      @@andrewlewis7267 Hi Buddy, thanks for your offer, most appreciated. I would like to know the details of the RnR bed and the furniture. Im looking at all the options from self design and build to building flat packs. I also had the same idea with floor tiles as you. Great for creating a bit of a look and relatively inexpensive. Cheers chap.
      mine is LWB and twin sliding door, bit of a rare one really.

    Nice conversion. Good to see you put in insulation. Did you buy the furniture as a kit? I converted my 2014 Renault Trafic LWB van into a Touring Van. I have started making videos for TH-cam. If you are going to watch it I will appreciate comments from a fellow van converter. It is nice to see other people's ideas. Enjoy using the campervan..

    Nice, just needed the gas bottle in a special airtight cupboard with a floor hole in case it leaks? Having it in and open cupboard with electric in there is not a good idea?

    What is the cage/bars behind the drivers seat called? Is this a standard option in vans without cab walls?

      @andrewlewis7267  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi the cage bar for the driver seat is standard if you don't have a bulkhead it was in the van when I purchased it

    Hi was this mpv? I need the trim pannels on the b pillar and roof. My van had a bulk head annoyingly so the trim is missing on the edge 😔

    Hey I don’t know if you can help but I’ve got the same van that I’m converting to!
    How do I remove the cargo area light or change it to a different light and so that it doesn’t turn on wen I open the doors, only to come on if I choose. Hopefully u can help x

    • @andrewlewis7267
      @andrewlewis7267  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Healey the lights I used have built in switches and I wired them to my auxiliary battery and through my fuse box so I can switch them on manually I isolated the wiring from the doors so it doesn't drain the main battery I hope that helps you

    • @HayleyRobinsonhale
      @HayleyRobinsonhale 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      andrew lewis thanks for replying :)
      How do you isolate the wiring? I saw a video on a man disconnecting the wire and he just unplugged the light wire from the main cable. I presume that’s fine?

    • @andrewlewis7267
      @andrewlewis7267  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Haley yes just disconnect the intior light and tape it out of the way all my lights inside run off the auxiliary battery so I don't worry about the main battery discharging hope that helps, kindregards Lewi
