With 25yr Roadie background, this garage put a smile on my face.... just converting a Sprinter LWB atm, but wont have that kinda budget or skill... nice job dude...
Thanks for the comment. I did a sprinter camper a few years back all in that flight case material. If you go to coastlinecampers.com it’s there in one of the gallery pages
You really need to have a youtube channel ( i know i know this is one - but a dedicated 1 ..know what i mean ) . There is something enticing n lovely about your ability to talk to an invisible audience yet be very genuine about it , with cheekiness thrown in. Loved the van and your colour palette . If i needed to build one , reckon everything you chose would do it perfectly for me . Kudos to the wrap lady. She did a brilliant job . Sophisticated n funky ..just my style too.
Don't change anything, mate, everything look where they should be. A day bed to take a nap is not necessary. A van is small enough as it is. It's just perfect the way it is, mate. We'll done!
I like this guy, his work is top class, the van is finished beautifully, I could watch this over again for the tips, I hope he’s done a full build step by step tutorial for this van, I need the guidance for when I do mine and his layout is pretty much how I’d want mine. Going to search the other vids now,👍
You've got some skills there buddy, beautiful job. As someone who has done a couple of builds myself I can appreciate the effort to produce a result like that.
I've just finished my 2nd van build using the 3.0 litre 180hp Ducato. Love having the extra power there, compared to my current van which is a 2.3 litre Iveco. Makes the world of difference.
What a cracking van build, love it. Exterior as you say looks top notch, the length of the van with the additional power is a big plus and the interior is finished superb, Bamboo is stunning. Garage is immaculate and with lithium added would be a great self sufficient off-piste home. Great job, well done and enjoy. Thanks for sharing, its to good not to.
Fantastic build, totally admire your ability and attention to detail. I’ve an Adria Twin 640 on a Ducato base which I think is a great looking vehicle but yours is defo up there 👏
Good morning from Mexico mate. Love it, great conversion and great video, even down to the “trauma heater”😂. Can’t wait to see it in the flesh, perhaps at the next AO!
Agree that this is a really great layout for the important things. Normal kitchen, normal bed, normal bathroom. And from the outside it's not that obvious what's on the inside. I would perhaps shift the sink around a little bit (and perhaps the popup table in the kitchen area could fall flat into the side of the cupboard).
I’ll ping you a pic of the pop up table when it’s closed, it does go flush, one of my favourite bits with all the bamboo grain flowing . Thanks for the comment.
Like the bed area should go induction then know gas bill and underfloor heating electric pads of the solar and rain capture filter of roof for water tanks 😊
Full bed lift at the front, replace the rear with a lounge? It would take some figuring out but could be stunning. This as it is though is great. The only thing I can fault these layouts on it if you have 3-4 people sat around the table at the front, you all will be playing footsy under the table. Too close quarters for me! Superb work, best I've seen so far.
Thanks Phil, I’ve since sold it and you’re right about the lounge area, was only for me and the girlfriend but anymore than that and it’s far too small.
Stunning van. Your ideas for future build are spot on. Didn't know about the Ducato being a nicer van than Boxer etc. Three front seats would be better for family then you could move sink, cooker and fridge to behind front seats and get more room next to shower ? Or sliding unit that slides out under another to go in front of side door ?
I just bought a used campervan; a ducato but with the 3 liter 180 hp engine. Drives perfect. The problem with self build ones is that I never would buy one, because I have no idea what standards were used. It is like buying a used self built sail boat. All of a sudden you are in the middle of the ocean and t starts delamintaing. So great for you and if you plan on using it forever not so much if u want to sell it, but suckers are born everyday; people who are stupid and dont know
Every conversion is based upon the owners requirements and these are yours. For me, it appears a large van with little space and not suitable at all for my needs. However you have taken a lot of time and effort in the build. Have you ever seen "Deep Red" a self built camper by a retired couple. Sadly Ian has passed away, but the website provides all the info on the build and how it was done.
Yes I’ve seen deep red and I agree every self build should indeed be tailored to the owner, I learnt that on and the Landrovers I converted, no two were the same. I’m looking forward to building another later next year and I agree more space next time.
What a great built!!! I would like to know the lengths and distances of the sections like hoe long is the kitchen block, how long is the shower/toilet section. How wide is the bed etc.... a very great and useful van!!! Awesome thanks for inspiration!!
Hi thanks for watching unfortunately I've now sold it and can't remember the dimensions, at a guest the kitchen top was 120cm long bed was 128cm wide think the shower block was just over a metre long maybe. hope that helps a bit.
Really like the van, personally galley area not to my like but that's a personal preference and only criticism is ability to "make" the bed could be better. BUT all in all am in awe of what you've been able to create :D
What a beautiful build.Inside and out,your van looks the bees knees.I’ve been considering doing one myself.But with next to no diy skills,i feel it’s a bit out of my reach.
The way to look at it is, -Plan it on paper -Research -Price materials -Do one small bit at a time -And it will be done. Commitment is key. My dad always brought us up saying "there's no such a word as can't". -
Nice build. Would love to know how the T5 rear seat is fixed to pass an mot. It looks like its on a wooden platform & I thought it had to be bolted directly to the floor. How is it fixed please? Any video of that part of the build?
Great van,looks a quality build. A lot of time and effort and love put into it. Good that you said the parts you change 👍
This van/camper would be perfect for going “walk about” on weekends. Solar. Is best for energy under the Big Sky. Really cool.

