CamperVanTango wow, I want to ride with you guys!
Hi guys. I love this build and have just bought a Citroen relay and will be looking to do similar if that's ok. Is this van an L3 or l4 thanks
Lots of hard work. Well done. Adventure awaits!
Wow! It looks huge. I can't believe how much you can comfortably fit in a small space!
looks beautiful i really like all the white in the interior makes it looks like a real apartment
Thank you very much for such a nice comment! Hope we don't have to keep painting it if it gets dirty hehe! Been a lot of hard work - we have six week until we get to try it out on our trip so stay posted and we'll see how we get on when it's put into practice and it will be interesting to see if we need to make any adaptations! :-)
CamperVanTango awesome yea only time can tell how it will hold up but hopefully it will stay white :D I have subscribed so I'm looking forward to follow your journey! :)
Looking fantastic guys!
rickvanman Thanks soo much Rick we were very excited to see your comment ! We love the videos that you do keep them coming :-)
Love the white..makes it seem so much larger and so clean feeling.
Great build!
Pamela L. Green thank you yes we wanted to keep it light coloured and feel more spacious inside and have a homely feel to it, i think the pictures make a lot of difference to how it feels, it's just like home to us 😁
Great job! I really like it. All the best from Texas.
Ruth Ann Sayger much appreciated :-) thank you x
your Van looks amazing.. the finishes are like it was bought completely like that in a store :)
Quest for Freedom thanks so much - would have been much quicker that way hahaha 😀
Nice conversion! Looks very cozy! Thnx for sharing! 'Keep-On-A-Rocking-N-A-Rolling' :)
HappyTimesVan Thank you very much and yes we are dancing tonight at a milonga in France :-)

Nickole Strike thank you so much ❤️ 🤗

J Rowe Cheers! It was fun to do - great to be able to design the layout ourselves too :-)
hermoso muy lindo ,,!!!saludos desde uruguay...
elcharruas1686 Hola Uruguay :-) Muchas Gracias!!!
Hi guys! Very nice build and layout. love the white! greetings from Norway 😊
Thank you very much :-) We're doing a few more finishing touches and soon hope to post a short video of us explaining the features and doing a 'tour' around it :-)
That would be great :) Me and my girlfriend are also dancers, and compeet in a Swedish style swingdance called "Bugg". We are also travelling long distances to workshops and competitions in Sweden in our custom made Sprinter van. I am currently re-building it, and got lots of ideas from your van :) Same "problem" you do with clothes ;) I envy those extra 55 cm length you guys have on your van. Our van is "only" 591 cm. Have a great day, look forward to following your tour :)
Tor Rikard Lie Haha glad to hear we are not the only crazy people! Good luck with your travelling and dancing and the extra 55!!! All the best stay in touch :-)
wow thats awesome
Awesome van to live
You guys did such a wonderful job!! When do you plan to hit the road and where are you going?? We'll be in Scandinavia July-September 🚐🙌🏼🌟
Thank you very much for your wishes - glad to see you will be on the road again in September good luck with that and we'll look forward to your videos :-) We'll be heading through France mainly, a little in Spain and Portugal mid-March to Mid-May, it may be a little cold to start with but hopefully will warm up :-)
This is my favourite camper, neat and clean, everything's organised so well, simply beautiful. Start a series of trips, I'd love to see more.
I just wanted to know it for so long that why can't we put water tanks on the roof of the van? I NEVER saw anyone doing that and was curious to know abt it.
it would make the van quite unstable, as the water weighs a lot and would swish from side to side in the tank increasing its effect on destabilising the van. that;s not to say someone hasn't tried it.
I did think a large thin and flat tank on the roof for heating the water with the sun might be an ok idea--
omg this is fab
Joanna Pocock Thank yooooouuuu 😁
so nice.......best i have seen........
Very nice :)
Learn with Lewis Thank you ☺️
35k views ! wow
I want to live here! :)
Иван Чудов Thank you :)
Looks amazing! I love the white! What is the brand of fridge you have there I've never seen it before? Do you have the detailed specifications for it?
Hi, The cool box type fridge is a 3way Dometic RC1600 Carbon Gas Portable Cooler, UK spec, it works off gas, 240v and 12v. we decided to co for this because we didn't want to cut vents/flue holes in the side of the van we plan to use it mostly with 12v and 140v but we can also run it off a small gas canister outside the van as a backup as we can easily unplug it and lift it out. The cost was also 3 times cheaper than an equivalent 3way fridge. Hope this helps and thank you for your lovely comments :) PS a lot of people will think we were crazy to go with white but we don't have a dog or children and used Kitchen Cupboard paint so it wipes clean, put several coats on so we hope it lasts and can always re-paint it, a lot of campervans use dark wood but we wanted to keep it light and bright.
How much did the equipment and materials cost to build this?
I'm back with another question :) for the bed where you recess it into the sides, did you put any insulation into that area or left it clean to get maximum depth? I am 180/181cm and really want to put my bed in this way round to save on space but I know it's tight. If you left the insulation out do you feel cold effects there at all? Thanks
Hi, yes i did insulate them but the insulation was stuck directly to the van wall if you watch my van build guide video it shows pictures of what i did link here ruclips.net/video/QAqdb6ePxG0/видео.html go watch them all 😁
Lovely van! Did you Stixall-a-flex the battens for the bed or screw those in? Thanks.
Hi the bed frames were made to be able to be removed by lifting them out, so no they are just placed in and rest on the 2 brackets at each end. ☺️
Many thanks, and thanks for putting this video together.
Thank you, we are long overdue a new video which we will be putting together soon glad you like it 🙂
Looks really nice have you been anywhere in it? I'm think about converting a van this year 😊
Thank you so much! Other than a test run we haven't been anywhere yet but are planning a long trip. For more information about how we did it, why and where we are going we've set up a blog on Facebook 'CampervanTango' if you'd like to check it out. Good luck with your van, if you're thinking of converting check out the SBMCC forum on the internet - this has all sorts of advice on it.
What van size did you use as the base?
Hi, its a 6m Citroen relay L3H2 hope this helps 😉
How much it cost all this work
Fuad Hasan lots and lots of man hours so it's difficult to quantity :-)
nice. but I have never come across a van with this layout wide enough to sleep stretched out.
Malcolm Smith Hi Andy is 5foot 10, the bed is built into the reveals in the side of this van (178cm tall) and it's fine for him there's afew inches to spare - depends how tall you are I guess lol!
Andy is 5ft 10ins (around 178 cm) it's fine for him with a few inches square - depends how tall you are, this is a Citroen Relay which is one of the widest ones we could find lol!
CamperVanTango hi,thanks for your reply. Yes,I noticed the bed had been "built-in". Good idea and well executed. Unfortunately I'm one of those buggers that move around in their sleep and would need just a little more length to really sleep comfortably. But that's my problem. Great design and build, I wish you many happy years in it.
