Hi Chris....the ceiling in this one is going to be lacquered cladding with the dark carpet over the infills I put in. The next video series will be a H2 Boxer with a lot more head room. I plan to go whole hog and put underslung tanks in it, electric roof vent and a heater......I hope I can get onto it later in the year.

Thanks, I've never tried them but I'll take a look....always looking for better ways to do things.

Thanks a lot....there is a great debate about vapour barriers....my current thinking is in a day/weekend van like this and used plastic bottle insulation which in theory should not mould ot rot, it is not necessary. In a van which I was going to be living in for longer periods of time and cooking and using a shower, I would put one in. I know there are many conflicting opinions.....but to some degree the carpet with the spray adhesive on the back will also act as a sort of vapour barrier.

My pleasure.

I got it from a place called "kiravans". They have them up on their site.

My too. It's coming along real well. Thanks.

Thanks....the electrics are always done in a few different phases as the rest of the build progresses.

Many thanks.

My pleasure....Thanks for watching.

Thanks....good luck with your conversion.

Thanks a lot....It's coming along well.

Many thanks.

Thanks a lot and good luck with your own conversion....it's a great project.

Thanks very much.

I got most of the stuff off ebay....there aren't and shops locally that sell this sort of stuff.

@@dave-watson there's so much on there I don't really know what best to choose from, it's giving me a headache 😂

I believe the self tappers are stainless steel...so they should be okay.

Many thanks.

Thanks vey much

Thanks a lot.

Many thanks.

Thanks Mark....the van is coming along really well.

Thanks a lot....I've had a great day and hope you have too. Hope you enjoy the rest of this build series.

Thanks a lot....I await the call from netflix lol. Loads more baking and van building to come.

Totally agree - everything explained simply and with no fuss 👍

Thanks a lot....the whole build is to come.

I got them from Vanpimps. Thanks

My pleasure. Hope you enjoy the rest of this series.

Thanks...it's good to be back...hope you enjoy the series.

Many thanks.

Thanks very much. The van is really coming along. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

Thanks very much Carol. The van is coming along very well.....and there is a great custard tart coming on Wednesday.

My pleasure, the whole build is to come.

I'm planning on the wooden R&R bed....I've been working on the MKII R&R bed and I'll video the making of it.

I think that would be more than strong enough....I usually screw the frame to the floor and that seems to be good.

I think this is van No. 7. I'm looking at doing a Boxer next....a new challenge.

Thanks....not so sure about the transit....I was looking at getting a Boxer L2 H2 or something like that.

@@dave-watson well there pretty much same van mate transit engine

I am working in the MKII R&R bed....I will be making on later in this series.....I do sell them for £275 but I can only do local pick up. Good luck with your conversion and thanks for watching.

@dave-watson thanks for that , I'm interested in the R&R will be in the market for one in about 4 weeks, if its OK I'll send you a message with some measurements. Cheers

Thanks Gareth....I use the OSB because I find it easier to handle than the 12 mm ply, it's lighter and jest as stable when in the van.

Thanks a lot, the whole build is coming soon.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much

It's a great project to do.

@@dave-watson I have had four, a transporter, transit then relay then another transit I bought in November and had just finished insulation when someone stole it. Insurance have only paid me five thousand so starting again at the lower end…. Any inspiration is great as my needs in a van are really unique. Your content makes things look achievable

@@user-dy2px8gt1g That's tragic....Hope you find a new van, good luck with the search.

@@dave-watson thank you, actually I just drove from Burnley to brum today to look at a bright yellow minibus, I’ll have to get unwin seats for kids as it’s got rails and only three seats currently but have taken a gamble. It’s better than being without a van once you are used to having the versatility of one isn’t it ? Keep the inspiration coming though my build will be very much lower budget than yours 😋

My pleasure, the whole build is to come.

I recommend a pair of duck bill scissors. I've found em very useful for cutting away all the ridges in my bad carpeting, so they were not really noticeable

@crxspybacon123 thanks , I will source a pair

Yes, the wheel arches are a pain and a difficult shape.

Ooh, Cornish Pasty... Best not drink the water, though... Eh??? 😟😟😥😥😰😰🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

Cornish pasties coming soon.......and If I get the chance to get the van up on a ramp I certainly will seal the screws......Also steak and ale pasties to come.

Thanks a lot Carol

Thanks very much.

Welcome from the UK, I've never seen many with windows already in....some crew cabs but they usually have double sliding doors

Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much.
