Conversion designed and built by Dee & Simon, Wild Van Ltd.
My mind is blown! I've been looking at van conversions for months (all during covid19, blah!) and I've not seen something so beautiful for a while! I love it! It's new and innovative with the bed space at the back and the scrolling. It's making me re-think things. I love the wood and white. Love the drawers.
Absolutely beautiful
You have made a beautiful, homely yet practical little house. The curved edges of the kitchen side cupboard and box bed makes it feel like a house, rather than a car to live in. I love that you added the indentations for the fence and bed slats to keep them in place. Stacking the bench, storage, bed and more storage makes it appear spacious whilst keeping handy space for storage. I love it
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments 💜 We love finding different ways to get the most out of the space and make everything practical and comfortable!
This build is very nice !
Pretty little van ,beautiful build but without a toilet and shower inside,only useful for days out
Absolute knockout wow
Very nice, well designed, lots of function for a small space.
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it 🙏
Just got my relay , been designing it and then seen this layout and it's exactly the same as my layout design, amazing build

Charming....but 2 me a Toilet is essential...
also.prefer access 2 the cab from the back.
Leila L thanks for the comment!There’s a porta potti toilet tucked away under the bench seat, if it of interest can see some pictures on our website (link in description). We needed to keep the double bench seat in the front of this van so built in the hatch above the kitchen to allow emergency access into the cab if needed 👍 Thanks for watching 💚
Very clean and timeless build! May i know what is the name of the kitchen stove and oven?
Love it
Tony hood thanks! 🙏
This is beautiful - my new favourite van!
alana xoxo ah thank you so much, that’s very kind 💜

I was looking at formaldehyde free ply but the quote has come back quite expensive, I only want shiplap om my ceiling
You're absolutely right to avoid standard ply that contains formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals. Sleeping inside a small, heated, ply-lined box will definitely affect your health. And painting the plywood can make things even worse. When people started lining vans with plywood it was to stop their tools denting the walls.
I've gone off the idea of ply lining completely. Where there's no need for hard surfaces (ie, ~90% of the walls and ceiling) it would be simpler, cheaper and more lightweight to use vinyl-wrapped foam glued to the walls. A bit like a padded cell 😊 but the vinyl could be any colour or pattern. Leatherette, for instance. It's also fire retardant, and if you bang your head on the ceiling it won't scalp you.
Same goes for the floor. You don't need to put a layer of insulation, then a layer or ply, then a layer of flooring. Simply lay the flooring directly on top of rigid foam insulation. And if you use industrial vinyl flooring (5~6mm thick) it's lightweight, warm, soft enough to kneel on and completely weather proof. You could even spill oil on it and it would clean up nicely.
Making a van 'homely' shouldn't be confused with making a van house-like. It just needs to be warm, comfortable, look nice and ideally be lightweight and not cost the Earth, both financially and in resources.
I forgot to mention that it's also sound absorbing, so you can watch a movie at night, listen to music or indulge in marital arts without anyone outside hearing a peep. Although it won't stop the van from rocking. 😉
👏🏽👏🏽☺️
How much would this exact conversion cost?
Hi Joe, thanks for watching! We've just sent you an email with more info about our conversion costs.
@@wildvanconversions Oh brilliant! What email account was it so you know as can't see anything at the minute?
Joe Marano ah sorry! It was to joemoranophotography@outlook.com Sometimes our emails end up going to spam so could be in there! Let us know if you want us to forward it on to another address 👍
@@wildvanconversions No nothing there although Marano is with an a maybe that's the reason? :)
@@wildvanconversions Worst case alig_90@email.com but joemaranophotography@outlook.com should be fine :)
Clean where's the toilet
Improving Every Day it’s tucked away under the bench seat. There’s some more detailed pics over on our website if you’re interested to see more 👍 wildvan.com/citroen-relay-live-in-motor-home-conversion/
How did you stick the wall panels up , cant see screw holes is it ply ?
Yes we used ply for the walls - held on with a combination of discreetly hidden screws behind furniture and in some places nailed on to wooden battens that we'd glued to the metalwork. We then filled the holes and sanded everything back before applying acrylic primer and several coats of paint. Quite a long process but we think it's worth it for the seamless finish!
@@wildvanconversions thanks for the reply, I am from gosport and may ask you to fit a heater for me
Horizon Detect no problem. That’s certainly something we’d be happy to help with. Our email is info@wildvan.com if you’d like to chat about it further. Thanks, Simon & Dee
It's a very pretty van but having things like a heavy ceramic sink is just silly. Everything should be as lightweight as possible.
