Make sure you make templates out of this one. ie the ceiling boards. When you do another boxer, you've got them handy. You can also get into making pre-packed stuff for other people. A bit more cash in your pocket.
My thoughts exactly
I forgot to do them this time around but when I do the b pillar I will surely be keeping a copy of those 👊🏻
@@VanologyConversions I'd buy a set of templates for sure
Why buy when I can make, and my scribes will be tighter 👊🏻
@@VanologyConversions no I meant I'd buy them off you, there brilliant 🤗🤗
Videos just keep getting better and better. A must watch each week now
The detail you go into is fantastic and it’s just the kind of channel we all need for conversions
Keep it up bud 🤙🏻🍊
Thanks Nemo I appreciate that 👊🏻 let’s hope they stay that way 👍🏻
Great job Stu. Once you make templates for everything and different van types as you go.... you'll be banging these conversions out in no tine. Quality work 👍👏
Thanks Paul, the B pillar is the one I’m not looking forward to, gotta scribe it 3 ways 😔
Just fantastic workmanship pal. Love how you work 👍
Thanks mate 👊🏻
Hi,
Great work on the van very professional.
As for the bed I would personally go 135.
Someone is going to get a very good van, can't wait to see it finished.
You certainly are putting the hours in.
All the best 😊
Paul 👍
Thanks Paul, I can’t wait to show case the finished van 👊🏻
Not that I haven’t enjoyed your earlier videos or the Crafter build over at the other channel, but this one was excellent. I really appreciate your attention to detail and how you think about the build. If I lived in the UK and wanted a van, I’d come to you. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks mate I really appreciate that. I think you need to move to the uk 🤣
@@VanologyConversions It’s my dream. One day. 👍🏻
I'm not sure I would call that a budget van. Tension to detail is spot on. 👌
Thanks James, it’s more about the budget pricing 👊🏻
Another great post......great education for me.....bed size my choice would be 135....that van is coming on lovely....
Thank you 💙
Great progress, you make it look so easy!
Thanks smudge, you don’t see all the head scratching and van building that goes on in my head 🤣
Love watching you , so informative 👍
Thanks John 👊🏻
With reference to the above cab area . I took out headliner ( reupholstered that in luxury suede) . Reupholstered seats. Took out plastic overhead liner and carpeted that in beige . While all out
I used 8mm acoustic thermo silver foam then carpetred over that. So much easier to remove to get in there . Also while all out check the ariel mount as these can leak
Def would like to see this mate 👍🏻
Amazing workmanship!!
Thanks bud 👊🏻
slow pace easy finnish you seem to work well alone stu loving the progress as in last vid comment exellent workmanship enjoying watching such a top bloke love your attitude and your working style top marks 100% your family must be so proud with you i love your attitude so much well done buddy
Thanks Paul, I can be a bit of a loner at times and that suits me absolutely fine although after nearly two living full time in the van with family I do sometimes miss the arguing 🤣
Inspirational
Thank you 💙
Great work,very interesting watch.👍🏴
Thanks Neil 👊🏻
Looking really good, well done amazing workman ship, looking forward to seeing next weeks ps go 135 for the bed
Thanks mate we’re certainly getting something that looks like a camper now. I agree 135 is the way to go 👍🏻
Got to say Stu, you make it look very easy.
The camera lies 🤣😂
Another cracking video. I seem to be going through a phase of watching these van conversion videos and I must say your channel is one of the better ones I've come across, keep it up, van's looking great.
Thanks mate appreciate it 👊🏻
Amazing job there stu must say 135 on bed that little bigger makes it stu, all the best love to family
Thanks mate, I must agree 135 is the way to go, us men need bollock space 🤣
Love watching all of your videos on converting this van. I'll be honest and say I have no idea what you're talking about most of the time but it's still really interesting 😊 Keep up the good work. You're doing a great job 👏
Thank you :) that made me laugh 🤣
Just watched the video! 100% go for the full double! We did in ours and so much better to sleep in coming from a small double size in a twin axle motorhome.
