Excellent build done to a professional standard. Looks like the Van I need in my garage. The Ford Connect is ideal for a MicroCamper build and with regular mechanical care will do up to 300k miles.

Absolutely top shelf practicable build Harry..👏 Have similar fridge as yours and it works a treat. Expect my seat frame height is near enough to yours but I use a Quechua air mattress as opposed to the 10cm foam mattress you use. Your's might be a better option as it doesn't involve the setup needed with mine, ie: inflate every time.. I like that you don't have to exit the van as I see so many others having to do to set the bed up..👏 You've given me the idea I needed for storage/unit on passenger side top and bottom. Great van builders there today..🚐👏👏☘

Maybe a car-bro can help, but are American versions of the Ford Transit Connect bigger? I swear every American Vanlifer who converts theirs has more headroom and slightly wider space to work with, maybe its the style of the conversion not sure.

@HarryEmblem Күн бұрын

@@eddy_creative hi mate! This is a transit connect, which is a smaller combi version of the normal Transit

@eddy_creative 21 сағат бұрын

@@HarryEmblem Ohh I know but I think the USA version is bigger? (connect). Look at "Jugaad It Yourself " her channel. She has so much space above her head, and its in a connect, not transit 😅 Everything is bigger in US i guess!

Hi. Great use of space and not cluttered at all! Can you tell me if you thought it necessary to put in a window in the sliding panel door? Just wondering if the roof light gives enough light if the doors are all closed during the day time - say if it is raining outside. I was thinking of installing a window and would appreciate your thoughts. Cheers.

@HarryEmblem 4 ай бұрын

Thank you mate! I think a window on the sliding door is a great addition. The sky light offers a good amount of natural light, but with a window, obviously it would be enhanced. One of the negatives I see is taking away the ‘stealth’ element of these little campers!

@mikescanlon8191 3 ай бұрын

@@HarryEmblem Yeah. I agree. I can't decide whether to reveal my hand and put in two windows, or remain 100% stealthy! Once again, thanks.

@HarryEmblem 3 ай бұрын

@@mikescanlon8191 I guess it depends where you are going to be using the van most. If it's in buil tup areas you might want the stealth. If you out in nature go for the window!

@@rosealston8994 thank you! I would definitely love a van with a pop up roof! I don’t think it would be well suited to this transit connect. It’s also a consideration of budget, as they can get expensive!
