This Vauxhall vivaro camper conversion ids the 7th one I have done and in it I will include one of my wooden rock and roll beds. The rest of the van build is coming soon.

    You going to seal them self tapers underneath ? Oh and by the way hearing them seagulls got me thinking of Cornish pasties so that might be one for the other channel 👍

    Another great video Dave. Cant wait to see the final product. Are you going with a rock and roll again? Because personally I think you should pull out slat it with a lot more storage underneath. I like both ways but at least my preference allows you to sleep on a single without having to make up a double. Either way, It's gonna be good.

      @@dave-watson I have had four, a transporter, transit then relay then another transit I bought in November and had just finished insulation when someone stole it. Insurance have only paid me five thousand so starting again at the lower end…. Any inspiration is great as my needs in a van are really unique. Your content makes things look achievable

      @@dave-watson thank you, actually I just drove from Burnley to brum today to look at a bright yellow minibus, I’ll have to get unwin seats for kids as it’s got rails and only three seats currently but have taken a gamble. It’s better than being without a van once you are used to having the versatility of one isn’t it ? Keep the inspiration coming though my build will be very much lower budget than yours 😋

    Hi Dave, am loving your latest build series. I have watched your previous ones and am doing my own Vivaro conversion atm so perfect timing for me to follow along!
    One question I had is why do you prefer OSB over 12mm Ply for the floor?
    Cheers, Gareth.

    • @dave-watson
      @dave-watson  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks Gareth....I use the OSB because I find it easier to handle than the 12 mm ply, it's lighter and jest as stable when in the van.

    Is it ok to put the self tappers straight through the floor ridges and leave…do you need to protect somehow from rusting underneath?

    • @dave-watson
      @dave-watson  3 месяца назад +1

      I believe the self tappers are stainless steel...so they should be okay.

    I found the wheel arches quite tricky to insulate and carpet. The foam I had was extremely sticky and unforgiving if I was slightly out 😖

    • @crxspybacon123
      @crxspybacon123 3 месяца назад +2

      I recommend a pair of duck bill scissors. I've found em very useful for cutting away all the ridges in my bad carpeting, so they were not really noticeable

      Yes, the wheel arches are a pain and a difficult shape.
