Things We HATE About Our Camper Van Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 дек 2024
- Join us for a slightly different style of video. Sit back and relax as we discuss all the areas of our self built van that we no longer like. Whilst there is a lot to love, we have found a few things that personally for us, do not work.
.
As complete novices to converting vans, we were flooded with great ideas at the time but have realised that we could have come up with something more practical!

Thank you all for your continued support, please like and subscribe if you haven’t already!

What have you done with your build that you regret or wouldn’t choose to do again?
You always have to live and spend time with these sorts of things to see what works and what doesn't. All in all for a first build with no experience you absolutely smashed it!.
Thank you so much! It will forever be a project and we will always find things we don’t like or want to change, it’s part of the fun!
Ive built a micro camper and I really feel you on the having to make the bed - especially when you realised you've left something that's now inaccessible 😅
The realisation hits hard doesn’t it! What can have you got for your micro camper? We are always so impressed with smaller vans and how people convert them and make them functional!
EBay have lots of goodies for camping, check out spring loaded rods, ideal for
Cupboards to keep thing safe, they come in various lengths and quite cheap.
Also you can find used items such as roof vents on the site. Iron on Velcro could help with curtain making.
Your doing a great job though.
We hand t thought of iron on Velcro! That might help! We did buy rods but they were massive 😂
It is a nice van … I like your van and video ❤
Thank you!
There's a reason people add flares, and turn the bed sideways, you get a huge , easily accessible garage and still get a large bed, i couldn't agree more about lighting, my vans a 144 sprinter, i still did 3 zones of lights, with 2 small 1" spots over the kitchen, i can prepare coffee or food in the morning while my wife sleeps, without the van lit up, and i can see clearly what im doing..
That sounds exactly like how we should have done ours! Absolutely ideal!
favourite thing is being able to stand up in my van. im 6 ft 4, so high roof is great. also windows and solar system make me happy
@@AlanMacdougall-c2w all good things! What van dk you have?
@@TakeAPeakAtThis its a 2019 vw crafter, xl with high roof, basically the biggest one they do.
Test and adjust. No plan survives first contact. We did the fixed bed in our first go. But it was to high up, great for storage not great for head room. Also not quite enough leg room. So kitchen is now in the rear across the back and the bed is length ways from behind the front seats. Still got a fair amount of space. Plenty storage. Looks much better and we can stretch out lol
Test and adjust is absolutely the way forward! Sounds like you’ve got it down now!
Flares are easy to add, best upgrade I've done so far, and I can stretch out now
Best thing about my build currently is having the diesel heater hooked up to the vehicle tank - and that's your fault 😀
Ahh that’s so good! Makes a difference doesn’t it!
You have both done excellent with your build.did you or have considered a Murphy bed 🤔👍.✊🙏❤️👌😎
@johnpatterson5744 it had crossed our minds at some stage during the build but to get the right size, the van just isn’t big enough. Perhaps if we convert a bigger van!
😳 Good grief
How about stop moaning
What's wrong with you kids?
100% woke
There is somewhat a difference between moaning and explaining the reasons why certain things don’t work for us. Please don’t feel obliged to watch if it causes you so much distress but thank you for your input! We like to have engagement with our audience and opinions are always welcome!
