Hi I'm gonna convert a 2012 Berlingo and was wondering did you strip out the inside of your van of the metal, down to the skeleton of the van? Also, did you just insulate the open holes of it, and not damp proof it with a membrane? I'd appreciate any guidance :p also, where did you get the wee sink? 👀 Thanks!

[@susansutton2012]

Good luck on your conversation.

Hi Carla, sorry for the late response. Van was just stripped back to the metal and cleaned. Did not damp proof with a membrane didn't feel the need to be honest. And the kitchen sink was a salad bowl, drilled the drain into it.

Hello, hope you’re well?
Where did you put your wires? I’ve got a 59 plate Berlingo and I have wires down both sides in the back! 😀

[@DjSilish]

Aside from the internal wiring for the rear tail lights etc there is nothing else, that runs through the original wiring loom to the rear, I didn’t put any electrical into the rear of the van, the lights are battery push lights, sink has the foot pump. Hope that helps thanks 😊

Found it a bit hard to see what you were doing with the ceiling at the start. So forgive me asking stupid questions. I just got a Berlingo van and i want to do as much myself as i can with zero skills.
So, did you glue along the length and screw in the ends of the wood to the metal of the van - front middle and back? And this is just so you can screw the ceiling ply to it?
Would it be enough with the for not to come down when the ply is attached to it?

[@DjSilish]

Hi Finn, I put in those ceiling ribs to give a bit more depth for insulation and to keep the ceiling fairly flat as the metal ribs on the roof of the berlingo are fairly thin. If you use something like tec-7 or stix-all (these will not come off when dry and have super strong bonding capabilities) and screw where ever you find enough depth on the metal ribs on the roof so that when you screw to it it won’t pierce the outside skin of the van, I think I put a few mails in the top part near the drivers cabin to hold it whilst the stuff I used to stick it dried. If you use a decent bonding glue like the ones suggested above it won’t come down and you can then use small screws to screw your ply to the ceiling of the van. We’ll that’s what I did anyway, hope that helps and thx for watching 👍🏼.

@@DjSilish that's absolute gold.. Thanks a million Sid for taking the time for such a detailed reply

[@dazwildoutdoors.3782]

my roof panel needs pinning to roof on the side near the sliding door top end..dont know where to screw in as i cant see whats behind..

[@DjSilish]

There is a rib going across the middle of the roof somewhere as far as I remember, and there should be a double skin somewhere near that sliding door rail. I can’t fully remember to be honest.

What thickness ply did you use for the floor bud ?

[@DjSilish]

Hi Adam, I used 3/4" / 18mm ply for the floor and bed / seat. Thanks for watching :)

[@jameslovis9368]

What did you use for your insulation??

[@DjSilish]

Hi James I used 100mm Rockwool.
