Can anyone help me - I have just bought a 1998 fiat ducato, it was an old ambulance, with a view to transform it to something I can stay in as well as using it at community events as storage for and distribution of craft type workshops - not much to ask ehh? And to top that it's only got a drivers seat. Does have Tax and MOT though.
Can anybody help me in where/how do I start!
I would like to raise the roof so that I can stand. I would like to raise it approx. a foot and a half, keeping the sky light. What is the cheapest and safest idea?
The best way is to buy a fiberglass roof for your van. You don't say what type of van you have.
Fitting the fiberglass roof generally means cutting the top of the metal roof off, and then glueing the fiberglass part on.
It's not a straightforward job.
As far as I know no panel van currently has a pull down bed over the front seats, however I feel sure with a little thought it can be done....so if I can find a manufacturer of the current beds so I can get an idea of how they work, gona give it a go....
Do you know any panel van that does have a pull down bed? or a manufacturer of the beds?
Thanks
I want to do a home build on a large merc vario and have seen fully completed, very professional examples for sale (££pricey££). They utilise the same box on the back, I believe its made in France but I have been unable to find a manufacturer. Its the one significant lump I'd like to buy in complete.
Firstly what is the terminology for the living area so I can search for it and secondly any manufacturers who sell the box. I want an over the cab sleeper type layout, if this helps!!! any advice much appreciated. Martin
Hi Martin
Can you post a link to a picture of a van with the box?

