Hello, I'm starting to follow your project and it's really cool, I wish you the best of luck from Brazil 🇧🇷 on your adventure. I liked that the Vw Up offered in Europe is a little different from what was sold in Brazil

@ZoefontheMove Ай бұрын

Hola! Thank you so much for taking the time to write me a comment! Can you describe some things that are different on our VW Ups in Europe?

@lucastavares4597 22 күн бұрын

Hello! Really appreciate your journey with the Up! The brazilian made VW Up! It's a few centimeters longer to fit a slightly bigger fuel tank and trunk with a traditional metal door (not full glass). The rear windows also roll down like in other cars. This changes were made to make the Up! a bit more travel friendly, since brazilians travel long distances even if they have a small city car and often carry people in the back. It's noticeable when you use the car but hard to tell from pictures. Still the same car in terms of platform, powertrain, interior and exterior design.

Hey Bro, really nice micro camper conversion. I am currently working on my Octavia conversion and I am still looking for a proper mattress to roll up or fold tight. What model did you use? Always save travels and greetings from Germany 😊

@tolga6780 21 күн бұрын

man that was super cool. Maybe a bit of an unrelated question, but are you happy with the quality of the tools you used? I noticed they are the Parkside brand, which is also sold in Lidl with relatively good prices, and I have been wondering if they hold up well for projects like yours

@ZoefontheMove 21 күн бұрын

Hola! Interesting question! To be honest, they are sufficient for something like this. But if I were to do a van conversion sometime in the future, I would buy something more decent (and accurate).

@johnaisheed598 Ай бұрын

Awesome video! Just out of curiosity, was there any reason to why you did not remove the back seats for some extra room?

@ZoefontheMove Ай бұрын

Because I wanted it to be able to quickly convert it back to normal car. The front seat is only 4 bolts. And another thing I took into consideration, was when you remove the rear seatsa few times and put it back, it is going to rattle over time. My car is completely silent inside on uneven roads 😅 But I must say, I did expect to have more space. Read: less stuff with me. I was a bit over-prepared 😬

If I may ask: how wide is the matras? My mazda has only 60 cm between the drivers seat and the passenger door, while mattresses usually start with a width of 80cm?

I can't find exactly mine, but it was this size. www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/opvouwbaar-matras-1-persoons-70x200x15-cm-donker-grijs/9300000003688527/

If U remove the Seat. Does the Airbag bulb lighting?

Yes. But you can easily reset the airbag light with an OBD2 dongle, after placing the seat back.

Toffe videos, maar heb wel een vraag waar heb je de bekleding voor de panelen vandaan?

Het heet naaldvilt. Kan je overal kopen. Wel flexibele nemen, anders krijg je het niet mooi om rondingen heen.

@Sadjina 5 күн бұрын

Excuse my surely stupid question, but why the power bank for the Diesel heater? To start it, or does it need permanent electricity for its pump?

@ZoefontheMove 5 күн бұрын

Because it needs to start up the combustion. That takes a lot of energy. After it's running properly, the power draw drops and is only for the fuel pump and the fan.

@jansmit4690 15 күн бұрын

Je moet niet met een bijna lege benzinetank rijden want in de bocht staat je pomp dan droog te malen en dan gaat hij dus stuk.

@ZoefontheMove 15 күн бұрын

Dat valt wel mee tegenwoordig. Als hij droog staat te maken krijgt de motor geen brandstof meer. Denk dat er condens bevroren is, en iets stuk gemaakt heeft. Hoe dan ook, hij doet het weer nu!

@laurensvandenhoven2805 14 күн бұрын

waarom heb je de achter bank er niet helemaal uitgehaald ? dan heb je veel meer ruimte

@ZoefontheMove 12 күн бұрын

Omdat ik dacht dat ik meer ruimte zou hebben, maar m'n dikke 2 persoons winter dekbed nam veel ruimte in. Wilde ook snel weer terug kunnen naar normale layout. Hoef nu alleen 4 boutjes van de voorstoel te doen om van camper naar auto te gaan.

@D4VE26 15 күн бұрын

Why did the heater not run off 12v??

@ZoefontheMove 15 күн бұрын

It did, but it needed more than 10 amps that you would get from the accessoiry plug on the Power Station. So I needed an inverter that would connect to the 230V outlet on the power station, and turned it into 12V again, but now with 20+ amps. The heater had a label on it with >17 Amps.
