- Thanks a bunch for watching our new video!
We are Sam & Gabi and we converted our first van back in 2016. We wanted to drive to a Lindy Hop dance camp in Sweden and to stay there for 5 weeks. We decided to buy a van, throw a mattress in the back and go. One thing led to another and we ended up doing a full van conversion, albeit very basic!
We now travel in our 3rd camper van that we have converted and are very pleased to be able to share our journey with you and also to document it for ourselves for our own memories!

Big love from the road,

At last a dude that cuts through all the utter nonsense out there. Thank you and made our install exactly what we thought it should be.......
most welcome :)
This video was the most helpful one I have watched! Thanks so much!, especially the turn off when not needed hatch
Litterally was exactly what i needed to see cheers bro
Brill, glad it helped :)
This video was the most helpful one I have watched! Thanks so much!
This is great! Are there any important changes from if it’s a underslung tank please ?
You seem to know the best method so far me watching videos.
SUPER helpful, thanks!!!!
I got a catering trailer do I use 15 mm gas pipe thanks
Perfect gas
Brilliant job mate appreciate you taking time to make it. Very helpful 👌
Glad it helped!
Very helpful and useful. Thanks.
thank you
Outstanding video thanks , I have separate oven and hob do I need two separate supplies back to the gas locker or a double cut off valve with one supply please ?
Great video, thanks
Nice one cheers
No worries
Looks like you are now "cookin' with gas..." 👍
haha exactly!
Really helpful thank
most welcome
Hello, what kind of draft excluder would be appropriate?
Great video thank you. Can I ask does the copper pipe have to run externally ie not hidden behind the van walls ?
practically, I never would have any joins behind a wall and an engineer would probably have to clarify that by seeing the whole pipe...but that's just a guess
Certainly known what you’re doing 🤙
Learning on the job for sure :)
Thanks. Very helpful. Is there anywhere (eg Europe) where it's necessary for the access to the gas locker to be from the outside?
I have no idea but if your van is from UK, i assume it only has to conform to UK rules.
Is there any rules about fitting gas box near electrics? I have electrics by wheel arch and wanted gas bottle cupboard at the back by the doors with cable above the electrics?
In theory, the gas is totally isolated when it is the sealed gas locker so there shouldn't be any issues. Just don't run any cables through the gas locker :)
Thank you so much for this. Just about to hire out mine and realised it wasn’t quite fit for the Regs. I assume yours passed fine like this?
yep, done 4 vans now and each one gets signed off :)
Do you use gas ptfe on the olives or jointing compound?
no the only place that you use gas safe ptfe is where it was used in the video. Don`t forget to use copper olives
Could I pay you to fit mine out like this?
I know gas escape easier than liquids in my experience.
And your gas safe number is?
You don't need to be gas safe registered to instal lpg in your own vehicle,and you only need it certifying if you intend a commercial use of vehicle ie renting it out,but it is advisable to have instalation checked by a gas safe engineer.
exactly right @ktd2956
