Going back over your old videos and this is my favourite van but the vario is a close second 👍
Mine too!
Lovely job, thanks for the tour
you are welcome thanks for the positive comments
Enjoying viewing the camper arrangements, I'm going to be changing my maxus set up soon as kids got to big for bunks. Keep the adventures real mate.
hi Andy glad you enjoyed the videos I will soon be starting a new project and build keep an eye out for regular updates on my channel
That's a good job bro..thanks for sharing
You’re absolutely welcome thank you for the positive feedback 👍🤓👍
I love the hula-girl !!! :)
Hi Bruno thank you 😂👍🍻
very nice set up. i like it
Thank you 👍🤓👍🍻
Nice build. And more practical to have a van rather than a boat.
Thank you and yes definitely more practical than a boat 👍🤓👍
Beautiful van well done pal
thank you
Aha a fellow scuba diver too. Love your videos. Thank you so much. Great information and wisdom.
You are too kind.My favourite place to dive in Australia was coral bay WA absolutely beautiful 😍 one day I’ll get to go back there 🤞🤞👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld The Coral Sea near PNG is pretty good. The Solomon Islands blew me away.
@@IrishInAus awww what an amazing experience that must have been I’m jealous now 😁
Looks good Mel, can you register this one as a Motor-caravan without any windows?
I put my fire extinguisher next to the door, because if my van is on fire the first thing I look at is the door! BTW I also have a Maxus. The clutch may fail. If you have any battery issues the odometer may add 800k to the figure. The pipe from the power steering pump to the rack might spring a leak. Don't driver around Spain without power steering and clutch as it's a physical workout!
So do you rate LDV vans in general then cos I've been looking at a few of those? And what happened to this one?
really nice clean job. One question; would it be possible for you to detail the source and cost of the appliances and materials you used in the build. Following your progress. thanks
Hi Barry thank you most of the stuff was secondhand 👍🤓
Great setup ! 2 fan setup seems to be smart idea for keeping cool. I'm also looking to buy a van for conversion, possible a LDV V80. But in Australia LDV are made in China .. uggg!? Still doing my research. Euro vans are very expensive in Oz.
Gday mate thank you for the positive feedback much appreciated.I spent heaps of time in oz (family on the gold coast) 2nd home to me. I have owned and driven all sorts of vans and this LDV is fantastic considering its age I really can't fault it, as far as I know, the vans made in China are made from the same tooling from the UK as we sold the whole lot shock and barrel to them ironically they now sell them back to us I see a brand new one the other day. the only weakness locks there just perfect size to me for conversion I wouldn't hesitate to get another one so easy to work on too. go for a V80 mate just check it over like you would any other van, the two fans do work brilliantly just wish I could slow them down they really do create a wind tunnel lol. good luck, Mel.
Hi m8, can you tell me how you ran your cable from your engine battery to your Split Charge Relay..?
Whereabouts does it go through the engine bay and did you have to remove the dashboard..?
I think the wiring goes over the drivers door and down the side of the windscreen, but where does it go through the engine bay firewall..?
Is it behind the fuse box in the engine bay..?
Hello I think I run it through where the main harness goes through the bulkhead there’s a big rubber boot with cables running through it good luck 🤞
Good on the alarms.
Lily Gazou you only get one life don’t let your camper become your coffin 😬🤙
Mel’s World you convinced me to replace them all.
well done Lily stay safe just hope you never need them :)
who does that package deal you were on about? with the sink and all that ? can you attach a link ! amazing work btw. inspired
hi Sam glad you liked it hope this helps

Lovely van there mate. Really good job. But were is your carsey. Lol
alan brown thanks dude it’s under the bed in the boot when I sleep in I put it inside under the bench but only for emergency lol 🤓🤙
Seen a 2.5L 2018 reg ldv v80 for sale with 68k on the clock. Do garages struggle with working on these and getting parts and what are they like as a van to drive and would you say go for it or danger stay away?
