What did we learn? FIRST NIGHT OF VANLIFE | Fixing our Van Build Mistakes | Mercedes Vario | Ep39

We finally got onto the road! We are giving you a rundown of all the Van Build mistakes we have made and how it affected our first couple of nights in the van! It felt so amazing to finally have the van out in the real world and once we'd experienced it we didn't want to stop - but we still have a way to go on our build so it's back to the lock up to crack on with our list!

We finally manage to locate LPG and connect our cooker up - we hunt down the leaks and voila! We can finally have a decent cup of tea in our van! Sophie gets to use her new stove top kettle and all is right with the world. We also manage to get the composting toilet nearer to completion - something we learnt was pretty essential on our trip away!

The clock is ticking down to seeing this van finally on the road!

After this week it feels like we are well on our way to making our very own tiny house on wheels with our Vario Van Conversion! Being able to see the van finally on the road is such a huge step forward! If you want to keep right up to date please follow us on Instagram! @maxandsophieinavan
