    Don't comment a lot on YT. This by far the best conversion video that I have seen. Amazing skills and so nicely filmed and put together. Fantastic!! 🙂

    This is exactly what I'm looking for. I need a little camper van just for me as somewhere to shack up when I have to go to the office. What a neat little thing, beautifully put together with some clever ideas to maximise the space.

      @WoodandWild It stands for combustable natural gas, so basically it runs on cow poop and dead plants🐄 It's a Fiat Doblo - so a tiny bit smaller I'd say, but not entirely sure. I'm actually filming and posting the build on my channel if you want to have a look😃

      I agree, I'm planning on doing a similar thing to my Citroen Berlingo but I will be putting a "camp kitchen" on a sliding drawer so I can do all my cooking outside. It will just be a little camping gas stove, a water outlet, a prep area and a 12v fridge. Most the space in the van will be for storage and sleeping

    It looks aazing but why did you use so much heavy wood in an electric van.

    • @WoodandWild
      @WoodandWild  29 дней назад

      I actually took it to a weighbridge and the entire conversion only added 200kg Inc the solar, battery, fridge etc. All campers are made from wood Inc factory built, you just have to be smart and not install 4 inch thick worktops 😅

    @lweleven3423 Месяц назад

    The conversation cost more than the van I’m sure having converted 3 myself. For most people this is way over the top so to the viewers this is a high end luxury build you do not need all the high end electrics and kitchen. And your electrics need signing off by a electrician or you may find your insurance is invalid

    Looks like it came from auction. Look under the car for battery damage, as they move cars by forklift and damage batteries with forklift forks, which might be dangerous.

      @@WoodandWild ​ It's probably biggest event in Europe or even world for offroading and overlanding. They have huge spaces for people who come there with their own campers. It took us all day just to walk trough camping places while looking for unique DIY campers. And we haven't managed to see it all. For Expo you need at least couple days if you want to see everything. But with your skills I guess it would be very good to have your own stand there. The only downside is, it is happening in summer time when weather can get very hot. Bad Kissingen is a nice town on it's own. Although there are few more nice towns and places to see nearby. Best thing about Germany regarding campervans, there are dedicated campervan parking lots everywhere, often in the town centers or very beautiful spots. Even if you stay in some parking lot, no one will bother you. It's highly tolerable here.
