    HI STU 😁 Great videos very informative ,maybe you could include the van build total weight as a lot of van builders dont show what the van comes in before passengers and fuel/water etc... Most van builders go over the TOTAL 3500kgs . Your builds with lightweight ply are all on spec but most home builders are using heavy PLY AND ARE RUNNING OVER WEIGHT.... Wishing you all the best with new business. 👍

    • @VanologyConversions
      @VanologyConversions  3 месяца назад

      That’s very true mate, our first van weighed 2640kg unloaded so had a fantastic pay load, the grey Ducato we finished in February weighed 3160kg completely loaded including fuel, water and garage loaded so very pleased with our vehicle weights after conversion 👍🏻👊🏻

  • @bren106

    You could tape a bin bag or similar to the inside roof to catch the swarf from the cutting, popping a magnet in the bag will catch it as you cut. If a magnet isn't to hand then a squeeze of mastic on the middle of the bag will catch most as the vibrations will cause them to move towards the centre.

    • @VanologyConversions
      @VanologyConversions  4 месяца назад

      Thanks bren that’s a great idea. We used to do put a plastic liner underneath to capture it but some always escaped and it’s still all over the roof so know we just cut all the holes and then do a deep clean

    Thanks for this, it's perfect timing as I have to replace one of my skylights thanks to a stupid pigeon headbutting it and smashing the "glass" plus part of the frame. Itvwill be the same process but the hole is already cut and the wood frame is in place. If it wasn't I would hold the frame with some clamps as I don't have props.

    • @VanologyConversions
      @VanologyConversions  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks mate, with solar it’s a case of get as much on the roof as you can fit. If there is two skylights we use our 445w panel but if only 1 skylight we can get 525w +

    Hi Guys. What a shame weather in Spain video. Yes your new van is superb but way too long for me. My ex sainsbury supermarket delivery van is keeping me busy converting it. Been fitting doors. May I ask what your insurance rushes u. I got my sprinter 314 cdi 2018 for 440 with Adrian Flux. Value after conversion 15k. Good luck with yours. Now going to watch another video by van ology, don't know who that raskel is do u. Really love your videos. Best wishes to u and your wife. Also u have very well beh children. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk

    Hey Stu, great informational video. Just got my 50x70 skylight for my boxer and will be fitting it as soon as it gets a little bit warmer around here.
    Just a question, might be stupid, but after cutting the hole and filing it, you mention that you threat the bare metal, what are you using to threat it?
    I have got hamerite but the text said you threat it before applying hamerite so just wondering what to use.
    Thanks and keep it up, can't wait for the next how to video!

    • @VanologyConversions
      @VanologyConversions  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks mate, I applied a primer to the bare metal. You can just apply the hammerite straight to it. I then applied the hammerite afterwards with about a 10mm overspill both sides 👍🏻🚐
