May I ask how you fitted the double seat in the back, that’s exactly what I want to do so the 2 kids can actually travel with us when I finish my build 🤣.

Hi Stu, great series you are doing. Tip i had when cutting windows was use a dot punch on the inside to mark the cut line, saves drilling a load of holes. Also if you remove the base plate from the jigsaw and use the blade wheel guide as a rest avoids the base plate fouling the bodywork on the corner cuts. All got different ways of doing it but this works well for me. Good luck with the rest of the build.

I've got a Ryobi cordless mastic gun and wouldn't switch back to a manual one now. If you get something similar just have a little practice with it first before using it on the job. I got expensive sikaflex all over the place because I didn't read the instructions properly and didn't try it out before climbing onto of the camper to reseal the skylights.

good advice 👍 I find it works brill when I use low revs to 'keep the feel' when it matters, and when nearing the end put the chuck into reverse for a mo to stem the flow to a stop. I'm also not going back to manual except for the tiniest, tiniest of jobbies.....

When I did my first Ducato conversion I used the angled bit near the back doors for the bed. You lose approximately 6” of space if you don’t. Never wanted to open the doors from the bed so having the back board against the rear doors worked a treat. 👍🏼

@thenoworriesnomad 8 ай бұрын

I did the same in my van regarding the bed plus I put a handle at the top of the door so I could open it in an emergency...

Two reason I don’t use it, the first you touched on and that is easy access to the handle in an emergency and the second is the gap falls below the 1900 mark so would then need a custom mattress

@viv-i-vangoesforth 8 ай бұрын

I gotta admit that when I did Viv's windows ( my first ever) I was frightened to use a jigsaw and I borrowed a nibbler from a friend, Much less swarf and I felt a lot more confident doing the cutting. In the end, both windows came out ok. Love that van though. Its really making me want to go bigger but I invested so much time and money in Viv that it will be quite a while before I get a new van. If I did, your last built would be the way I'd go- though those extra seats are very useful. Great news on on Unit- specially with winter charging in. You'll be able to be cosy and warm converting more vans. Incidentally, you dont hang about converting Stu. Colour me most impressed!!!! Looking forward to Vanology's new premises and the new vans you create. Much respect to you all as always- Kenny

Looking like it’s going to be a great conversion again, can’t believe the speed of your workflow 👍🏻 Just a couple of questions about the seating. 1. Where are you sourcing the passenger seat from? I know you’re using a modified drivers seat, but I just can’t find one anywhere! 2. How have you fitted the rear seats? I’m assuming they are the front double passenger seats? Thanks 😁

@VanologyConversions 8 ай бұрын

Hi Andrew, I get the single seats from eBay but they are few and far between and well over priced. The rear bench seat is the original from the front and used the c pillar for the new seatbelt. For fixing I use high tensile m12 bolts with spreader plates 👍🏻

Being a windscreen tech for 20yrs these videos kill me .When you are setting out the primer don't follow the hole you've cut out the bond needs to be around the edge of the glass. 8 to 10 mm in from the edge by bonding just around the hole you leave to much unsupported glass which and lead to it vibrating against the body and fatiguing the glass .also you need to fit rubber hight blocks so the glass is the right decking hight to allow enough moment in the bond the amount of these self fit windows I've had to remove and refit properly thanks to people being shown wrong from KZfaq
