I've never wanted one of your builds as much as this one.

Really pleased to see that my old bus is starting a new phase of it's life. I buy Dale's electricity and he's bought my bus - seems a fair exchange!

Yes, this is the ultimate camper! Capable in every way, and quite handsome looking as well. This must have been a complicated build, but ECC has done a fantastic job. I am so glad they documented it in this video for everyone to watch.

I can't even guess how much this one cost to de-rust and convert. It's got every single feature you could possibly fit inside.

That green is the perfect colour in that environment. It also sends out the right signals from an ecological viewpoint. You've turned a noisy, smelly, gas guzzler into a pretty good off-road vehicle which can be used on vacations. It's just a bit heavy on battery consumption, but unsurprising with those tyres. Thanks guys. 🙂👍

This one I want so much! I had a 1980 Type 25 just like this and it gave me some of the most enjoyable driving ever...

This is what the ID BUZZ should have been, dang what a car.

My Hymer Exis I 504. Happy to let you have it as a prototype!!! 😊

I'm so glad I found this channel! You guys always make interesting builds and have a great sense of humor on and off camera. All around a great production and will be continuing to follow your channel as long as you guys post. I have a '69 transporter I've been considering an EV conversion on and this video gave me lots of good inspiration. Cheers!

I know the maths doesn't make sense, but I love the idea of the solar panels charging the main battery. Also good if you use the main battery to heat the camper overnight, and have it recharge over the day while you are down on the beach etc.

Geil! What a mega flex right in the first few seconds: silently gliding over the camera through the greens!

Love the vehicle! Might need a skid plate over the motor but overall excellent!

Wow - someone finally made a van (almost) right, by using the big battery for the internal kit, not adding a second one. But then he spoiled it by not connecting the PV to the main battery. Yes, you won't get any/many miles, but you will keep the hob/fridge gadgets running. (Pretty sure you could have got 3 panels on there Richard for 33% more 'parking regen'!) Decent sized battery pack too, which is what's needed to make a vehicle like this useful.

This is a great looking camper with everything you could want. Shows a real future (bodywork dependant) for some classic vehicles !

Love the ruff Dale...😁

Looks like it started out, as they say, "good from far, and far from good." Looks great now, love the color too!

Great video. As I write this in early July 2024 the VW ID Buzz is still NOT available to purchase in the USA (even though they have been showing various concepts of it for what seems like 20 years.) But here you are happily enjoying the Welsh countryside and making a bacon and egg sandwich in your much more off road worthy version. And instead of focusing on what real people would most likely want to do with it they seem to be targeting soccer moms, which is cool. But. They aren't even making a camper version...or a stripped down version which would lend itself to camping conversion. I like your idea of the crew cab with camper/tent box for the pickup bed. That vehicle could do pretty much anything you'd want of need all the while having all the advantages of being 100% electric.

Just been in Iceland driving a 4x4 California which was great, but what you have built here is perfect. Well done with the induction hob V2L, etc. those details are a game changer for camper-vans.

Hello, I'm very happy to see that you have converted a syncro to electric and you have enjoyed it a lot. It's a vehicle from another planet... A while ago I wrote to you to convert my syncro and you told me it was too modern, ha, ha, ha. I'm so glad you tried it and I hope it's not the last. Greetings from Spain.

I just moved to the UK from the US and I had an AWD Safari van with those same tires. That thing could go everywhere! I always wanted to do an electric conversion on it but never got the chance. Seeing this is the next best thing.

I’ve always liked the Sncro VW.

My heart! I’m so happy this can be done.

Very, very cool!! I wouldn't just camp with it, I would daily it

Nooice! When my 1979 Westy's engine finally gives up I want to convert to electric. Love the Synchro and location! Great video!! 😎 STOC

Mate this is mindblowing! Absolutely brilliant! Great work!

Vegan bacon!! Respect!!! Love the colour.

Great build!

This is insane and makes me want one even more then before. Thanks a lot for this video!

Great results Richard. Thank you for uploading this pearl

If I win the lottery, this would be my dream replacement for my current van❤

There are a million people in canada who would love one of those.

I saw a video about UAZ 2206 and instantly thought how great it would be if gutted and converted to electricity.

Back to the 80's👌👍😎

"a bit rusty..." Heh. Yeah, they all do that, sir. An interesting alternative to brown sauce on your sarnie is a bit of mustard. Sounds random, but it's actually pretty good.

Dream camper. One day - higher performance Na ion batteries maybe? Awesome build.

Honestly, I could think of a better vehicle for me personally. Great job on the build mate. Top notch. 👍🏻

You did it again!!! Great work!!!

Great build again guys. Nice bus. Waiting for the update on the Jensen!!!

That’s awesome, I have a Syncro and only today I was thinking about electric and the decline of petrol & diesel, great job in preserving the future!

great work and I absolutely adore the color!

I want this in my life so much , I love the Colour and all it's modern tech and It's the perfect vehicle. That customer is very lucky indeed . You have done a great Job restoring it 👍👍💯💯

I absolutely love this camper! I have a T25 which needs tlc i will start saving now to hopefully convert her in the future... What a project to work too.

Great build. I can’t wait to see something like this on a more modern camper that’s affordable.

You build my dream car! I had the same idea 15 years ago! Awesome, great job!

Perfection. BTW my grandmother had an Elna sewing machine from the 50s that was that same color. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Dale Vince Huh! Well done! Lovely build and a great result. love it.

What a brill conversion had VW most of my life and this is just brilliant mate.

Love them as many do but the old tin worm loves old VW vans and buses more..😉👍🏼😎 they built in the fiddly rust traps. Agreed on the crew cab version with a camper pod for the back and lots of solar.

