Replacing the slide out sections in the rear of the Elddis CV40 camper van with a permanent fixed bed base. The two pieces I have removed weigh 15.2 kilos in total. The wooden board I replaced them with weighs 6.9 kilos. Just for info. 👍😁

Hi Ian. Two really good vlogs on the fixed bed replacement. Think all the additions and fixes you've made are real pluses for using your van and are ones I'll bear in mind if we make a change in the future. Thanks for sharing them. Looking forward to more. Travel safe. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs

George and Trish....Thanks for the lovely comments. I always enjoy reading positive feedback and always appreciate the comments people leave. Haven't had any negative feedback on my channel yet so I assume that people are happy with what I am doing. I'm no expert and would never claim to be. When I have an idea of what I think would improve the van for me, I like to share it. I have had so many good ideas from other people and I always appreciate the time they have taken to share their ideas. This is just my way to pay it forward. Thanks for watching. 👍😁

My husband says best you put a few holes in that board for ventilation or it could get a bit moist🤣🤣🤣. Otherwise great job Ian!!!

Hi Ruth. Your husband is right. I will be drilling the holes shortly. Should have said in the video. I will mention it in the next video. Nothing worse than a moist mattress. 🤢

Nice one Ian. Not sure why you had to do the riviting stuff. Didn’t need to do any of that in my conversion. Still a excellent job in the end. Don’t forget some ventilation holes. Cheers 🙏👍🧙‍♂️

Hi Graham. I drilled out some rivets that I didn't need to to be honest and ended up replacing them. Every day is a school day for me mate. I did take out the sliding sections completely and I am currently moving the opening doors on to the bits that are left. Not enough to make a full video but I will add it to another video as an update later. New video out on Saturday and you and your channel get a mention for your top tip. Thanks for the comment. You know it means a lot to us smaller channels. Hope you and Ellie are both well. 👍😁

The job is a gooden, what I did with mine was drilled a couple rows of 11/2" air holes for air to get to that part of the mattress or will you be taking the mattress out over the winter.

You're spot on Mick. I will be drilling holes for ventilation. Just haven't got around to that yet. I probably should have said in the video. Ventilation holes are definitely needed.
