FABULOUS!!!!!!!
Great build. Only thing id do a bit different i think is an air tight gas locker with drop vent for safety. I like the bed style. Clever...
Thanks for the great guidance. I was dreading this job but it turned out to be easier than I expected thanks to the video. The screw on a 987.2 is a Torx 15. I only went so far as to adjust the length of the existing elastic by putting the screw through a different slot in the elastic. I removed the screw to do this, but in hindsight I probably only had to loosen it to change the slot that was used. My elastic was still somewhat stretchy. I can always do the elastic replacement if needed in the future.
It’s a pity the chainsaw fairy could not pay that tree a visit one night! Great project, you know the Ecoflow Powerstream is a great grid tied inverter.
super, dziękuję za podpowiedź
Well done!
to bad the front's fulling off
New sounds are never good
Fantastic job mate would you mind helping me out and tell me what seat base you used and which swivel base cheers
I used a drivers sprinter seat base and a swivel made for a sprinter to fit the base
Nice job I painted my F-150 the same way it came out great.
My laptop specs are 19.5v - 2.31A around 45W can this adapter wor on multiple types of laptops like 20 volts 18 volts like this?
yes they can do variable voltage
This was so easy to follow and answered a lot of questions. Also highlighted some things I had not even thought about. I have to incorporate 2 dog crates into my build for their safety. However, looking at the amount of storage you created in this build it now looks more obvious.
Hello hopefully someone will answer do you think this will melt with an unleaded gasoline?
it is a DIESEL heater, not gasoline
There is a reason why these arw not sold anyomore...the were called " hot boxes" as they got very hot. They will also drain your battery
Propex still makes these heaters (newer models obviously) to this day
Super nice transformation. How much it cost you just for the whole conversion, excluding the car cost??
Would you take up a project in future, to transform a vehicle in a similar way. How much would be the service charge we could offer, if you would take up such a challenge?
I don't take on conversions for other people
Zajebista konversja, abym tylko sam mogl takie cacko wystrogac. Great job mate.
Fair play that looks rough
What screws did you use to fix it ?
spray glue to the ply panels, then short screws through the ply panels into the internal frame, nothing special or specific, just short screws so not to puncture the exterior panels
Hi, loving the channel.I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I've been toying with buying a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1 210 CDi but it is wheelchair adapted, I want to convert it into a campervan, but after looking at your videos, it looks like a big and costly job, I'm not mechanically minded, is it expensive, difficult and even worth considering. Cheers
that something only you can decide, they make great campers and the wheelchair stuff can be removed easily enough, its just time consuming, costs can be as little or as much as you want to spend depending on what you want inside
@@TheCampervanBuilder thanks much appreciated, useful to know. Good luck with the channel.
Very good ideas. I love the shower
Excelent job,may i ask what parts u used and how much do they cost,for electricity autonomy ?
solar panel £100, solar controller £100, battery £100
Hi there. Please can you tell me where you bought your small sink from ? I’ve been searching for one for months and I’m finding it hard to get. Many thanks
EBay
Thank you. If possible please can you send me a link? Or dimensions? I tried to find the link on your channel but couldn’t find it. Great job on your van. Looks great
@@davidmcdonald3812 Just search small sink on ebay and it'll show a variety of them
Where do i find the switched relay wiring video for the 12v?
Well done, practical build. Layout works well. Can I ask how much did the install cost (materials and component) ?
the 2.7 is not immune from IMS issues, not until the Gen2 987 were the engines replaced. those are reliable. anyway great car it's still beautiful.
My 1997 986 does not have the elastic held with a torx. It only has one Velcro loop. I'm assuming it was an early production model. And yes, it does have this issue but only on the US passenger side where the cover has pulled away from where it gets fastened to the end of the steel wire. Needs to be sewn back in place, not easy to do in such a tight space.
These scams are really getting me down, I've been searching for a camper van for a while now, I'm giving up hope.
Nicely done!! Are the Rx8 seats lower?
Yes
Hi. Love your conversion. Is this a long wheelbase as I have the short wheelbase as I’m not sure all that would fit in mine.
This is swb
Total cost for this? How much you spent in your conversion?
THANK YOU FOR GOD SAKE WE JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND THIS HAPPENED THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi, what type and size water pump do you have on your install?
thanks for the video my brain don't hurt no more
Hi what type of carpet are you using.
4 way stretch carpet, there are carpeting videos with links to it on my channel videos
Great video, a few question's, is the seat the same hight as the original t4 seats and did you have to change the seatbelt clips or did the mazda ones fit the t4 seatbelts ,thanks.
The mazda ones fit fine, slight height difference but not much, they fit and look nice
Any links or measurements available to lend 🤣 just bought the sake van and wanting to convert it and this looks absolutely perfect
I have full more detailed build videos for all my vans on my channel, but no measurements as such to share as I build everything to the space available
I seen yeah they are brilliant think I will do the same but will make the kitchen unit removable
Love the build mate, well done.
thanks
One of my faves 😊
How is it holding up 1 year down the road
I've used a few of these and they all seem good, but I don't have the van anymore so can't confirm its still good on this instance
Absolute brilliant job. Well done.
thanks
How thick is the kingspan mate?
generally a mix of 25 & 50mm, as think as can be squeezed in
Good day does your meter making noise
no it didn't, but I don't have it anymore so can't say if it does now
Hi mate, Thanks for nice and informative video. Would you be able to advise me on following. I’m going to install carpet lining in my 2016 renault trafic van. The problem I have is a interior lighting. I want to replace original lights with led ones. Original ones have a 3 wire connection but new led lights only has 2 wires which is positive and negative. Do you know how to connect 2 wire lights to 3 wire light system ? Many thanks
Hi , Nice and very informative video! Would you mind to give me a little advice? I’m going to install 3 lights in my renault trafic van. Question is. The old lights has a 3 core cable and most of led lights has only red and black wire. How can I install 2 wire led into 3 wire circuit? Many thanks
3 core cable is for household 240v, 12v dc should only have 2 core cable so sounds like it has the wrong cable used
@@TheCampervanBuilder Absolutely not
Where was the fridge? Nice
very nice , where is your toilet
pull out portable toilet that stored under the bed
Loved rewatching this think this is one of my favourites. AMAZING as always. @campervanbuilder 😊
Looks good
ciao, tu pensa che io lo sto facendo adesso, e ogni volta che penso a cosa devo fare mi viene proposto un video .... ho preso un vecchio porter del 1995 .. :) tu hai fatto un bel lavoro minimalista e questo fa del tuo van un bel mezzo. complimenti.
What did you clean down the roof with after wet sanding to add next coat?
just a wash down
