Great videos and van conversion👌👍. We’re at the very start of the journey with exactly same Ford Transit van / model / size from ‘22 make purchased last week. We’ll certainly be in touch and following you. Very clear videos and has given us great inspiration though we’re no mechanical engineers but biomechanical engineers (physios) but always up for a challenge … lots to learn. 🚐🔧⛏️🪜🪛🤔🙄🙏👍

Amazing build guys! So many neat features. Just wondering, do you happen to have a link for the roof-vent? We live in the UK so extreme heat isn’t an issue, but to be able to exhaust and intake, on a budget, would be perfect. Thank you!

I have just a simple question... How the pump starts working when we open taps ... And stops working when we close taps
@SALTYVANVENTURES 20 күн бұрын
There is a pressure switch in the pump itself which turn off the pump when the pump builds pressure in the line i.e when you close the tap. Then when the tap is open, pressure drops in the line and the pump turns on

Having done this myself: 1. Keep things SUPER LIGHT! No solid wood. No 2x1's. All frameless or thing frames epoxy glued together with a 'Coreflute' plastic insert (Bamboo for the Greenies). 2. Definitely align your work surfaces with your power needs. Use 12V to 19VDC(any laptop voltage selectable) adapters/chargers. 3. NO bright lights anywhere. Dimmable, everywhere. 4. Only have removable storage for the back slide outs. 5. Don't tamper with anything that might stop you from getting your Blue Slip (Road Worthy Certificate)[MOT]. Do all that afterwards. Make the car as stock as possible (engineering wise) 'just in case' so you are sure you will get it passed. (Only necessary if your van is not registered already or you need to get it reclassified. 6. Be VERY careful about the number and type of 'holes' you make in the side of the van. ie. Utility, LPG, H2O, Shore Power etc. Make sure these comply with the local Standards. 7. Don't over spec your 12VDC wiring unnecessarily. Understand which gauge can carry what current. 8. Use either wood glue or Locktite on every nut and bolt for rougher roads, including dirt. Avoid self-tapers like you avoid your mother-in-law. 9. RUST PROOF RUST PROOF RUST PROOF RUST PROOF 10. Take this guys advice about 'washing lines' and everything else he mentions, as it is spot on advice.

Have you ever known anyone to put a roaring Meg wood fire in their camper in Australia? I have one and really really want to install it in my van
@SALTYVANVENTURES Ай бұрын
I haven’t no, but I did see this in a few bus conversions in New Zealand. If you plan it out, I don’t see why you couldn’t. I guess it’s just not as common in Australia as our winters are pretty short and the stove takes up quite a bit of space. Where as a diesel heater for instance is pretty small and discrete but also doesn’t get a whole lot of usage either

Hey mate, thoughts on using strips of 1" plywood cut to 2" widths rather than your 1"x2" pine? Not sure if it'd be cheaper or stronger or worse on both fronts? Great video, nice to have someone working in mm (despite my comments measurements 😅)
@SALTYVANVENTURES Ай бұрын
I suppose it is possible although I have 2 concerns. Firstly 1 inch thick plywood is so heavy and would be hard to manage, especially if stripping down by yourself on a table saw. is hard enough with 15mm which is half that of what you're suggesting. Secondly, I think this wouldn't end up being cheaper, nor worth the effort than just being dressed 2x1's. I like your out of the box thinking though!

Great job building up your van and getting it certified as a campervan! I know you have re-registered due to insurance but would there be any issues on modifying a van and not re-registering as a camper? I’m a bit unsure how I should go because of the electrical work(solar panels running only off grid)? Cheers
@SALTYVANVENTURES Ай бұрын
My understanding is that the insurance companies that insure campers are requiring the certificate to insure your van for the agreed value. This being the van itself as well as the fit out inside. You could call the insurance companies to ask to clarify.

how do you actually fix the racks to the roof? I have a new 23 model but cant find racks
@SALTYVANVENTURES Ай бұрын
There are threaded inserts built into the roof under the plastic covers that you need to remove to see. there should be 4 on each side. Then you can bolt your roof rack into them. From memory they are m8 threads

@@SALTYVANVENTURES Thanks so much love your work ! The foam board is so easy to work with Thanks for the idea However, but you need to use spacers on roof instead of spray adhesive to get the best insulation (told by foam board) This creates a 10mm space of air from outside skin which is super important Maybe you did it with no space to get more height but you did have a space between roof lining and board which doesnt work as well they say There is foil both sides by the way too The green side is for where you have no lining and weant less glare xx

What about adding a sway bar... Hellwig makes some and Ford has OEMs...
@SALTYVANVENTURES Ай бұрын
Interesting. I haven't looked into that option, although I suppose this would only solve the issue of the van swaying around corners more due to the weight of the conversion. This might be an option for some people if they are experiencing that, but with this Supersprings and Sumosprings system, it gave us back the ride height that we lost, a smoother more comfortable ride, as well as solving the sway which seemed like the best solution for us.
