Brilliant ideas. Well done you thought of everything and on a budget. Fantasic.
Thank you. I've got some improvement ideas but I will execute them and do an update video. Thanks for watching.
Loved the vid. Lots of inspiration and great ideas. Looking forward to following your travels
Very well done, looks great , best of luck with it
Beautiful van conversion, simple and very cosy with all that wood, one of my favorite van conversion videos on YT !!
Thank you Erik!
Looks great...love it...all you need...what I like is how neat and tidy everything is..also big advantage for access that both side doors open..
Thanks Ray, kind words. Yes the 2 sliding doors are great. In summer you open both and the back doors and it brings the whole world into your van.
This is absolute quality. Love your conversion. It looks great quality but easy and cheap enough to be actually achievable. Great work.
Thank you!
Great video really inspiring thanks look forward to seeing you on the open road
That is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Absolutely love it, camping in style ❤
Fantastic and functional. Everything you need with no fancy stuff but far from simple. Great build :)
Thank you.
Fantastic. I love these home builds. I’d love one, van is just the right size to be able to use everyday too. Surprised at how much it was to convert as well! Great work!
Thank you Nadine :)
Looks fantastic ! 👍 I used to have the same van for my work, best van I've ever had it never let me down. Happy travels 👍

Thank you!
Love the design of your van. Small and really practical
Thank you.
Great little van. Loved the upload. ATB
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, food for thought
I love the simple low budget solutions, someday I'm going to do this. I currently use the back of my Vectra estate with a few simple mods,, sometimes I use a top box and bring the gazebo table and cooker. Anyway I have subscribed and will investigate the rest of ur videos👍
I had a Vectra Estate I used to sleep in at the beach when night fishing! Thanks for watching.
Love this, well thought out. Great video 👍
Thank you
Just about to buy the exact same model of van, given me a lot of ideas, thanks very much! Really great build! 🙏🏻
Thank you and good luck with your build.
Great conversion!
Just bought the same engined model in banana yellow, really clean and on genuine 74k (original odometer not faulty and renewed) can't wait to get started converting it. Thanks for the inspiring vid
Nice!. Glad to be a help.
Amazing little van. Very well thought out and extremely practical design. Loads of ideas for my own project. Thanks for sharing ATB
Thank you!
Great job! Very well made, and for much cheaper than most overpriced camper vans.
Thanks!
Absolutely love it!!
Thanks Kris!
Really nice! Love it! 👍
Top video my mate 🤙👊🚚
Love this 😍
I did not expect that. Quality mate.
Thanks!
Lovely laid out van,
Certainly gives me inspiration in to what can be achieved.
I currently have a low roof swb van which I need to convert to sleep 1 adult, 1 small child and 1 small dog.
Yes it is possible, thank you.
I'm glad it's of help to you. Thanks for watching.
great video. just got a scudo and this has helped me alot
They are great Van's. Good luck with your build.
Well put together camper.
Thank you.
Simple and amazing value, well done
Thank you.
Your van looks bloody great!
Thank you Jake's.
Double bed....If Needed 😆.
Great van x
Awesome build
I love the tiny van conversions! New subs 😀
Hello Boondockers!
Great job well done.
Thank you.
Excellent budget van build . New Sub 😀
Wow, fantastic job!
Thank you!
Really impressed with what you’ve achieved. I’ve owned my Expert for 12 years but chose an ex-wheelchair converted Citroen Dispatch, to convert. as it’s all glass, to sides and rear, so less claustrophobic, plus it comes already trimmed with a proper headliner, which suits me. - the dropped floor is boarded over leaving great storage underneath. Loved the way you presented this - dead relaxed and so helpful. Wonder if you still have it?
Thank you.
Yes I still have it and it's still going strong.
55K miles since owning it and not one breakdown.
@@VanOnTour Brilliant. Non turbo power, wind up windows. What’s there to go wrong? Here’s to the next 55. Cheers.
Fantastic conversion! I’m planning to do something very very similar. Impressed with your budget
Thank you.
Great job Mate. 👍
Thank you.
Great conversion, take care ATB Paul
Thank you Paul.
