    You really need to have a youtube channel ( i know i know this is one - but a dedicated 1 ..know what i mean ) .
    There is something enticing n lovely about your ability to talk to an invisible audience yet be very genuine about it , with cheekiness thrown in.
    Loved the van and your colour palette . If i needed to build one , reckon everything you chose would do it perfectly for me .
    Kudos to the wrap lady. She did a brilliant job . Sophisticated n funky ..just my style too.

    Agree that this is a really great layout for the important things. Normal kitchen, normal bed, normal bathroom. And from the outside it's not that obvious what's on the inside. I would perhaps shift the sink around a little bit (and perhaps the popup table in the kitchen area could fall flat into the side of the cupboard).

    Full bed lift at the front, replace the rear with a lounge? It would take some figuring out but could be stunning. This as it is though is great. The only thing I can fault these layouts on it if you have 3-4 people sat around the table at the front, you all will be playing footsy under the table. Too close quarters for me! Superb work, best I've seen so far.

    Stunning van. Your ideas for future build are spot on. Didn't know about the Ducato being a nicer van than Boxer etc. Three front seats would be better for family then you could move sink, cooker and fridge to behind front seats and get more room next to shower ? Or sliding unit that slides out under another to go in front of side door ?

    I just bought a used campervan; a ducato but with the 3 liter 180 hp engine. Drives perfect. The problem with self build ones is that I never would buy one, because I have no idea what standards were used. It is like buying a used self built sail boat. All of a sudden you are in the middle of the ocean and t starts delamintaing. So great for you and if you plan on using it forever not so much if u want to sell it, but suckers are born everyday; people who are stupid and dont know

Big Fridge with big freezer, big Toilet, garage for scooter or 2 bikes at least and compact size vertical bed would be most important for me. I like very much this pro looking boxes for all systems. I would not do at all cuisine if not enough place or no this seating places. Much water, big dirty water storage and at least 2 casettes for WC wastes. I thing that this wood cuboards and warderobe just taking space sometimes. I watching American small campers and they put really much more stuff inside Van and are more soft, and nice.

      -Do one small bit at a time
      -And it will be done.

All in all I’ve ended up with a good camper for the money in my opinion.

    Every conversion is based upon the owners requirements and these are yours. For me, it appears a large van with little space and not suitable at all for my needs. However you have taken a lot of time and effort in the build. Have you ever seen "Deep Red" a self built camper by a retired couple. Sadly Ian has passed away, but the website provides all the info on the build and how it was done.

    • @wright-adventure

      Yes I’ve seen deep red and I agree every self build should indeed be tailored to the owner, I learnt that on and the Landrovers I converted, no two were the same. I’m looking forward to building another later next year and I agree more space next time.
