Love your drawer solution and the slide out bed. Good use of space !
trop bien mon FLO et ....... ta copine .vous avez fait un excellent boulot .Trop jolie le van bravo a vous deux
Excellent. Well done you two xx🤗
For the back door safety bracket, how it is when the doors are closed are they in the way when you sleep?
Chapeau ! y a du taf :)
You guys make it look super effortless and easy! Very inspiring as i'm planning to do very similar to what you've gone for.
Can I ask, forgetting the diesel heater, how effective was your insulation for temperature and outside noise / rattle? It looks like you guys were thorough - if it works well i'll aim to replicate 🙂
We use the van without insulation for a few nights and after with insulation and the difference is fantastic
Now it is only a few centimetres so you won't get the insulation as a house
But if you cover every piece of metal with insulation, vapour barrier and carpet it will keep the heat and make it cosy and warm
Then when the diesel heater is added it is just amazing how in 5 minutes you can bring the temperature very high even in very cold weather
Good luck with your build
Cool! Very beautiful. Why did you chose not to install swivels for the front seat?
Hey thank you!
I think it make sense to out swivels seat if you have a rock and roll bed.
Saying that the real reason was to be able to use the room under the seats
We have the diesel heater, leisure battery, and control panel
We are very happy with this setup so far.
I hope that make sense
Thanks
Love the van! Can I ask where you got your mattress? Did you make it?
We bought it in ikea and cut it to fit. Its ikeas cheapest foam matress and it was really easy to cut!
great work for a french mam
neat and cozy, great job 👍 by the way, is your van a L2H1 or L1H1?
L1H1
amazing job! can i ask where you got the mattress for the bed from please? Also, how much did the materials all cost for this build??
Thanks, we got the mattress from IKEA for £100 and it been fantastic!
For the total cost including the window it was around £2500
@@FLORIANCHARIER thank you. That helps a lot. That is good going for the little money spent. Could be my winter project like!!
Did you cut the mattress from ikea in half?
Once the bed is down, you can't use the water pump. Great conversion overall.
The IKEA mattress comes in a zipper cover
So we cut the mattress to size we wanted and in half and put it back into the original zip cover.
It means now the matress is protected and stays as '1 matress'
And for the water pump yes we still can use it but not as easy, but for brushing teeth at night we just use water bottle
Nice one mate! When do you come back to France? With your gf this time?
Love you😘
Thanks man 😊 we are normally coming to France with the van from the August 19th to September 17th
Lovely simple but very good build well done to both of you
Is that normal carper underlay? Does the fabric to breathe?
It is 4 way stretch carpet for vans and camper
Why do single unmarried people need Double Bed!!
And you will need insulation underfloor as well as sides and Roof!
