Oh and a great video. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks you!
Great honest content from a genuine guy, looks fantastic what you’ve done so far and can’t wait to see the finished result 👍👍
Well you’re lucky you don’t have to wait. Because that van is finished and has a happy owner. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great help
Thanks bud 👍🏻
Great and helpful video - I’m looking to build my own van at some point and found this really helpful - thank you - all the best, David 👍
Ah I’m glad. And thanks for commenting. That’s what it’s all about. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great work 👍
Cheers
Great build mate, truly inspiring.
Thank you sir.
Come a long way since I last checked in mate. Looking great, good shout on the sliding door card. I recently jetwashed under the van, forgetting I had the sliding door open and that panel got covered! Mine wipes clean luckily. 👍
Yeah. It’s totally obvious….. when you think about it 👍🏻
Another great video thanks, great tips but i just need to save a bit more money to get to your standard of work,, love the evo units to, stay safe 🚙🚙👍👍👍👍
Another great video. I've said before that I'll never do a build like this and this is true. But I am, hopefully, going to live in an an off grid home. And as I hate 'house work' I want to keep my living area to a minimum, so most of my time will be outdoors. As a result I've spent a lot of time looking at yacht builds, which also maximizes space. Your version of this has been invaluable.
Sounds like you have a plan. Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The grey Puntinella worktop looks good and is easy to replace if someone damaged or drops something onto it . Lovely build , I know what you mean about the router slip I did the same , you see it because you know 🥴 👍
Yeah. The laminated worktop will take a real battering too. Love the Evo stuff. Worst case if someone really does a number on it I can order another one. No real bother. Basically unscrews 👍🏻
Coming along nicely mate 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks pal 👍🏻
Build coming along very nicely mate 👍
Thanks brother 👍🏻
good job can not wait to start my Van
Oh I bet.
There is a lot to do though mate.
Great hoodie! 👍🏽👍🏽🤘🏽

Great vlog, new to your channel but already hooked. Mine is a 2022 sprinter free 600 s but looking to add some mods and change stuff really want to get rid of gas and go all electric, so looking forward to your solar generator video. Take care see you on the road.
This may be tomorrows video 👍👍👍
Another great video, invaluable tips and information too. Only problem is waiting another 7 days until the next one 😂
Ha. Love this!!!!
Very helpful.. please send loads of links
Coming on good have you got it booked out 👍👍👍
Just concentrating on the build at mo matey 👍🏻
Late to the party 😂 great vid mate, just stated my biggest build , gone from T6 to Crafter , great tips 👍🏻
Natural progression mate.
You have loads to crack in with ha ha
That’s a nice hoodie
Ha ha ha. All of that great consumer advice!!! And you go there. Narcissist 😂
Another great video, really enjoy these. I know this is not related but I was wondering if you could share the upholsterer that did your personal van cushions. Thank you, take care and stay safe xx
Hi. The guy that did the black van? He’s Called caravan upholstery. In Wigan. But not sure he is doing private kinda stuff at mo.
Thanks for more great tips, another brill video. Can't wait for you to reveal what water heater your going to put in.
Keep up the good work
Cheers👍👍👍
Ooh. That’s soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland wonder if I can hold out for that video🤔🤔🤔
@@stephenbulmer7148 nothing special mate. You going truma?
@@urbanarkoverland I'm really fancying a Webasto dual top Evo 8 but not sure it will fit where I want it.
Looked at the diesel Truma and the JP diesel Truma chinese copy. Also like APE VANS water heater in his Kong build.
Still undecided but the webasto is in the lead at the moment
@@stephenbulmer7148 I looked at the dual top. Way too much for what a van without an actual shower needs though.
Nice one bro. Really appreciating your sharing, very informative and with very approachable style. Thank you for taking the time ! Just one question. I am curious and my attention was drawn to the sweatshirt logo, so just wondered the source. Any interesting story or just one from the cupboard ?
Thanks for your great comment. That’s my buddy Rich from bugout vehicles uk (all one word)
He now has a sprinter 👍🏻
👍
👍🏻
good job well done
Thanks mate 👍🏻
Van looks amaing, I've just recived loads of EVO kit after watching your earlier videos!
Quick question ,which sink is that as looking for a small square shaped one.
Thanks
Hi mate. It’s another version of the domestic. All kinds out there. The worktop in the silver can only small. And having a sit on induction hob so went for sink only 👍🏻
The Evo stuff cool mate.
hi pal love the channel and the van keep up with the good work. did you find someone with a belt sander if not I have one I'm not fair from APE
Oh nice. Yeah think the zoo keeper gonna help me out. Thank you though. I appreciate the help 👍🏻
I'm inspired by the tweed you have used. Iv delayed the fabric wrapping as I have a dog who casts and most of the choices I have made have been with his needs in mind lol.
From your experience is tweed working for you on the interior other than that door?
