- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- A little Mini Series! My Step Father has owned this 2016 Caddy for a year or so now and it was a little cold and noisy for daily driving so I offered to sound deaden, Insulate & Carpet the rear to help with this.
Hardly a step by step guide but will hopefully help someone!

Hey Dan, watching this video in 2024 now aha mad so you probs wont see this, but im in the process of doing my own caddy build and you bulk head and invisible clips trick has fix two worries I was having so thank you! all the best :)
You make these jobs look effortless and easy to do and this has made a nice change from all that metal work you've been doing lately top job fella
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Richard. Glad you enjoyed the content. It did make a nice change!
Excellent work as usual Dan. Get yourself a caddy project so you can take a break from the golf project when needed!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Colin. Glad you enjoyed it. I think I need to. You guys seem to want to see it and I really enjoyed this one!
Awesome mini series. It's good for you to get a break and the daily uploads are great! Hope you have some ideas for the next mini series. Looking forward to watching the future vids!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. Glad you enjoyed it! It was really nice to have a break from the Golf. Daily uploads was a right pain 🤣 Got an idea for another series.
The soldering iron trick 👍 you sir are a Legend.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Adam. Decent little trick isn't it!
Great work Dan, as usual. Handy having a massive table to work on!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Rob. Yes the bench make sit much easier than on the floor. It is just a pair of tressle's and a piece of MDF!
Keeping it fresh with this mini project mate loving it
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Jeremy. Yes, The channel got a little stale with just the Golf and views dropped right off.
All your videos are very watchable and well made. Respect to you.
Can see that going back to what you know has given you a real buzz! Keep up the great channel DC 🤙🏻
On and you now need to explain to my wife why I’m eBay’ing caddies 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment David! Funny isn't It! I am a totally different person when I know what I am doing. Oh, Apologies to you your wife and your bank balance 🤣
Look forward to seeing a full series on one of there's. 👍🤞
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Kristen. Hopefully I can find a project van next year!
I did exactly what you did and cut in to the front, I've seen this video I don't know how many times and still I'm a spanner
Thanks Dan. I have just done mine using all these vids. Best out there
Looks mega mate! Would love to see you do a full series when/if you get your own caddy!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Freddie. I think I need to get on the hunt for a project van!
One thing about those fir tree clips for the headliner... The are very secure. So much so that trying to get them out without doing some damage to the headliner is not so easy. Had to drop my headliner to modify some led lights and even with a trim clip removal tool kit still managed to trash the ply around one of the holes and slightly split a few others.
Great stuff Dan. I used the same trick on bulkhead in my Vito. Steel bulkhead in mine thought so took a bit longer 😂loving the videos 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment James. 🤣 Yeah I can imagine that took a little longer and was a lot louder!!!
Brilliant videos so much info thanks
Absolutely brilliant Dan. Well in, great job 👍👍👍🥇
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud.
Van looks great, you make it all look so easy too.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. Glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant Dan you’ve a real talent and the videos are class ,looking forwards to receiving my T-Shirt 👊🏻😀
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. So glad you are enjoying the content and Thank you so so much for ordering. Hopefully you like the T-shirt.
Love the videos,
just thought id share a little tip for repairing plastics, not that you need to as you have already carpeted and fitted the bulkhead trim, could be handy in the future though.
the damage done to the plastic with the air saw is easily fixed with a little bit of mitre bond (CA glue), scotch brite,aerosol,. a form of 'cold welding' plastic.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. Great little tip that! I will remember that one.
Love it, Dan and great idea to do the website for merch’. Nice one, bud👍
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Alex. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes the website was much needed. Doing it through DM's was getting painful.
Hi mate great job am now off to try and do my own, definitely get hold of a caddy of your own and do that 👍🏻
Nice job Dan, really tidy.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud.
Re watching all your vids now I’ve ordered a caddy haha
Lovely Jubbly, all the best for Christmas, and let's hope the channel grows and grows in the New Year.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Paul. I hope you had a good one. I really hope the channel grows more in the new year! The bigger it get's the better the projects will be!
I plastic welded the valley on the back of the bulkhead trim at the top. It meant I could sand it right back and avoid any ridges at the top of the trim piece.
You gotta be happy with that. Great job.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud.
Dan just checked out the new website looks great, I also bagged one of the t shirts looks really smart...a really good selection to get you started...
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Mark. Thank you so so much for the order! Hopefully you like the T!
Great work dan. Followed you from day one. Love it👌👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. Glad you are enjoying it,. Thank you so much for the support.
Nice Dan. Made that look easy!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Matt. Simple and cheap way to sort it!
Brilliant really looking forward to doing my van now with your videos so happy to watch
maybe cahnge seats for turning seats and make the place bigger. add a matteras and some curtains on windows screen
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Pat. I did ask about changing seats but my Step Father is happy with the original seats. With regards to mattress etc, It would only ever be slept in 1 weekend a year if any!
Another brilliant video, enjoyed watching. Great tips and results 👊🏻
Love this channel Dan, great stuff 🙂🇮🇪
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Alan. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great series really helpful thanks dude!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Dave. Glad you enjoyed it.
Looking ace Dan! 👌
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud.
Great transformation 😎👍
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Andrew.
