everyone is like ‘iTs ToO hEaVy’ honestly the sound deading is like 10kgs tops 🤣🤣 and also it’s dead quiet on the road and at night so great for me. the flooring for the 18mm ply was literally a temp floor while I did the rest of the build. a 12mm black ply flooring from my furniture company was installed in the end.

just enough so that the jubille clips can hold down and make a decent seal between the two different pipe diameters. it technically wouldn’t matter how far you put it in - as the fuels only going one place! exhaust - yes - as per the instructions I basically cut my exhaust pipe a third from one end and inserted the muffler there. the ends were unchanged from factory.

​@@richard_builds_itthank you

im not a fan of the rock and roll beds but they do work great in some vans - my advice just check out other TH-cam channels as there’s so many variations that can look great! good luck with it 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

just google Kira Vans and they sell them! good price! I actually used a seat out of an older Vauxhall zafira or something but I did need to modify the fixing rails and use the correct strength bolts etc. the advantage of using a different seat is that it reclines and everything.

yeah you could absolutley leave it in I reckon - just would be a real pain to knock it out in situ or indeed to try a puller. I have a puller but for the sake of undoing a couple more bolts just thought it was way easier to remove the whole assembly. try it your way and let me know!!

if it’s the same engine then yes as the Renault traffic and vivaro are basically the same van

the table just pulls out if that’s what you mean. super easy screw base.

good work and it works a treat!! I had to clear my codes tho haha

yeah I agree! looks great. functions great. can’t complain at all!!

it’s mega quiet when I’m sleeping like the cosiest ever. people be like ‘iTS tOO HeAvy’. Bro my ass weighs more than the sound deadening. 🤣🤣

I know right! maybe because it has a crash test certificate - no idea just just need to test one lol. it was only about £200 so not super mad. but the doubles are twice that

nah a box is like 10Kg max or the heavy stuff and the cloud looking insulation weighs jack sht. the massive win is that the van is DEAD quiet at night it’s actually amazing.

it think it’s 1.8m so a real decent length. plenty of space. it’s also 152cm wide which is wild.

which T price the one for the heater? do you mean for the fuel lines or something?

@@richard_builds_it yes mate for fuel line

No I didn’t use any T peices for the heater. The fuel line was direct into the fuel feeder - I had to remove the whole fuel tank and follower. The line from the fuel filler goes straight to the fuel pump which goes straight to the fuel line on the bottom of the heater.

yeah from a company called theplyguys.co.uk a Scottish based firm

I used like a normal 2 core cable - but just check the diameters - it was what I would call ‘normal cable’

I just googled pick lights and bought some with a frosted face and they were about £60 all in. yeah it’s wired to my fuse board which is obviously to the battery. check my other electrical video out for the full install

cheers literally changed loads and just couldn’t remember haha

cheers bro really appreciate it!

@@richard_builds_it I’m in the process of buying a van so I appreciate your videos for help. 👌

carpet looks pretty good I think - which I guess is why I did it 🤣 what would you do? scabby ill fitting wood panelling?

hoping it goes well 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I wish I was that good! 🤣🤣 all came from theplyguys.co.uk a small but very professional outfit just north of Glasgow. check thier website out

cheers bro no problems and best of luck with it!

@@richard_builds_it Cheers mate 👍🏻😉

that sounds amazing! I am currently in the Allgaü in southern Germany for a month and can confirm the ply guys pull out kitchen unit is so so useful! make sure to make a small ‘stop’ when you slide your bed units in it stops all the bed prices flying everywhere when you brake! good luck!!

🤣🤣 thanks so much. Van is so much quieter now it’s unreal 💪🏻💪🏻

the rubber I used came in a standard length in the kit I ordered and it was about 300-400mm too long so was easy to just trim to length. does that answer your question? thanks. Rich

@@richard_builds_it thanks Rich. I was more asking about the profile of the rubber.

sweet sounds like a great build!! I figured making it neat makes it easier to sort any problems if they exist! so far no problems - currently on a month trip in Europe and no issues what so ever 🤣🤣 I am electricity heavy now running fridge freezer fans all the usual chargers but the solar is really earning its keep!!!

I used a Zafira seat yeah. although it did take some fettling to attack it to both the swivel base and also the seat base but that’s because my heater is under there and I needed the clearance. like I’ve always said do your own research - make sure to use the correct rated bolts for fixtures with the correct tensile strength.

I used 15m of carpet from Coombes Valley Campers it came with 15 tins of adhesive aswell - so was really well priced all in.

cheers I really appreciate it.

really sorry 🤣🤣 it’s awful I think I’ll upload again this weekend or next weekend as your not the first person to say that 🤣🤣 I’m still learning!

sorry bro - still learning with the videos! Will try to upload one at the weekend for you!

yeah sure thing let me check it tomorrow and get back to you. what ever you do don’t use 12mm ply 🤣🤣🤣 I reckon 6 would be okay depending on the thickness of the batons you use.

Thanks 👍

Right got them. It’s 245cm long by 151cm wide. but make sure to check the measurements. I bought a non standard sheer and had it cut to size but still had to trim it which was a pain. And I know I already mentioned but don’t use 12mm thick ply it’s far too heavy haha. Perhaps 6/9 but it’s your choice.

You are a legend , thanks for f the measurements, Agee I will probably go with the 6mm …I will let you know how I get on

cheers really appreciate it 💪🏻💪🏻

cheers bro just hope it helps people. got brakes and wheel bearings to do in the next few weeks so that video will be going up!

thanks I think it was from a 2008/2010 one I’m not sure. but I still had to drill the spacer box section in any case! just make sure to use the 10.9 rated bolts and do your own research 💪🏻💪🏻

Thanks Richard, thinking of using some insignia seats

thanks 🤣🤣 I think 😂 isn’t that the point?!

@@richard_builds_it it wasn’t a compliment but yet again your ego and inflated sense of self importance kicks in first🙄.

You okay hun? 🤣🤣

haha cheers bro really appreciate it

pretty sure they are 10mm deep socket.

Van was £7.5K Build cost was £9k or so. Broken down as follows: Electronics: 2.5k Materials/wood: £500 Insulation and sound deadning: 1000 Furniture: 4K Swivel base: £250 Heater: £500

haha yeah for sure bro. it’s mega quiet now. I got the kit off CommbevalleyCampers and that’s what they sent me so that’s what I used 🤣🤣

well I really appreciate that bro. It works a dream to be honest - only thing I’ve changed since building it was some hooks and I soldered the LEDs because the connectors are terrible.

if you head to theplyguys Website (Google them) they have allllll the dimensions listed there. my bed set was called ‘Assynt’ I believe. they have everything you need.

the passenger seat (in my van) didn’t have any wires what so ever! so absolute win! every time I removed the driver seat I was mega careful not to turn the engine on and throw a code. wouldn’t matter anyway as I have a code reader - but yeah no wires for the passenger side!!

@@richard_builds_it What year is your van?

2015 so the new shape 💪🏻

@@richard_builds_it Mine is an 08, so I don't know, they must be doing it some other way. Our double seat is the dog's bed.

cheers bro appreciate it - got all the carpeting and insulation from Combe Valley Campers. great shop. just google them and they will come up. also they do amazing TH-cam videos aswell it’s where I learnt to do everything in my van!

@@richard_builds_it thanks for the reply, I will check them out , just going to start a project, in an few weeks so looking for some ideas Cheers

hi bro and thanks for the support! erm I mean it works with check engine codes etc and it dosnt go super deep. for the home mechanic it’s okay. I think it only covers check engine codes and not much else. I think in the future I’ll probably spend the £££ and get a proper Autel or something like that as it does everything.
