    Volkswagen Crafter campervan wind deflectors. Modification. Vanlife.
    Hi guys! Today we are fitting wind deflectors on our Volkswagen crafter campervan. We are having modifications done for the self build VW campervan build. The self build conversion as part of the VW swamper we are converting with our self build campervan. This is what vanlife is about. The wind deflectors will allow ventilation in yiur campervan and allows you to keep yiur window open while camping. Today we give you big news about what we are doing next. We also tell you about the modifications we are doing with our VW crafter campervan. One of the things we need to fo with our VW campervan is get the leisure battery done and get a heater to allow us to travel more. Lots to do today. Must watch video! Please share this video.

    Wouldn't be easier to have your sure power cable hook up mounted under the van rather than poking it through the window .seeing as your spending as this money on a fantastic van set up why settle for half measures. If a jobs worth doing ,do it once and do it right.👍

    • @dubventures
      @dubventures  2 года назад +2

      Hi. We do not need a hook up with the conversion we are doing. I was saying if we need to use it we could do that. 🙂

    • @shanewaller2864
      @shanewaller2864 2 года назад

      Fare enough, the swamper I'm having built is having a 2 battery set up with a 2,000 watt inverter, its also having sure power .I've not gone down the solar power route as I don't think I will be that much off grid to require it . Its great to see how your build is coming along. I look forward to the new video 👍

What works 8n my van prob wudnt work in yours etc. The first thing my mate said to me when he saw my van was where would you put your fishing rod? I said considering I've never been fishing and never will I don't care 🤷 🙃

    You did well there with the wind defectors, they are a nightmare to put in but absolutely so worth it. Always have our windows open about quarter of an inch each side and get great ventilation when parked up. And of course on the motorway stops the dreaded buffering of wind around the cab. One of the best cheapest mods mate

    Van looking better and better.
    I'm thinking having a hook up point under the bonnet would make your life easier rather than running the cable through the site window.
    When Brendon will be connecting leasure battery with main one, he might as well add the hook up on.
    Just the suggestion and our experience from the past.
    Thanks for the vid.
    Look after yourself guys. K🤙

    The best place I have seen for the hook up point was behind the VW badge on the front but it was on a T6.1 and not a Crafter but I'm sure you would be able to buy one for it.
