- In this video we'll be showing you how we opted to finish off the over cab storage area of our campervan. Despite our initial reservations it turned out to be a cheap and cheerful solution that was highly effective!

So WHO are WE? We’re Scarlett, Craig and Merlin and along with Helsing, form the PILGRIM PODS!
If you enjoy this video why not check out some of our other content? Delve even deeper into our channel; we thought we’d create a series of vlogs chronicling the conversion of our old panel van HELSING (did you see what we did there?) into a weekend warrioring campervan for ADVENTURING and EXPLORING in the UK.
Each vlog will cover a stage or smaller element of our campervan build, showing our ideas put into action and highlighting our SUCCESSES and FAILURES along the way. With no previous experience this may make for an interesting journey! Our plan is to convert a cheap van on a small budget without cutting corners and at the end, have a campervan to be proud of. We’re hoping you’d like to join us for this journey and that you find our uploads ENTERTAINING and even, INFORMATIVE!

Looks great! Extra bonus points for “I appreciate it won’t be everyones cup of tea, it’s a coffee bean sack” 🤣
Your comment has just made my day! After editing Scarlett has a good nose to make sure I haven't missed anything and that it looks as good as we are capable of making it. I thought that bit of the video was funny but then again I'm the kinda person who laughs at their own jokes... 😆 Scarl mentioned that bit might be worth cutting but I stuck to my guns, dug my heels in and now your comment has justified and rewarded me. Thanks! 😀🙌
Haha had me laughing good 1
So it so good to see someone do a job well without any waffle. Great video. Hope you spent some time throwing ball with Merlin. x
Thanks! He does love a ball!
I thought king Arthur died in The last kingdom, looks like he left to make a campervan 😜on a serious note mate, love the content and cant wait for more uploads👍👍👍
King Arthur is a new one on me, and I'll happily take it! 😄 Thanks for taking the time to check out our videos. 🙂🍻
@@PilgrimPods Alway got time to check out your content, loving it so far mate👍👍
Cheers for the tips! Thanks for taking the tike to
Make these
Thanks for taking the time to watch them mate. 🙂👍
To most people that area would have been out of sight out of mind. Great job well done.
Hey Robert, that's exactly why we wanted to get that area finished before tackling finishing the rest of the van off. If we'd left it until the end the likelihood is it would have been left as is. As always, thanks for swinging by. 🙂👍
Truly inspiring good for you guys
I’m loving the way you are fitting the van out Craig, it’s definitely going to be an eclectic mix of designs and ideas but personally... I think it’s absolutely brilliant! 😎👍✅✅✅
Thanks Andrew! Cheap, cheerful and functional is the order of the day but if it turns out looking half decent too that'll be a bonus. We just want it finished and some normality in the world so we can get out there start exploring and living a bit more. 🙂👌
Brilliant idea & job!
Thanks Mark! Turned out alright in the end we think. 🙂👍
Well done 👍 another excellent job, looking forward to your next video
Thanks both, and thanks for taking the time to watch our build journey. 🙂👍
Spot on job mate
Cheers Richard! 😁🍻
Nicely done and very useful
Thanks Richard, cheers! 🙂🍻
looks great guys
Thanks again Lee. 🙂🍻
Great idea with the coffee sack. I may have a go with that on my new build. Thanks. Love the puns too, keep em coming.
Cheers Carl! 😊🍻
Love watching your videos Craig, still waiting to start properly on my own van, but getting great ideas from you.
Thanks Francis, glad our ideas are at least giving one person some food for thought! If you get your bed in you can at least get out there on some mini adventures. 🙂👍
great job as always Craig..
Cheers Wayne! 🙂🍻
I've been binge watching your conversion, your van is looking fantastic! love merlin 😍🤗
Thanks JM, appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos. 🙂👍 Merlin's alright... 😁
Loving the creativity of this build. Can't wait to get my hands on a build and turn my hand to a campervan conversion.
Thanks again bud, we seem to have spent just as long watching videos in preparation for doing our own as actually working on the van. Best of luck with your own conversion! 🙂👍
Thanks for posting this - been trying to drum up some enthusiasm to sort ours out and this has definitely done the trick! 👍🏼
Glad it helped!
Looks really great👌
Hey Craig, cheers mate. 🙂🍻
Good job Craig.
