  • Camper conversion from start to finish on our Ford Transit Custom Trail. We started with an empty panel van, added insulation, interior walls and roof paneling with custom detailing and then some awesome campervan furniture. Hope you guys enjoy the video!
    Drop a comment or ask us any questions about what we did, hopefully this will help you in your van build.
    On the outside we went with bigger wheels and all terrain tyres, with roof and side bars to complete the look!

    It’s a fantastic set up this. I’ve got a call booked with you guys to look at a sinilar set up except i’m not a mountain biker so i’ll be utilising the space differently. I’m hoping you can supply and install within my budget and if not, i can at least get the bones of it installed then get the rest when I can! Great work!

    I like this set up, where do you put your bike though when it’s set up as a bed? Would it be possible to have it on the near side wheel arch?

    • @theplyguys
      @theplyguys  2 года назад

      yeah it sits on top of the near side wheel arch 'clachan' unit, we remove the front and back wheels.

    Do you prefer the transit custom to other available vans at the moment? I can’t stomach the inflated prices of T5/T6’s at the moment so looking for an alternative.

    The roof panels are awesome! Do you secure them straight to the pillars with sheet-metal piercing screws or do you use wood joists?

    • @theplyguys
      @theplyguys  2 года назад

      So those are our own ones but we dont sell them on the website at the moment due to how hard they are to ship. They are available as part of a full build or other furniture products and you can collect them from our shop in Glasgow too.

      @jamesbanwell4567 2 года назад +1

      @@theplyguys cool, thanks for the reply, is there any way to find out prices etc? You may as well advertise them as the roof & floor panels need to be collected anyway.

    • @theplyguys
      @theplyguys  2 года назад

      yeah its a tricky one as they need to be made to measure and fitted on site as every van build is different and always throws up some kind of issue or needs to be tweaked or changed while we're fitting. This is one of the reasons we don't offer them as a stand alone product on the site and more as part of a full build. It would be great if they were just plug and play, hope that makes sense!

    what kind of insulation do you use for the car?
    so far I've only heard about "alubutyl" (against vibrations) and "armaflex" (cold/heat insulation) and for both products you almost have to take out a loan from the bank 🤬

    Hi ply guys 👋 😊 thank you very much for this great video! I am about to embark on a van conversion very soooooon and soak up any information like a sponge 🧽 😂. Forgive my ignorance, but, what type of screws do you use to fasten all the wall panels to the chassis frame ? I am wondering how this works without creating unnecessary holes and keep everything securely fastened ? Are these self taping screws ? 🛠 🧰 thank you 🙏

    • @theplyguys
      @theplyguys  2 года назад
