In this episode I delve into the fascinating yet largely unknown story of Ben Carlin and his Amphibious creation; Half Safe.
We all have wild dreams that we never expect to come to fruition, crazy schemes that in reality would probably end in tears or get us killed.
Well, Ben Carlin decided to actually put on of his ideas into action, he built an amphibious jeep/camper and literally went around the world in it.

I always struggle for space despite having quite a big home on wheels.
Taking my work tools around with me quickly fills the garage under the bed.
I needed a solution, and I found one by stealing some dead floor space.
As I lifted the bed up I not only gained space under it but I then built a platform extending out through half of the van, creating space underneath that too.
Lance is also happier as his bed area is now taller.

This is a Vlog, not so much a How to. But the job gets done.
Over these few videos, I take my ex-ambulance camper conversion apart to fix all the big body and mechanical problems with it.
All filmed within the same week and then separated into a number of videos covering.
Scuttle panel replacement
Air suspension leak
Handbrake overhaul
Propshaft centre bearing
Chassis reust repair, paint and wax oil
and a few little bits in between.
Not a mechanic, just keeping costs down.
Thanks for watching!

This is the last video in the series, where Me, Ash, Marie and the dogs finally get the park-up weve ben crazing.
Quiet, secluded, coastal and plenty of space for the dogs to roam.
We spend 4 days here in the end, going off exploring then returning.
Right up until I had to depart from the convoy and return to normality.
I really hoped you enjoyed this series, until the next one!