Cheers Henry! 🙂🍻
Bang on as always Craig, You have done a fantastic job so far mate 👌🏻👍🏻
Cheers Ash, started covering the walls now and hopefully it'll come together quickly now so we can get out in it in the autumn. 🙂🍻
Fantastic job...I went with the, as stated below "out of sight, out of mind" option. I managed to sound proof and insulate it...just and it would have been so much easier with 6ft arms! ...can always add a facia later, but by the time it's full of stuff, let's wait and see. Like you, trying to get it finished before the end of lockdown! Great vid, regards Mick
Hey Mick, long arms do help! 😀 Yeah, if we'd left it to one of the last jobs we probably would never have gotten around to it so that's why we decided to get it out of the way now. Like you say, there's no reason why you can't tackle it later on but once the world opens up to us and we can get out there and start adventuring I reckon over cab storage finishing will be the last thing on your mind when there are memories to be made! Best of luck getting your own van finished mate. 🙂👍
Done a great job there mate! Wish I’d done as good a job as you! Well done 👍👏
Cheers Max. Nowt wrong with your over cab storage cupboard, it looks great mate. 🙂👍
looks good
Cheers Stan! 🙂🍻
Nice job
Cheers Michael! 🙂🍻
You have some weird and wacky ideas but i've got to say it's looking good. I'm enjoying your series and looking forward to seeing the finished camper. Well done so far.
Hey Malcolm and thanks! The ceiling and the fascia were Scarlett's ideas and I have to admit at the time I had my reservations but as always I think she got both bang on. I'll be happy once the campervan is complete so we can get out there and start creating some memories. Cheap, cheerful and functional is the name of the game and if it looks half decent once finished that'll be a bonus. Thanks for following along. 🙂👍
Really nice, dead impressed you managed to do that without removing the shelf. I'm doing this job now. I'm wrestling with the idea of removing the shelf completely to get to some camera wiring and then insulate. It's such a faff to do that though.
Hey mate, yeah... I thought about removing the shelf as well but as you can see opted against in the end. It was a bit fiddly to carpet but no real hardship. We fed our reversing camera cable behind the dash under the plastic trim of the passenger footwell and up the pillar behind the seat which was a nice little route. Now, if your talking about security cameras I think that's something that we definitely need to give a bit of thought. Hope you and yours are well. 🙂👍
i cut my template 4 times! using different thicknesses of board along the way. buy yes using a wooden template definately helped get all those shapes cut to near on. ps like the ooh matron clip lol! well done
Hey Toni, what works for us works for us eh! As long as we get there in the end does it really matter how we do it? 🤔😁 Yeah... there were a lot of Carry On films on this weekend for inspiration. 😂🙌
Looking great are you sure you haven't done all this before or is it just good editing 😆👍👌
Cheers Darren! 🙂🍻 It's 60% staring into empty space with a vacant expression trying to figure out what I'm doing, 30% actually doing and 10% editing I reckon! 😂🙌
Love it
Thanks Anthony! 😊👍
I started this task last week and I wanted to remove the shelf in my Renault master I managed to get the frond screws lose but it was still stuck stuck in the frond on the cabin lighting or not sure but I didn’t want to mess anything up... so I left it in. I did put some reflectives and some isolation but was lost on have to close the gaps and make it some what decent... you gave me some good inspiration! I already did my walls. I put up some light weight tongue and groove. I’ll be looking forward to what you do!
Glad this video has helped you a little. We'll probably end up cladding sections of our van too. Great minds think alike An! All the best and good luck finishing your own build. 🙂👍
I'm following nearly all your videos as I slowly convert my own 17 seater minibus! Can I ask how much carpet you needed to line your van? I have virtually the same type. Too much maths for me to work out!!
All very individual and personal, looks good. Very meticulous.
Thank again! We're not trying to reinvent the wheel when building our camper but if we can build it to our aesthetic tastes and to a relatively cheap budget we will have accomplished our mission. 👍
looks great Craig but i've got to ask is the hair staying?
Hey mate, hope you're all well. Thanks for checking me out plodding along building this camper! 😆 Scarl has told me the hair really needs to go now as it's a right state. Me, I'm kinda digging the vagabond look. 🤔😀
You never mention the model of van you have???
