Hey! James and Sarah here, back with another episode in our van build series. This week we’re designing and building our unique and bespoke van conversion wardrobe.
It takes a while to get the template right and we make a few mistakes along the way. But in the end our custom DIY van build storage looks amazing - even if we do say so ourselves!
Give it a watch to find out how we constructed our van conversion wall cupboard from just 12mm plywood, panel pins and glue - having never done anything like it before.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this episode don’t forget to smash the thumbs up & don’t forget to subscribe.

Now after watching hundreds of Van build videos this is still the best wardrobe I've ever seen
☺️
His excitement is overwhelming 😂
Can I just say, I love how you compliment each other on your hard work during the van build. It's such a beautiful relationship you two have. To be able to work together in such harmony during tough situations like this is so amazing. Seriously, love the banter you two dish out but also love the way you two complement each other as well! Great video! Looking forward to next weeks video! Sending good vibes your way!
Ah thank you 😊 Although we definitely both had our moments throughout the build, it wasn’t all compliments and banter 😅 wouldn’t want to give a false impression - it was genuinely one of the toughest things we’ve done together! Glad you enjoyed it though, catch you next week 😁
I keep coming back to your cupboard/wardrobe build, great design guys and like you say nothing else like this, absolutely spot on with a lot of very useable storage.
Such a fab design!
there aren't words to describe how awesome this build is. it is exactly what I want in my dream van.
Ah thank you, really appreciate it 😀
That wardrobe turned out so nice! I have literally watched hundreds of van conversions and in many a case its the guy that does the work en the girlfriend who explains afterwards what "they" did. In your case jobs are equally divided and Sarah really has insight and rolls up her sleeves.That's is proper feminism in my book👌! I think I'm in love James😉- Greetings from Flanders - Marc.
Thank you! We actually agreed at the beginning before we started that it would be 100% a joint project and we’d both be getting stuck into everything and taking the lead on different stuff 👍👍
Your wardrobe is epic! The whole van is awesome and I’m going to show it to my husband in my quest to convince him to take up vanlife after he retires. He thinks my teardrop is a hassle, even though I do absolutely everything and all he has to do is pack a guitar and some board shorts, but the all in one nature of a van is something he seems to like.
Thank you 😀 That’s so funny, hopefully you can win him round!
Wow guys, this wardrobe is the business. Great workmanship, you should be proud of yourselves. I always say this but I love your channel. I am putting the windows in next but we are due for rain for the week so have all week to get the anxieties out of the way. Anyway take care and stay safe guys xxx
Thank you so much 😊 We really appreciate the support. Oooh the windows aren’t anywhere as hard as they look, you’ll be grand! We’re hoping this rain isn’t too bad as we’ve got a few bits and pieces to update on the van ourselves 🤪
The cabinet turned our brilliant..
Thank you 😊
Excellent video. So much hard work but worth it in the end. Looks amazing. Bit of laughter is a good thing when it all goes wrong. Well done 👍🌹
Thank you! There are definitely times when you’ve just gotta laugh 😆 We got there in the end though 👍😅
Best wardrobe build ever absolutely beautiful
Love love the wardrobe. I feel for ya James. You just looked so tired....Great job!
Thank you ☺️ The tiredness, the rain, the cold was all really getting to us at this point for sure!
14:35 James is like: Nah just leave me alone with my toys okay?? :D
Amazing job, as always!
🤣 we were really feeling the struggle at this point!
Well done it looks beautiful
Thank you 😊
💕In this your bottom shelf doors open upwards💕Although I’m sure you changed them after realising the problem or was it a mistake💕
Very observant!!! We wondered if anyone would notice that 😅 But yeah you’re absolutely correct, we realised once we moved in and started using them every day that having them open upwards just wasn’t practical as it was more difficult to access the stuff in them. We’ll probably do a follow up video of the stuff we changed when we moved in 😀
Have you done a video on your water system and the bathroom yet?
No sorry, not yet. They should be in the next few weeks. We do have blog posts about both of those on our website already if you haven’t seen them though, linked below 👍

Love the wardrobe. Goosing great all round. Cheers from Canader eh!
Thank you 😊
It's a lovely morning while dressed in so many layers your shape changed 😂
🤪 that’s British weather for you!
I just found you guys about a month ago… I absolutely love your attitudes and personalities and of course your van. The one thing I would ask you to consider is that there are too many interruptions for commercial breaks, to the point where sometimes you guys get interrupted in the middle of a sentence or conversation. I know there are economic considerations, but I would ask you to please consider having a little fewer break ups in your film… Thank you so much for sharing with the rest of us! I will be watching each week, and I will probably hate commercial breaks even if you reduce them! Thanks for brightening my morning❤️
Hi! Thanks for watching and we really appreciate the considered way that you’ve put this to us. We’re total newbies at RUclips so haven’t ever looked into the advertising side of things, other than to turn them on and set them to what RUclips recommends.
We also, as you can probably imagine, don’t watch our own videos 😂 So we’ve not experienced it from your side of the lens and this is just about the first time we’ve had someone mention this. We’ll have to do some learning on how the advertising works (probably overdue anyway) and try to find a better balance ☺️
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing Maybe the best part of all this is that none of us are experts and this is totally your channel to do anything with that you want! I just watch, I do not produce content! You guys are already way ahead of me! Thank you again!
We want it to be as good an experience as possible to watch so will look into it this week. And whilst it’s our name on the channel, we want it to be everyone’s who watches as well so feedback like this is really helpful ☺️
How have you found the doors and draws holding up a few years on? Have they warped at all being only 6mm?
I’m slightly copying your design, but going with just 2 cupboard doors with shelves I can adjust on pegs.
Thanks for the ideas 👍🏼👍🏼
Am building one with a 14 plate lwb sprinter and will never be to the same level
Honestly we had zero skills when we started so just took lots and lots of time over it so it’s definitely doable! What stage are you at with it? We’re sure it will turn out great 👍😀
How many layers of primer and how many layers of the paint did you do in the end? Thanks:)
Sarah, don't listen to James's pronunciation of fascia! You were right in earlier videos!
Fay she a
Noooooooo 😂🤣🤣🤣 (James here 😅) Sarah’s very happy you’ve sided with her though 😀
😂
Are u selling the measurements?😍👍
No! 😅 It’s not really possible since each piece was cut down to fit the exact space it’s in