Man the way you speak is amazing i can listen to you for hours
Thanks Ali, not sure my girlfriend would agree😀
You really need to have a youtube channel ( i know i know this is one - but a dedicated 1 ..know what i mean ) .
There is something enticing n lovely about your ability to talk to an invisible audience yet be very genuine about it , with cheekiness thrown in.

Kudos to the wrap lady. She did a brilliant job . Sophisticated n funky ..just my style too.
Thankyou, very kind words, I’m still finding my feet with style and direction hopefully it will all fall into place at some point.
The body looks far better than the orginal you got inspiration from. Well done.
Lovely van! I love the wrap and color scheme...very Italian.
I love your van design. It's different and very well build. Thx for your video from Germany.
This dude has a talent for storytelling. He acts like a Mat Watson from carwow.
Yep mat came straight to my mind aswell
@DecoD71 all salesmen sound the same, dont you think?

What a talent this camper is quality
wow wow wow great job!
That's fantastic. Doing a self build is an aim I have, and what you've done is totally inspiring 👍
Well done and a friendly chap too!
I love your Van bill and I love what you said about what you would change pretty much not that much, I wish I knew you to help me with my van bill.
very beautiful very elegent just looking like wow 🤩
You've got some skills there buddy, beautiful job.
As someone who has done a couple of builds myself I can appreciate the effort to produce a result like that.
Stunning conversion….
Spot on 👍🏻 the garage area is mint.

What a fantastic conversion and great video. You’re obviously very talented 👏🏽
this thing is awesome, I will save up money to hopefully make my own one day thanks for an great video
Professional!!!!!!!.....Love your job.....
What a fantastic van! Absolutely love it! Clearly you’ve built a very high quality high spec van. Amazing 🤩
Sublime!
Probably the best and the most beautiful camper-van setup...
Priceless...
RESPECT!
My respect Errol excellent job !

Great conversion

Would love to follow a video series of your next one!

Hi,
I like your van build, simple but useable
Great work Errol , you have done an excellent job by my standards , I'm impressed thanks for sharing and greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
What a cracking van build, love it. Exterior as you say looks top notch, the length of the van with the additional power is a big plus and the interior is finished superb, Bamboo is stunning. Garage is immaculate and with lithium added would be a great self sufficient off-piste home. Great job, well done and enjoy. Thanks for sharing, its to good not to.
Love the wrap. nice combination of colors! I'm jealous
Very Talented build! Beautiful.
Beautiful build, and an entertaining tour!

