Great conversation. Not enough conversions for families with more than 4. The quality of the fit out and the thought of what is really necessary really shows. My ideal van that. Well done 👌
@@THQAutomotive the alternating bunk arrangement into a sofa is a great use of space. I would need some form of garage space also, so would be interesting to see if it could be lifted slightly to give some storage space? I guess you went through all these options👍🏼
@@savvysurveyor5318 Yes, under the back bunk is the A/C and heating. If you didn't have A/C or had roof mounted A/C and moved the heater, this would free up that space there as a small garage.
@@jankaskyevitchjellbet7293 it seems most companies go with the double bed at the back, set up. I've not seen many with space for children. Not 4 children anyway 😜
Fantastic looking van worth waiting for I bet you’re glad you ordered the wrong length and you still added to the length inside and out will set out keep safe everyone through the summer don’t rush you’ll get there anyway 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Have an 1983 Dodge 50 which im converting, i appreciate your videos for insights & ideas the pop up room is amazing & definately a possibility. Thank you both for sharing .
Fantastic van Andy it looks brilliant, if I had the space I would have bought new crafter. But my driveway wouldn't allow it .so I bought a brand new t6.1 swomper instead 👍
Was WAITING for SOMEONE to do the XLWB Model, I used to Drive Lorries [Class1] But we also had VW Vans the early LT35s XLWB Jeez the room in the back was HUUUGE And they NEVER Broke down. I;d like to see someone do the NEW Crafter XLWB DSG [8speed] And take it to DARKSIDE For a Mild Tune, Then do the Conversion [That is MY DREAM BUILD]. Best wishes on your success [South Wales].
@@THQAutomotive i wanted too as well but the wheelbase is that long ive nearly beached a couple of times and my water tank is the lowest point in the middle
Love the “chill box”, and how coy the builder is. “Chill” is parent code for other activities, eh mate!? Just wondering how much washing and squeaking is going on during that time, and if the kids kids have clued in, or have told you that they already know what’s going on. Safe travels!
It's an e-grille. We stock them on our website. Are also sell the eco flow river, they are also in stock and on our website. There are links in the description text of this video.
That looks so roomy. I'll be looking for a similar sized van for a music studio/gaming build. I've got some costing done and rough plans. Now it's time to look for remote jobs to get the ball rolling, get an RSA (Australia) so I have the option to work in pubs/bars, another option is fruit picking, etc.
This is cool :) thanks for sharing. I believe I remember you said it runs on oil (not electric)-how did you mount the ev charger behind the logo, is that 3d printed too? :o sorry if you referred to a video on that
That's like Tesla cameras. I'd be tempted to powdercoat that side door runner black. If the sunstrip said Crafter HQ i'd order one. Significant difference in height for legs under the table! Love the colour so much. Very curious about the weight and water tanks.
Hi guys, great van and great to see room for a full family in larger van! We have a VW Grand, do you think you could retrofit a swivel bench up front as would love to seat 5 if we could. Thanks
Love the van! From another dad of 4 - it’s definitely inspirational!! Out of interest, do you have any rough dimensions of the Reimo seat both as a seat and as a bed? I’d like to model it up in sketchup!
Hello! Your truck is great ! We are bringing in a crafter and we are looking for a system to rotate the front seats. What brand is your system and where did you purchase it?
،،nice one, how much horse power or kilo Watts, how many passenger? We are big family 8 persons, does need special diving licence? Thank you so much fir answering these important details. Thr eingin size, is it sport van, does it need modifications if one asks for stronger eingin. It's nice camper as it looks in the video.
We sell them on our UK and EU website. They are only designed for the New Crafter though. They wouldn't work with anything else because of the badge shape. Sorry
Did you ever get it on a weighbridge and find out the unladen weight? I’m looking at a van to use for some building work, then convert to a camper afterwards. An XLWB crafter has appeared, but I’m wary of the all up weight once done
It looks amazing and it has some nice details, but I can not help but wonder... when your vehicle is 8 meters long (incl. the rear-box) and it will easily weigh 4 tonnes or more, is a transporter than still the right choice? I'd assume a real caravan would then be more comfortable and offer more space with the only drawback of being more ugly. Btw: your 1050kg rims are likely just not enough for this vehicle, after adjusting the weight above the 3.5t.
Never fear, I have a class 2 licence so I've had it up rated and fitted VB air rear suspension to take the extra weight. The wheels are still rated enough to cover the extra capacity. I'm currently in Italy at Lake Garda in it and it's been a dream for a family of 5. Much nicer and less stressful than lugging a caravan around. I've done that before across Spain and this is so much more pleasurable. Plus it looks incredible. The downside is people want to stop and talk about it at every stop 😂
Hello! Awesome build! Is there any chance you could share some info about the camera system? Is that something already available on market or total custom-built solution?
The electrical hookup in the vw badge is class. Love ittt
Yeah it's a cool little feature :)
Great conversation. Not enough conversions for families with more than 4. The quality of the fit out and the thought of what is really necessary really shows. My ideal van that. Well done 👌
As much as we love the standard fixed double bed at the rear, this was always designed with family in mine. I'm rear pleased with how it turned out.

That without doubt the best camper set up I’ve seen. I’d love to own it if I was living over there.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Oh wait, where are u? N these companies making all the fab stuff?
@@jangayle5849 We're in the UK
Probably the best Crafter/ Sprinter sized conversion I have seen. Top top work!
It's a monster that's for sure. Thanks for your kind words.
Great walkthrough of a beautiful and practical conversion Andy - top job
Thanks Martin. Can't wait to get out and use it now.
Possibly the best van conversion I've seen to date...great job👍👊
Thanks David 🙌💛
I really want those Crafter Headlights for the Transporter, they're my absolute favourite of any you do.
Which Transporter do you have. We're working on some new lights at the moment?
Looks fantastic Andy! Great family luxury camper van! 👍
Thanks Shaun. Looking forward to seeing the progress on yours.

