  • I’m this video I show my MPV camper conversion. Easy to change back, and cost pennies to do. I hope to do another vid where I show it in action!

    Nice to see your use of the grab handles to support the front curtain rail - that's in my design too, so good to see it works.

    I’m looking at the VW Touran as a day car/camper and this has given me some great ideas. Where did you source the aluminium rail, please ?

    Hi. I've just bought a Touran. I notice you have put the bed where I am planning to put mine, but have you removed the middle seat, our just folded it over.

    Great video. Can I ask how you made those window blinds and how you managed to keep them in place? And the bed...was it a bit of foam you had or a single mattress etc?

    • @known3909
      @known3909  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I made the blinds out of cardboard, two layers. I made a rough template and then trimmed it down bit by bit to get a snug fit - then copied for the other side.
      I covered the cardboard in black out fabric bought from eBay. I used a glue gun.
      They just push into place, except for the rear which is in two parts - left and right. They are held in place by two wooden wedges I made - and the wedge goes in behind the seatbelt casing on the roof. If I open the boot it all falls down lol
      The bed uses two futons on top of each other - I got them from fb market place for £15 the pair and then washed the covers in the washing mashing 👍

      @@known3909 Great stuff, thanks for that. You've done things on the cheap but also effective👍👍

    Hi, What have you done with the middle row 3 seats and the rearmost left seat? Have you removed them completely and does this need special tools?

    • @known3909
      @known3909  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Gillian that’s a great Q. The middle 3 seats just pull out easy peasy. The boot seat unbolts with 4 fixings I think. I had to use a bit of old wood as a spacer for the remaining boot seat, to make it level.
      I keep all the spare seats under my bed!

    Thinking about getting a touran for this purpose. Do you not find the floor in the back too uneven and bumpy with the seats removed?

    • @known3909
      @known3909  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, yes - some sort of flat surface is required 🙌
