- Part4 of the "Make your own #diy #campervan from a #panelvan" series. This is where we remove the old ply lining from the walls, wheel arches and flooring, then fit the sound damping deadening material, stick the insulation down to keep the inside of the van warm, and start the long task of making new ply panels and capeting the inside of the van. Neil from RetroManCave pops in as a guest star!!

An immediate "thumbs-down" - they didn't even take time to watch it! - THUMBS UP PEOPLE!!! :-) I hope this is useful and mildly entertaining!! Making this van is hard work...
enjoying watching great advice at the end of the vid
You’re a superstar! ... thanks for watching until the end! :)
Thanks Rock! ... I sincerely appreciate your support!
Adding to the thumbs up pile. And enjoying the video. In the middle of it so far.
Thanks kindly for your support!! Needsmoresubs is a great channel that really encourages creators to make great content, well worth popping over to check them out !!
That break time bit was funny. So true, pacing yourself is good advice. It's looking amazing.
Big hugs Karen... Yes, I found time to do comments again... Massive thanks for your support and kind words...
I'm glad you said that was coffee. If you'd said it was tea I was going to have to object.
I do also drink pints of tea! ... I find they help clear the weekend hangover! :)
Just as long as your tea doesn't look anaemic that's fine :P
Hahah... I’m too fond of milk!
A big thumbs up 👍 . That’s a lot of hard work, well done! I’m sure you and your wife will enjoy camping when it’s done.
Thanks so much mr radiogeek... guess what! In the future we will install a radio!! :-). HF, VHF and UHF!
educational and entertaining and what a lovely guy thank you really enjoying watching your progress wont be long till your out there and enjoying van life good on ya !!
Thanks Jeff!! ... I think we’re up to episode 8 now and we have gone away in the van a few times... it’s great fun, very convenient and extremely comfortable... I’ve definitely got quite a few more videos to make on this van project :-). Stay tuned!! :-). All the best!!
Great stuff Howard! Really enjoy your laid-back approach to things. One of your best vids so far, always nice with the lenghty ones... :)
Thanks Mr Boman! ... the effort spent of this project so far has been immense... that laid-back approach is because I’m so shattered! ... hahah... joking apart, the energy levels got really low occasionally... I have loads more cracking footage to edit up, some electrical and some mechanical... can’t wait to show you! Sincere thanks for your kind comments!
Great advice Howard, it's a ball ache of a job but the end results are worth it. can't wait to hit the road together and do some dub fests!! :)
Epic times ahead my friend!! I’m looking forward to our first night... I hear a top tip is to make sure there is air circulation (open windows) or you get lots of condensation...
@@DubiousEngineering get some window vents ..you can open your front windows and they let the air flow nicely. i always have a window open as i find it quite hot in my bus. poptop is the way forward though :)
That's a lot of work you and Vicki have chalked off. Great vid 👏👍
That’s a beautiful comment!! Thanks therushden! ... I keep wondering why I didn’t pay someone to do this , but it will all become clear in a few weeks when we have a sincerely massive entertainment retro system installed!! :-)
Another enjoyable video. Glad mine is finished now, dont think i could go through it again. Although when i say finished there is so much i want to do again in a different way so a refit is on the cards come next spring.
What are your major changes? ... I’m interested to know just in case I make the same mistakes :-)
It's good how your wife helps you with things, mine was only ever any good at spending my money behind my back. 😫
Barry Bethal ... Aha!! I suffered from the same problem many years ago... and as such traded her in for a better one :-)
Excellent video excellent DIY job great stuff
Thank you! Cheers! Glad it was useful!
Wow, this is a great video and interesting, I bet your backs did ache after the carpeting etc can't wait to see it when its completed!! A massive thums up to you both!
Thanks Dawn! Very kind! ... we have only got curtains and a kitchen left to fit before we can take it on the road for a few days... I have a massive back-log of great footage that I need to edit. I can’t wait to show you the next episodes!
You have made a lovely job of this👍
Barry Bethal you are super kind!! And I love the comments!! Makes it all worth it!! Thank you 🙏!!
Lovely work mate! Lovely!
It’s a massive feeling of satisfaction... and “we made this” ... rather than - we bought this... just need to fit curtains now and we have a day/two night van... then we need to make a kitchen bathroom etc...
It's looking amazing!
We’re really making progress now!! ... lots of travel for work in the next few days, I’m trying to think about taking the DS with me and making a video in Hungary next week!! We will see if I can... for those reading, if you are into retro systems, pop over to visit retro recollections and enjoy some nostalgic adventures on his channel!
As usual nice.
Thanks for taking time out to watch Dim! .. hope all is well at your end!
I bet your feeling quite chuffed with yourself, and so you should. You've both done an excellent job with the carpeting and whats more you found a use for that bent tooth fork I remember you made in an earlier episode. Best of luck with the rest of the conversion. ;)
Dear Peadar!! Thanks so much for your support!! ... we are now at a point where we have bed seats and the ability to troop off camping somewhere... in really looking forward to wiring all the bonkers electrical and electronic devices in!! It’s going to be fun!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
And the Head Knock Counter since the last video is?
______ knocks to the skull... hahaha
Hahaha... exactly reggie! ... deffo bashed it quite a bit... it hurts a little less now there is carpet in place! All the very best! :)
You have taught me about how important "brain breaks" are.😁
Barry Bethal ... I find that if I push too hard to get something done, I rush and screw it up... this way, you get a nicer result and a moment to think about what you’re doing!
Using a modified fork to removed the trim clips is a "forkin good" idea.
Barry Bethal Hahahah... forking good joke mate :-)
What insulation did you use and did you leave an air gap between the insulation and the metal wall of the van?
We used the closed cell foam, silver front, adhesive backed. About three layers was enough with a 1” gap to the metal
@@DubiousEngineering So what did you stick the insulation to?
Ahh... sorry, the adhesive backed side is directly on the painted inside metalwork, the silver front side is 1 inch off the other painted metal sandwich
Wat color is carpet?
Gray light gray
What color is that ?
What colour is what? Sorry, lots of things in the video, please be specific thanks ;-)
@@DubiousEngineering the carpet ? And where did u buy cheers

You've used New Order's Blue Monday as backing music but thoroughly butchered and muzaked it!!! How dare you!
Here’s a video on how I made this tune... czcams.com/video/GQc_9qCAZ2A/video.html
Enjoying the journey - looking forward to starting my conversion.
Have fun with it... it’s quite hard work in some cases... don’t rush...
