£50K PROFESSIONALLY BUILT vs £10K DIY BUILT CAMPER VAN

Күн бұрын

In this video I take out a professionally manufactured and converted Weinsberg Camper Van that cost £50,000 and compare it to my own self built and DIY camper van that cost £12,000. In this video we look at the pros and cons between both vehicles to see if a £36,000 price difference is worth it!

If I had 43K to spend on a van Will, you know what Id do? I'd spend 20K on buying a van and converting it to my own taste and the 23K left I'd have a bloody good time touring everywhere in it without fear of not being able to afford to use it. Nuff said 😊 BTW, I prefer yours to the soul-less clone you stayed in. Much respect- Kenny

we converted ours in a month but i did all the planning and purchasing for my dad. we ended up with mostly 100mm wool insulation mixed with some of that foil foam board stuff. bubble foil for vapour barrier and then cladding the walls , ceiling. has a shower in it too as well as permemnant single bed with under stoage, chest fridge. stove top and running water - ford h3 l4 van we put the diesel heater under the sink counter and raised it up put windows in the back doors and the sliding door. took the bulk head out and replaced that area with curtains (shower toilet behind the drivers seat) and a maxxvan for ventilation cost around £4000 for the interior - between the bed and a shower theres a kitchen pantry cabinet with a microwave on it and a weird ottoman type thing with arms on the sides but no back on it, but has storage in it (this sits over the wheel well) - good thing about the ford transit l4 we have a full width single between back door and wheel wells then sofa and kitchen cabinets are built around them i am terrible at diy but i'll upload the video i took near completion

Actually the vote is very subjective and wrong. Few things to take into account, the work he done and seems that was not alone value some money for which in the end the VAN values more than 12k GBP depending on each one hourly rate (in my case would not worth a DIY VAN, as I could buy a comercial one in 2 years and have no additional headache, while with a DIY one based on other experiences you need to do fixes all the time which in the end means more money and possible bad time in your trips. Another very important aspect, the DIY VAN has no warranty, no quality test passed, you can expect everything at any time. The fact the the comercial VAN has a shower is way more valuable than an oven, especially in the winter :P (in both VAN you need an Thermomix to make your life easier) ... entertainment is subjective too, you use the VAN to explore the world not to waste time watching TV / play games ... and if you really want to watch something during the night you can also have an Oculus VR, a laptop or a portable laser projector. Idk how he reach almost the same score with the Fire VAN, objectively talking is far away in many aspects, build quality, reliability, design (the way it looks and montage). Btw, you can bring various customisation to a comercial VAN too, but usually is not required as they are already well designed. Should we talk about ITUV? ... Not sure his VAN will pass it in various of EU countries. Not a hater but a realistic point of view. If you are a mechanic / electronist, is a hobby project and it happens to not have enough money for a comercial one, of course a DIY is the best to go, but for 90% of us which no real knowledge I think if you really enjoy camping then get a comercial VAN or a rulote/caravan (is cheaper).

The main reason we did self build was after looking at a lot of off the shelf vans, nothing had everything we wanted and where we wanted it. The layouts didn't work for us. So after months working on our self build in 202/201 we are very happy with Glo or being in Wales and fans of Gavin & Stacey known as Glo'lar. We did our first long haul trip to Scandinavian this year which was awesome.

First time on your channel. Mary is a very nice short van, unique, with the best kitchen unit. Still though, if money was no object, I'd buy from a local professional converter and go as bespoke as possible with them. Then I'd rely on their expertise and warranty to fix what goes wrong during ownership. Hold on... Maybe I would be better off converting a van myself, so that I could fix anything that goes wrong myself. Yeah, diy is probably best.

Gotta say, I would prefer Mary over the Fire. Yes, it's new and shiny, but the colours are boring and it looks really cramped. I honestly don't believe you need to spend tonnes and tonnes of money to get what you need. I'd rather spend a little money doing up a van to the way I like it, than spend 50k and then have to fork out more money to adapt it to my liking. Mary gets my vote. Aside from a shower, she has everything you need. Keep up the great work, Will :)

Sliding door on the curb side of the van is better so you can get in and out from the curb and, when you have the door open, it's not open to traffic driving past the van. So for right hand drive vans, that's the passenger side, i.e. win for your van, not the professionally-built one.

I'd prefer the self-build every time (I'm converting an ex-Tesco Iveco) but the main difference in cost is the labour. You took 18 months, I am 24 months in and still about 6 months off finishing. But mine will be exactly what I want, very little compromise will be made when finished. Mine was also £6k but once finished it will probably be insured for around £27k. (The LiFePo batteries were £3k on their own!).

It amazes me how little originality there is in the professionally produced products. I’ve rebuilt my van four times and am happy now? Went with 5.4m as well because it can fit in a normal parking space. I tried to divide the interior by how much time each activity takes during the day. A permanent shower/toilet space seems to me to be a waste of space - how long does anyone spend on the toilet every day? Conversely, my bed only takes two minutes to make but I’m going to spend eight hours in it. All facilities are inboard, nothing hanging underneath. 70lt water, 50lt waste, 4 burner domestic hob, domestic size sink, big worktop, 80lt fridge, comfortably seats four at the table - could squeeze nine! with swivel seats, 2800kg fully loaded.

With this 'bought van' your observation about the seating around the table is really important - there is not enough space. Additionally with the 'bought van' I don't think that they have 'thought through' the bathroom - better if it was 'shower sized' with a cassette toilet that could be pulled out of the wall (from under seating or the bed) when it is needed). I think you made better choices - 'build your own'.

Realistically buying and converting your own van with prices how they are then going through the process of buying everything and fitting it plus extras you don’t add into the cost. plus you would need to change its use and meet the DVLA criteria to register it as a camper otherwise it’s always a panel van and valued as such add onto that mot & insurance may not be as water tight as you’d like when it’s a camper but the logbook says panel van 🤷🏻‍♂️ . the £’s quickly ad up to more than most would like to admit, it’s not quite a like for like comparison.

Lovely video Will! But are you sure the Fire is longer than Mary? In every angle (of this video) Mary looks longer, bigger and taller. And maybe a silly way to compare but at 1:31, if you measure it with a ruler, Mary is 8.2cm and the Fire is 8cm, so u sure about the 2 feet difference in length?🤣

I could have sworn the Weinsberg Campervan was bigger just from the way it looked in real life and how it felt longer inside the vehicle but I think from the comments I must be wrong 😂

I wouldn't give the point to Fire for sliding doors on the drivers side. It's better to have it as is in your van just in case you park by the pavement in a correct traffic direction and easy to access from the pavement. That's my opinion. Also your van is just better value for money.