Great tour, lovely Van thanks for sharing
Thank you.
Very nice conversion for stealth camping .
It works well at stealth too. Thanks for watching.
Great video and great van 👍🏻
Thank you!
Very nice mate
Nice job 👏
That’s a beautiful English summer day
Brilliant.. love it ❤️
Thank you.
Wow, terrific, - very inspiring, - and all for under £500. Nice. 👍
Thank you David.
Beautiful ❤️
Very nice, inspirational to me.
I'm glad you liked it.
I have just done my dispatch in the same way. Thank you.
Nice one.
Beautiful mate, I’ll take this as a inspiration....
=]
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Any remember those scudo days. Ah fond memories mate. 🤗
It was your Scudo that inspired me to do this one mate.
Brilliant 😁👍👏👏👏
I got rid of my Expert in favour of a LWB Vivaro thinking the Peugeot would be too small to convert , but you have shown otherwise , maybe I should have kept it , I really like how you have made use of the space , nice and simple for anyone to tackle .
Thanks! Kind words.
Great job. 👍
Thank you :)
1.9 d non turbo engine is for me the best choice. I have same van than you. High reliability! Greetings from France 🇫🇷 😉
Yes that's the engine I wanted. Not the HDI. Super reliable and will do 500K miles if looked after. Happy travels.
@@VanOnTour slow but super repliable 👍😁
A really inspiring build
Thank you James.
That is exactly how I'm doing mine it's all I need for working around the country.
Well done looks very cosy 👏👍
Thank you. Good luck with your build.
@@VanOnTour cheers dude
I see you were in waymouth looking down at the beach.
How spooky but I'm moving there with my van this spring 👍
@@fatfish6839 it was at Abbotsbury. Not far from Weymouth. Lovely area.
Ok yea saw the long beach new it was not far .
May bump into you over the summer then.
Keep the videos coming 👏👍
@@fatfish6839 yeah you probably will. I'm down that way a lot.
Awesome budget build! 😁
Thank you.
Epic conversion mate! ... we need to cross paths for an overnight trip one day!
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I'm always happy to meet fellow vanners on the road.
Great Job! dx
Thanks.
Great we van to get away in
It is! Thanks for watching.
I wish I had the money and the knowhow to build something similar to this! Looks great mate!
Thanks.
Really excellent!
Thank you!
Excellent
Thank you.
Love it budget stealthy camper what a bargain
I'm loving it too. Thanks for watching.
brilliant mate
Thanks mate.
Brilliant!
Thank you!
hi, ilovely little van,i’ve got one myself which was properly converted back in 1999 👍
Hi Derek, do you know the length of bed that can fit in one of these? Would love to find a decent condition one and convert but I'm 6ft. Thanks
@@Greg-eq7pf your very tall indeed
@@Greg-eq7pf Most people don't actually sleep stretched out, I have never had a problem sleeping in a Van with a 6Ft Bed and ime 6ft 2in.
Great van build! I'm aiming for something similar to this in my Berlingo (about the same age as your van, and a bit smaller). Have been in it full time since February 2017 and still haven't gone beyond my bodge of a build! Must get cracking...
Ahh. Do a video of it before and after.
@@VanOnTour Of course!
Hi. Just subscribed. Looking forward to your videos
Thank you. One is on it's way the next few days.
Love the carpet on the back doors.
It makes it so much warmer.
@@VanOnTour I mite put some on my side door as its not insulated, But im not worried because ive got a Chinese diesel heater coming later on today i cant wait :)
@@adventureaways1534 you should still do it. The carpet makes a huge difference. You should cover any bare metal or it will condensate leading to mould and damp problems.
We've just sold our Burstner Elegance and I'm converting a MK II Peugeot Expert, like the ideas and suggestions you have. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
just thought i'd make you aware that the link to ebay is no longer valid as they don't sell the item anymore. Love this build so much and have an older dispatch i intend to convert myself, watched this video a good few times, thank you so much for sharing
if you dont know the history of the cam belt, get it changed. it could be 15+ years old. ;)
should see the "getting it to my level of standard" work i have done to my dispatch van. ive not really done much inside besides auto carpet and insulation its all been rust repair and prevention. also retrofitting air conditioning while doing a clutch change. big electronic plans for mine. going to be fun!