I’d buy it if the price was right 👍
Hi Mel, we're your draw is for your fridge, we're did you get the 'sliders' from? And we're they weight rated?
hi, Alen I got them from Wicks they were rated but can't for the life of me remember what to? there real heavy duty though and have to say I would definitely use them again
Good one mate ..a thing of beauty.. what kinda detector you got then .. im a prospector .. the good stuff ..😁
Rick jobling hay Rick thank you glad you like my camper I have a Excalibur 2 I do love beach hunting for lost rings and things not had much luck in the UK it seams every man and his dog has a metal detector now so I’m heading out to sea treasure hunting just off the beach in the shallows lol.
My dream is to go do some proper prospecting one finding gold in the dirt what an adventure that would be

How did you route the split charge relay mate?
If you open bonnet top left there is a big rubber boot I pushed cable though there 👍
You still got this one mate
Hi no I sold it now 👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld okay mate I've got one and the back doors are a pain to open when they eventually do any ideas
They are great vans the locks do let them down I really can’t help without actually seeing it sorry 😐
By the way the LDV’s going strong in NZ and Australia
That’s good to know 👍 I deliberately but V80 in the description and title to trap an Australian !! Glad I did now 😂👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld lol. I’m Irish.
@@IrishInAus oh well plan B then 😂👍
I'm looking for a van to have as a work van and an overnight van for motorbike events. How far is it from the back of the seats to the back door in the Maxus.
The LDV Maxus is a great van the lwb is just over 3 meters in the back 👍🤓
@@BigVanSmallWorld I can't believe how cheap they are.
Do you take commissions to convert vans,? if so how much with you do charge just for you labour to do another LDV maxus just like yours???
John .Mitch sure no worries to recreate something like this you’re looking at between 4 to 5 k just for labour 🤓🤙
Hey pal how did you find these vans as a step up to a medium size
Absolutely fantastic van only problem I had was the central locking and don’t use a jump pack on a flat battery it buggerd up the mileage reading I’d buy another one definitely
Been offered one for 2k. Thinking of having it as my next project ... next size up from my trafic
How much did you pay for the roof fans and where did you get them
bill hoggy G.day mate I got them from camping international in Rainham Kent I brought them at the same time I think they gave me discount on them was £210 for the pair plus extensions for the opening mechanism they are available on line too.made by fiamma they do a range I would recommend them but get the ones with speed control 🤓🤙
Did you mean Carbon Monoxide not Carbon Dioxide?
Peter Edwards ops yes I did well spotted 🤓🤙
Cooker needs slide out
Dylan Desmond Hi you’re absolutely rite it would have made it that much better.
This was my 2nd attempt at building out a van this way I’m now on my 4th and still learning and improving along the way thanks for watching and positive feedback really appreciated 🤓🤙
Mel’s Van World go heavy duty on slides, you won’t regret it
We are all human and we all know that from time to time everybody needs to use a loo and it amazes me how many van dwellers do not have a porta poti at least in there vans, some say I don't need one some say I use gym or coffee shop or other loos, but what about when you are out in the countryside in the middle of nowhere yes you could go behind a bush or something but if by chance the police happen to be about and they see you you will be arrested, also safety if there was some nutter lurcking about ans=d it could also be raining hard and you need the loo and you may be somebody that goes more often and to just use a bottle or some use a bag and sawdust to me that is rediculas I for one in a van the size you have I would have a medium size porta poti and depending how long you would stay in you van if say you just using it for a few day break then 1 waste tank is enough but say you will be in it for a week or even live in the van full time like lots do have at least 2 porta poti waste tanks until you get to somewhere that you can empty the waste tanks.
so true Philip I never go anywhere without my potty :)
Piss in a milk bottle, shit in a bag in a bowl then put in dog poo bag tie well, then get rid in an appropriate place that be in a bin were dog walkers post there shit, job done! Toilets are a waist of space
