    Fab! Another belting video. Been waiting for this one to see how you did the seat, I'm copying most of what you're doing. I think I'm gonna have 2 seats at each side with a Lagun table in the middle that will convert to a single so essentially I'll have either 2 singles or 1 double. I'll be travelling mostly on my own being single and need a spare single bed for friends who may tag along but still retain the pull out double for Grindr friends lol

      Haha that’s flexible layout to the max! Sounds like a great idea though, and we did consider the opposite seats with a table in between. Glad you liked the video and thanks for following our build. Hoping to speed up the editing on the videos now it’s cold and wet outside 😂

    Its coming along nicely! Still in 2 minds whether I get a van or not, its only just occurred to me I don't really have anywhere to convert it! I got a car parking space but if its raining got no where to cut or draw on large materials as well as no electricity at the car parking space!

      Thanks. Yeah I must say if we didn’t have the garage as a dumping ground I don’t know what I’d do! People do convert them on the street or with no garage but I can’t imagine how!

      I have no garage, I can sometimes park in my back alley to get close to the yard and electrics but mostly I work from the street. It's a pain in the arse but doable. Especially when oddball neighbours, who's only experience of camper van is a week in Towyn, bob their head in to tell you how you should do it lol.
      I bought a generator for when I had to work out of reach of electricity and thought it's come in handy as an emergency starter if ever I got stuck with no power, but I haven't used it yet but that's an option for you.

    Good stuff man. Suggestion. Route lightening slots or drill lightening holes into the ply seat base. You'll lighten whilst maintaining structural integrity & promote airflow.

    As always guys. 👍👍, also a small velcro strap over each battery would of done the trick...

      Thanks. Yeah good point, those straps we used are annoying so might change them!

    Hi Mark and Neil, I'm starting on a seat soon and keen to learn from your experience. Any chance you could pass on the measurements? Height of the seat base, depth of the seat base?, height of backrest? rough angle of backrest? etc etc Really appreciate your video's. I have also bought a Truma D6 so I am keen to learn from your install. I have a Ducato L3H2 🙂

    Looking great... May i ask what height from floor was the finished seat and what depth (from knee to bum!) you went with? Been really enjoying your build looking forward to seeing finished look.

    • @OurVanPlan
      @OurVanPlan  2 года назад +1

      Thanks. The seat is 44cm from the floor and 54cm deep. Then cushion on top of that which is 9cm thick.

    Hi Guys, just sold my off road and build van like yourselves. In the past used Enerdrive system which is twice the price as Renogy but with 5 year warranty. What is Renogy like, quality and reliability? Regards James Australia

    • @OurVanPlan
      @OurVanPlan  2 года назад

      Hey James, I’m impressed with the Renogy. It’s good quality, been reliable and reasonable price. You can get cheaper but I think renogy js a good balance. Also their customer service is great.
