    This has to be the best Caddy conversion I've ever seen (and, if you're here and like me, you've seen a LOT of them!)
    Fantastic work Ally, really high quality fit and finish, love it!

      Hi Duncan and thanks so much really appreciate your comments the conversion has been a great journey loved every minute of it seeing it all come together, and showing how a smaller van can be converted using every little space to achieve it its been great getting out in it most weekends.

    The roof looks great! I have a Nissan Elgrand Poptop but drive a VW car so love looking at micro campers and other people's designs, especially for VWs. The black roof and alloy wheels really make, what could have been, something quite plain look fabulous, Great job!

    • @Allysmountainwalks6462
      @Allysmountainwalks6462  Год назад +1

      Hi Jan, thanks for viewing the roof has made a big difference. I really like the black and white look was thinking of adding colours but decided to stick with it been a great project so far. ATB Ally 👍

      Hi Paul, it's great to be able to just jump into the van and go at the weekends. Iwas looking to add colour but decided to stick with the black and white. Still a few things to add it's like the never-ending project 😀 ATB Ally 👍

    Great video Ally. What space you've got now. The Caddy really is a bit of a Tardis. The black on white works really well buddy. Nice one. All the best mate and here's to the next video.

      Hi John the roof has made a big difference with space and head hight for a smaller van there is so much you can do with it , thought of adding colour but think the black and white looks good so just going with it. got a few more things in the pipeline so hopefully get round to them soon.

      Hi Christopher thanks for following along really loved doing the conversion, I got the furniture made by a furniture maker and I fitted it in to the van , the roof was installed by a company as it wasn't a thing to get wrong, I installed most of the windows electrics the carpet lining and loads more .

    Hi, van looks awesome can I ask how you go about insurance as if it was a panel van and you’ve added windows and a pop top do you have to get specialist insurance or just normal company but declare each modification

    • @Allysmountainwalks6462
      @Allysmountainwalks6462  7 месяцев назад

      Hi thanks for following along i had to move insurance companies as my original one wouldn't insure after i had all the modifications done i managed to get insured with a specialist company in England i declared everything i had done and they have basically had to insure it as a campervan. Adrian flux is the company i am with now hopefully this will help. Atb Ally 👍

      HI Ian thanks for tagging along i used the awning rail c channel in black and was stuck down using sika flex 522 as didn't want to drill holes on the roof its powerful it will never come off it comes in 3 metre length if you try the website ukleisureparts.co.uk this is the same one i have.

    Lovely conversion mate. What rock and roll bed did you get and how much head room have you got for the rear seats when the roof is down?

    • @Allysmountainwalks6462
      @Allysmountainwalks6462  5 месяцев назад

      Hi thanks for taking time to watch the video, I got the rock and roll bed made to size it's 900mm wide 2 seater, when in bed position it's 1800mm long. When the roof is down i can sit up and there is still space above my head . The bed was made by a company called hammonds camper beds. ATB ALLY 👍

    Wow, what a fantastic conversion! I have a Berlingo XL and want to do something like this with mine 🚐 You even managed an awning rail. Can you recommend a good awning for micro campers? I only ever see ones for bigger vehicles

    • @Allysmountainwalks6462
      @Allysmountainwalks6462  10 месяцев назад

      Hi thanks for viewing the video it's been a brilliant project to work on , the original awning I had was a 4x4 direct awning which attached to the roof bars really good awning I had to do away with it when got the poptop, if you take a look at the first video I done it shows the awning before I got the poptop. Hopefully this can help. Atb Ally 👍
