Silicon was used to stick the floor to the...

Просмотров 22 тыс.3 года назад
In today's video we are fitting a reverse camera with a rear view mirror mounted display to our 2011 Volkswagen caddy maxi. However the same guide can be used for fitting any reverse cameras. Initially the camera didn't work when the vans engine was running. This was diagnosed to be because of the vans CAN bus system.

Thanks so much, I put mine in today, my caddy is different Theres no mirror at the front because there is no windows and there is plastic between the front seats and back of the van I bought a suction cup mirror to attach the screen to, ran the wires got them into the back but having issues with the door itself I tried to take off the cover on the inside of the back door, no joy 😅 I do have to replace the back break light glass so seen how thats done which is a two in one Great video thanks for thorough explanation
Hi guys. I’m about ready to apply the moisture barrier and was wondering how far down into the sills you went?
Love this video. Where did you get the curtains made please and where exactly do the magnets attach?
Hi, which rear view mirror kit did you use ? Please can I have a link. Thanks
Love this! How much was the build inside total?
Thanks! This was about 6k including the poptop.
Hi guys , what adhesive did you use on the pods
Hi, how much did you end up using thr roof bed? Did you wish youd gone for the scenic canvas? How is the head beight in the roof bed flr sitting up there enjoying the view? Looking to have a west dubz fitted for my scorland trip!
Hi there, the roof bed was rarely used and would only really be suitable for a child to stay in. I would highly recommend getting the scenic canvas without the roofbed. This would give you more headroom.
Watching this in year 2024, I guess it looks kinda difficult to put it on :(
Did you cut out the roof ? Or how ?
This van has had a pop top roof fitted
What happened to the channel and build series.?
Sorry for the lack of posts and more will be on the way soon!
What’s the software to create interior layouts
This was using solid works. Fusion 360 is a good free cad software though
Awesome. What is the width of the sleeping space?
This is a small double with
Hi, what tool did you use to cut thw windows out? Thanks
We used an air operated nibbler. Leaves a really neat cut edge
Hi, I would love to find such little campers in France, but no company offers it in my country 😟
Hi, How did you get the sun visor clips out to remove the cab headliner ????? Thanks
We just used a trim removal tool to pry them out. Then you can unscrew them
Being 186cms tall I need a pop top. I'll just leave mine black when I finally do it
What split relay systems have people been running for those with a smart alternator??
I would recommend either the Renogy or victron b2b chargers if you have a smart alternator
Hi I have a vw caddy camper (tramper in Germany ) have been looking at maybe a roof box tent or something what you guys have done. Can you tell me roughly what your conversion cost and are these units available to buy . Thanks Drew
Hi Drew. This whole conversion was about 7k including the roof. Unfortunately the units aren’t for sale. Good luck with your conversion!
Hi guys, great channel, love your videos. I’m currently converting my Caddy Maxi as well and was wondering which colour/style of Altro flooring did you use?? It looks really good. Thanks again. 👍👍
Hi is this a Bodans Cubert Conversion kinda looks like it?
It’s not, this is our own custom deisgn. I believe bodans don’t have a fridge etc in there’s
lovely, who covered the front seats? was it mulberry, as well? thanks 😎
I can’t remember exactly but I know the person who did put upholstery mulberry furnishings can do them
I would buy this one instantly. If I ever win the lottery
I’m looking to convert one myself and have watched loads of RUclips videos, this one is by far the best I’ve seen. It’s amazing.
Thanks so much!
Do they have to cut into the headliner? I’ve just had mine retrimmed so would be a shame if they do as I’m booked in with them this month
Yeah unfortunately they do
Do you have a link for the relay?
It is a standard switching relay available at any automotive store
Is the furniture available yet?
Thanks for making the video it’s very well put together!
Thanks guys!
I just bought the glass for my caddy and a nibbler after watching your video. Did you find the glass handed for each side? My instructions were rather basic without pictures.
@@Georgous92 Amazing, the nibbler makes the job alot easier! Yeah the glass should be handed for each side. I would have a dry fit of the windows up against the side of the van before fitting. As some of the glass doesn't have the best shape
@@cruisycampers4749 thanks for the info!
Nice conversion! Where did you get the bed from?
Thanks, we made everything ourselves out of lightweight ply
Any update on availability of the bed and cabinet kits?
Great Conversion. Hope you have some great adventures.
It's waisting your time and money for carpet , if you didn't insulated side windows panels and wheel arches. It only look nice - only benefit for you.
Is there any change of height in the interior headroom when the top is down, ie is it lower or higher than the original roof inside?
With the bed it makes it the same height, but without the bed it adds about 3/4 inches of added height. Which does make quite a difference
Love your videos, they are a fantastic help. How did you cut the panel clip holes out on the side panels once they are carpeted? Thanks!
Best caddy conversion iv seen. Top class, well done
Is this a LWB or MWB van?
This is a MWB van
Where was this filmed with that view?
It was on Exmoor national park
The best conversion I've seen, will look out for when it's on sale, any idea on price yet?
i wish someone would build the short caddy version like this..
Brilliant video just bought a new android dash screen. I was hoping the camera was Bluetooth too but wired.
Hi, great job you’ve both done looks fab. Can I ask what the width of the sleeping area? Can you both fit up there comfortably?? Looking to do something similar if you both fit.
Thanks, the poptop is actually pretty small. I would say it would only be suitable for one adult. The lower bed comfortably fits two adults though
@@cruisycampers4749 hi, yes also wondering what the width is, I see reimo say 93cm wide sleeping area, is that what you have, out to the edges? A lot of of literature says they sleep 4. I assume they mean 2 children upstairs?
What thickness ply did you use
It's a Beautiful job! I have the same van, and the limits are endless as you have demonstrated, but my only query is; is the double bed really wide enough for two medium sized people ? Thanks dx
Thanks so much! It is a small double bed, so it is certainly cosy with two large adults. For a couple it would be suitable though
Hi, Love the van conversion, fantastic job! Very interested in buying your bed and kitchen flat pack. Is there somewhere i can purchase this?
Thanks so much! They aren't available to purchase yet, but they will be in the future
Hey guys this video saved me from scratching my head, but after installing the relay when I put in reverse with engine running the relay just buzzes and camera still doesn’t work? Do I need constant 12v or acc 12v to the relay
Either a switched 12v or constant 12v feed will be ok. I would check the earth for the relay is working and everything is connected securely.
hi guys having same problem anyone got a solution thanks
Very impressed with what you both have done to your Caddy 👍👍
Poor job. Not enough sound deadening and no insulation. Going to be cold at night.
What if you only use in summer.
Going to be cold without insulation .
The van has got some insulation. If you were to sufficiently insulated a caddy you wouldn't have any space inside
What would make the windows of a Volkswagen Caddy be lowered half way in a locked car! Happened 2 times so far. Nothing showed on video. This is not a joke! Please help me if you know anything about this...🥺❣
Long pressing the lock or unlock button can cause this or a faulty remote that is constantly sending a signal out.
Hi, do you have a link for the tool you guys used to cut out the metal? I'm looking to install a window in my caddy too and this video made it look easy :) thanks
Hi there, it was an air powered nibbler, I believe we purchased ours from screwfix
Probably a bit late now but you can also get nibblers that fit onto a drill.
how much did that cost you guys to get made? The units and bed I mean. Looks factory cut!
The complete set of units was about a £1000, but would prices have increased dramatically since then
Hey! nice job. Did you use longer trim clips for the panels or use originals? if so would you be able to link me to them. Thankyou
Hi yes the carpet we ordered from vandalised on eBay came with longer trim clips. I’m sure they sell them on their own too
