Kev & Karen 🥰
We are documenting our third campervan conversion. We have converted a VWT5, VWT6 and recently started on our new Crafter 🤩 This is a high end / high spec conversion with electric blinds, underfloor heating, electric bed.
Our tiny home on wheels takes us to explore this incredible world 🌍 We are happiest when we are on the road in our camper, traveling through beautiful landscapes.
This new conversion is a bespoke, high end campervan design. Build quality along with exterior/interior aesthetics of the urban design are our goals. Check out our van tour video to see what’s been happening.
Kev is highly experienced in design and build with a lifetime of exciting and unusual residential projects behind him. So guaranteed this campervan design will be awesome 😎

Where did the shower tray come from?
Brilliant!
Please can you tell me where the electric blinds came from?
Having spent too many hours of my life watching videos of campervan conversions and boring my wife and children with ideas I've just found my perfect van/layout combo - well done - amazing job.
How long is the bed head to toe? Great build.
This is the first mwb van that I could see myself living in. All the other ones are wayyy too cramped and I would feel like a prisoner
“ it’s not in English “. So did you ask for an English version of the instructions ? Or just come here whining and complaining ? Vote for brexit too I would guess. ?

exciting. we are getting the bed delivered tomorrow
Hi nice van layout ❤ I just building the same lounge and electric bed install . do you actually need a lower bed support or does it support itself on the straps thanks
Hi just found your channel, love this layout and it's what we've been looking for too. Could I ask, where did you get the loo from as it looks like it's taking into account the wheel arch?
what standing height does this leave you with when the bed is up? Your design looks about the most you could get in a Crafter (H3?)
Where did you get the kit from please? Thanks
Great conversion guys. Love your videos. Might I ask where you got your electric blinds from? Any advice on how you fitted these would be great! Please and thank youuuu!
Loving what you’ve done. I'm hoping to change from my T6 to a MWB Crafter and will definitely be going for this layout. Can you tell me where, and what heater you've used please?
Hey up thanks for the video. I hope you’re still on. Did you get any photos of the wiring or can you tell me where the power goes in? The diagrams are doin my nut in😂
too bad, that you obviously don't care to answer questions, I gathered from below. Wanted to know where you got your kit from? You claim weight savings and height savings over the aluminum frame. Was hoping you could give some numbers concerning those claims.
Hey man! Thanks for that video, I got the same bed and the Installation instruction is a disaster 😂 you mount one of the brackets at your shower - Can you tell me how thick the wood is from your shower?
Wonder if the efficiency gained by tilting panel is used by powering the actuator !!! You would have to intentionally position van to face the track of sun, maybe a swivel base is next with solar tracker 😂
Is there a reason why the motor and spooling mechanism can't be mounted beneath the bed platform?
La furgoneta es una l2h2,,,
How much more efficient is it tilted compared to flat ?
Most useful setup video out there, thank you!
Thank you sooooooo much guys! Been looking for this model to copy off for so long! I have a 2006 LT35 and love the van and was reluctant to get rid of it and get a more modern LWD model to accommodate me, the wife and 3x small kids and you have just given me the blueprints to be able to put everything we need in my beloved old LT35. THANKS SO MUCH
Just followed you onto the ferry ⛴️ at dieppe. Great Van.
I can translate it for you lol
Thanks for up.pacing this. I love it!❤
Brilliant!
Hi there I’ve got the same bed as you, do you find there is a 5 mm movement/rock is you rock the bed frame? I mean at end of the day it’s on track so there will be some movement I guess…
Have you not gone for a vapour barrier on the build? If not, why not?
Hi I would like to commend you for this video and your time, effort and patience not to mention your skills in completing this cracking job seriously well done. We have one bed of what looks to be exactly the same in our coach built motorhome and it has been wonderful up until we hit a ramp coming off a ferry and the whole bed jumped and broke the rollers and brackets that run in the slide guides. I cannot find where to buy replacement the grey coloured rollers 4 off. You'll be more familiar with these than me since you built yours> these are a push fit on each end of the slider that keeps the bed parallel and secure while moving ascending and descending. I have learned after research that there should be a seat belt type securing buckles while travelling mine has none? Any help will be most welcome in where I can purchase replacement parts. We live in Ireland.
A great use of space!! I am converting a MWB as well, where did you get the shower tray from?
Muchas gracias por la información
Best conversion I've seen 👌 is there any update on this?
The best layout I've seen, and I've seen a lot ! Would Kev build another one 🤔. JC Ireland
Fair play you don't mess about, what do you do for a job if you don't mind me asking as you seem very competent
Love the simplicity of this van. Add a swivel table in the front.
Awesome! can you share the link where you buy this lifting system? And exact name / part number. Thanks!
Hi bud i like in South Wales, would you possibly mind me giving u call to talk about your bed lift please? Nick
Love the idea of using the shower room as a clothes dryer. I suspect of you put a fan in there, it would be effective as well. Now all you need is pedestal washer.
great video. how much did the bed system cost please?
I love the finishing .. love the electric bed
Thank you 😊 We tried to keep it like a small modern apartment, we’re not fans of the traditional motor home feel, it’s just being a little creative.
@@recraftedcampers4686 congratulations.. the best conversion I have seen so far..👏🏽👏🏽
I have just come a cross your videos and find your van conversion amazing. Love the flexibility you have in your van.. I am looking to get a crafter for an upgrade from T6 VW campervan.. would love to see the video with all aspects completed.. great job…👏🏽👏🏽🌟
Thank you for your comments, we are very pleased that you like it. It really does work well and feels quite spacious with having different areas to relax in, the kitchen works so well, we have cooked 2 Christmas dinners in it now 😍 We do need to do a final video as it is 100% finished now. We’re just back from a winter trip in the Swiss alps and it was toasty and warm, having the shower/wc as a drying room is brilliant.
@@recraftedcampers4686 can’t wait to see it all done up with your personal touch.. love my VW california but want the shower and a full sized bed🤩🥳
Where did u get the van from? I want this shape crafter ? Nice layout
Hey mate We bought the van privately when it was a few months old, then converted it ourselves. It’s a lovely vehicle to drive. The layout works really well 👍🏽
What time of year did you go?
Hi Jake We normally go the first few weeks of September, no kids, quiet and generally good weather.
Nice van!I'm sure you'll have a great time in it! How do you find getting up into the bed? I'm wondering for my own build if it would be worth putting a step in somehow. Also how are you finding the mattress as I assume you had to go thin to get your head clearance below.
Thank you! Yes we love it. We step on the seat below and hop up which is easy. Our mattress is 100mm. The ceiling sits a bit lower there with the bedding up too too, but it’s no problem as it’s a seating area mainly
And the 100mm is very comfortable
Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply 😊
Hello, nice video. Do you have Instagram at all? It would be nice to try out this in our next build, but we want to test it out first to see if we like it before building it. Are you able to rent out yours for us to test?
Your van is awesome 👍🏻 how lang is the Van? 🤔 like Sprinter140?
I also want to have the same lift bed as you. Can you do another video explaining where the bed weight is supported? I can see you have the rail on your shower wall and on your kitchen divider part. Where are the load points? For my setup we would be sleeping length ways as I am 6.1” and can’t sleep sideways. We want to put the lift in a Fiat Ducato L4H3 or similar. I’ll be interested to know more about your dimensions for your seat cushion also 😊
Hi did you do this, looking to do the same? cheeers
