  • Micro Camper Re-Fit part 2. Here I make the slide out bed in this micro camper van conversion. The Van bed is all important and here I make the slide out in two sections so it is easy to use. I enjoyed this micro camper build

    I love the way Dave explains and demonstrates what is working with without wasting a lot of time.

    I'm so glad I asked you to change the interior of my connect Dave. I can now get to everything with much more ease than previously. The area above the cab is now my storage for the bedding which leaves ample room for other items in the masses of storage you have created for me. Even in full bed mode I have a place to sit on the edge of the bed with my feet on the floor which really helps with getting dressed in the mornings, I can't wait for the next project and I urge viewers to share and share your builds. Lets get you to 5000 subs before the end of the year, you deserve to be up there with the greats. Thanks again from one happy chap!

      Thanks a lot Chris, I'm glad you asked me to do the re-fit it was a great project to work on. And that the van is now better for you and easier to use is great to hear. Hope you have many happy adventures in it. 5k subs sounds good too.

    What a transformation Dave! Great job! So much more space and fine joinery if I may say so myself as a joiner. Wish I had seen this before I bought my own connect. I'm happy with mine but you've given me a few more ideas. Thanks Dave, now subscribed.

    beautiful job Dave, it seems to have made the van bigger and brighter. I'm sure the owner will be delighted with the transformation. And well done for hitting the 1000 subscribers. Just fitted the rear windows in ours today, I'm done in now... my nerves can't cope with such a thing!

    • @dave-watson
      @dave-watson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Lisa, the van is much lighter and more usable space, it was a good little project. I know what you mean about fitting windows, I was terrified on the first one I did. Hope it all works out well. And yes, 1000 subs and climbing.

      Thanks a lot. I should have a new van to work on soon, until then I might video some hiking, or cake making or singing. Lets hope the van arrives soon.

    Dave yes I am impressed by both your work and skills keep up the Great and Good Work.
    I want to build as well I have a very strange ideas for a build. I have more of a idea for a box truck build but the current price of gasoline and the current inflated price both are holding me back. I have a ruff idea for a in vehicle slide out of a multi slide out/in room for: bathroom,mud room, and a place to wash clothing. I want to build out a box truck to be used while I am a student doing earth science projects in the middle of no where. I am also looking in to do remote grazing studies and how it effects and impacts western range and grasslands.

    Nice job Dave ...no matter whether its a micro build or a bigger build ...its all about making space ...surprised your selling the Vivavo....after all your efforts in the build...sounds like you have caught the van building bug lol...

      Hi Mick, Yes I definitely have the van building bug. Great projects to work on. The next one begins as soon as I have sold the current van.. Thanks for watching

    Hi Dave, good job on the pull out slat bed and the rest of the build too! I noticed you decided against using runners and divided it into two sections making it easier to pull out which looked like a good idea and with it being a stand alone section would have meant extra frame work to attach the runners to, if you know what I mean! Looking forward to seeing your next build.

    • @dave-watson
      @dave-watson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I may try the runners on another build, a bit more complex to make. But so long as there is plenty of space between the slats the slide out beds work ok. More builds soon. Thanks Dave.

    Geeez!
    That gives me some thoughts; would you say it’s similar in size to a Vito…?🤔🤞🏻👌🏻

    • @dave-watson
      @dave-watson  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, I think the vito is quite a bit bigger than this. it's a ford connect and really compact. You should have a lot more room in a vito. Thanks for watching.

    Hey Dave, random question but do you know if the van can still go through a regular MOT after the conversion?

    • @dave-watson
      @dave-watson  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So far as I know the conversion will not affect the MOT. I had a self converted van put through an MOT earlier in the year and it was fine.

      All is well, but I'm in between vans at the moment. I'm looking for a high top Boxer or Master, I think that will make an interesting build. Thanks for asking.
