@@dantheman321 At 6'7" I'd make it work, after all, I wouldn't be standing all the time would I ? And I already drive a Peugeot partner, Mmmmm, I wonder.😊
Incredible how much you have packed in to a relatively small space, well done it looks fantastic. I am always impressed with the quality of your conversions 👏🏻
All new vans now have compression fridges there well better I would recommend a solar panel 80 to 100 watt is enough for fridge and living room. This van is great
mate, this is amazing! the attention to detail you have put into this is unbelievable. There are alotttt of camper build videos on youtube but yours is definitely up there with the best. Truly impressed with how you design and build these. If anyone is looking for someone to convert a van, in my eyes there's no one I have seen who does it better. Well done mate - you're gonna be a very busy man. The only thing I would say is it would be great if you have more detailed instructions on how you do things. World class work!
Thank you Mike, this is one of the nicest comments I've ever had. I do put alot into the conversions ie detail, thought etc as I think it matters with how much people spend on them. Many thanks for watching 👍👍
That is brilliant! Very nice build, I was as always thinking there was lacking room for a porta-potty, but you include that. something I feel very few make room for in those micro-campers. You pretty much made a camper just like I want! Shame I could never afford one of course haha The roof is very nice, I haven't seen such before but really makes the whole much more usable.
@@dantheman321 problems with many, more like it. I work Saturdays as a postman for Royal Mail. The Doblo’s gears are diabolical. They’re the running joke among all posties.
Wow. Its been worth the wait. Absolutely love this one and the that table is so good. I have used the bed idea in my Vivaro conversion and it works a treat. Brilliant!!!
Why aren't all pop-top roofs like this - instead of the usual claustrophobic sloping versions? Even better were the old Autosleeper solid sided elevating roofs.....be great if you could incorporate that style - but I guess they've not been available for a long time.
@@JPfreespirit I don't actually know what they are selling it for, it is Price on enquiry. They do have a waiting list for people to view the camper so maybe worth a visit before it sells.
Nice video, nice van. Can you sit on the bench seat with the roof down and can you cook with the roof down? We have a VW California and have had to drop the roof in stormy weather. Why is the raising roof so slow to open, maybe make it manual instead. And the top kitchen storage would be better as drawers. I think you would get fed up constantly getting on your knees to look inside.
Dan and his campers are brilliant solutions for practical travelling and camping on a budget. I'm recommending him. Is it in stock please and what is the price? Could a larger table be hooked on? Are Satnav and tail gate shower or larger water containers possible?
What a perfect build. I LOVE the roof lifter. Being able to stand up inside is such a big and needed luxery. My questions are about this. I see the video is a year old. Is the roof wind and water proof when you create it this way? No air getting in while driving with a closed roof. Or rain while driving with a closed roof? Are you not cutting trough beams (strength) of the car when creating the hole? Did you make the roof cover yourself or is it some kind of standard one can buy somewhere? Thank you for the video. I just bought a fiat doblo maxi cargo yesterday. Never intended to make a mini camper out of it but after your video I am getting exited :)
@@dantheman321 gosh how much would it cost. I think I will need someone to assist me ie roof units but your plans would be amazing. Following divorce Ive been living my car since October as waiting for the family house to sell to get my share. Its not likely to be quick so Ive been looking at most cost effective option with low running costs, your videos are really fantastic keep them going👍. How much for the plans ? Kind regards Huw
As someone who used a Fiat Amigo back in 1985 I enjoyed this. My only query is why bother with the complexity of an electric roof? Is it not possible to simply use gas struts? Is it because there would be no easy way to get the roof back down, given that it's horizontal?
@@tigershoot I wanted to challenge myself, I'd had the idea and thought of a way to do it. It's never been done before on this vehicle. I'm glad you enjoyed the video many thanks for watching.
Hi Julie my campers go to Waverny Campers in Norwich, they are currently advertising the one I'm building at the moment on there website. Many thanks for watching 👍
This is epic . Guys coming from a berljngo 2003. Thinking of moving to a 2012 Doblo. Are Doblos good in terms of comparing with Citreon? I have no clue x thanks!
Bob on that Dan! Which fridges do you go for on your conversion these days? I’m going to be looking for a 12v compressor fridge soon. Great work as always.
Beautiful conversion. Can I ask a couple of questions please. Is the van a Doblo LWB? Also when the bed is down can a porta potty go at the side.of the fridge - I assume fron passenger seat could.pull forward a bit but would the loo be accessible to use whilst the beds down in that sort of scenario? Also other thing was - where.did you get the roof kit from? Wondering the costs involved with that also? Would you put the roof down whilst sleeping or leave open? Does it matter? Thank you.
Hi yes the van is a LWB, yes the loo can fit at the end of the kitchen when the bed is out and also the passenger seat could pull forward to give you more room. The roof is something I designed and made myself for this project. It can stay up and come down whilst sleeping obviously depending on weather conditions as with an lift up roof.