I actually don't know how we would have done it with the XLWB. So glad I made the mistake when ordering.
Man the van the color just caught my eyes. Love it inside and out
Big changes coning soon. Keep watching
those solar panels gonna fall on top sleeping person during uk winds xx

People just think its a DHL delivery van I think! haha.
Fantastic conversion and we are very pleased to hear that the 360˚ camera system meets your expectations, thanks!
One of my favourite thing's about the build. It really is a great bit of kit :)

Thank you for a God rewiew! It was interesting! Hello from Russia
Great to see these videos by a British RUclipsr
Thank you 🙏
What an awesome van, you clearly have thought about what you need/desire 👍
Thank you. Yes it took a lot of planning and taping things out on the floor to work the layout,
That's my dream Crafter right there - what a build!
Wanna do a magazine feature? ;)
@@THQAutomotive that could work.... have you guys done any before? ;)
@@glennrowswell3007 One or two... haha
Very nice indeed, I’ve converted a Mercedes sprinter xlwb…..very interested in those lights!! Brilliant video dude
Great conversion! I love the camera system and the way it changes camera with the indicators 👏🏼
Yeah it's a great bit of kit from trailer vision
Hey und liebe Grüße aus Eisenach ❤.Ihr macht einem guten Job ☀️ein sehr schöner Camper 😉👌🤝

Looks really really nice
Cheers mate. Hope you're getting out plenty in yours.

The only thing missing is "School Bus" down the side! Only joking! It looks cool.
Really good looking van, so long! 😀
It's rather large isn't it 😛
great job andy, as usual
Thanks 😊 🙌
Youve sold it to me in 6 mins 😂😂💗 mint camper mate.👏👏

Thanks Ian. We're so pleased with how it came out.
ah now see why have a MWB I got LMB but now thinking of selling for the ELWB so hope a nice conversion
So much room for activities
@@THQAutomotive so sorry but I do not like the conversion sorry.
@@googlelimp9834 no need to say sorry. We all have our own taste.
@@THQAutomotive exactly I don't have kids. So I only need a double bed until one pops lol 😆

@@THQAutomotive i tried to find this one on your website with no success. Does the T6 one fit on Crafter as well ?
@@AdrianSinner97 yes it's the T6 version. It just needs a little extra cutting. It's obvious when you come to do it.
That looks so roomy. I'll be looking for a similar sized van for a music studio/gaming build. I've got some costing done and rough plans. Now it's time to look for remote jobs to get the ball rolling, get an RSA (Australia) so I have the option to work in pubs/bars, another option is fruit picking, etc.
Great video. What’s the make of seat that turns into a bed?
Thank you. It's a Reimo bed
looks great. Just started building a an xlwb myself. i will wave if i pass you.
Good luck with your build 😊
Looks Amazing I think that is the route I would like to take
It took a lot of planning but we're really pleased with the outcome.
Nice build, what did you use for the camera system?
That’s it one hell of a nice camper van.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's a factory colour called chrome yellow
Incredible!! Love it.

Stunning
Thank you ☺️
What is the weight of the van in drive condition? Are 3.5 tons possible with load?
@Transporter HQ great idea about the roof tent with the panels! Has the tent been on the van at all times? How has it held up?
Yeah 2 years in and going strong :)
Hi guys, great van and great to see room for a full family in larger van! We have a VW Grand, do you think you could retrofit a swivel bench up front as would love to seat 5 if we could. Thanks
Awesome looking build 👍 good luck parking at asda😂 I’m very interested in the roof tent? Do you sell these please? 🎉
This will be going no where near an Asda carpark! Haha. This roof tent is from Tentbox direct. Google them.
Love the van! From another dad of 4 - it’s definitely inspirational!!
Out of interest, do you have any rough dimensions of the Reimo seat both as a seat and as a bed? I’d like to model it up in sketchup!
From memory is 120cm wide and 6ft long
Briliant van!
Thank you, we're really pleased with the finished results.
hi love it all how do you get cctv working?
Looks awesome
Certainly more spacious and light than my 6 berth
A lot more room than I'm used to in a transporter
How tall are you? Im asking couse I have 2m and I wonder if I could fit in Crafter L5h3 (196cm high).
Super Conversion. Where can I get more info on Romatech beds? Cheers. Keep up the good work.
Speak to CMC Reimo. If you google them, they'll find them
If you are ever selling, let me know, I'll come view it, nice work !! Thanks
It'll likely be for sale at the end of summer next year.
@@THQAutomotive excellent, I'm not pulling your chain, if you can keep my details, I'd travel to view it at selling time, cheers!

@@THQAutomotive My Crafter is from 3/21!
I have looked on the Website it is four T6 and T6.1 but you use it in the same Crafter i have… Is it posible that i can us it to? 🙋🏻♂️
@@walterf.4055 We use the T6 version. It just needs some small modifications. Its easy to see where when installing it
May I ask were the sliding 3 person bench is from and how its connected to the floorbase. Cant find any similar system
Could the 3 bench rock and roll bed fit in the rear too but face the other way as in with the back against the side of the van making a 9 seater?
Not really. The Crafter isn't 6 ft wide and thats how long the bed is.
Did you ever get it on a weighbridge and find out the unladen weight?
I’m looking at a van to use for some building work, then convert to a camper afterwards. An XLWB crafter has appeared, but I’m wary of the all up weight once done
Yes its over weight so had to be up rated
