@@stevie-green hi Stevie. Yeah i did build one with another bed. What i did was fixed double in same place. Kitchen on heavy duty sliders which pull out from under the bed to in front of the sliding door. Then behind drivers seat a seat bench (single bed by night) that ran down the drivers side of the van to underneath the double bed. Stood outside the sliding door it looked like a 1200mm seat bench but then when i moved the small cushion leaning up the bed it revealed a rectangle hole. That hole was for a persons feet ( knees downward) where the mattress ran under the bed to above the wheel arch making it a 180cm bed. For a child i’d imagine at most, their feet would be under it. Hope this helps :) Or technically you could do the same layout as my video but make the seat square, bring it out infront of the sliding door a bit more and build that one to aslo go under the bed.

@Baloovanz tks bud , did you video the bench set up

@ i didn’t unfortunately. I did have some photos but seem to have lost them. If i manage to find them i will upload them 😎

@Baloovanz tks mate

@@Robbielovesbushcraft cheers mate. Now i’v done one. I reckon the other side will be a doddle. I’d definitely say they are harder than standard bonded windows though. Worth it though in my opinion. Thanks for watching 😎

@@tadeuszs2283 jest mały, ale kompaktowy. sprzedałem go dawno temu. Niektórzy ludzie chcą małego vana do parkowania. Miało to wszelkie udogodnienia, w jakich chcą niektórzy kupujący.

@Baloovanz mam prawie 190 wzrostu i będę robił podobny samochód, ale łóżko wzdłuż auta postawię , pozdrawiam 👍

@@mandydobosz6343 Hi, I got it from Custom Design shop. This was the UK RHD drive version but they do also do a LHD version for other countries.

@@Midlifetentboxers Hi, at the moment i’m not taking on any new builds apart from this Movano i’m building to keep due to work being manic but thank you for the consideration. What part of the country are you in maybe i could recommend another company?

@ we’re in Staffordshire mate near Cannock Chase. Currently have a tentbox on it but looking at converting the inside. It’s just used for Storage atm when we’re travelling. Thanks 🚚⛺️

@@luckylimbo4816 thank you

The height adjustment function is a part of the seat not the base. Therefore any new seat would need the ability within that to adjust height. I can’t remember if the Saab 9-5 ones have that function but i’m sure the RX8 ones do an maybe the Audi TT ones which are all easy fit. You can also use box steel if a new seats too low to raise it to your preferred height.

@@purplevalleywoolshop8786 Hi Gary, It was a small double (4ft) and full length mattress (190cm). Im 5ft 10 and lying on it with my head pressed against the one side of the van i had about 2inch below my heels. I will say though that i carpeted into the window reveals with 10mm closed cell foam for that extra room.

@@bonniecurtis hi this one was a long time ago but i measured up to level with the bottom of the window and i think it was around 680mm if i remember correctly but don’t quote me on it

Thanks mate just need to get the editing better and the correct size screen for youtube haha. The tracks called Wow! by Alex Goose.

@@Baloovanz it's crazy what you can do now with cameras like that, next level stuff huh..

@@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN yes i have had a few campervans and i love them but tbh very occasionally i fancy a tent trip and this one was somewhat eventful! Especially when we lit the damp coffee logs 😂🤦🏻. I got a new waterproof one since this though 😂

Should've focused in school then. You had every opportunity as everyone else to do anything else and get in to college and university.

@@Giggs-SN1 I did try the school, none of them accept me because I am lack in BSL (British Sign Language) required level four, which I have level one, the course is 3 years. Why bother.

@@Giggs-SN1 You qualify as a proper ass hole.

@@johnwheeler2040 dunno about “easy” i drove before sat navs and used maps. My first job was as a drivers mate navigating using maps and delivering fridge freezers and household furniture and yet now regardless of sat nav it is far from “easy”. The driving and following a sat nav is easy i agree. The job isn’t “hard” it’s the being took for a cnut and spoken to like a dog for total shit money thats the bit that is shit. I came back to HGV driving after 15 years done it for 3 days and got rid of that job 3 days later.

