  • This is a video showing our vw caddy going from barn find to CAMPERVAN.
    Hope you enjoy it we do have a few more vans in the pipeline.
    Sorry for the bad edit but this is the first time for us doing the video hopefully next time it will be better.
    The build took us around 20 hours.

    Would you be able to link the flat pack that you bought?
    Loved the video and hoping to do something similar

      Hi Emily, the flat pack was from vanfurniture.co.uk. Hope yours goes well and enjoy it 🙌

    Looks great! I'm looking at buying the same set up, how did you secure it to the floor?

    Awesome video! did you insulate the van at all??

    Great conversion. What did you use to clean out the footwells. Looked like a foam of some sort. Came up great

      Hi James, I used a product from AutoGlym called “clean all” diluted with some water it’s a great all purpose cleaner 👍👍

    Nice job 👍 though I would have rather seen the more technical aspects (wiring/insulation) as opposed to cabinet assembly and painting.

      Hi Christophe, we agree with your words and that’s why we have opted in the “berlingo” to try so as much as we can ourselves. Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy future videos

      Agreed, far too much time in sweeping out the van and painting...

    Great video I was just wondering with taking out the sheet at front what type space to you have from head toe ? Or do you need to put seats down to feel comfortable?

      Hi Shane, I’m 5’9 and I fit in it comfortably, If I remember rightly I didn’t need to adjust the front seats. I would suggest if your a bit taller or plan on spending a lot more time in the van than say 2/3 nights a caddy maxi is longer. Thanks for the comment and happy new year!!

      The front seats are very easy just 4 torque bolts holding them too the base. The flat pack is made by van furniture

    Not the caddy maxi right? How long is the bed? Can a 1.80m person fit inside? Do you move the front seats to sleep?
    Nice build!

    • @afterhoursautomotive
      @afterhoursautomotive  Před 2 měsíci +1

      It's not a maxi no, you would just about fit if you laid straight. We recommend moving sit forward a little but not too far as it lends itself as a headboard.

    How much head room do you get when in the bed/sat down

    • @afterhoursautomotive
      @afterhoursautomotive  Před rokem

      Hi James, to be honest I don’t think it was sufficient head room for me sat up straight (5”9) though I suppose you could argue everyone naturally slouches. Hope this helps.