The colour is fab!

Love this build so much - dream van. Great episode!

Absolutely love it 😍. It's seriously impressive. I know presently you have to be a millionaire to afford one, but they'll come down in price in due course. Well jealous.

Ok I'm selling the house and using the Model Y as a donor. A 4wd pop-up is my dream vehicle. Used to have a hiace pop-up camper as my daily runner and weekend getaway.

Love it sooo much. Great work of a great man.

Another good one! Thanks. Can I do a suggestion? A crib sheet, one A4 of the design specs per build, to keep with the car/van/etc? I appreciate that, given the amount of build you do and time it takes, that the specs/numbers become muddled. If you have a crib sheet, Moggy may have a glace and go less from memory ... "I think"... Anyway, just a tip.

I absolutely love this vehicle. The range would be problematic for Australia but everything else about it is perfect.

I don't think there is a single thing I'd change on this other than making it LHD for the states. I have a 81 westy in my driveway getting a Subaru drivetrain put in it, but believe me, had I the means to do so, It'd be in a container headed your way to get this treatment.

Well, straight away I would protect the wires. That opening scene showed the chassis and oh lookie, orange cables.

Nice suspension set up, good ground clearance without needing portal axles. No diff sticking down ruining the ground clearance 🙂

incrireble man! I hope some day i'll turn my 110 hcpu with you guys! tnks for sharing!

Ok, a better vehicle, although not a small van, is a UNIMOG. That would be awesome as an EV. I also wonder what it would be like if the awning was a big roll out solar blanket. Imagine opening your awning and its all solar! Great work guys.

With the vehicle being so quiet, it would probably sneak up on sheep successfully. In Wales this could be a unique selling point. You know. Because... 😅

For me the ideal would be a T3 or T4 crew cab, and a demountable camper unit - usable around the year whereas a tent-box is not great in mid winter

What a great van! Awesome job! Cheers from Indiana!

I drive an '81 VW Vanagon GL (air-cooled) and I would give anything to convert to electric! 60 hp on a 6500 lb beast is extremely underpowered and the mpg is atrocious. But everything else about it is a dream and going EV solves all of the drawbacks!

When the roof of electric cars can carry flexible solar panels powerful enough to charge their batteries on a good day with plenty of sun.. Then this would be super super dope.. But yeah, this looks great and would encourage a 3-5 days camping

Great review lads! I have been wondering who the owner was of this bus , now it makes sense! I watch Robert on Fully Charged and they speak highly of Ecotricity , and deep pockets were needed for this bespoke build. Cheers Gregg.

Good from afar, far from good. Done a nice job on it. Dale is a lucky man. Was thinking about converting a mitsi delica with outlander bits but i think like the look of this vanagon vw more. Probs lighter than a delica too. Now ive an env200 that i mean to upgrade but it serves really well as a camper. Not as good looking as this though.

NICE! I love this! Cheers!

Great video guys

+1 on the kit!

Nice vehicle now. Shame about the rust. But definitely worth saving in my opinion. Good work.

That's not bloody off roading, Moggie 🤣 that's a normal Australian country driveway 😂👍 Love the bus mate, outstanding effort. The results speak for themselves.

It's outstanding! Ticks all the boxes for me..including the colour! Perfect for here in Hawai'i!

30 seconds in, I want this!!

Love the EV Syncro. Well done

Even in the USA were folks are accustomed to huge RVs this vehicle would fare pretty well.

These days, older model camper cars with diesel engines are being banned from entering many European cities. I'd love to see one of them (preferably a big one) being converted. But a maximum range of 150 miles, (or 241,4 kilometres) is way too little for a car meant to take you to places far away... 500 kilometres is a minimum requirement...

The evolution of camping :-)

That is the coolest thing on wheels!

Wow! Now that's a sleeper!

wow that's an impressive leisure battery! Van is awesome too ;-)

That looks a great campervan

Yet another cracking build, one of the best so far in my opinion. It would be difficult to better, but money no object I'd have the conversion on a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 with a Redtail camping pod on the roof.

Fabulous, love it.

That is a gorgeous, and capable vehicle!

Great for sneaking up on people or wildlife.

I like your idea of the crew cab version, as long as the back seats aren't too squeezy. But for you, I STILL think a Land Rover Defender 130 single cab or crew cab with rear canopy or tent bed would be ideal. The long wheel base and maybe oversized battery pack makes for a great stable tow vehicle plus you can outfit if the way you like for camping etc. Other thoughts are a UniMog and a Pinzgauer. Lastly, I feel like the motor should have a rock slider bar underneath it incase someone drops the rear off a ledge and collects the Zonic on the way down. But it is a great build.

It's certainly is the perfect 4x4 best looking beast of a camper, the design utilises every inch of space of the vehicle 😍🤙

I'm gonna be honest, at first i wasn't really convinced by the camper, but now its finished i'm kind of jealous i don't own one, good job guys 😼👍

You've discovered why there is such a rabid fan base for Syncros

Very cool . Love it!

Love it!

It’s beautiful… Great job. 👍🏼 I think you may need mudguards though.

Well done with the restoration and conversion. I would go into debt to have one.

Absolutely perfect,

Superb restomod, I like subtle, so yeah, real nice camper. Id still get nervous with everything running of the single power source, but something you'd get used to.

Once drove a Syncro half way up the side of Kerridge ridge in Cheshire in a foot of snow, as good as the Land Rover showing the way, and I bet more comfortable. ( pity it was diesel ) You made good vehicle GREAT!

Excellent. Roof tent model? Looks really understated. Not a regular eyesore.

Yes please! 🙏

Love this. Love it.