@@abc33944 it was Fradley i was at for literally 3 days 😂. To be fair as far as companies go they were great, drivers were sound, trainers were sound, half the office staff where sarcy cnuts but delivery point staff at the likes BMW and Wincanton where absolute tossers. Even just people who were nothing to do with them, drivers, security, parking wardens-people just have a sh1t attitude towards HGV drivers. My prior job i worked half the hours for double the pay and received nothing but gratitude for the work i done (not in this industry) so im off back to it.

@@philiphockey7996 i was going to move to Victoria about 4 years ago funny enough. My wifes Polish so we thinking of moving there now

@@Cayres9 it’s totally understandable about the shortage of fuel my ADR cost me nearly 1k and is literally useless. I have worked jobs as well where you need to unload. Dreams make you unload the beds and sofas and take them in to room of choice. Some companies give you a pump truck and some have moffetts. I agree that shouldnt really be the drivers job. Their back and spine agrees haha. Finding a career you enjoy is hard to be honest. My last job was a manager before that a social worker before that an electrician and before that a HGV driver. I have spent well over 100k on qualifications and still haven’t found what feels right to me. I have a serious issue with authority and im beginning to think maybe starting my own company might be the only way for me.

@@Baloovanz I agree 💯👍 maybe 🤔 start your own haulage firm with your own trucks and vans ? As people always need a removals company or the use of HGV or vans to deliver goods around , my uncle is self employed and said never work for another person, always try to work for yourself 👍

@@atrociousliar3314 for me i find things i enjoy and then when the pressure and stress sets in it puts me right off. I really need to accept that sometimes you have to do as your told 😂🤦🏻. Totally agree though no job is worth destroying your wellbeing.

@@dazzler6992 wow that some length if graft mate. Tell me about it the CPC what a waste of time 😂 same old shit every time. It’s like common sense. Totally agree though i even did my ADR (with Tanks) and it’s not come in useful at all. They make you pay thousands and jump through hoops like it’s a privilege and then pay shite for it and most people in the industry treat you like a dog. I used to work on construction sites as a sparky and had such a good laugh. Exhausting work but good lads made the days fly by. Good on you for finding what you enjoy mate. Thats what its all about 😎👌

@@rickreid8572 totally agree 👌

@@gefleigh4264 funny enough i applied to the police about 5 years back and twice before that. I have a degree and interview well, i passed the police written tests at Snow Hill station in Birmingham and do you know why i was refused all 3 times? Because i have a tatoo on my hand of a clock, showing the time my dad died with the word dad. I highlighted that their website says they do accept tatoos unless offensive (staffs police have loads of tatooed people). They said “but it also says if it is garrish and we consider yours to be large and garish” 😂 my uncle just left the police he was a sergeant and he said its a very “if your face fits” kind of place. He hated it and did 15 years there. Now he is cabin crew and a HGV driver 😂

@@chrischarlescook absolutely mate. People say it’s good money each week. It is if you want to work 60 hours a week! The responsibility for safety is HUGE and the truth is some warehouse workers are on more money and don’t have to pay 3-4k for a license and CPC every year to do that job.

I do car transporters and it’s £13 ph for the first 40 then time 1/2 after that. £4 per vehicle loaded/unloaded so £2 on £2 off. £26 per night out. £2 per day food allowance and £2 per day no damage bonus. Take home on average £875 - £1000 pw. The whole industry is grim from top to bottom and plays havoc on your life and mental well being at times. I’m 35 now and been on cars since 22 and I want out of the industry by 45 latest. 23 yrs of working away is enough for anyone.

@@laurencechrisp1368 wow that sounds like some long hours out. I never done nights out (well a couple of times) and hated it. I really used to enjoy driving but not so much anymore we are similar in age (im 37) and it’s a lot more hours than i remember but i suppose in your 20’s it’s not such an issue. HGV drivers oiterally keep the country (in fact world) running from new cars to scrap cars to medicine to medical equipment, food to movement of goods to shopping. Literally the cogs of society and for that the reward is disgusting. Long hours with very low pay. It really needs looking at because without HGV drivers society will literally come to a stop. I hope you find what makes you happy because it sounds like you have done more than enough while some fat cats get rich of the back of hard working people.