Superb that mate. Clearly a very skilled man.
This would be my dream van, absolutely fantastic job 👏
What a fantastic conversion, really impressive work 👍
@@PaulSmith-yk3lc thanks 👍

Fantastic build, totally admire your ability and attention to detail. I’ve an Adria Twin 640 on a Ducato base which I think is a great looking vehicle but yours is defo up there 👏
very professional looking build, your garage is impecable!
Love Your Enthusiasm you have a new subscriber keep up the good work
Beautiful build 👍
Good morning from Mexico mate. Love it, great conversion and great video, even down to the “trauma heater”😂. Can’t wait to see it in the flesh, perhaps at the next AO!
Beautiful van Great video thanks for sharing 👍.
Really lovely. Looks perfect for our next van if you sell, certainly some inspiration. Thank you.
Hi Ashley, well I maybe selling in late August, got a holiday arranged beginning August and really want to build another so I'll keep you posted.
Agree that this is a really great layout for the important things. Normal kitchen, normal bed, normal bathroom. And from the outside it's not that obvious what's on the inside.

@@wright-adventure regarding the popup - actually, at 7:08 it is visible. i think the hinges fooled me on some other shot
Like the bed area should go induction then know gas bill and underfloor heating electric pads of the solar and rain capture filter of roof for water tanks 😊
Second person now to mention the underfloor heating I’ll look into it for the next build.
@@wright-adventure recirculating shower u guy does it with transit n you tub with disaal heater
Top job mate 👍
I love your videos! Especially your travel ones
Thankyou, I’m trying to get better at it.
surely not one of the best i've seen so far
Lovely unique van You are very talented. The finish is superb. 👌
Nice conversion
Thanks for posting the video, your van looks a great piece of kit for some fab adventures…well done and best of luck👍👍
Thank you although I think I’ve just sold it! Need to build another
Great video, Thank you. Educational
Impressive
Beautiful. Get lithium and a mobile induction hob and you have the perfect van.
Wow great job!!
Wow ! Well done!
Awesome build im very tempted I must Say
A very nice build!
Hello Errol, great video and lovely van matey

I CAN LIVE IN THERE GORGEOUS

有改善空間,尾部雙門打開後,安上支架接撑地上,加支架帳逢固定尾門,使車尾空間更大,可作浴室及活動觀景室.
Brilliant 👏 👍
Liked and subscribed!
Nice work
I am refurbing one

Or sliding unit that slides out under another to go in front of side door ?
You need a lift kit and air suspension maybe even a 4x4 system
Ignoring the quality build your camera presentation skills are amazing!! Literally a TV quality presenter
You’re too kind! Thanks for watching.

I agree about the bed making, decided for the next build to not have the fridge up high which will give more access to bed area.
Great build. And i love the graphics. Could she design them for a L2H2 ?
I would say yes, she’s great, I forgot to put a link to the wrap company, it’s gogirlsigns.co.uk. I’ll add it to the description this weekend.
@@wright-adventure is it your design ?
Could it be legally copy of my van with a little twist on my L2 van ?
Have you managed to weigh your van , as I'm wondering what excess weight capacity it's got left ??? Assuming it's maximum is 3.5 ton
Haven’t weighed it yet even fully loaded including water it pulls well and feels stable around bends.
Great design and build, although I would have to do something about the bamboo end grain!
Thanks for the comment, got to say I’m a big fan of the end grain I love all the variations in colour.
You even got the racing stripe brother
What a beautiful build.Inside and out,your van looks the bees knees.I’ve been considering doing one myself.But with next to no diy skills,i feel it’s a bit out of my reach.
Plenty of people have built campers with no experience. Lots of ‘how to’ on TH-cam. Go for it!
The way to look at it is,
-Plan it on paper
-Research
-Price materials
-Do one small bit at a time
-And it will be done.
Commitment is key.
My dad always brought us up saying "there's no such a word as can't".
-
Yep, my uncle would always say that it just a process, one step at a time and you get to the end.
Alvan Partridge!!
Nice build. Would love to know how the T5 rear seat is fixed to pass an mot. It looks like its on a wooden platform & I thought it had to be bolted directly to the floor. How is it fixed please? Any video of that part of the build?