The cambelt was done not long before I bought it. Are you videoing your build?
@@VanOnTour heh yeah you could say that, though most of the videos have been of me fixing the van up! been fun but now its onto doing things inside it rather than under it haha
Spot on m8
Thanks!
Love this van. Just the right size. I wouldn't install solar on the roof to be completely stealth.
It is a giveaway.
Love the van conversion, looking at doing something similar. When you were building the van, did you keep a list of all the materials used? Trying to put together an inventory together for what I'm going to need and anything like that would be super useful if you happened to have one!
Hi Alex. I'm afraid I did not keep a list. I kind of just made this conversion as I went along.
Great Job! I am working on a 2010 ford transit connect "dobby", about a similar size as yours with a mirror image interior (I am in the states) lol. I made my bed 2 inches wider than I planned but 30" closed is real comfortable for me being a side curled up sleeper. I can pull it out to about 45" width (72" long) I am wanting to keep my galley only 8" wider than wheel well so my 5 gallon propane tank and the 6 gallon fresh water jug could slide in from the back and have running water for a sink and outside shower, and a single burner hob that I want to be able to make a folding little table on the rear door so I can swing it around under the side canopy and cook outside on a nice day. These guys give a great platform to build on. I only average around 25 mpg on the 2 litre non turbo gasoline model. Haven't done any road trips to find what highway mileage would be like. Happy Trails!
That sounds ideal. The Connect was my 2nd choice van.
@@VanOnTour Sadly for small vans we have little choices here state side. "minivans" are nice but they lack headroom. Ford started making the roof lower after 2013, so it's why I searched out an older low mile model. Not that I can afford it but have seen people putting "pop tops" on them. I always loved the old vw van's but 8k for a camper pop top is lot of money lol. I am happy I can sit upright on my bed lol. Keep up the great work!
Basic but proves you don't have to spend a fortune on a so called luxury camper in order to get exactly the same enjoyment out of camping in and RV. Thumbs up!
Absolutely David
Thanks.
Hi there my good friend have just subscribed to your channel cracking video
Hi mate thank you. I've returned the sub.
I've had my trusty one of these vans for 4 years now I have one of the very last ones registered in that shape in 2007, I'm the second owner from new a painter owned it before me. As long as you drive them nice and steady the and don't expect much in acceleration 69BHP I can get 42mpg on long run. The engines are pretty much bullet proof, regular quality oil and filter changes, and the cam belt when needed and its good to go. I'd rather drive this than a modern car with all the electronic rubbish they have.
I've covered 40k miles in mine now. Apart from a broken suspension spring and a failed starting motor she's been rock solid and I'm getting 50mpg on a run. Amazing vans.
I have come across your video and subscribed I have the same van and year but I wouldn’t know where to start first I don’t know anything about electrics do they have to be wired in first before insulation also how does the wood stay on the sides and roof and does the holes for the lights need to be cut first before fitting as I say I have never attempted anything like this before and your van is amazing credit to you .
This channel should be named one man and his van
Nice video. You can use car fuel tank to supply diesel heater and save some living space.
Best regards.
Yes you can but i chose not to so I can use red diesel if need be.
@@VanOnTour Yes Why not that's what Red Diesel is for after all keeping warm😉👍👍.
Great Job a Full English and a Nice Big Mug of Tea and I bet you it Tastes way better than when Preppared in a Van costing an Arm and a Leg.
Ideal to go Touring The UK and Europe after Brexit on the Cheap.
Enjoy your Travels mate.
@@stevejones8665 thank you!
Van Life? In Dorset?
Thoroughly recommend it 😜
Absolutely!
I want to do the same but with a bulkhead fitted
Hi Billy. I did consider finding the bulkhead but opted for the heavy blackout thermal curtain instead.
Hey can you advise where you fed the positive cable from the main battery to leisure bat? can’t see an obvious route and want to avoid drilling. Awesome conversion btw
I used conduit and ran it down from the battery to the back of the engine then diagonally across to the leisure battery.
