We Have to Tear Down Our Van - Van Makeover E09

We made the wrong choice. And because of it, our van build will take a giant leap backwards. Not ideal, but it's what we have to do.

We are Korean youtubers doing the van life in our self built Kia Bongo III Coach campervan. The female van lifer is Lucy and the Male is Mark. We are currently travelling from South Korea to Europe via Russia and Mongolia. Finding awesome camping spots along the way. Right now we are in Morocco building our van again. this time with a custom DIY high top.

Hi.

Thanks for another nice van build video. It just hit me what is so different: You two are in a foreign country building this. That adds extra layers to the process of getting things done. Even just locating consistent material. Wow! My hat off to both of you.

Most van adventures just show the places that they visit. It is super impressive that you are also showing the rebuild of your van over there.

Keep up the great work. You will get there.

I think it all looks very good. The hue of the slats is very nice and the decision to repaint the window frames gray is good. But a saying we have comes to mind here…don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good enough.

Yes... better. Also grey the back cupboard.

Also, before I forget. Measure the overall height of your van and put the height on you driver side sun visor. You'd be surprised how many campers drive into car parks and smash the roof off.💕

These 2 questions had been in my mind which I woulg like to find out more. (I also planning to drive around Europe)
1) Do you apply for visa prior to leaving Korea or at each border check point on arrival?
2) What you about your camper entry permit and insurance? How do you go about it?

At first, I didn't understand, but now that you showed the change, it looks really good. I like the colour scheme. Thanks for keeping us posted! It's all coming together.

Mornin Tubi Owners, yeh wOw! It does pop more now. Good stuff. Liked that creme coloured van in front goin round the roundabout, not as much as Tubi but ... What did "I'm dizzy" mean please? Nice goin Mark, give Speedy Gonzalez a run for his money. 😂Thanks m8, keep up the good work, you and yours stay safe and well.

I'm sure it was frustrating to have to take the sides, window frames & cabinet down but you two knew you'd grow to really hate the original color. Good thing the slats didn't have to be taken down one by one. I do like the gray. Yay Tubi 2.0!
