  • This Camper Van Conversion has been an ABSOLUTE MISSION for two Major Reasons. Number 1, we were on a very tight budget and number 2, l had a very narrow time frame to get it done by.
    Having never done a van conversion before it was a massive learning curve with more twists and turns than something that has a lot of twists and turns 🤣
    All up it took a solid five weeks to finish the van and l have to say that it turned out pretty nice.
    I hope you enjoy it 👍😁
    P.S. If you find some value in this content, you may want to consider a small donation to my Buy Me a Coffee Fund: bit.ly/3UXEoHK It takes a lot of time and money to make these videos so every little bit helps so that l can continue to make content for you guys. Many thanks in advance.

    It brings so much joy to me as a father to watch Jack's expression. I am so happy to see you receive such a heartfelt appreciation from your labor. He obviously received way more than what he was expecting. I'm sure he drove home in disbelief with a giant grin on his face. The whole reveil was priceless. Jack is so blessed to have a dad such as you. Take care and pray for a speedy recovery from surgery. 👏👏👏

    Uncle Knackers!! Great job!! I'm a father of a young child and one of the worries I have, is the day I no longer see the big smile and her thinking I'm a superhero. Seeing your adult son have that same "my dad's a superhero" smile, gave me all kids of warm and fuzzies and restored my belief that there's still plenty more of those special smiles for quite a few years to come. Great job mate 😍👏👏🍻

    Hello, I'm from UK and I've watched a lot of small van conversions over the last couple of years (and most of your videos too). Yours has to be one the most concise and easy to follow process from start to finish. Your woodworking skills and attention to the smallest of details are what make this conversion so neat and practical. You son looked a bit overwhelmed to see what you've made for him. A loving present from a father to his son. I'm sure he'll have loads of amazing adventures. Well done 🙏

    • @diyforknuckleheads

    Divine. Form and function. That van is fantastic. Actually, because of the vibe that went into it, magical. Love it so much. Jack-that is one happy surfer, grateful because he knows how it was before the conversion. Bet he appreciates it often. I am imagining his friends saying, “no way, your Dad did this” when they see it. So cool. Hope the foot surgery healing is going well. You are amazing! Congratulations. Well done.

    Great van conversion. There is plenty of room for a young bloke. My query is with the solar charging point. The Grey Anderson plug will not plug into the Red Anderson plugs as the different coloured plugs won't plug into different colours as each one has a different keyway. You probably should change one of the grey plugs out with a red one on the lead. Cliff.

    Love the recessed lights in the roof and all that storage is great! Forget renting an RV from Apollo again I'd prefer to have you build something out for my next road trip to AU. LoL The carpet on the wall is great for holding Velcro items and patches and bamboo mats are a super cheap way to catch the beach sand. Good luck with the foot surgery!
