Tip for marking holes through the material. Use a soldering iron. That'll also clear any material around the hole to stop the fixing from snagging. Informative videos by the way 🤙

Ahh mate, great job. Just subscribed as it's great to see a plumbers mind at work. It was a past vocation for me and that practical mindset never leaves you. That said, I need all the inspiration I can get to self build our imminent Crafter once the T6 has sold. Look forward to watching your vlogs and hopefully give you a shout if I see you about. Take it easy! Mal, Ruth (and Raffy)

yep, I concur, it looks pretty pucker mate. You have an eye for detail that is rare in the diy van conversion world. I've seen some hash jobs. Yours is very professional Aidan. I opted to sleep the other way and have the end of the bed telescopic, so retracting about 8 inches during the day and the kitchen worktop running partly under the bed. It saves a lot on Flarespace work and money. Would be interested in what kit you have in mind for the rest of the project.

That is a good idea. I wanted least moving parts as possible on this one. So many amazing variations possible. It’s choosing the best for YOU 👍🏻

Looks really nice , I like the Velcro idea , I am at a similar stage but few weeks behind you so great to watch . Can I ask what main wall panel cladding material you used is ? looks nice and light , thinking I might ditch my 9mm marine ply plan . I am thinking you must secure overhead lockers to the van with rivnuts and not rely on the cladding to fix to. Keep up the good work 👍

Hi. Yes exact that. I use thin hardboard. It has no structural element. By the time I foam and fabric it you could never hurt it. But like you said. Find support in the van it self. I went crazy with ply on my other van and it ended up being so overweight.

Recently came across your videos. Very informative and inspirational. I've recently purchased a new shape crafter to convert and am looking at starting off with the evo side pods. Do you think the flarespace trims would fit a crafter? If so how did you import them in? Many thanks

@urbanarkoverland 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t imagine they fit crafter as they are so precise. Not in fit. But in size. By the time I put tweed around the edge it was tight 👍🏻

What adhesive did you use? I used 3m hi-strength 90 spray adhesive to flip the sides of the foam over the ring and it’s been pretty painful.. keep flopping back.

@urbanarkoverland 2 жыл бұрын

Any spray adhesive. They are all pretty good. You spray both surfaces. Wait. And then press yeah?

I didn’t. Thanks fixed the ring the routed it. Don’t need to mark it 👍🏻

@urbanarkoverland 2 жыл бұрын

You could in fact fix the wall panel to the ring. Lift it out. And then run a pencil around the inside. I like to use a router. Better than a jigsaw 👍🏻

@jonathanchireix6696 2 жыл бұрын

I meant before you routed. When you put the trim ring up to the flare and used a pencil to mark where the trim ring over hung and jigsawed where you were going to cut the excess.. wondering how you traced which parts to cut

@@jonathanchireix6696 place a pencil on the flare. And run it along the trim ring. Where marks usually means ut needs to come off