@@johnw2758 This ^^^^🔥👌 absolute golden advice mate and i totally agree. My brother in law was on “60k a year” he ended up losing my sister and his kids because he was literally never home and they grew apart. Nothing is worth the stress and hassle that any job can give you. I started class 2 in 2008 and absolutely loved it as you said because of driving something so big. Years on the grind made me leave and go to university and i ended up working in an office which brought a different type of stress about. Truth is no job is worth your help and sanity. I would always prefer to afford to live rather than miss living by working so much at the expense of my mental health to get to enjoy it for a few years in retirement. Live now not later because life is too short ay!

@@JackOfski well i mean that is quite a different and inspiring story. I think it is the UK attitude that is the issue. The good thing is i still hae my class 1 and 4 years left on my ADR so if i can manage to leave the UK i might give it another try. Enjoy Spain 😎👌

@@Baloovanz Its a much better way of living for a truck driver as there is much more space fewer cars and less road works, plus the food is cheaper and Im paid £35 a night for being abroad..ADR, HIAB licenses etc can demand more £s ph than just the class 1 itself.

@@petercotton89 Yeah it might be due to being Agency. I have to say tho the depot staff where not so much the issue it was the customer drop offs like BMW and Wincanton that where tossers. As well as people out on the road

@@bainebolton8244 ay?

@@mynameiscammy2512 totally agree. I looked into owner operator and was baffled how anyone affords to do it. Also so many loops to jump through like the O license and storage of unit. What i hate is this “we will replace you if you don’t want to do as you’re told” attitude. Completely agree about the money. Good money can be earned but it’s beyond ridiculous the amount of hours you need to work to achieve that. It’s a shame because it could be a happy and freeing job if it weren’t for the attitudes towards drivers and expectations of long hours.

Everyone’s experience is different and you might really enjoy it. I wish you all the best with it.

Don't listen to the negative comments it's not like that for everyone mate. I've been on class 1 for over 2 years and it's a great job, long hours mind you but worth it for me. I work for a good company and I'm paid well, so good luck for the future and just take your time, you'll maybe struggle for 6 months but stick with it, and practice that blind side as you'll need that skill at some point.

@@chickenofthecave7046 i already left it mate. I did around 10 years on class 2 and the industry is the same. For agency workers anyway. Makes me laugh actually that 99% of companies want you to have a year or 2 experience on class 1 yet nobody will give you the experience and ignore your 10 years on class 2. I agree though not all companies are the same but for me the industry is the same. Most drivers are great, a good laugh and work hard. Its the “office” and delivery point staff that grate on me. Not worth working 60 hours a week and being spoken to like a dog for £15 an hour.

@@matthewthorpe6594 i will be posting a video soon of Autism and work. I used to work for a well known Autism charity and have both personal and professional experience of Autism and i don’t think many people would believe that i have had well over 50 jobs in my lifetime i have 35 qualifications and am often told im over qualified yet i think the longest i stuck a job out was a year. I really struggle with being told what to do, i get bored quickly, i get frustrated with people who don’t think efficiently like me and i am ALWAYS seeking something that i will enjoy. My friends and family laugh at it and most likely see me as a failure. Everyone who knows me says i am extremely intelligent and think and analyse on a deep level but i get so angry at myself that despite it being easy for me to walk into most jobs, i just can’t seem to hold one down. Issue with authority? Consistency? Complacency and boredom? Lack of commitment? Lack of job support and reasonable adjustments? All of the above? I have no idea but i keep re trying. I punish myself a lot and make things difficult for myself all the time but i always continue to try and find myself and be the best i can. I LOVE building camper-vans more than anything but i just don’t think its a viable sustainable career choice lol

@@CT-pv9gu i agree mate. I think i expected it to be like when i drove class 2 for years but it was a long time ago and i have a family now. I couldn’t deal with how angry people in the office kept making me not to mention loaders on the bays at deliveries, parking attendants, booking in offices etc. HGV drivers are literally spoken to like a useless dog and it just winds you up all the time. I also hated 14/15 hour days they are just too long. Good money to be earnt if your happy to be away from your friends and family all the time and can brush off the twats.

@@Baloovanz it’s all about the office people. If they’re a decent bunch, you’re sorted. But it’s so rare these days. I needed the money desperately, but now I’m thinking it just isn’t worth it. The bullshit isn’t worth the money in the long run.