I agree mate 👍🏻
These vloggs are gona go big 😉👍😊
Thanks Dawn 💙
Looking good your a great help to other people that are building a van
I’m glad it may help others on their build 👍🏻
We have the 120cm bed in our van. It's big enough for the two of us. Loving this build 👍
Thank you, I’ve played it safe and gone 135 💙
Your making it look so easy. Great workmanship. You make me want to do my next van. I would definitely go bigger on bed.
Oh there’s plenty of head scratching and head planning behind the scenes 🤣 I agree bigger bed required 👍🏻
Looking good so far.Can't wait to see the finished project. Very impressive 👍🏻
Nor me but then again it means I got to start all over again 🤣
Looks like the full Schbonker tidy 🏴👍
Proper job (said in a thick Welsh accent of course) 🤣
My choice would definitely be 135. Great videos 👍
Thanks Sue, I agree bigger is better 👍🏻
Loving the van build reminds me when i done my citroen relay L3 H2 i all ways fit a piece of flat wood along the back door area and do the same as you did but i think it leaves a nice finish and covers all the metal of the van 😊
Morning John, can’t have any metal showing but also don’t want carpet everywhere
Very informative and going to be a great build for someone ! Keep up the great work ! Love these videos 👏👏👍
Thanks mate 👊🏻
Really doing well on this one, great video.
Cheers mate 👊🏻
Hiya pal. Go for the 135 bed in sponge so you can cut the corners out at the back and push back to the doors. That’s what I’m doing in an L2 but I won’t have a shower to worry about.
Just about to do my ceiling and was scared to be honest but this vid makes it so simple. Thank you !!
I did think about that but wanted to keep the bed on the internal flares. I’ve done this ceiling in a few vans now and it works so well, glad it helped 👍🏻
When I converted my Ducato I used a 120cm(4ft) mattress and was plenty wide enough but the extra 6” was better used on the front bench etc. 👌🏽
Is there one or two of you in the bed?
Wow what a super job you are making of it ...Lost me with the measurements tho lol
Thank you, I tried my best 🤣😂
Amazing your so talented.
Thank you 💙
Quality build,quality editing. Everything smacks quality. I was wonderin why you use the term budget.
Thanks mate, I use the word budget because the final price tag will be no where near what some are trying to charge 👍🏻
Might be budget but I really like the easy you've done the roof, great build too, enjoying it
Thanks mate, budget price not budget build 👊🏻
Cracking work, it took me months to get to that stage with just working on the van Saturdays, really enjoying your workflow 👍👍👍
Thanks mate, weekends only take time bud but it does give you plenty of thinking time and deliveries are easier 👍🏻
Nice one stu enjoying this build, looking good pal
Thanks mate 👍🏻
Excellent job mate 👏 👍
Thanks bud 👊🏻
Great videos my friend am doing the same venture as yourself also doing all upholstery too as I'm a marine upholsterer. I'm taking templates of everything using fibretex patterning fabric. Doing the same van type . I'm at the same stage. Reference bed area I am going small double 135cm width ways. That 15cm is a lot in a van and realised I can get a small pull out pantry between bed and shower . As I'm doing same layout . I'm going gasless in mine . Insulated the same except used trimfix high heat adhesive for boards , no squeaking and stayed up . Also using 2 x maxxair in my roof with a marine fusion dab to go with my fusion sound system. Great build
Your van sounds mint mate, send us some photos when your done. Where do I place my order for new seat covers 🤣
I would go with the 135 so much better when you need a new mattress, we have always had a 135 mattress for 43 years with no problems,
I’m thinking the 135 will be a bit more comfortable 👍🏻
135! Sleep is so important
Have to agree mate 👍🏻
Hi…new subscriber here. I’ve followed you on your other channel for a while but this channel is just brilliant…you manage to describe what you are doing in terms that everyone can understand…well done. I look forward to seeing the finished build 🇬🇧👍
Thank you Alan I appreciate that mate 👍🏻good to know that what I’m explaining is both understood with my accent and is helping 🤣
You might have decided by now, but I'd go 135 for the bed. Comfort is king.
