We had a Vanlife disaster - a dangerous one at that.
We didn't realise how close we'd actually come to causing harm to ourselves and others until we managed to get a really close look at the damage. After returning from our first big trip out in the van Sophie noticed a noise coming from the rear wheels. It turned out the wheel nuts had come so loose the wheel had worn through the bolts.
Follow along as we source new hardware for the wheels and try to replace the broken one on our Mercedes Vario 614d!
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