Hi, I am looking at turning my ldv lwb high roof into a camper. I have an old caravan and am planning on just taking everything out of it and putting it all in the van. Would this work? Any help would help. Thanks
Hi we are in the process of buying the above veicle,with the idea of partial convertion ,i would be interested in any ideas you may have.One worry i cant stop thinking about some camp sites only seem to like manufactures conversions on there premises,also i worry about the size of the veicle and any hight restrictions.How easy is it to find parking when on holiday in a large veicle
I've got a Mercedes Sprinter of a very similar size and rarely have any problems parking it.
In a typical car park you can park in a standard space. I tend to park on the edge of the car park when it's less busy, and always aim for a space that has a overhang at the rear. The reverse into the space so the back of the van overhangs the parking space. The van fits neatly into the space then.
Street parking can be more difficult as the spaces are often car sized.
As long as your conversion has some side windows and is neat and tidy you won't have any problems getting onto campsites.
Some campsites don't let commercial looking vehicles on. But with windows yours will look like a camper.
Hi. THis will work . A lot of people do this. However, you should concentrate on keeping the components such as the water heater, battery, battery charger, taps, pipes, water tanks, etc. The furniture is likely to be glued into the caravan, and very difficult to get out and re-attach to the van.
You should think about making new furniture in the van, and installing all of the caravan parts.
Good luck
We want to convert a van for a tour but be able to sell goods out of the back, so a 1/4 of the van would be a store, this is also where meet and greet and merch will be too, cuz yea we sell clothes but we're musicians too....why not?, hit us up if you ever heard of anything like that!
i want to put a plywood interior in my vw t4 where can i get template of interior from. cheers
Hi Steve
I don't know of anyone who sells templates, only plywood kits, like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-T4-Transporter-Camper-Van-Interior-Panels-Full-...
Obviously these guys make their money selling plywood kits, but they may sell you a paper version of the templates for less. WOrth a go. Otherwise you could just measure the interior to make your own panels. It's not the hardest job.
i know my dad got templates for a vw in geremany but this was late 70s
I have a ford transit 190 Long wheel base (LWB) Hi-cube, its very long and high and runs very very well (cd player, immobiliser, mul-t-lock,air con,twin wheel with a 2.5 lit diesel and it is an MK5 2000 smiley.
I was thinking of converting it into a campavan and because it has a high top, putting a double bed up there (you could fold it up at day so you can stand and some ladders leading up to it (maybe even a pop top on a high cube roof! downstairs it should have a kitchen, a shower and toilet, and sofa (but must convert into a bed though), windows, a 32'' telly)
would this work? as it is a very big van and has that extra panel in the middle. And the idea of a pop top on the hi cube roof so you can push the double bed higer and out of the hi cube roof and into the pop top in camping holidays?
So far i can stand up in it and i am 5 foot 7 but the things im worring about are that it might slow down as at the mo its top speed on a flat empty is 85, on a slight uphill 80 and very high hill (like the m62 sometimes) 75-70 on an empty load, on a very heavy load it does 60mph on a uphill, 75 on a flat and 80 on a downhill, i am also thinking of putting twin rear wheels, will this make it able to withstand the load (i am worrying that it may take too much space)
Is this a good idea?
Can i build it on my own?
Or do i have to give it to a company to build it and how much would it cost?
Thank you!
Hi Jay
You can do all of the things you say. The only limits are our skills, time and money.
You can put a suspended bed in a high-top, but this really works best in a extra-high-top, as there isn't much room once the bed in fitted for standing underneath.
a 32" telly weighs a lot and will certainly slow your vehicle down. They also use a lot of power and you'll most likely want a 240v mains hookup to use it. Or a massive leisure battery bank.
If you keep everything lightweight you won't need to change the wheels or loose much speed. To keep the weight down ensure you use light woods (6mm plywood instead of 9 or 12mm MDF for example).
There is no reason you can't do this conversion on your own. Do you have some DIY experience?
A conversion company would charge thousands to this sort of conversion, but their standards are very high.
i have a hi cube on a ford transit which is pretty high, i can stand in it with plenty of soace (30-60 cm)left, what i was thinking of is having a woodboard attached to the roof with some hydraulic suspenders so you can pull it down for bed time, and sticking an inflatble airbed to it so it would lay flat on the roof until i press inflate, would this work, and if id installed a pop top and push it up then push the woodboard up further so i could stand in camping holidays.
my van is very high, i dont think you can get any panel vans higher than this as it is a Hi-cube
check 4 urself, W362 DHF
Thanks :)
You could make this work Jay. Almost anything is possible. With 60cms of headroom I think you could make it so that you wouldn't have to inflate it each time, just leave it inflated.
Hi,
i want to buy a swb T5 with a/c, 6 speed manual. with a 2.5 tdi. tailgate, windows.
engine with fsh, and below 100k miles.
will i be better off 1.buying a second hand camper conversion.
which seem to be very pricey.
or
2.buying the van and giving it to a company to fit it out with all equipment??cooker, hobs, bed, captain swivel chairs, etc..
i also want a pop top roof fitted with double bed..
or
3. a diy bodge? which will always be unfinished,
so i dont really want to opt for 3.
thanks dave
Hi Dave
It depends on how much time and money you want to spend.
Option 1 is the quickest but most expensive way to get a campervan.
Option 2 gives you more control over how the finished van will be. But do all the sums first, as it could cost you more than option 1.
Option 3 will take a lot longer, but will save you a lot of money. If you are handy at DIY you could compromise. Have someone fit the pop-top roof for you, then slowly do the conversion yourself. There's no reason a DIY conversion should be bad. You can buy complete DIY kits already made, then just fit it yourself.
Hi
I want to make my own vinyl covered door cards. Any idea where I might find some info. I can source vinyl and it will be cheaper than getting them done myself
Do you mean front cab doors or rear van doors?
The rear doors are easy to do, as they are flat. Simply measure the car area. Cut a piece of plywood to the right size. I used 6mm plywood.
Round the corners if necessary. Glue the vinyl to the plywood. Once dry carefully cut the excess of the plywood.
Screw the plywood to the door.
You can see the rear door card i made here

Hi
All 9 panels for a T2 in two colour vinyl. I wanted to know
How they got the lines in the vinyl.(Poss heat pressed?) I've seen a few companies at the VW shows
And they are quite expensive.
Am currently looking for a bay window vw pre tax that would seat two adults and four children would need full size rock and roll bed and pop top not sure what the seat belt situation would be or even if this set up exists does anybody know?
youll struggle to get one with full size rock and roll bed.
some danburys have cooker unit just in side side loading door.
buddy seat behind drivers seat.
you could take out rear cupboard to widen bed.
pop top two roll out hamock style bunks.
not cheap.6k plus for good one
Hi, can anyone please help me. My mum has a 20 year old Mitsubishi van given to her, she has put a bed in it and she wants me (her daughter) to lining the inside of it for her so she can travel australia. It was a work/tool van and has lots of small holes and scratches. It has windows either side with 2 sliding doors. I don't have much money and don't know how to help her. I considered covering it with contact, putty and thick paint, lino or carpet. I have no idea how to do it or what to do, can anyone help!!! I am desperate.
Hi. Are you asking what is the best way to line the inside?
If so plywood is generally the best idea. Using thin plywood, maybe 6mm or 5mm you can bend it gently to match the curves of the van.
You can see plywood being fitted to vans in these pictures:
http://www.campervanlife.com/galleries/1/3156/3191
Once the walls are lined you can add carpet, paint, etc.
Hi, thank you so much for your help. My mum has 2 windows in the van that open with security screens, would you have any ideas how could I do the plywood finish around them? Also around the doors? Thank you