I found coating the wood with pva or varnish stopped the glue soaking into the wood & not sticking so well, also stops the wood soaking up any moisture & warping .
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Matthew. Yes PVA/Varnish would help. As this is not going to be slept in etc I didn't feel the need to seal the ply.
done a top job there Dan nice one
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud.
Great work Dan
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Nathan.
Outstanding work love it thanks for showing us from Richard in Cardiff

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Ian. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job . You can come to Ireland and do my caddy anytime 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Daniel. If you are paying I will be there!!!!
Hi Dan I love your attention to detail you're a true pro!! I'm a total novice so asking a basic question please can you tell me, 1) what are the tools that you used to cut back the bulkhead, I didn't quite catch what you said? 2) My son's caddy conversion is going to be slept in would you recommend a vapour barrier, I've seen others add that prior to the final finish. Thanks so much.
I bought a car like this, this month. And I want to carpet it also. It looks so nice.
But i want to spray it, with another color. To look more friendly, and not so dark.
Wish I watched this a week ago. I cut the top bit worse than yours 😔 was going to buy another bulk head but now I'll just carpet instead
Hi Dan fantastic work , soldering iron is top drawer! What length of fir trees for roof ?
Awesome job there mate! Do you do it for customers too?
Hello a great work👍👍👍from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai
Thank you bro!
Just purchased a caddy swb id love this done but not sure id be skilled enough to do it how much it cost for it to be done thanks brilliant job
Do your regular subs get a discount code on merch ?
If ya dont ask and all that😉
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. I hadn't thought about it! I will have to add something to the site.
Hi Dan, great video and series as a whole, really informative and helpful as it about to get cracking on my t5 camper conversion. I’m looking to use 6mm ply to line my t5, do you think the clips you used on the headlining would work with 6mm ply? I’ve seen most hidden clips only work with thinner ply but would like to use 6mm as it’s a bit more sturdy!
Thanks a mill
Conall 🚀
Hi bud, Glad you have enjoyed it and glad they have been useful. 6mm Should work with the fir tree clips. Personally I think 3mm works better as it forms to the curve of the van easier and doesn't put pressure on the clips trying to straighten. It's not really doing anything other than covering the walls to warrant 6mm over 3mm.
Many hidden clips work on 3mm panels as that is thickness of the clip. These are different to the ones dan used as they fit in after you have carpet lined the panel. You can use a router to rebate the 6mm ply 3mm down so the clip is essentially clipping onto 3mm thickness. 6mm ply should be fine but as the clips will be under pressure. This can ne alleviated if needed with kerf cuts in the ply on the rear. As Dan mentioned 3mm is fine as its just panel covers. If you are hanging items on them or making furniture as we do, we use 6mm for a stronger foundation. All the best👍
Top banana, cheers man
Caddy conversion with vr32
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud. Now that would be a project!
Good to know: Larger clips needed.
If you want to mount a carpeted plywood, instead of the simple cardboard.
Because it is thicker, and has much more weight.
If clips are not strong enough, you need to screw in.
Hiya, anyone know what size firtree clips to hold the ceiling in? Ta
Hey mate , been watching your videos closely as I'm currently doing the same with my caddy . Can I ask how much carpet you used to do the whole van please ? As I'm unsure on how much I will need . Thanks again and keep up the good work 🤟
Cheers bud, I thin I mention it in the last episode of this series. I think I used 8m?
@@DanChambersDAC yea I eventually did come across that bit . All done now , apart from I buggered up the a / b pillar cut outs so on the lookout for a new bulkhead 🙈 . Great work though mate , keep it up 🤟
Great vid
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Lawrence.
Great vid mate should do a caddy series what carpet you using you got a link and how much did u use thanks
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud! I Think I need to get on the hunt for a project Caddy! I got the Mega Stretch Carpet from Mega Van Mats. I used 8m.
Hi can I ask when you used insulation in the van is it safe around the wires or do we need to cover wires for fire hazard. My son converting caddy and just wanted to ask the questions. Your video was much appreciated. But I carnt see if you cover wires with anything. Would be grateful for advice. Its his 1st project and want him to be safe.
Hi, I have converted a few van's an have alway's just put the insulation in with the wiring. Never had a problem.
Hello Dan thanks for the videos. Going to help me get started on my van. Have you got a link to the fir tree clips. ?
Did you find the right ones?? I need some
Hi there,how much sound deadening and carpeting was used to do the rear section of the panelvan PLEASE,
Hi, sorry this was well over a year ago. I would advise to contact Dodo Mat as they can advise.
and have you got a link to the tree clips used on the roof panel?
8mm Fir Tree clips on eBay.
How much mm did you use for the first tree clips? 😁
get a caddy project going
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Adam. Will be on the look out for one in the new year!
Hi mate how did you fill in the cutting mistake? I’ve only gone and done the same mistake?
Wouldn’t it be worth soundproofing the cab roof area as well?
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Dave. In hindsight, Yes. When stated this project was only ever a quick sound deaden and carpet to the rear. After the rear had been nearly done it was decided to do the front.
Hey! What size length x width was the nee roof 3mm plywood?
Dude where do you get your carpet from?
I use Mega Van Mats 4 Way Stretch for the walls bud.
Est-il possible de savoir la marque de la moquette s’il vous plaît ?
Fire content chapo and first eee err
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Bud.
