- VW T6.1 DIY campervan conversion. Follow along with this van build series as I convert a commercial van in to a cool camper van FOOKIN PUTIN
alright campervanners. Anyone else reading the news and feeling powerless to help. Well here’s a couple of charities that are worthwhile donating to. Either click the link or just Google the charity name and donate summat, even if it’s only a couple of quid it’s gotta be better than nowt right?
bit.ly/decorguk
dec.org.uk Donate to this charity and the UK government will match your donation. So you can get the government to send some of that fuel tax that you're currently having to pay to the Ukraine, hows that for Karma! DEC is made up from 15 humanitarian charities including the Red cross and save the children

UNICEF are a childrens charity that are on the ground helping the children and parents of Ukraine with clean water, food and life saving supplies

I've created bitly links as the web address was too long, obviously there is nothing in it for me other than not feeling totally helpless. Gonna get my bed in today but first I need to get some flooring down

Brilliant buddy, i'm at the same stage ur at with the RnR Bed and that door idea it fantastic and quirky....
My missus actually thought you trapped you fingers at first lol
Love your humour, don’t eat them carrots! Great work as always. Looking forward to the next instalment. Have a great weekend.
Cheers Simon
Another great video mate 👍🏴
The best van build videos everrrrrr.
Taaaaa
Bloody awesome build. Well done Karl.
Actually laughed out loud at the hand trap moment, fantastic
Hard plastic flooring, bad idea in cold Britain, carpet much better. Had our £5 carpet down 8 years and all's well. I boxed in under the bed and access the storage lifting the seat, means you don't need to crawl. Either side I left open, folding chairs one side custom made litter bin box nearside.
The humour gets better the further into the build you go, great work . well done
Glad you enjoyed it
@@KBeadle Have I missed a couple of videos?, not seen you for a while.
Brilliant as usual Karl....👍
You work is top class, you have a good idea for everything in the build 👌
G'day Karl good job mate the bed/chair looks like it's very good quality. Loved the fingers court in that bracket, but it was good how you fixed it. Regards John
😁 top job mate 😊👍
you'r so good cant' wait for the next one
Cracking stuff dude!
Lovely job especially on the bed & panels underneath. I’ve same bed & fab idea re-working it that would be such a help if I could have that.
Bed company should maybe think of adding to frames. Great vid 👍🏻😁
Another great video Karl. I hope the RNR bed manufacturers address the potential safety flaw in the bed. Looking forward to the next one.
especially as its such an easy fix
2:11: spilled my coffee!
another funny but informative vid karl
hi karl i have stumbled across your videos and i will say you have made me smile they are great !!!!!
Are you a carpenter by trade or just one of those very handy men that turns his hand to anything ..
Anyway well done a pleasure to watch you work.
I ran my own kitchen and bathroom fitting company for nearly 20 years
Inspiring Karl, gives me confidence to tackle more DIY jobs at home. Although I realise how important the thinking/planning stage is prior to starting the job, I drive myself mad, as it normally takes so long for me to start the job, I rush in to get it done and then drive myself even more mad by getting it wrong! Life lesson somewhere in there?
although it doesn't matter how much planning you do, it will still go wrong at some point!
Well I’ve just spent 3 hours in a&e this morning after smashing my little finger to bits on a lovely streamline bed. Absolute shocking design. Sort it out streamline.
Going to have to take it to a shop and get a welder on it.
I laughed when I watched this video weeks ago and now it’s got me.
Carrots everywhere.
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍
Check out fabworx beds mate none of them legs rubbish
Now you have changed the number of seats in the van do you have to have it MOT’d again or have it tested? Great vids love the van.
Hey bud, great vid, are those your real fingers injured shock horror!!! anyways wanted to ask, im at the point of fitting my rock and roll, in short wheel base transit, is there any particular position it needs to be in, eg, i have it far back as possible so i can still get in the fridge with the bed out, and the back doors can still shut and just about get the latch that holds the nearside rear door locked open, back passed the side of the chair when upright. If you dont mind helping of course. many thanks
not really just have make sure none of the bolt holes come through the floor and not inside the chassis box rails
Really enjoying your videos Karl. I'm sure you've had this question before, but do you have an opinion on M1 tested vs non tested beds like the one you fitted?
Hi Karl, loving your work. You have come up with some brilliant ideas. Can I ask how many sheets of ply do you typically use?
3 for the furniture and 2 for the floor
@@KBeadle Thank you 😊
Just stumbled on this after getting my full width streamline bed. Brilliant ideas, where did you get those brackets for fixing the front bed panel? Been looking for ages!!
Just made them from some aluminium strip
I seriously want this guy to convert my boxer
well if you've got the money! www.trekarcamperconversions.com/
Hi
Do you screw your steel frame down after you have insulated the floor so it goes through the pir boards,
Yes it goes through the ply insulation and the metal floor and then it’s bolted underneath
@@KBeadle thank you
sorry to bother you, i'm just wondering what the song is at around 6:31 and in the outro
Do you have a link to the flooring tiles?
Google karndean flooring
You made it look so easy 😂 Can a child seat be fitted in that seat??
Don’t know really. I’ve never used one
Think worth looking into possibility to child seat fitting if even want to carry a child passenger
May I ask Karl ? To what is the bed secured under the van
It’s bolted through some thick steel plates
@@KBeadle ? Is the plate supplied by the bed manufacturer
@@howardtennant5766 yes
@@KBeadle What size bolts and how thick are the steel plates? Thanks
🤣👍❤️🇮🇪
Don't just use them in shops.
