www.simonbraeck.com/shop/p/norway-travel-guide-jg3r7
Guess who just got a new van?! A Mercedes Sprinter 4x4, the perfect van for us. But, there is one problem. It's an empty cargo van, which means we have a lot of work on our hands. So much work, that we need to do the conversion during winter in order to have it ready for the next adventure we're planning. In this episode of the van build, we'll start chopping holes in the chassis, installing windows and a roof rack. Follow along to see the progress and watch our new adventure mobil come to life.

Love the T3! The colour is nice as well. I also have a T3 with the same rather rare roof tent, where did you find a new tent? Greetings from Denmark.
Hej från grannlandet, vilka vackra bilder!
Que buen viaje... Ustedes si que entendieron el espíritu de Costa Rica ... disfrutar de esos lugares alejados y salvajes sib querer cambiarlos y aceptar el bosque y el barro 😅
very. nice car and lovely couple, amazing roadtrips
I'm looking to build a campervan too, I will be following ur progress, well done so far. I really like the big side windows, what brand are they?
What if your unable to drive? I want to visit norway, but I can't legally drive (seizures) what do you do in that case?
I would opt for a guided tour which will take care of organizing transport, sightseeing etc
Simon!! Brilliant video.. Inspired me so much that I booked my trip... Now need to figure our logistics.. IS end of August early September okay months to come visit Senja, Lofoten and do troltunga and pulpit rock?
Thank you for the kind words! I love that time of the year, less crowds and the beautiful fall colors are starting to appear. I think you’ll be very happy🇳🇴
@@SimonBraeck thank you
You guys did a nice job
Breathtaking cinematography 10/10👍🎯🇨🇦5️⃣⭐️
Looking around that Northern area of Norway, pn Google Maps, it reminds me of the U.S. state of Vermont!
Holy - - where was that dramatic drop off???! That's certainly where a drone comes in - thanks for the view!!! Information of " end of the misnifhr sun" season was interesting. Little hut.. ❤ It seems that for a relatively sparsely populated country - or at least, the area of your country, roads and trails are exceptionally well tended.
At ~ 1:08 - where is that gorgeous waterfall?
At ~ 5: 27... Gorgeous mushrooms on fantastic looking bread - and gorgeous coffee cups which echo the visual texture of your meal! Beautiful cups! Gorgeous scenery! Thank you for having us along!
You guys didn't go to the Caribbean??
Not this time, weather forecast was poor the days we had planned to go there
@@SimonBraeck you missed a 💎
Excellent business class product! That show why SQ is always a top airline
Awesome video! How much time would you recommend you need to do this trip? (Kinda like asking how longs a piece of string but, if you had to do this trip in a minimum amount of time, what would you say? If you had 2 weeks in Norway, what would your itinerary be? Thank youuuu
Chanterelle
I feel kind of sad..we just started traveling into our new T3 hightop campervan❤ and we are just sad knowing you guys without your T3.. You guys inspired us, and we were so happy watching you guys having those gorgeous trips... Stay safe wherever you guys are!
I have about 1000 square meters in Sardinal in Guenacaste Costa Rica not beach side about 7 kilometers to playas de coco and ment other beaches near buy. I was thinking in possibly investing in conditioning the property in a Van life rest area. We are not beach side so I am worried no one will want to use the camp side. We would have water, showers, restrooms a sink for washing dishes possibly a laundry room. Electricity and Wi-Fi and enough space in between vans to be simi private. A ranch with tables chairs to eat as well as a roofed area to get a work out in. Any advice would be very appreciated. We plan to charge $20 a day with a flexible check in and out.

Norway dept. Of tourism should be sponsoring you. Enthralling movies. Thanks.👍
Magical. 👍💛
You have such a beautiful country. You capture everything perfectly. With love from New Zealand. 👍💛
Stunning. Thank you.👍
Breath taking vistas. Pure artistry. You capture the environment and mood vibration on your movies. Thank you for taking us with you on your epic adventures. 💛🙏
Spectacular. Awewome creativity. Such a good job of editing, material, b rolls, transitions, sound and track and cinema photography. Enjoyed every moment, as I do all your movies.
👍