At present my VW van is lined but no insulation.Im going to strip it all out and renew the lining. Would polystyrene be a good insulation to use as im on a budget.
A great product used in house building is Thinsulex - this is a multi layered foil insulation with very good thermal properties for a relativley small thickness. Can get it in rolls from any good builders merchant.
Polystyrene, great insulator but it squeeks like mad, i tried it and had to take it out again.
i found thinsulate easy to get hold of, i bought it from a canal boat supplier,whatever you use check it out for its ability to "not burn"
On an earlier van when I was broke I used "space blanket" loft insulation cut to size and resealed it with gaffer tape.
Merry Xmas to all Camper Van people....
I've never used polystyrene myself so can't give personal experience. I know many peope have used it, and found traces of it when I converted my Sprinter.
Polystyrene will provide some kind of insulation, and is cheap and easy to fit. I think you can find better materials, but it should work fine.
Several people have recommended Thinsulate for my van, as it's very effective for its thickness, and also acts as sound damping. Only problem is, I can't find anywhere that sells it! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adam
There is a Product called 'Airtec' sold by Screwfix that is supposed to be the equivalent of 55mm of polystyrene;
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/50913/Building/Roofing-Insulation/Airtec-D...
Hope this helps.
Wow, it's very difficult to find to buy.
Thinsulate is a brand sold by 3M. Therefore it's a brand name, rather than a product. I suspect there are cheaper and more available versions of the same product. But what are they called.
I noticed thinsulate is used by boat builders. Maybe call some boat builders or parts suppliers and see what they say. There may be cheaper products they can recommend.
Use thermafleece not thinsulate.

Hi,All
Iv'e just baught a 1997 VW T4 Transporter which is going to be used for fishing trips.there is no windows on the side panels or back doors, so would this be classed as a camper van, holding two carp beds and a cooker.
Thanks,
Hi
Good news on your purchase.
For the vehicle to be classified as a campervan the DVLA have guidelines, which include windows, bed and cooking facilities.

Got a LWB Transit T350 for conversion but because rear wheel drive roof is actually lower than a SWB semi high.
No problem I thought just buy a glass fibre roof. Only problem is I cant find anyone who makes them. Any ideas or do i have to buy standard SWB stuff and fabricate?
Help
They are difficult to come buy, and expensive!

How would a fridge or the gas stove work?
Would the gass bottle be safe if left in the van. how would we get the fridge to work constantly?
excuse the cluelessness but i am really keen to convert a van to a camper this summer I just dont know how
Gas bottles are fine left in the van. They need to be stored upright, and securely.
The gas bottle has a regulator on the top, which has a tap, to cut-off the gas supply.
The stove or fridge can be attached to the regulator. You can attached both at the same time with a splitter.
A typical camper/caravan fridge has 3 power sources.
1. 240 v - when attached to the mains at a campsite
2. Gas - for when camping remotely (free camping)
3. 12 v - when driving. This uses the vehicles 12 v power supply. The gas must be turned off when travelling.
Best wishes to all that have or are planning van conversions.I have a SWB Transit with Windows/Gas heating/12VDC etc etc.My wife and I love touring the Western Islands.Just recently we were turned away from the OBAN campsite as my beloved Transit was considered "by them" to be a commercial vehicle.They didnt have a problem at the preceding Easter.There were no issues elsewhere.I now phone and ask at those "crucial" campsites.

Stuart Parker
Hi mate, i hope you dont mind me asking but who did your conversion for you and how much was it. I have recently bought a transit van LX 57lpate and am looking for ideas to do it up.
Thanks

