I hope you never have to remove the rear passenger side window panel. Did the manufacturer recommend fitting it that way. I would have been tempted to cut the panel so that the latch receiver was fixed firmly to the door

As someone who has investigated many van thefts and break ins I can assure you none of these are effective, your van is only as safe as you windows, most of which are easily broken or melted if plastic, thief’s easily climb in through broken windows, yer you can have a safe for you valuables but most are ineffective, once they are in they are undetected and take time to go through your stuff or break into a safe! In fact having these just cause more damage to your van, they are unlikely to steel your van as they are easily found via ANPR ! Air tag works as good as any tracking device !

A good hose with fresh water. Work into the letters some good quality green washing up liquid with a tooth brush. Leave for half hr. Rinse off using hose. Magic sponge the letters. I did the whole wall of the tyres. Rinse off and boom letters are white like new. This method uses very little abrasion. Not sure whats in Magic sponges but I use them for all types of jobs. They deffo live up to their name

I wouldn’t waste your time with the chain around the seats if someone really wanted it they just bolt crop it but other then that good video

Hello, can you please share where did you buyed these tanks? Thanks

Why the annoying music while you are sharing valuable information? Is is a TH-cam thing?

Hi, thanks for this helpful video. Even years on some like me have copied your design. It look very professional. A couple of notes for others. My doors are 300 x 600. They weigh 2 kg (you could route the backs out?) Struts are 80 newton's. With a nudge they self close, open and latch. Note the evo latches are plastic but are still very good. Note the hinges are only adjustable once fitted, in/out and up/down. For left / right, fit hinges to doors and align to your frame including spaces, then mark out. I used plastic shims to get gaps spot on. Take your time 😊

I am about to go and buy a drivers instead of starving for two months in order to buy a passenger seat . All I can say is this video has been the answer to my prayers got to congratulate you also on the easy explanation instructions on how to do it all instead of baffling everyone with science. I seen many conversions footage were they all seem to have access to every power tool under the sun as well as a garage that looks like Halfords, great video very informative and simple thanks 👌🏼

Why doesn’t the manufacturer have anything at all on details of the installation of THERE OWN WINDOW? Makes zero sense? I guess it’s so they don’t have records of how to install it then later find out it was not the best way to install it?

Think both you and the “vapour barrier knowers” are wrong, I would choose a membrane , a put in between wall and steel panels can vape out but can’t get in. I think you are doing exactly the same, knowing it exactly..

well done. Life might be a bit easier if your really soaked those old bump stop bolts from above with some pentrative product 24 hours or more before starting work, then work them backwards and forwards so you dont muck up the threads. I'd prefer having that gauge where I can see it on the dash board, and would much prefer having left and right pressure gauges.

17:15 imperial system in a nutshell LOL

I contacted the manufacturer that supplies our source for the bubble foil insulation. They said I could layer the sheets to gain over 12R value. There is a USA manufacturer of $200,000 priced class C & B RV's, EMBASSY RV. They are layering the bubble foil 8 layers inside the walls of their sprinter type vans. They have tested this system using 150F heat lamps on the outside of the vans and claim the inside of the vehicle maintained normal room temperature. They also are using the very expensive fiberglass Sandwich panels in their other larger motorhomes. TWO MISTAKES DIY BUILDERS MAKE. *They compress the insulation* this destroys the R value. They also forget to install sufficient *Powered Air vent* I personally do most of our cooking and showering at my outdoor accessories.

How many amps was the D+ fuse?

hi how did you get on with the multi foil ceiling blanket after did it work .

Great video, wouldn't it have been easier to just put a piggyback fuse on your ignition wire? Saves the worry of cutting through with a splice connector, cheers

Just one very important point, your fuse position leave most of the cable to your batteries unprotected, the cable to your leisure battery bank from the fuse would still be live, so a short along that run would not blow the fuse… The lead to the van battery is similarly not protected by the fuse in the position. Fuses should be placed as close to the power supply as possible (in this case the batteries) to avoid having and unprotected cable run.

That makes perfect sense to me. I would put a very barrier on the roof so that if it did leak the water would drizzle down the sides and leave plenty of circulation so it can dry out before it becomes a problem. Thanks for the tip.

Brilliant conversion and an inspiration! Are the kitchen's water pipes under the van's floor, i.e. outside?

So how is it, 3 yrs on was it the right decision?

Ive just got myself a 2021 boxer H2L4. First job is to get the single front seat - ive heard its hard to find..? The seats are same as yours with the red dot patten. Do you have any advice or pointers as to where to look??

Why not use an Airtag?

How do you rate the mattress?

Did you already have C1? How much did it cost?

Did you have to beef up your alternator, and did you engine management light come on whilst charging?

Hi Are these windows double glazed --- ie to cut down condensation. thanks

What's the benefit of painting the wheels?

Hi mate, how did you get on with this?

Or just buy a victron……so much easier

How is it getting on now?

What are the cutout dimensions please?

Hi, thanks for the video, I was going for the CTA frame but you have me re-thinking. I'm assuming you are not too far from me (Hampshire). Would be great to have a chat about other parts of your conversion. I might email you directly.

i didnt see the connection to the leisure battery? or the settings for lithium.

I’ve seen a few other van build videos with the renogy 2000w inverter suggest using a resistor to discharge the capacitors in the inverter. You’d think with the power switch off there would be no sparks when connecting to the battery terminals but apparently not. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi. Great video i have the same bench seat and will give your idea a try. Had it worked out do you have a picture of the finished seat?

Brilliant, well done, mate. Safe journeys.

I was just wondering how you've got all these years later with not installing a vapour barrier?

Nice & patient instalation , Will this charger not work if it's not connected to the ignition ?

After doing this, does your seat go down fully with the right side leavers which lower and raise the front and rear of the seat? I don't this and now my seat won't go all the way down at the rear.

A bit of 20mm conduit over the top for the bar you would never know love in the camper van 😊

what size doors did you use

Hi I have watched all your videos, and I find you talk sense. I read on FB and elsewhere that the longevity of ikea kitchens in a van is not good, due to movement and moisture. 2 years on from your install are you still happy with the units or would you have done it another way?

Hi The cables that charge the house batteries connected to the busbar ?

Great video 👌 I'm currently in the stage of building my own shower cubicle and got alot from this. Thanks for posting it online 👏

YOU'RE WRONG!!!! Just kidding, I have no opinion on the matter. Very Informative video.

Hi mate.What size are the Sumo.I want for my van Fiat Ducato 2018 -2,3 diesel

Ridiculous comparing insulation and vapour properties of a building to those of a van, not even remotely similar !

Great video thank you 👍did you think about using all 15mm domestic push fittings and pipe I thought John guest was quite expensive. Just wondering thank you and good luck 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢

Did you consider using the orignal double seat frame? or is that not as wide? Thanks for the content! lots of your videos liked and saved!
