Hi - thanks for the comment and checking out the videos 👍 I got the flooring from Harrison Trim suppliers here www.harrisonstrimsupplies.co.uk/Altro-Contrax-Rear-cut-floor-to-fit-VW-T5T6-SWB

@@TransitCustomCamper thank you!

Ah thanks 🙏 hrmm now that’s a question! I can’t remember now it was about 1 or 1.5 inches I think? Sorry I can’t remember for sure 😅

Yeah.. I think you probably right 😂 I wanted to cover the core parts of the build and yes some bits not in here for sure.. a lot of things I bought after and also for a bit more content to film too 👍

Ah great thanks 👍 Appreciate the comment and for checking out the videos 😀

Thank you 👍

Ah nice one thanks! Good luck with your conversion! Drop me a line with any questions and I’ll help if I can 👍 Thanks again for the comment and checking out the videos

Hey.. thanks for checking out the video and the feedback. What did you do on your build? It was my first attempt so be great to get your view? We can still use the cupboard & have since put in a shelf and a partition and a rail also.. so it’s not too bad 😅

Hey! Hrmm not too sure.. You can set the temp of the fridge and also separate for the freezing area.. have you checked that? If still not getting cold then might need to contact the supplier.. ours gets cold pretty quick usually within 30 mins when ambient temperature is fairly cool anyway..

Hi - yes it’s a good point! After I had done it a few people commented about carpeting beyond the seal which was a mistake really.. I since went back and sorted it.. I did a video on some errors I made and things I’d do differently too.. it’s here now f you haven’t seen it 👍 th-cam.com/video/GKJotRfVq4Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HL8kK8Zll1pICJk9

@@TransitCustomCamper only because I was just getting ready to do mine lol

@@dean2smith- ah yeah.. I would leave the seal clear to contact with the metal 👍

Hey! Thanks for the comment and checking out the video!

Hi.. yeah sorry the bed wasn’t in this one.. I did another video just of the rock n roll bed here th-cam.com/video/kUVrw4AwfU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MbFi7WIZ-DIc9Qv1

Hi.. thanks for the comment! Yes I think the panel would be on all the time without the kill switch.. I don’t think the draw down would be massive but yes eventually I guess could start to drain the battery… I guess you could use one of the switches as a main switch.. or could use a smaller separate switch you can get small single ones.. I’d maybe bench test it before fitting and make sure it’s all good 👍 good luck with it!

@@TransitCustomCamper Yeah agreed. I have one in my bongo that switches from Leisure, Car and Off which is nice and straightforward. But I'm converting a transit custom and want a much nicer/clean finish. Think I'm just going to install an isolator like you have. They look really bulky though which is a shame.

@MazdaBongo1599 yeah they definitely function over form! But also makes it easier to find in the dark 😂 hope you get a good solution you happy with 👍

Thanks for your comment and checking out the video 👍 The blue “thing” on the inlet is like a clip that secures the plug into the inlet and keeps it secure 👍

Hey.. Yes..It’s connected all the time and when we on hook up usually turn it on to keep the leisure battery topped up. Thanks for checking out the content and the comment too! Very much appreciated and good luck with your conversion 👍

Hi mate - I think I got them off Etsy www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1431675913/2x-premium-vinyl-steering-wheel-sticker?gpla=1&gao=1&&CjwKCAjwhIS0BhBqEiwADAUhc1JuG2S5ckOi3XUls9N872xpXkV_8OqLC37HXu9yAOUOZL5EQKt1ChoCEQAQAvD_BwE_k_&:pla-314261241347_m__1431675913engb_102858184&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADutTMfZrfR4-JDktphZcv9ZXsoAK&gclid=CjwKCAjwhIS0BhBqEiwADAUhc1JuG2S5ckOi3XUls9N872xpXkV_8OqLC37HXu9yAOUOZL5EQKt1ChoCEQAQAvD_BwE

Yes - I was told that too - thanks.. good to know 👍

I think maybe I made it look harder than it is as a complete amateur 😂 I took a couple of hours I think…

Yes we did in the end - some places we don’t have WiFi of 4G a lot of the time 😂

Have to be honest no not really 😂 I am just about 6ft so my head don’t fit too well.. kids have used em from time to time..

