Looks good

[@mohammedfaher4013]

You made it simple and efficient.

[@susannelson829]

Such a good design and great job one downer is the quality of wood/paper cabinets. I would switch out immediately. Could have saved on plastic trim too.

[@TheRichMaxwellChannel]

Looks great! Just started my Vivaro conversion this weekend, hoping to do similar layout and bed.

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Good luck

R&R is best 1.2m wide, .we have never run out of storage, but access could be better, but then again we have more leg room. 4 can travel and eat together at the table. Also the missus can sit down to cook. I see the main advantage of yours being the large amount of accessible storage and I guess a Portapotti is possible.

conversion looks great but I have to pick up on something. A bit of shade on a solar panel doesnt knock the whole thing out. That only happens if you have several panels wired in series. If one of the panels then gets shaded, all the panels cease generating energy. Ive been parked under branches in Viv and her two panels ( wired in parallell ) still continued to generate energy.

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

I didn't mean it turns the power off completely, but it does significantly reduce the output if there is shade on a panel

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

@@TheCampervanBuilder good point :) cracking work on the Vivaro though.

[@CHRIS1887]

very nice video! do you have the measurements for the cealing cover? =)

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

No, sorry

[@robmcpherson1616]

Lovely job where did you get the final floor covering and what make is it
Regards Rob

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

It is Altro safety flooring, freely available on eBay or your local flooring suppliers (just don't get lino, thats too thin and flimsy)

@@TheCampervanBuilder thank you so much I am working on a Renault master

[@andrewwhetton7]

Hi just watching your excellent video .. do you do conversions for people as i woukd be intersed ?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

I usually only do my own conversions, I've tried doing it for someone else once and it caused more hassle than it was worth

[@andrewwhetton7]

@@TheCampervanBuilder well when I’m in the market for one I’ll have a look to see if you’re selling any

[@StokeKoiAdventures]

Do you make cabinets, looking at the back ones and over job ones

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

I make all my own cabinets and units from scratch to ft whatever van I'm converting at the time, check my channel for lots more cabinet / kitchen builds

Thanks 👍

[@kevinjones4942]

Hi, Once you carpeted the side panels and roof, How did you fasten them to the metal?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

screwed to the internal metal frame, check the videos on my channel, I have dedicated videos for each step of the conversion including the carpeting

[@jcbeats_edits]

How thick is the kingspan mate?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

generally a mix of 25 & 50mm, as think as can be squeezed in
