    You kept saying you don't know what you're doing, but you're doing an awesome job.. I have a bare metal Caddy and am truly clueless but your videos have taught me so much already. New subscriber. I'm actually shocked you haven't got more subscribers, yours are some of the best amateur Caddy videos on TH-cam. I'm not going to watch a Dan Chambers video as a novice and be able to use it as a tutorial, but these are follow able. Top work!

    Great job mate, enjoyed watching your video. Going to do the same with my berlingo van 👍

    Check your rear doors on the inside, there is always water ingress from the outside. (Lock, windscreen wipers, etc.) That's why there are holes at the bottom that the water can drain off. You've blocked the path with insulating material and the trapped water is causing corrosion. Affects all doors.

      So what do you do not insulate the doors?

    nice job there, reckon you couldve benefitted from some more thermal insulation taped to the roof, since the roof liner leaves a big old gapit could help fill, but good work

    Have a look for a maypole awning light - work great as a task light when working in the van, rechargeable, two light modes and magnetic mount. Also the strip light cob led rechargeable head torches are also a game changer

    Tip on getting the holes flat; use a countersink drill bit. Takes 2 secs and keeps it nice and even.
