**Please do hit the subscribe button as in the near future there is a full and comprehensive Video Van Tour coming up detailing everything about our build, inside out, top to bottom. From the very first sketches of our plans, the thinking behind its design and the systems we have running. Kind regards John and Kerry.**

Mercedes 614d Full restoration Bus to Camper 1st Anniversary photo montage.

We are John and Kerry and thank you for watching our full restoration van build on the anniversary of our start date. We are both keen DIY'ers and have our own set of skills in different areas that we managed to bring together to build isambard_

Isambard_ is both John and I second Mercedes Benz Vario build which we started on the 22nd November 2020 and continued with during the second Covid lockdown. John's third and he previously restored and fully renovated a 57ft narrow boat.

It had a full back end re-build and body realignment from a previous bad repair, we removed and reinstated a copious amount of steel on the chassis and bodywork thus ensuring the future longevity of the bus.

We had a budget, stuck to it and managed to create a luxurious multi functional, maximum five berth, fully off grid motorhome finished to the highest standard we could achieve constructed by ourselves and not using any manufactured fittings inside or out, top to bottom apart from solar, electrical and plumbing.

We previously did an interior conversion for our long time friend Graham (Sometimes I Wander) in six weeks. Both builds are documented on his channel.

Where do we go from here: This is not the end but the beginning. We have some more projects planned for the future as we come to the end of our home renovation, including a new search for a more extreme base vehicle.

**Catch up with us on Instagram were we are constantly updating further additions and alterations to reach the end goal. 👌