You right mate got to be comfortable, 135 won 👊🏻
Hi, brilliant video! Please could I ask if you sound deadend and thermolined the roof and floor before putting the boarding in? Cheers Josh
Hi Josh, yes we sound deaden all the panels and use insulation in both the floors and walls 👍🏻🚐
Nice fella, comes across really well. As a chippy myself, its tempting me to have a go at doing one. Another subscriber now.
Thanks mate, have a crack it’s been refreshing to do it mate 👍🏻
Like the way you’re presenting this conversion, very good explanations. On the bed, totally depends on who the end user is really, we’ve used a 120 for a few years, a little closer than at home but 🤷🏻♂️ it’s nice to have the extra living space, if we were bigger a 120 would be too small 😀👍🏼
Thank you, I’ve played it safe so made it a size for everyone, 135 won 😂
@@VanologyConversions nice one, probs for the best! Spooning is nice but not all night, every night 😂
🤣😂
Bigger Bed Definitely !!
I agree mate 👍🏻
Excellent vid fella. Learning so much from you... !!! :o)
I’m glad it’s helping mate 👍🏻
Quality video pal, loving this content
Thanks bud 👊🏻
Hey! I'm new to your channel. Finally, a camper builder who knows what he's on about 🎉
Quick question: that rod-like thing you used to temporarily prop up the ceiling ply piece....what is it and where can i find one to buy please? Cheers pal and all the best 👍🏼
Hi they are plasterboard props and can be found in the link below at Amazon amzn.to/4cfYnri
Looking great so far. Hopefully you dont have the same issue as me with the stick pins. They worked great on the ceilling but found on my relay after doing the sides that the clips pulled that tight that the outside of my van panels were pulling in where the pins were. I cut the heads off the pins and had to use a sucker to pull the panels back in line. Just something to keep a eye out for
I was conscious of that even though I’ve not heard of that before. I didn’t tighten them as much as I could have and then used expanding foam tacks to hold in place 👍🏻
Great stuff big man 👍
Cheers Jake 👊🏻
I'm in the process of building a ducato. We are putting 120cm double bunk in the rear. Love the content, new subscriber. Keep up the good work
Thanks George, good luck with your build send us a photo when you’ve finished it 👍🏻
Hi Stu, Having just purchased a Peugeot Boxer I've enjoyed your videos. Could you tell me where I could get the bonded widows that come with fly-screens please.
Hi mate we get them from trade glass uk 👍🏻🚐
I’d go 135 too tbh, great work again!
I agree bigger is better 🤣 thanks mate 👍🏻
Looking good stu
Thank you 💙
Go large on the bed.
You can't move the shower once it's in.
You could always move the bed edge by the rear doors forward later and use the space.
I agree mate, larger bed is required and I can work around that 👍🏻
The vans Looking good stu x
Thank you 💙
Is that 6mm ply on the ceiling? Nice job, I’m just putting one together myself so this is super helpful ❤
Yes we use 6mm for walls and ceiling 👍🏻🚐
We manage with a 1200, but looking at my van now, same as yours, I’d go for the bigger one if I’m honest. ✌️
Great feedback mate thank you 👍🏻 experience trumps
Myself i would design a bed that wraps around the end of the washroom enclosure a little, and is perhaps foldable or telescopic ? Then say you had 2 single mattresses stacked on each other by day, and they slot alongside each other for sleeping ?
Voila!
Depends also on lengthways or transverse sleeping orientation doesn't it ?
Plus if we are around 6 feet tall or more, then options are more limited.
Its always a nail biter when you want max living space but don't want to sacrifice sleeping area.
The lwb boxer/ducato is equivalent to a mwb on the sprinter and crafter so options are quite restricted. I can get a full length mattress in the boxer but if you wanted bigger I would have to fit flares 👍🏻
We were told the headboard area will stain from the constant use of the people’s head ( grease, sweat ) if carpeted. We used a stick on tile in the headboard recess and it looks great. Where the mattress is concerned - we went for the smaller one- and it suits us both well. 👍
I didn’t think it would be any different to a fabric head board 🤔 I’ll ask about this weekend at the show and see what people’s feedback is who have it carpeted 👍🏻
nice work stu
Thanks Phil 👍🏻
Pretty sure you can fit armrests on other side.