Looking good! Exciting times ahead.
Hi! I love all your videos about Norway. We would like to hire a mini caravan (not a campervan!) in Norway to attach it to our car and travel around the country. Do you know if that's possible? Are there any companies specialized in renting mini caravans? Thanks in advance!
Hvilket merke er de store sidevinduene?
What flywheel and clutch do you use?
Har dere vurdert dampsperre? Når fuktig luft fra ånden og kokkelering siver ut igjennom panel og møter den kalde stålveggen, så vil den kondensere på veggen. En dampsperre vil forhindre den fuktige luften å møte den kalde ytterveggen.
Hvorfor være redd for kondens? Jo fordi når den fuktige lufta kondenserer på ytterveggen så samler det seg fukt og det gir grobunn for mugg.
More comfort than the T3.
Lekker hoor. Als je een keer samen op pad wilt voor een overnighter hoor ik het graag.
Nice video! Siden dette bare er et tema i Norge, blir spørsmålet på Norsk😊 Er det noe dere må tenke på rundt godkjenning, vekt osv eller trenger dere ikke få den godkjent som camper-bil? Vurderer å gjøre det samme selv😊
Hei! Ja, det er en del greier… Står om det på Vegvesenet sine sider, samt i Lovdata, paragraf 2.5 (om jeg husker rett). Begrensninger på total vekt og på akslingene ihht. vognkort. Du man omregistrere fra varebil til campingbil avgiftsfritt dersom man oppfyller en rekke krav, bla. til innvendig høyde, antall sengeplasser, div. innredning mm.
@@SimonBraeck så dere hensyntar dette i byggeprosessen? Følger dere fremover og si gjerne noe om hva dere må gjøre🙏 Si gjerne noe om hvorfor Sprinter og ikke en Crafter☀️👍
@@johnnygravfort764 Vi prøver på det ja 😊 Det er ikke god nok ståhøyde i en Crafter for meg, så det måtte bli en Sprinter!
You will poop in your bedroom kitchen and living room at the same time
HI, just stumbled upon your channel and thought I would leave a comment. I have been many locations around the world and I've had the fortune of visiting Norway several times for work. Norway has the friendliest people I have encountered and of course it is amazingly beautiful there despite the cold. I wish you two the best with your van build and the coming adventures you will have.
Thank you very much! What a wonderful comment, I really appreciate it. I truly love this country and want to show it to the world and I’m hoping this build will enable doing this even more🤗
New sub here , greetings from Wales , Zulu is so beautiful , sending big hugs to the puppy , looking forward to more vids of the build <3 :D
Thank you! She will enjoy the adventures this van will enable🤗
Dette blir bra! Det skal bli spennende å følge dere videre.
Takker! Håper alt går som planlagt😊👌🏼
Simon,did you use thread glue on those roof bolts?
Yes sir🫡
NICE !! Good luck am looking forward to the evolution & new adventures!!
My wife and I looked at building out a Ram Promaster Adventure Van. But as retired psychologist and school teacher, we decided that we didn’t have the skills or patience to do it right. So we bought a 3/4 ton Ram truck and bought a new slide in truck camper with wet bath, kitchen, and queen sized bed. It was three years ago and we have traveled from coast to coast in the USA. But I still admire other campers’ van builds. And we still have our 1978 VW Camper Bus for trips closer to home. Your build is looking great!😎👍
Simply an awesome video (just like all the previous ones). Can't wait for the next episode. I wonder how much extra noise does the roof rack bring. I mean, if you happen to realise that it was not so necessary in the end, would it be not only wasted time and money but also lifelong burden in the form of increased noice? Or is that negligible / not hearable?
Nice build where you got this roof rack and how much😊
Så kult, artig å følge dere og ser frem til nye videoer fra fremtidige eventyr
Tusen takk! Eventyr skal det bli👏🏼
Can I ask how far in kilometres did you travel in your VW camper? any break downs?
We've done close to 50.000 km. Had a few broken belts (alternator etc.), some broken CV-joints and had to change the water pump. Been on the tow-truck twice😁
I am a new follower of your channel Greetings from Sweden 😊
Greetings! Thank you👏🏼
Nicely done ! That’s going to turn into an epic van 🚐 10/10 love watching the build . 🇨🇦🎯👍5️⃣⭐️🚐
Thanks! I hope so too👏🏼
