These conversions are the best that I’ve seen in all my obsessive TH-cam viewing! Love that this owner opted for something with a little more personality and a bit more contemporary than the well-trodden new farmhouse style.
Your vans are always extremely professional, you've hit the sweet spot with what you produce. Nearing the end of my own build and could only dream of emulating what you guys do.
Hi guys, We making a sprinter conversion based on your Stacia model, (best I’ve ever seen). We have a Thetford triplex but want it under the worktop like you have it in Kunu. Can you do a video on how to fit your worktops with the cooker and sink under the worktop? Or maybe explain how if it’s easier? I’ve notice you do it like this in a few of your models and thinks it’s brilliant. We have a walnut worktop (27mm). Is a jigsaw ok to use on it? Or what would your recommend? Thanks again for some amazing inspiration. Looking forward to the next video. Regards Karen
Thank you for sharing your excellent, high-quality projects and ideas! I hope you are still replying to comments for this 11-16-2021 video. I am curious about your "vandebar" (sp?) pull-up bar (at time frame 6:35). I had a similar idea in mind (but a bit more extensive), and am wondering if you bolted your support sleeve tube to the roof (likely via collar brackets?), or welded it, or both. My welder says welding alone will not hold my full body weight plus pull-up force. So -- if you did bolt your sleeve tube to / through the roof, did you also reinforce the interior of the roof with a form-fitted steel plate? Just trying to narrow down what actually works and will last for daily workouts while full-time RV'ing. Thanks again for sharing your work, and for any reply (hopeful).
great craftsmanship, and you guys are lovely , just hope to have the video let us see more of the van and all of the features, windows etc more videos if you can please, x
Can you give more details on the "vanderbar": materials and install? I'm trying to figure out how to build my "van gym" and this looks like a great component!
i mean this should be the default setup for all vans....all you need.....swivel seats, laptop desk, shower, bed...i hope it is 2 metre length and kitchen....what else you need?
Hi guys another great looking van, I’ve watched all of your vids I think including the panel wall build guide using 9mm grooved ply, can I ask if you use the same technique and material (9mm) for the rear and side opening doors as well, if so how do you fix these, do you use shelf taping screws straight through the metalwork? Many thanks for any info, cheers
Hello Scott, thank you for the kind words and support. On the doors we go slightly thinner and use 6mm poplar plywood. Where the window’s are boxed in We glue and screw battens on the back face to provide structure for the windowsill and boxing in to be fixed into. The door panels are screwed into the hollow metal areas of the door with self tapping screws and we cover these screws with screw caps so that the panels are completely removable (in case you ever need to get to the locking mechanism for repairs etc). We hope this helps Thanks again
I have 3 dog we all love hiking and the beach would need to have shower and toilet a massive fridge freezer and a full cooker and hob as I love to cook a traditional roast dinner wanting to have seating area to eat and also outside shower area also attachment rail to add extra space and also would love two hammock rails so that I can have a large or two seating hammocks also need to have space for extra person maybe the dinning area to change into a bed but fixed bed in the back thinking of getting a sprinter not sure what can I’ll need
Hi absolutely fantastic design and attention to detail ! We are currently doing our own self build Fiat ducato - could you explain how you drop the triplex oven down to enable it to be under mounted ? Also we are really struggling on covering awkward bulk head pillars ? Do you template these and instal plywood ? Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you, We install it into the kitchen unit and then add the worktop on top. We cut out a section so that it can hinge up and add ventilation holes to ensure this isnt covered. Yes they are tricky, we box them in but a simpler option would be to carpet them
Love your vans they are great do you have a design for 2 single beds as I am now a disabled passenger and can't use a raised bed so my husband and I are thinking single beds might be a good option?
Thank you, we don't unfortunately have 2 single beds but we are releasing a dinette style bed in the next few weeks on our website in which the bed will be at seat level rather than high up. Let me know if you want any more info
@@vanlifeconversions oooh awesome. I was going to build one to attach to my unistrut roof channel but didn’t want to compromise the roof seals by constantly putting weight on it. Be interesting to see how you did it.
@@vanlifeconversions did you end up making this video? I'm searching your channel but I don't see it. I feel that this is a necessity so if you have any additional info, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hey, guys cracking job. Liked everything about that van and im super picky!! Just wondering how you mounted the housing or the pull up bar? thanks j
Hi guys, just amazed at how gorgeous this is. Are they tiles or cladding in the kitchen? Where from? They really make the kitchen x

Hi just wondering where you purchased your double chair swivel base? I am converting a Ducato here in Australia and I'd love to get one for my van
they look great, but the mileage guys with all that weight....very skeptic
How did you do the pullup bar - hammock thing?
What is the brand of the overhead cabinet hinges?

What is the pull up bar/hammock mount please?
It was custom made for this conversion but we will be releasing a video on how we made it/potentially releasing it to buy soon!
@@vanlifeconversions oooh awesome. I was going to build one to attach to my unistrut roof channel but didn’t want to compromise the roof seals by constantly putting weight on it. Be interesting to see how you did it.
@@vanlifeconversions Very keen to see/buy this!

How can I contact you to do a conversation for me ?
Hi Thanks for your interest, email us at oli@vanlifeconversions.co.uk. It would be great to discuss your conversion plans!