@@CT-pv9gu i think if your able to not let it bother you and dust it off it’s ok but you’re right some of us don’t see any amount of money being worth spoken to like shite all day everyday. I broke down in that lorry on my video called the office n told them n they said @bring it back” i said it says air leak suspension malfunction and the brake lights have come on flashing and EML. They said “so bring it back it aint hard” i was 200 mile away 😂. As this convo happened a security guard was taking photos telling me i can’t park there. I told him iv broken down and calling my office. He pointed at a no parking sign and said well im booking you, you clearly can’t read. I said a few profanities to him and decided then and there i can’t be arsed with this shit. I took all the shit in my 20’s now im nearly 40 with a family and i would end up being done for assault had i stayed there 😂

@@CT-pv9gu i used to drive for Comet years ago their office staff where sound but as you say its much more rare noe

@@Baloovanz if you can brush it off then yeah, keep going, but that’s rare these days too. That story sounds so familiar 😂 at our place they literally send us out in lorries they already know are broken. It’s that bad… And yeah the people we deliver to are arseholes as well. It’s rare you deliver to decent people. On the whole it’s a shit industry and I congratulate anyone who leaves it. It’s good money for a reason. Usually the shit jobs pay the most and the best jobs pay minimum wage!

@@maciej_zieba Hey, yes i would say they are very strict on safety in the yard so make sure you follow their procedures. However, my uncle who works for them has had to tell them he won’t take a faulty vehicle out and they’ve tried to push him too so stand your ground if it is something you could get a penalty by VOSA for. They are pretty good to work for to be honest but some places you deliver too are vile rude obnoxious twats. Again don’t take no shit but equally do everything right stand your ground and you will be fine 💪🏼 best of luck with it mate i’m sure you will enjoy it. 😎

@@maciej_zieba also always make sure you have spare tacho rolls on you because their cabs never have any. Mostly brand new vehicles though so nice to drive them 😎 Brewery work not so fun though 😂

Much appreciated!!😁👍🏻 I've only done a few weeks out so I'm sure its gonna be okay. Did come across a few idiots already but I just say it's part of the job😆 I'll make sure to bring spare tacho rolls. Just getting the hang of it all still...or so I think🤣 Thanks again👍🏻 Drive safe!

@@maciej_zieba mate i tell you what, there are LOADS of negative people in that industry that will tell you how shit it is and how much they hate it…yet they’re still there. It’s a decent job if you are happy to work long hours and that’s the issue for me too many hours away from my disabled son. It is a good industry where you can effectively be your own boss. Keep to yourself, don’t involve yourself in drama or take stupid risks and have a calm but confident and patient but motivated approach and you will love it. Wish you all the best with it mate and keep safe out there 😎

Yeah I get what you mean, for now I'm young and no commitment so hours don't affect me as much. Always wanted to do this as a kid so money is just a bonus😂 I try not looking at this as a job much. As you even say, you are your own boss. We shall see how it goes cus same place, maybe see you about haha👍🏻

@@lukehill8214 hi it was the lwb im sure swb would work for a single bed maybe?

@@Baloovanz thanks! There's a bit more space to play about with in the long wheelbase It seems, would be a squeeze for two people in a swb

@@lukehill8214 i tend to do the rock n roll bed layout in the swb and this layout in the lwb. Its only about 12inch longer than the swb but it makes a lot of difference to be fair.

@@Baloovanz I'd love to see if it could be done in a swb with L shape or two side benches at the back and small compact units at the front for fridge basin and even a small oven, as a corner kitchen pod somehow 😂

@@lukehill8214 i think that could easily be done but id imagine the oven would need to go where the side window is behind the driver seat. I have done a more recent similar layout but a bench down behind drivers seat and across back in L shape and a small kitchen pod protruding halfway across sliding door. The seat bench then slides out to meet the kitchen side to make a big bed. Surprising what you can fit in these haha

Hi matey, no it is a long wheel base. The mattress was a small double so 4ft wide and all i cut off the bottom was the corner for where the lights are. Foam mattress from Ikea, unzipped cover and cut the foam back.. i did have to keep the rear window reveals indented so i used 10mm self adhesive closed cell foam then a 3mm ply then carpet lined. I lay on it and I’m 5ft 10 and i had a few inch left below my heels laying flat.