Yes mate. Works great. It probably would have been fine on side door. Just preferred the wipe clean capabilities of the laminated ply 👍🏻
when I insulated my floor and it was raised I moved the door rubber up. I drilled and put in two rivnuts It was really simple. Didnt think about the sliding door getting wet, ill keep that in mind thanks. I'm really stuck with the electrics and dont know where to start. Any tips would be great. would love too see your plans
Yeah. I actually talked about this with Andy. He is lifting his floor by 30mm. So we sussed that for him. I will if I need to. It’s just such a shame as it’s a couple of mm 👍🏻
where can I get the B pillar covers Aidan ? You know the ones after the bulkhead is removed. What side are you putting your main electrics board ? cheers bud
Hi mate. They are from Mercedes’. Unfortunately I do not have part numbers. I’m putting electrics passenger side. Find it the natural place as electrics go up over sliding door 👍🏻
hi, good helpful videos, where do you get your tweed from, is it especially for vans
cheers rich
Link in description mate
Iv got a DA sander if you can wait
Cheers pal. Think I’ve found an answer 👍🏻
Hi mate , where did you get those b post pillow trims ! Thanks
Main dealer mate
What size it that xtrons flip down tv?
Hi mate. Can’t remember. Full link is in another one of my vids.
Sprinter rear side window
?
How much do you hope the conversion to cost, not including original van cost
Cheers
20 👍🏻
Hey Aiden, can you remember which high lockers these were? (Both sides) And what length they are. Design Layout 1 High Lockers ? Ta
High locker custom width sprinter. 1600 for both 👍🏻 had to dig out the invoice 😂
@@urbanarkoverland sorry to be a pest, it just saves so much time just asking! Thanks for your help
@@keirmarsden528 no probs. 👊🏻
New subscriber here😊
That tweed is lovely. Where is it from? How difficult is it to manipulate around the curves in the van?
Hi mate. Thanks for joining.
Link in description. Pretty much always will be on this channel
How hard…/ hard 🥴
@@urbanarkoverland much love, thank you.
Haha, I take that as very hard. Tempting me to use it!
@@ChrisTewkesbury yes. Can be done of course. Just in sections 👍🏻
Think I'm being estupid, I can't find the tweed link?😅
Hi mate, I’m about to start a MWB Crafter (4 berth) using a rib also. Wondering what width rib you went for? Considering the gap between the kitchen unit and the rib
Hi mate. Mine is actually a 860. Smallest they do. That will be wide enough for one. Adult or child 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland cheers! Do you think the gap would be a bit tight with a 1 metre width?
@@terrymann1763 the 960? Look at outfit my sprinters first build. That’s what his was 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland yeah 960. Will have a look, cheers 👍
@@terrymann1763 no probs.
Another question, so discussed today my lovely tweed with my trimmer and after he frowned that it was not four way stretch he raised his concerns about trimming the areas around the side and rear door opening saying he may not be able to stretch it. First question if I may ,did you foam behind those areas as well, basically how did you achieve such a great finish using the tweed which has no stretch? Sorry to ask another advice question….. I have said to my trimmer urbanarkoverland has managed it:)
Ha ha. You do have to put joins in. It’s not easy. But if he is a trimmer he should know. It does have a direction. You will probably use it as left to right if the roll as opposed to up to down. Like the opposite of wall papering. Which means the pillar will have a join half way down and then one in the corner. Then do the head. (The top). Yes I used 4mm foam around door pillars 👍🏻 do you follow me on pink square social?
@@urbanarkoverland no I understand fully, I had suggested running the material that way. Thanks for answer. Hopefully he will figure.
@@urbanarkoverland no and never heard of pinke square. Now I do feel dumb:)
@@roddatkinson5705 no probs. Contact me on the other place and can send pic.
@@roddatkinson5705 work it out mate. Can’t say the name.
You know i have a sander ✌🏻
One that I can put that on and shave it????
@@urbanarkoverland yup
@@urbanarkoverland am shaving 35mm off my next one 🙂
@@isurefly yes brother. 😂
Evo is a 9 week wait
Sorry to hear that. I know some of the boards were good to get hold of. Waiting myself.
Hi can you share a link to the tweed cannot see anything in the deception. Many thanks
I have a video on the tweed where you will
Find the link
@@urbanarkoverland i have looked about 20 time must be looking in the wrong place any clues please ?
@@brentperkins8680 have you found my tweed video. The video specifically about the tweed. The link is in the description. On that video
@@urbanarkoverland found it thanks
@@brentperkins8680 👍🏻
those door locker struts could u give me size and NM off it please?
It’s flat pack buddy. So don’t know any of that. Havnt got a link or anything. From evomotion 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland it be printed on the strut itself pal
@@NOMAD-LEISURE I’ll take a look in the morning pal 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland cheers bud
Sorry, but you need more bed slats, the distance is too far. The distance should be approx as the width of the slats
Thanks. But this is the distance they come when on a bed in the uk. Thanks though.
Doesn’t look like you’ve done much my arse 🤣 It’s probably more finished than 90% of the self conversion’s out there. Good tips on the slider… I would have put an elastic storage net on the top cupboard to disguise the gap. 👍🏼 🚐
That’s a good idea. I’m actually fixing my diesel heater dial and a few electrical bits up there. Changing the panel is easy enough. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I concur Jonny, I am putting in the exact same ceiling as Aidan with the panels from Evo, the foam, the Tweed fabric, cutting out the fan aperture, the puck lights etc and its a lot of work believe me. One big tip is to get the ply panels because it saved me even more work and stress. Working above your head is one of the most difficult jobs, especially on your own. I'd be lost without Aidans videos as ive studied them even down to the positioning of the lights from looking at the nylon bolts. 2 days so far and ive still not put the fabric on as im waiting for more glue.
@@frankiez7414 excellent. Hope you even have to keep rewatching. Good for the watch time ha ha.
Glad the videos help. 👍🏻
