Campervan Conversions - I convert panel vans into campervans or weekend vans. I like to include as much detail about the conversion process into my videos as possible. Converting a van is a great project and the purpose of these videos is to help anyone who is converting their own van. I also usually have vans for sale so if you are looking for a conversion please get in touch.

Hi i think your work is absolutely brill, ive been looking for the same runners what you use but cant find them that long, where do you get yours from? Can you let me know please. From Nottinghamshire UK 😊
Many thanks....I got the runners off ebay 750mm long.
Definitely looking forward to seeing you do a Boxer or Master van. That's gonna be interesting to see how you build that with more room and different dimensions.
Yes I look forward to it too. I have a plan for the layout, hopefully I'll get the van soon. Thanks.
if you were to start making these would be very interested.I have a transit Custom
Hi, I do make them for sale and I can make one for a transit custom. Email me if you would like to discuss. mrdwatsong@gmail.com Thanks
Dave could I buy one for a short wheelbase transit custom please.
Hi Jim, Yes I can make one to fit a transit custom. If you email me we can discuss dimensions etc. email address is mrdwatsong@gmail.com. Thanks
Another brilliant build, Dave... It looks great👍 I was just wondering if you have a link for your fridge at all. What's it like on power? Thanks - Mick
Thanks a lot, I got the fridge from ebay, here's a link. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125640273076?var=427146280502 They are okay on power usage and have an eco ode for when they are down to temp.
Great build Dave as it been built to order or is it for sale? Nice colour nice mileage would love a van like that😊
Hi, The van is currently for sale. Here is a link to a page where it is advertised. www.quirkycampers.com/uk/for-sale/2019-vauxhall-vivaro-sportive-lwb-campervan-conversion/ Thanks.
do you build campervan???
Yes I do....I usually buy a van, convert it and sell it on....but I also do work for others too. Thanks.
//@@dave-watson how much it would cost? for something similar to the ones shown in this video...could you please share it
Hi Dave, Did you connect the dc - dc charger to the wire underneath the drivers seat on the vivaro? Thanks
Hi, I connected the main cables to the starter battery and I connected the ignition cable to a fuse in the fusebox which went live when the van is running. I used a thing called a piggyback fuse holder. Hope that helps.
that’s great pal appreciate the advice. Just one more question, how did you go about choosing the isolate and none isolate dc charger? I’m thinking a 30a would be sufficient? Thanks again
Hi, Dave. May I please ask where you got your insolation from ? I will be doing a van build shortly following all of your advice, so this may not be my last question. Thank you for providing all your knowledge, i find your videos extremely helpful and feel as if not much can go wrong if i stick to your techniques. I may have to keep you updated on that one 😂😂
I got the insulation from B&Q but you can also get it on ebay a search for "plastic bottle insulation" should find it. Good luck with your build. Thanks for watching.
Looks amazing ❤
Many thanks.
Quality video Dave. I've just bought a vivaro and I'm planning on doing something similar to this
Thanks a lot and good luck with your own build.
Well done Dave, that turned out into a VERY nice cosy van!!! You know what you are doing, the way you work is very organised, and we see that in the end result, impressive!!! Have many save miles with it. Looking forward to the next build!!!!
Many thanks......I really like to look of this van it turned out real well.......Next will be the L2 H2 boxer/master, hopefully I'll get started on it later in the year. Thanks for watching.
I watched the whole series back to back. Thank you for the videos.
My pleasure.....hopefully more to come soon on the next build..
Dave, Love the design and weight! What about a storage drawer in the lower frame unit? Also, I think your bolts would be better replaced with a sliding lock going into a hole in the floor! :)
Thanks a lot....yes it could have a door fitted to the front or a drawer, either would work. But I like the bolts...simple and effective.
Superb !!! I have watched this build from start to finish,videos are real informative and great to watch,keep up the great work
Many thanks....can't wait for the next van....hopefully coming soon.
Dave, Love the methodical planning,do you have the order in which you tackle the tasks available as a template ?. as Im about to embark on my first build,copying one of your earlier vivaros ,it would be useful to a newbie like me
Thanks a lot....I think I have a PDF of my works schedule for this van. If you email me I should be able to send a copy. mrdwatsong@gmail.com
hi Dave great video. Have you decided to start making these yet ?. i would be very interested to know if you could give me a price for one to fit in a v w crafter . I don't have the room to build one or time . regards allan
Hi Allan, Yes I do make them and I'm sure I could make one to fit a crafter.....email me to discuss at mrdwatsong@gmail.com Thanks.
Great conversion, brilliant video as always buddy. Look forward to your next offering whatever you decide to post first 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks a lot....Hopefully I'll get a larger van soon and again I will video the whole build.
Aa always, you've done a fantastic job there, Dave. Well done pal 👍
Many thanks.
Well done Dave! Can’t wait to see your H2 build 👍 You’re a busy man.
Thanks a lot....yes I like to keep busy.
Beutiful Dave
Many thanks.
Rock'n roll bed layouts aren't my favourite but I still enjoyed this series Dave. The van did turn out nice, The bed being light is good although seats with belts for passenger's can also be handy too; could also be a bad thing 😆
Many thanks....I'm real pleased with how the van turned out. I know what you mean about the R&R bed....but it does work well in a small van.
