  • In this van conversion Adam provides us with a great construction method giving the flexibility of use to the van. We take a look around his Vauxhall Movano van conversion.

    Very well thought out Campervan
    Many people will be ordering cabinets to be made me thinks
    But great example that Campervans don't need to be expensive to build out just practical to suit each person's individual needs
    But carpentry skills will be useful for those who car camp etc that want to have a bed built in a car etc

    Guys zI had no idea that VAUXHALL made something that large for a van, they used to male large trucks/ busses & military lorries, back in the day,,a most popular car was the VELOX, ,, I knew a man in JAMAICA BWI , whom lost his left arm in a mill, so he had one built in AUSTRALIA where ALL THE CONTROLS WERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE., Cheers from NJ USA

    Did you manage to get how to convert the main interior lights to LED from Adam, I would love to do it, also I have purchased the extending bars from Ikea many thanks to Adam for the fantastic idea 👍 works a treat😊😊

    • @CampervanTales
      @CampervanTales  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We didn't convert them in the end. We already have other LED's that we fitted butcto be honest we don't even use those any more. We use three lights that we bought from Amazon that are rechargeable and also work as power packs. We find they last for ages and have three different brightness settings. They are also magnetic, so we can use them outside the van if we want. We do like Adam's conversion. Thanks for watching.👍😀

    • @CampervanTales
      @CampervanTales  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure there is a group. We just organised a meet up for people who watch the channel and quite a few had ambo conversions. We held this up in the Peak District last May. We might have another meet up next year, if we do we will advertise it on the channel and on our Facebook page.
      There are so many interpretations and good ideas in different ones.