Theres alway a volume button you can turn down :)

Hi thank you, I don'thave a link but it is a MK3 Megane steering wheel and Mazda RX8 seats. I got both from ebay and the drivers seat is electrical adjustment. They also come in manual adjustments. Thanks.

@Wheelgooddriving Thanks for the info, what year is this trafic? Mines is swb 09 plate, did you have to make any modifications to make seats fit? Any tips on doing similar conversion for the seats ( without them tuning ) Thanks, Robert

@@Infinityvibes360 Hi Robert, this one was a 60 plate 2010 i think. In terms of the front seats if you want to fit these or Audi TT seats which both are a fairly simple fit they just need a notch grinding of the bottom. I show this in one of the videos.i will try to find it for you. If you want a single passenger seat simply buy a seat base for a drivers seat from the same model of van (tat yard/ebay) and it bolts into the passenger side although one of the holes is under the mat so just cut it out the mat. Some seats will bolt straight on top of the two seat bases. I had to drill a couple of holes. But theaw where quite low so i fitted some 5x3 steel box section to raise their height. It all sounds much more difficult than it is to be fair

ruclips.net/video/a_96a7K8cNc/видео.htmlsi=ZePc6WlfL8ed6HeH 4:15 and 8:10 on the video

@@Infinityvibes360 ruclips.net/video/8n5eMAGq2A8/видео.htmlsi=6Aqzd8QLvSekQUdp. Go to 8 min 50 in to this link and you will see the rails and how i fitted them

I can’t remember now but i think it might have been customshop designs

No they are 40cm from the floor without the cushion so normal seat height really

😂 Thanks for your feedback. I have built around 10 Vivaros with this layout that have sold with no problem. Some of those people, I have kept in contact with who still love the van years later, this one included. Short bed? The bed is 180cm long when fitted at the bottom of the window reveal. I’m 5ft 10 and could lay on that bed stretched out without my feet touching the bottom of it so hardly a “short bed”. I could also sit on the bed without my head touching the ceiling of the van as could the customer who purchased it. With some clever thinking it can be fitted to work fine. My feedback from customers and own experience differs from your negative opinion but you do you and i’l do me 👍🏼

Also ‘no proper seating’? It has 3 seats 2 of which rotate and a table that fits in the middle but again you do you 😎

@@Baloovanz So how long is the bed, if it isn't 1.83 it isn't legal. Seated in the driver's seat where do you put your legs? So it is a two seater at best. How do you cook, you cannot stand and you cannot sit. But the biggest problem is being unable to sit up in bed. I have a standard R&R bed, swivel double seat which seats 4 and 4 can travel in the van, sleeps 2 comfortably plus a dog. And you can sit up in bed. The whole thing cost £1k in parts.

@@allanb52 OK first of all there is no legal requirement for the length of a bed in the back of a self build campervan, so no idea what you are talking about. Secondly as i just said the bed is 180cm long. In regard to the drivers seat, it swivelled, so just like any other camper van it can be put on an angle to face into the back of the van as can the passenger seat. Those combined with the curved seat mean that 3 can sit at the table. The cooker is also easily reachable by sitting on the curved cushion or kneeling. Whatever the person wishes to do. Obviously you can’t stand up to cook it would need a pop top which is obviously an additional cost - which i would have fitted if someone wanted it. I have built many vivaros in the layout you have, with an rnr bed which also works for other people. Some people hate rnr beds and find them, a mess about sliding up and down and too generic. People have different tastes, needs and preferences. I’m glad yours works for you. This van worked for me and for the person it was sold to, so not sure where your going with it or your reason for going to someones youtube channel, to criticise their work. How about go out on a trip in your vivaro with your rnr bed and enjoy your time instead of spreading negativity?

You said you have 10 happy customers, so this is not a self build. In order to get the vehicle registered as a campervan the bed must be at least 6 foot. The maximum van width is 1.64m and even if it were 1.8 is still doesn't conform to regs. So you advising others to build a campervan that can never be legalised and again, how do you use the cooker/sink? It is a "Little Bess"..how they tortured Guy Fawkes.
