, we will be creating a list of 'must haves' to help us find the perfect place to call home.
Join us on our adventure as we build our campervan and navigate the highs and lows of vanlife in Europe and more!

Our Van: 🚐
2018 Peugeot Boxer H2L3
95k Mileage
900w Solar Power
15kw Battery Storage

Enjoyed watching. I'm about 2 years away from what you have done. I was struck by your innocence - but you're young; why wouldn't you be so. I'm a lot older and trying to make the transition in a more measured way, but the biggest difference between you and me: You're actually doing it! Wishing you all the luck in the world with the build and the adventures beyond. Subscribed!

Multi talents building a dome, and do a commercial for healthy products. You are BOSSES👍🇳🇱

Relay, boxer and ducato are 6ft wide, which is ideal for bed to go across the width of the van.

I think the giveaway that you had bought van was the SOLD sticker in the windscreen at 9 mins into the video 😁

Yes i know vans are as sexy as fridges on wheels but there is just something special about them. I own a new mid size van and a big van the size of yours. The ability to change the interior to fit whatever you do and change the inside again if you need to is awesome. I call my one my house that i can take on adventures.

:) WELL DONE and THANKS MUCH for the video and share! I find you had MANY more choices than we have here on the other side of the pond, AND, NO MANUAL transmissions to speak of. I do wish you ALL THE BEST and Cheers! Enjoy and safe travels! Cheers :)

Scraping ice off the windscreen risks scratching the screen. I always use a kettle of COLD water. No scratches. Hot water risks cracking the screen

I’m glad you persevered to find a Van, at a price you’re comfortable with

We were at vanlife Stratford yesterday and this morning were looking for vanlife channels and love ❤️ your energy we are looking forward to sharing your adventures, happy building

The Ducato are the best of the 3 Sevel vans. Had a 63 plate which I converted in 2019 now have a Chausson motorhome on a Ducato base and they are awesome. Avoid the Ford transit. Mega injector problems . Good luck with the conversion 👌🏽

Watched all the video's and nice job of the camper van you've done, Shame i had for sale in April a new shape 22 plate Vauxhall Movano it's the same as Relay and Boxer i ended up selling it to a van sales place in stockport for £19700 plus vat, it had 400 miles on it, i bought it new and i couldn't get on with it i found it hard on suspension and seat seemed to give me a bad back but i'm alot older than you two

In the US these are badged as Ram Promsters. They are very high demand and I haven't seen anything but a fairly beaten up one for $37, 000. That was, I think, a 2018 with 90, 000mi. You also can't get them with a manual trans, which stinks. With the Euro falling vs the Dollar, I seriously think I could fly to Italy, grab a Ducato and an Aprilia, have them shipped back, and come out ahead on both of them.

The clutch is heavy because its almost worn out, fit a new one and your knee will be fine . changed many clutches always nice and light afterwards, Is an expensive job because the flywheel will need to be changed too. But worth it . good luck . 👍

[henrik.r]

Just stumpled upon your channel - looking forward to follow your journey! Great content!

[yorkshiresfinestpair]

Can't believe it 😱 we also wasted our time going to Bolton to look at that van.. did it still have the big hole in the seat. 🤣 We didn't buy either and walked away 🤣.
Like yourself we kept on upping the budget trying to buy the perfect Van, which I think we have now. We got the Boxer LWB 2017 with 30k on the clock private owned so very tidy. But paid the price. 🥺
Love your videos now got us following your YouTube channel 👍 #happyvanlife

It's funny how you wanted the windscreen mirror. I drove vans for years and never owned a car and when I finally did I removed the windscreen mirror because it got in the way. But yeah, get a rear camera they're handy.
