What We're Doing Before Converting a Van Into a Campervan Vlog | Mercedes Van Engine Issues

Ever wondered how to lift a heavy engine out of a van? Well, we’re showing you how in this week’s video! But it’s not all smooth sailing... Our Mercedes van has some serious engine problems, and we’ve hit a few setbacks along the way. We’re tackling the challenges of our campervan conversion journey, one step at a time. 😂Please subscribe:    / @themayorsmiths   and don’t forget to tell us your own plans in the comments – we’d love to hear all about them!