I have seen it done before, if I got the time and budget I may look at it 👍🏻
Looking fantastic would go 135 cheers 🍻
Thanks mate, agree mate bigger bed is the way to go
Fantastic work, really enjoying the content; Can I ask what are the things called that you use to hole the insulation on? thanks keep up the greatr work
Thanks mate, I call them sticky pins 🤣 not sure on the actual name I’ll see if I can find them 👍🏻
Brilliant I found your channel, I'm looking into converting the same van. You have inspired me.
As someone mentioned it would be great if you had templates or even pre cut panels for sale
Thanks 👍
Oh I’m def keep the templates on the bloody b pillar and wheel arches, such a big time consumer if doing from scratch.
Stu mate, You need to slow down!! Your making the rest of us look like we’re sat on our arse’s all day!lol🙈😂
Seriously bud, amazing progress 👍🏼
Plus, if the “content” is going to continue in this style mate …good detail with what your doing whilst being snappy and not long winded your going to get a great following 👍🏼
Thanks guys, I can’t slow down I only have two speeds “off and on” 🤣 am enjoying the build and videos at the moment 👊🏻
Great job can I ask where you got the lightweight ply I’m going to be converting my van soon , also did you put vapour barrier? Well done thank you and good luck 👍👍👍🏴🇨🇦🇬🇧
I get it from Morland in Welshpool mate. No I don’t fit vapour barriers in van. You can’t stop the moisture so better to work to allow it to remove. So I work in low and high level venting and also venting within the walls. You can’t stop it so no point in trapping it in there 👍🏻
Hi. That roof tail board. , If you take it down , cut another as a copy, mark up ask vehicle template, then you will have a template to work too next time rather than having to measure it all up and addd the curves Just an idea. 😂😂😊😊😎😎
When I get into the full swing of it I will for sure be doing some templates 👍🏻
With total Respect to you, too many measuring numbers talk, just do it.I always thought Liam the Terrible could talk, but Jessssus.
I tried the just talk and got told more details please, I can’t win 🤣
Glad to see my new van is coming along nicely, you're doing an amazing job!! 135cm for my bed please! 😂
Consider it done 👊🏻
@@VanologyConversions Stu, is it manual or automatic transmission? Tia 😊
Great video Stu, You explain everything so clearly and having converted our own van you make it look so easy . Cant wait to see the rest of the build and how it ends up.
Thanks Guys it’s a fine balance between actually working and recording 🤣
Hi Vanology, you mentioned doung a conversion on a crafter before, do you have that series on youtube too?
Hi, yes we do, it isn’t as detailed but still a decent build series. It’s on our main channel “The Rolling Rucks” 👍🏻
Hi man,
Great videos. Bought my van around same time as you and was enjoying seeing how you’d get on and learn a lot prior to starting mine.
I’m from a Carpentry background my self same as you. Have you switched jobs from Carpentry now to full time van build. ?
Love to make the jump and do full time van builds my self.
Look forward to next videos
Hi Rolly, yes been a carpenter for 20 years and the last 10 years specialised in Kitchen Renovations but got bored of it, so yes this is my full time job now and I’m loving it 👊🏻
@@VanologyConversions quality man, keep it up inspiration to many people from the trade.
Nothing worse dealing with domestic clients 😅
I was thinking it just didn’t wanna say it 😱
135 for the bed deffo 😊
For sure mate 👍🏻
Hi Stu! Great progress. I'm not sure how you are going to manage the builds in the winter with the van outside? I can see you doing really well with this venture and expanding into a unit where you have more space? Loving the vlogs.
I’m already on the hunt for a unit but in my area they are like gold dust 🤣 saying that I love the cold
Great content stu I'm building a relay l3 h2 what thickness ply have you used on ceilings and walls
Thanks mate, we use 5.5mm Hardwood ply 👍🏻🚐
Can I ask why you didn’t put up a vapour barrier on the walls and ceiling?
I’m inquisitive because I’m at the same stage in the build well, I’ve put the vibration mats on, 10mm soundproofing and 25mm PIR boards.
