- Just a little update of where I'm up to on the 'Mega Van Project'..
I'll give you a clue... 'No where near where I wanted to be!' haha!!
But I'm realising these things take time... and it is starting to take shape.. slowly!!
This update is really for all the guys that messaged me...
I did want to do a better update but ran out of time... sorry!
It will give you a bit of an idea though! :)

Back in the old days I had 2 friends with VW Westfalias. One had the fridge blocking the door, the other had the fridge on the other side behind the driver. The general consensus was it was nice to have a the fridge not blocking the door. Looks like a fun project though!
yep.. the plan is to have it in the middle so should be alright. But will play around with a few designs before finalising.
Nice...Vans are full of possibilities!
One bit of advice regarding the solar panel - I suggest that you add a small air diverter at the front edge to minimise any wind getting under the panel and possibly ripping it off.
I'll look in to that... like I said I've done this method on smaller panels with no problem. But this is a lot bigger panel so I think I need to look into it! cheers
Van is looking good. It'll get there ;)
Having the engine Remapped makes a big difference too, my T5 goes like a rocket ship. Webasto, Erbespacher and Planar heaters are excellent.
Ben, any update on the van conversion? would love to see the progress!
Good job! Table leg rocks!
Great vid!
Try to pull out the fridge to the front side not to the inner and outer side.... You can reach it from both, inside and outside and the installation should be easier.... saw this solution in other vans... Anyway... good job! and please let me know the sticking isolation material inside... looks interesting. BR Michael

Thats the link to the stuff I got in the end... like I say I didn't use it for the main van. I used the 'KingsSpan' foam... but this stuff seemed super easy to work with... and would save you a lot of time. The 'r' value isn't as good... and coast more but sooooooo easy it to fit!
on the fridge.. I don't have enough space to do it that way.. but I have an idea. :)
Crazy :) van is definitely a next level in windsurfing :)
Tnx for the tips.. ducato maxi is my dream van. I hope I get it one day and build a camper van in it :)
More of this please!
Cool video, hope to see it finished in March!!!
Santiago Luraschi it won’t be finished in March.. I’ll be starting again in March! 😁

Just rent your gear at some surf school where you’re going dude! Just kidding. Thanks, have fun. (Have a look at Greg Virgoe’s TH-cam channel about van conversion.) edit.....see you found him.
Hi Ben. Continue the good work! Next year I will be studying in the UK and the cold weather will not stop me. Can you pls tell me the range of wetsuits you are using in the UK. Thanks a lot