@@TransitCustomCamper my youngest is 6’6” and still growing so that’s a no as well then 😂😂

Hi - I picked it up on Amazon but I just looked and it says not available at the moment? Might be able to get direct or eBay? amzn.to/4eH18mO

Ah good 👍 yeah it’s been really good.. just one thing I noticed after I had run the wire for the camera it can detach with a connector which I think would make the install a bit easier 👍

@TransitCustomCamper one question: Does the camera get scratched with car washes?

Ah cool mate - thanks for checking out the video and the comment. Yeah I was nervous about the whole thing! Especially the electric side! But once I got going with it the principles are pretty straight forward.. the first time I powered it all on though was still a butt clench moment 💩 😀

@@TransitCustomCamper yea no problem mate I’ve subscribed too, you’re videos will most likely be gospel from now on 😂

Ah great Peter! It was the part of the build I was most nervous about but wasn’t too bad in the end! Good luck with it and let me know how you get on 👍

No actually that was the one thing I didn’t do! When we first got the van I didn’t want to mess that bit up 😀 So I got a local firm to supply and fit.. Looking back now I would probably give it a go 👍 A few other videos on TH-cam people have done it DIY

@@TransitCustomCamper if you don’t mind me asking did it cost much

@@cbgamer1056- I can’t recall now to be honest I think it was £250?

@@TransitCustomCamper thank you

Hey David - thanks for comment and glad the videos are helpful.. 👍 I had the windows fitted by a local firm. At the time I didn’t have the confidence to do it 😂 looking back now I would have give it a go and not too difficult.. Good luck with the build! Give me a shout anytime if I can help with anything 👍

I think it was 3mm ply from memory - thanks for the kind words - yeah was happy with how it all turned out 👍

For which bit?

That’s what she said 😂 Sorry… at first no.. but after I put some screws through the plastic feet on the fridge as opposed to the internal into the side of the cupboard 👍

@@TransitCustomCamper cool. That’s what I’m thinking. Cheers

Hi - I am not 100% sure of the name.. mine already had them.. But I think ceiling wiring loom covers or something like that?

Hey 👋 Thanks Terry! Glad the humour landed 😀 but also that it was useful too 👍

Ah cheers Paul 👍 Thanks for the comment and checking out the videos 😀

😂 Ha yeah.. I did notice after and put it right 🤦‍♂️ Thanks

Thank you! Glad you liked the video and the blind too 👍

Hi Dean - I got all the materials separately and built it all. I did a video here with a break down of all the items and the costs and where to get them in comments with links th-cam.com/video/yXjvPr94cZA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jKPSLOPiGZVCLDZf

Hi - I honestly can’t remember the position sorry - I tested to see which one had an ignition feed.. I’ll have to check again 👍

Hi - I got a normal mirror with a suction cup that attached to windscreen and then attached the camera mirror to that 👍

Hi.. Ah great good luck with the conversion. I think I used a couple of packs. I don’t think you need 100% coverage just around 60-70%.. not sure if you seen it but I did this video on all the materials and costs too th-cam.com/video/yXjvPr94cZA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BS-3x-ZAPTfg2fDf

Hi! Thanks for the kind comment and checking out the video 👍 It’s a SWB.. We find it plenty big enough for what we need.. but would advise getting an awning too.. We got a Cubo awning and this just really helps make the most of the van and be able to have somewhere to stand up 😀

Oh great thank you and for the info re the awning. He will be thrilled when I tell him about his retirement project 😆

He's a carpenter of many years experience so his skills and tools will all come in handy 😃

Ah great yeah! These are well worth a go compared to the cost of the pods! No I didn’t use a template - I just measured up and then had a few test fits before I got the final fit 👍

@@TransitCustomCamper fair play to you looks factory. What size ply did you use

Yeah! That would be one good road trip!

@@TransitCustomCamper yeah, me a Muslim myself, I would love to drive through the Arabian peninsula!

Thanks for the comment.. Would the US term be conduit maybe? Not 100% sure?

No - I didn’t actually! Maybe could have done..Although when I came to fit the roof liner I did add some extra insulation under that also 👍

I got it from a company called Vinyl Warehouse - it’s been really good since fitted and the van has had quite a lot of use 👍 www.vinylwarehouse.co.uk

@@TransitCustomCamper sweet, thanks. Gives a very professional finish.

Yes, thanks for pointing it out.. I do need to get things updated - I’ll check the links 🔗

@@TransitCustomCamper as we speak I’m pulling my transit van 2008 mk7 apart and coping u 😂😂

Ah nice one 👍 hope your build goes OK! Thanks for checking out the content.. drop me a comment with any questions and I’ll try and help if I can