TIA.
Vapour barriers are a waste of time in my opinion. You can’t make a van water tight on the inside so all your gonna do is trap the moisture in there. Best to build it to allow it to breathe with high and low level venting to evaporate 👍🏻
@@VanologyConversions that makes a lot of sense to me tbh and thanks for getting back to me so quickly 🙌🏼👊🏼
Hi what size cable is suitable for max fan brilliant videos still.
The maxxfan runs at 5 amps, we run 2.5mm cable for the majority of our electrics to allow for any changes later on. If your going to spec a lower rated cable which you can be sure to calculate your voltage drop on the length and take into consideration you may use the cable to power the lights on the shade too 👍🏻
Great budget build 👌……….How tall r u ? Your head is almost touching ceiling 😮
I’m just shy of 6 foot, I’ve measured the ceiling height and it’s 6’ 1.5” 👍🏻
Just wondering how you are getting on with your business. We found out on the Deeds of our house and now where we live it states we cannot run a business from our address. Are you looking for larger premises as winter looms. Cheers from old George and Jane ❤👧🤠👫
Luckily we don’t have that here in our borough but that being said I am on the hunt for a unit 👍🏻
Do you have a link please for the insulation board spikes and holders? Thank you in advance 😊

@@VanologyConversions Thank you 😊
135 stu for sure
100% bud had to be done 👍🏻
How come you didn't tape over the insulation along the roof line like you did the rest ?
Because I don’t want to create a vapour barrier, when I come to cladding walls I’m also ensuring they are able to breathe also 👍🏻
Love it! How has this channel got so big so quick??
Because I am a legend 🤣😂 to be fair we obviously used the main channel to promote this one but also van build channels tend to do very well 👍🏻
@@VanologyConversions ahh OK, what's the main channel?
The rolling rucks is our vlogging channel 👍🏻
Great videos I’m currently building a 2018 crafter and like the lightweight furniture board where did you get it from if you don’t mind me asking ?
Thank you, I loved building our crafter, they’re built so good 👍🏻 I get the light weight ply from Morland in Welshpool 👊🏻
@@VanologyConversions Great I’ll check them out thanks. I agree crafters are very well built got as far as full strip and clean, windows, fan and sound deadened. Oh also fitted a reverse camera to waiting for side pods to arrive 🤞 this week.
Sounds like your well away 👊🏻
Hi, I am very interested in seeing this build and the outcome. As I may ask to build me one.
I better go my game then 🤣
Quality work stu 👏 vans coming on a treat. What happens is you go overweight in the bulid do it matter?
Thanks Nigel, yes weight is an issue in all campers. I’ve designed this to be as light weight as possible even using the light weight ply 👍🏻
@VanologyConversions thanks for taking the time to reply as I know your really busy. I'm thinking of doing a self build myself so just trying to get as much information as possible and someone mentioned the weight problem do you take your van to get weighed during the build or hope for the best 🤣
23:25 nail gun make please
It’s the Milwaukee M18 finish nailer mate
Our van has dark beige & cream & light beige, obviously some has been replaced in the past, it drives me mad, coz it all oddments
I actually like the beige, you just don’t see it that often in vans. I’m using above the headliner but I think any high traffic areas go dark 👍🏻
@VanologyConversions it will look great in
Any colour & why do the same as everyone else, the new owner will love it. Mine needs ripping out & redoing, it needs the whole interior ripping out, so you may get a call when I have saved a bit. When the gas bottles I have are empty, i wont be able to get that size so, I will need to rearrange the van then.
Stu, what size PIR did you use on the back doors. I've just done mine in 50mm sits abit proud for me?
Don't worry 😂 I snapped the back of it to curve it abit that's sorted it. Off to tack I go
That’s it mate just a bit of man handling required sometimes 👊🏻
Forgot to ask.. what size tounge and groove did you use? Please
8mm both B&Q and Wickes stock it 👍🏻
Thank you!!
135 bed defo
100% mate 👍🏻
A wider shower
I can only go so wide as the kitchen is opposite 👍🏻
