Great work! Beautiful!
I know an aircon can be pricey for vans, and them evaporative ones are 💩but we brought a portable aircon unit for fraction of the cost, we made a cut out in our van for the unit airflow tube and brought vent hole 6inch vent hood cover cap off ebay. All portable aircon exhaust tubes are 6inchs in size. when it's not in use to cover your airflow hole on the outside of the van. You wouldn't even know. You can choose a cover cap with mosquito netting or without. We made some reno adjustments to hide tubing and make box look presentable. The unit also came with a clear finger width pvc tube for the water outlet about 1m long, we feed that tube to under kitchen bench where we have a 10L container for the water catch. We just empty it once in 24hrs or as need to. We also have a remote with it. Best decision we made. Total cost was about $300. ❤ Love your renovation by the way. Check out "High Ridge Handyman" on YT, titled "Portable aircon installation Easy 1,2,3" video. That's what I followed back then. Of course I've upgraded by then by you'll get the idea.
Absolute Inspiration mate. Just got my first 1979 Viscount and looking for to my little Reno journey. Fingers crossed it turns out as beautiful at yours 😂
Wow fantastic job mate it's an amazing transformation beautiful van to go away to some amazing places in and live the dream in luxury and comfort 😀
Thanks so much David! Appreciate it mate.
You’ve done one hell of a job. The kind of caravan people would pay solid cash for that’s for sure.
Thanks Tim, feel free to make an offer 😜

Love it! Especially the Velux. I have bought a bigger pop-up skylight to put it. Just waiting for the rain to stop in the UK to fit it!
Good luck with it!
Great job
Thanks! :)
Deadset thats what I'm dealing with too, double ceilings that hide water stained old ones. Love your work.
You're kidding! Such a stitch up ay
I know, I thought I was the only one. Can I ask what type of paint you used after the griplock primer?
love it......fabulous
Thanka Kylie :)
Nice build mate! Hey one question : how's the skylight long term now it's been a year? Because I was thinking about it but I'm worried about the heat through the window into the van turning it into a sauna in summer
Nicest caravan Reno I’ve seen! That grey/green combined with the rattan and warm oak is stunning. Do you guys have a design background? I just found your channel and I’ll be watching every video right now 😂 (following from Sydney)
Hey Rebecca. Thank you! No, zero design experience, but I do really enjoy it. I'm just about to do a bunch of videos on a home I'm renovation so stay tuned for those! 😁
Hey bro, Love the production quality for a small channel! What a natural. I am also starting to make carpentry related videos with much less production quality haha. Keep it up
Hey Caleb! Thanks mate! Appreciate it. Oh really? Nice one, I'll check it out 🤙
You got a new sub bro 💯
Can currently relate to the just bought the caravan, now having a closer look sighs😅
** ahhh cant paint that*
So disappointing haha
Cool
Thanks for watching mate 👍
A great little reno! What was the before / after weight?
Do you have any details on chassis and suspension restoration?
Absolutely mint build mate, you've done well!!
Thanks legend!
Great job on the reno, wondering if you have an update on how the backsplash is holding up now it has been 2 years? I am looking to do the same in our 22ft viscount for the kitchen
Hey Rebecca. It has held up fine, zero issues.
Great work! Have you got anymore videos on the actual build?
Cheers mate! Got a couple on making the cabinet doors. I linked them in the description.
Richard Tobias
Did you build the kitchen bench tops or had them custom made. If you put them together yourself did use the 1200 x 600 x 17 mm Tasmanian Oak from Bunnings. Great build. !!
Thanks Richard. Bunnings stock always changes. At the time of purchase, Bunnings had pieces that measure 1800mm long
Beautiful! You mentioned a tutorial for making the cushion covers can you please share?
Thanks! th-cam.com/video/mMm_irFrbHQ/w-d-xo.html
Love your caravan renovation! Well done! Do you know what colour white paint you used?
Thanks Emily. I believe it was just plain white. Un-tinted, water based enamel. :)
Hi was there a problem with any asbestos’s thanks.
Hi, amazing video and transformation, well done! I am just trying to find the link you mentioned about making the cabinets and can’t find it?
