    What a lovely conversion, you've really thought out how to fit everything in yet not compromise on space, I've watch other people build van conversions and must say yours looks to be one of the best I've seen.

      I think it came out so good thanks to the size of the van also. They didn’t sacrifice a thing. All was made very nice.🎉

    I’ve just bought a 2019 LWB Crafter which myself and my dad are going to convert. The lay out I have in mind is very similar to yours however I’m not re-thinking it after seeing your build. My plan was to have a double bed lower down probably just above wheel arches and retractable double top bunk. When not in use the bunk will just look like a fixed single bunk but will extend out to a double. I’ve so glad I have found this video as I was a little unsure about some of the plans I had including the Truma combi boiler and the maxxair skylight fan and the dome fan in the toilet. Brilliant build guy's, if mine comes out anything like this I’ll be over the moon!

    You’ve done your homework and put a lot of thought into it. I impulse bought a 2 year old sprinter conversion and thankfully it’s got loads of the same stuff you have. Not sure where you are
    Now but the weather looks great. Just done 2 weeks in Scotland and had the the Truma heater on everyday.

      Really interesting the way you have worked out the best configuration for the four of you. I know its not easy when talking to camera having to remember all you want to articulate with a smooth flow , but I have to give it to you both , 10 out of 10 for the very informative vid.
      Safe driving..

    Facing the oven that way is an excellent idea. Not only for space but safety. I see too many vans with the oven next to the bed for goodness sake! Otherwise great build. We'll done indeed.

    Great conversion guys, For a self build the workmanship looks really good. Made me laugh about the Orange tool box. Being a grease monkey myself trying to whittle down your tools to go in a small tool box, can see it now. yes that one nah not that one & so forth. 😉👍

    Hello, nice video, I have a question: through which part of the engine do you route your wiring to connect to the auxiliary battery in the trunk? Thanks, I’m going to have the same Crafter as you. 🤠

  • @marshy1950
    @marshy1950 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, I've watched lots of videos from the van builders and I think you might have thought of a few ideas that might interest them. I like the toilet aroma outlet and the diagonally laid 'wood' on the rear doors. You've thought out the 90°rotation on the cooker really well. I like how you've separated the living area from the bedrooms, apart from your son's bed, that is. You got a really fantastic one-off van and I think it's great! Are you planning to work whilst you're traveling? How long do you home-school for each day? Thanks for another excellent - I'll be calling you Bill and Ted next!! - vlog!

  • @hanbizful