@@dave-watson Yes Dave, my issue is I always sit these days with my feet up when I can, and why I like bench seats; plus I travel alone 95% of the time.
@@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN I did a previous vivaro with an L shaped bench which folds out for the bed. . A real simple design and a more spacious seating arrangement. Thanks.
@@dave-watson I remember that one Dave, my favourite. I did watch it twice if I remember correctly...cheers.
Very nicely done Dave , I've enjoyed this conversion . Looking forward to watching your next project .
Thanks a lot....L2 H2 Boxer coming soon.
Loved watching this build Dave, and all your other work bravo sir. Can't wait for the next build
Thanks a lot....as soon as the vivaro sells I'll be onto the next one.
I do enjoy the Vivaro builds , I have a LWB one myself. It will be great to see something different next time though Dave
Thanks....yes a L2 H2 Boxer next....I look forward to the new challenge.
Great vid again Dave you make it so easy but it's not ❤
Thanks a lot....It all starts with a good plan....makes the whole build much easier.
really nice. great instructions. 💕🇨🇦
Thanks a lot.
Great build Dave 👍your like the teacher I never had 😂👍your attention to detail is just fantastic - cheers from down under 🇦🇺
Many thanks...I'm real pleased with the way the van turned out. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant conversion Dave, can't wait to see what you do with the higher roof van. It would be quite interesting also to see you do a roof pop up van. Cheers
Thanks a lot...I look forward to doing a larger van. As soon as this one sells I'll get a l2 h2 boxer and get started.
A true renaissance man.👌🏻
Many thanks.
This was simply epic 😃👍 great build and nice finish. I've done a long wheel base Toyota 4wd van conversion and it didn't go too bad, but I made a lot of mistakes so a great learning curve 😂 be really interesting to see a drive video around the town you live in and some of the countryside, it's always interesting to see other people's countrys. Great video 👍👋 thanks from southern New Zealand 👋😃
Thanks a lot.....I remember the first van I did....It took ages and also many mistakes....I always find it best to start with a good plan. And i I get out to the country I'll definitely make videos of that too.
@@dave-watson yeah I learned that lesson pretty quickly and definitely had a plan when I built my tiny house 😄 can't wait for your next video 👍👋😃
Great build Dave. I really enjoyed the series. You are very talented!! Would be great to see you out and cooking a little budget meal in it 😊😊
You've thought of everything Dave really really classy 👏👏
Thanks a lot Carol......I'm real pleased with how the van turned out....can't wait to get on with the next one.
Absolutely enjoy watching your video, such hardworking gentleman,
Many thanks....I really enjoy doing these builds.
Im taking very much inspiration from your build. Outstanding build very clean,looks very light also. Thank you for sharing this whit us. Greetings from Poland
Many thanks....that van dis feel very light and spacious for a small van.
Nice work Dave, not just on the camper, your video editing/production work too!
Many thanks....The van is almost there.
Hi Dave,love this van, I have just aquired a Vivaro myself with a view to turn it into a camper. In the video you touch on the fan you use,with the flyscreen and blackout screen,could you tell me what make and model is it ?
Thanks....It was a vent in the roof but no fan...it is called the MPK Vision star....I got it form ebay....good luck with your conversion.
Dave your microphone seems low but enjoying your volgs
Thanks a lot....I think sometimes I speak with my back towards the mic and it struggles to pick me up.
Thanks from Florida, US!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant Dave simply brilliant 👍👍
Many thanks.
WOW such an amazing job , the workmanship is top notch, I love the natural wood look. You such a clever man Dave. 😊
Many thanks....I'm real pleased with the way the van is coming together.
No ventilation?
There was an opening window behind the cooker. Thanks.
Great work sir! I wasn't convinced about the blue at all... until the door fronts went on! They look superb with the radius corners. On another note, it is wonderful to hear a voice from my old neck of the woods that is calm, caring and from a good heart. I now live in Devon (30 years) and your voice is a good reminder of the beauty of the North East. Thanks Dave :)
Thanks a lot....I like to contrast between the blue and the natural wood and the black catches really sets it off. I feel blessed to like where I do....I've got the North east coast just up the street...a beautiful place.
Well done!!! What a amazing build!! You do a fantastic job!! Cant wait to see how it in the end all turns out, and what will be the first adventure with it? Any destinations plannned??
Thanks a lot....It will be complete in the next video and I'm real happy with how it has turned out. I think I will sell this van and get a L2 H2 Boxer to keep. Then I'll be off to the hills.
👍. 🙋♀️🇨🇦
Thanks a lot.
Excellent!
Many thanks.
Was opened mouth all through that. You are a clever lad Dave👏
Many thanks Carol....the van will be complete in the next video. Thanks for following along.
Nice one Dave! 👍 Very clever and your very patient. I'd love to do up a Camper Van. I kept thinking you were going to say, "Now just pop it in the over for 20- 25 minutes..." 😂👍
Thanks a lot......it's a great project to do....and yes, in the oven for 20 mins at 180c Lol.
Amazing as always Dave
Many thanks.
Outstanding 😲 it looks amazing 👍👋
Thanks a lot....It's almost complete.
Great vid Dave you make it look so easy 👍
Many thanks....I've done a few Vivaros at this point....It gets easier the more you do.