Hey Louise, thanks! Both links are in the description. You can also search my channel.
th-cam.com/video/f1_li3rkIJM/w-d-xo.html
@@viking.designs thank you! Do you mind me asking please what profile oak you used for the uppers?
It's the same Tasmanian oak, 42x19mm. It's square, the slight pencil round profile was created with a trimmer.
Hey love the van where did you get your awning?
Hey Shelly. Got it online from VidaXl
"It looks fucked" 😂😂 love it
😅
Amazing build :-) ❤How big budget did you have?
Thank you. Think I spent 3-4k from memory
Wow! Incredible! What did it end up weighing once complete?
Can't remember the exact number, however it was only slightly heavier. Think an additional 50kgs or so. I removed quite a lot and was very careful with what I put back
Looks great. I’ve got a viscount ambassador that I am just embarking on converting to a mobile office. My ceiling extends beyond the overhead cupboards running the length of the van. Not sure how I can replace the ceiling without removing the cupboards. Did you encounter this problem? Cheers Mel
Hey Mel. I removed the cupboards. If you want to keep them, can you just run your ceiling into it?
Thanks Dan. Yeah, I’m going to have a crack at running the boards up to the overhead cupboards. I think I should be able to get it pretty neat. Your van looks amazing. My Velux skylight just arrived. This weekends challenge…
Do you have a link to the upholstery video you mentioned?
It's here.
th-cam.com/video/mMm_irFrbHQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice but what is the idea behind the vertical wall on the right between the bed and the bench?
I removed a cupboard from that section. Some of the old caravans from what I've read use the cupboards as structural support so I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry. Plus it creates a little more separation from the bed which I don't mind.
I see you used osmo poly for the bench tops. Do you know the sheen you used? There seems to be a few different types and I have no idea 🙄
Hey Emily. I think it was a satin finish
Have you had any problems with your splash-back? E.g grout cracking?
No, no dramas at all
How did you fit the cabinets to your caravan? Can these be screwed into the sides? Or are they glued in some way?
I screwed them off to the aluminium frame.
Inspiring video. Thanks. Are you a chippy?
You're welcome. Yep, I am.
Hey bro- did you use flat roof velux? Or pitched? Few on marketplace I've been looking at - don't want to buy the wrong sort. Chur bo!🤙🏾💯
Ayy bro. Both should work. I can't remember it was so long ago. I'm pretty sure it's intended to be on a 15 - 90° pitch. I built a timber curb to give it the desired fall
Hey mate, what size velux did you get?
My current pop up is 700x600
Hey Mitch, it's 550 X 980mm
yo man from nz, just at bunnings now what brand did you get the duck egg paint, if dulux resene etc from cheers
Hey Paul. It shouldn't matter what brand. Think we used Dulux one time, also bought it in British paints before too. Low sheen, interior
@@viking.designs legend! we on!!!!
Yiiieeeew 🤙🤙🤙
Nice job. Just wondering how much did you spend on materials to do the reno as I'm thinking of buying an old caravan to do up.
Thanks! Think I spent around 3-4K.
@@viking.designs cheers mate 👍
Hi Dan, did you completely replace the floor or where you able to just lay your flooring of choice over the existing floor?
Hey Jas. The subfloor was in good condition so I just installed the laminate floor over the top
@viking.designs awesome thanks mate, I'm thinking a out embarking on my own caravan reno, great video
@@jasongreen6834 thanks mate. yeah we were working off a solid foundation which was nice. Good luck!
Hello I’m very interested to know what u used to seal or wax ( brand and name) ur bench top? I jst brought the same wood and am wanting to do it right
It's called Osmo Poly X
Thank u so much for the reply 😁
how did you make the double bed , does it have storage underneath / thanks .
Hey Martin. I used some plywood and 90x90mm post to create a modular bed that can easily be removed if need be.
This is awesome how much did the reno roughly cost ?
Thanks Luke! Think it came in around the $4000 mark.
@@viking.designs money well spent looks great mate
Doubles nicely as a home office too! Thanks for watching mate
Do you still have the original table?
We do. We kept it as it was so cool
Wondering where your awning is from? Thank you 🙏
It was from vida xl
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Hey, what size caravan is this?
Hey Dylan, it's a 15ft
How much did you spend in total?
Think I spent around 3k on the reno
