    Well done you've done a lovely job on your Camper it's also given me a chance to get things sorted for my Ford transit Camper called Soul Weekender.

    What a lovely conversion, you've really thought out how to fit everything in yet not compromise on space, I've watch other people build van conversions and must say yours looks to be one of the best I've seen.

      I think it came out so good thanks to the size of the van also. They didn’t sacrifice a thing. All was made very nice.🎉

    @andrewyuill7314 10 месяцев назад

    I’ve just bought a 2019 LWB Crafter which myself and my dad are going to convert. The lay out I have in mind is very similar to yours however I’m not re-thinking it after seeing your build. My plan was to have a double bed lower down probably just above wheel arches and retractable double top bunk. When not in use the bunk will just look like a fixed single bunk but will extend out to a double. I’ve so glad I have found this video as I was a little unsure about some of the plans I had including the Truma combi boiler and the maxxair skylight fan and the dome fan in the toilet. Brilliant build guy's, if mine comes out anything like this I’ll be over the moon!

    Well, I've watched lots of videos from the van builders and I think you might have thought of a few ideas that might interest them. I like the toilet aroma outlet and the diagonally laid 'wood' on the rear doors. You've thought out the 90°rotation on the cooker really well. I like how you've separated the living area from the bedrooms, apart from your son's bed, that is. You got a really fantastic one-off van and I think it's great! Are you planning to work whilst you're traveling? How long do you home-school for each day? Thanks for another excellent - I'll be calling you Bill and Ted next!! - vlog!