Unfortunately the front cab seats can't swivel as the cab area is lower than the conversion area. If you would like more information please email me at dtm321tube@gmail.com Many thanks for watching 👍
Hi I don't have patterns for a berlingo and the roof wouldn't fit unfortunately. Do you have a berlingo? If not this camper is for sale at Waverny Campers in Norwich 07714 466997. Many thanks for watching 👍
Unfortunately swivel bases can't be fitted to this vehicle due to the cab being lower than the conversion height. Hopefully a company will make them for this kind of vehicle so that the front cab seats can be incorporated into the lounge area 👍 many thanks for watching.
A beautifully created camper but how does it fare under DVLA regulations which apparently no longer allow extending roof conversions and require an extendable sun blind on one side? There is obviously a way around this as a number of manufacturers are still using this format but the regulations and what is currently being placed on the road seem at variance.
Sending a camper to a vosa test station, they don't use the same rules as those set out by dvla just to simply change a log book. They test mainly protruding objects outside the vehicle and seat belts etc hope this helps 👍 and many thanks for watching
Hi Hilary yes the camper is for sale, if you would like all the details regarding the vehicle and the conversion please email me at dtm321tube@gmail.com Many thanks for watching and speak soon
Hi the bed is 6 ft 6 inches and the ceiling when lifted is 6 ft 5 inches. The roof has a remote and also an override switch on the controllers. Many thanks for watching 👍👍
I wanted one of these badly enough that I bought one new. Unfortunately the only one available to me is an American version. The driveline was garbage. The transmission can never pick a gear. It shifts constantly and harshly. I got a class action lawsuit settlement letter from the manufacturer with a $4500 coupon towards another purchase. The engine lost another lawsuit for excess oil consumption. If it were available in the U.S. with the engine and transmission you have, I would buy another one. I traded mine in after 2 years.

The most amazing thing about this Doblo is that he’s able to get it into gear and actually drive it.
Take it you have had problems with one before? This one drives great

@@dantheman321 how much please ?

What would be a rough ball park figure for something like this please?

Thank you and yes there is. There is a second remote and also there are switches on the controller boxes to bring it down. Many thanks for watching 👍👍

Looks just the sort of thing I'm thinking of! Is a swivelling front seat a possibility? And of course...how much?
Unfortunately the front cab seats can't swivel as the cab area is lower than the conversion area. If you would like more information please email me at dtm321tube@gmail.com

This is great Dan can you give me an idea of price for a similar set up on a Berlingo.

Space is at a premium on such a small vehicle yet few have swivelling front seats. In my view it's a major omission on a vehicle this size.

Do you sell these? Fiat Doblo Camper is exactly what I'm looking for. Never thought it could come with a poptop as well!
Hi I have made a couple of them but I don't have any at the moment.
Many thanks for watching
Amazing! How much did that roof cost???
I made it myself but I spent alot on making molds etc the next one I make won't cost as much though thankfully 👍 many thanks for watching
Is it possible to put PV panels on the pop-top?
Yes it would be possible👍👍many thanks for watching
Where does the motor part of the refrigerator provide air flow?
How long does it take for the roof to go up and down plz
Roughly about a minute but I would need to time it to give you an exact time. Many thanks for watching 👍👍