Hello
Did most of my conversion myself,used thinsulate for insulation cos its fire resistant,installed a 110 amp/hour leisure battery,windows from a company in Castleford.Used marine ply for bedding / furniture and am now trying to organise a swivel for a single passenger seat(seems hard to organise)Van conversion is like painting the Sydney harbour bridge,there is no end ,you just keep doing it,Best wishes.
Stuart
hi there.
just noticed you used a swb tranny.
im doing the same.mine is swb semi hi top.
im looking for ideas as to the layout.
double bed.worktops.etc
any help would be great.
thanks..
hi all can anyone tell me what an enginers report is all about ,any help please
thanks very mutch
hi, ive converted a citroen relay van myself and was also puzzled by the whole engineers report thing. i did some googleing and found that to change your van from a panelvan to a motor caravan(dvla terminology) you must have the following fitted permanently in your van:seats and table,
sleeping accommodation which may be converted from the seats,
cooking facilities, and
storage facilities.
once you have these you can take pictures and send them to the dvla along with your log book(you must list the changes on the log book) and then the dvla will change it over for you. they say they may need to send an inspector out to check the van but apparently they never do! now for insureance, when you come to insureing your self converted campervan your likely to need an engineers report(also there are not many companies who will insure self converted vans). one insurance company i came across have an engineers report form that you can download from their website. this is just a form that has the same list of requirements as the dvla on. you take this to any m.o.t station with your van of course, and they then check that your van has a bed, storage, cooking facilities etc and tick them off and sign the form and stamp it and then hit you with a bill for 50 quid. then you ave to send this form to the insurance company before they will insure you. hope this helps. ive posted a couple of helpfull links below.

When converting a van to a camper van what is the best type of insulation to use
Most people like to use rock wool. It's the sort of stuff we put in out lofts to insulate the house.
It's cheap, easy to get at DIY stores, and easy to shape into the walls.
Be sure to attach it to the van walls, as it will slip down otherwise.
Ive just got my hands on a ldv400 high top walkthrough for pennies. Its been previously converted as a sort of motorbike carrying camper. Its been split into a living area and a workshop. Ive purchased it to go racing in next year with my bikes, abroad and in the uk. Im going to strip all the existing interior out and start fresh as the wood used in the conversion is far too heavy. Theres even some 3" x 3" in there!!!!
The workshop/garage is presently big enough to drive a smart car into the back of! so is being reduced by half so i can still carry 2 enduro bikes and a load of tools/spares etc. A double bed will then be installed, a fold down bed at the front, full kitchen, shower etc.
Ive got a bet on with some mates, if i can finish it before next march they will pay for all the fuel and ferries etc for the 4 of us to go to the french alps snowboarding. And we are going to live in the camper for a week. Cheap snowboarding holiday!!! I think id best make sure it has the best insulation and a decent heater!
A veg oil conversion will help bring down the fuel costs. I need to carefully lay out the interior. Im going to model it in 3d at work before commencing any works as i dont want to have to rip out something i have already done to fit more wiring etc. Ive become a bit anal about things as ive gotten a little older (26! lol) and no longer accept any bodging. Everything has to be done perfectly. So the interiors going get the best i can get :)
Best thing about the van - the electric opening side door. Press a button and SWWOOSSSHHH it opens via an electric motor.
Ill hopefully be keeping a blog. I purchased the van from a local trail riders club and they are all keen to see my new project take shape. :)
Paul
Good stuff Paul.
Please keep us up to date.
If you sign up as a member on his website you can keep a blog, and I am just adding a photo gallery for members also.

Shouldnt take you more than 6 weeks. But your van sounds very cool! Would love to see some pics when you get to it.
Goodluck!
I am having a problem with overhead storage units. My storage cabinets on one side of my class b rv van fell down. I am trying to determine how exactly to put it back up. The bottom is still hanging it is everything else that fell. If it was a house I would have a better idea of what to do. I am not clueless of what to do I am just not sure. Any ideas?
Hi Lisa,
Sorry for the late reply. I actually just ripped out the hardboard ceiling that was in the van. Then saw where all the steel trusses are. Took 9mm interior ply and screwed the sucker on to that. I now have a very strong platform to work from. I havnt actually started putting the overhead units in, but the beds and bottom units are almost complete.
Working on it full time has become a problem as we are entering high season on construction front here. I will try and post some pics today.
Cheers
So the bottom of the cupboard is still fixed to the wall, but the sides and front have fallen away?
How is every held together? Screws or glue?
Hi Louis, Lisa here. I myself am having a problem with overhead storage units. My storage cabinets on one side of my class b rv van fell down and almost hit me in head. I am trying to determine how exactly to put it back up. The bottom is still hanging it is everything else that fell. If it was a house I would have a better idea of what to do. I am not clueless of what to do I am just not sure. The answers you seem to have gotten seem to be hitting on the right direction. Have you progressed with your cabinet situation.... Note also I have seen a few conversions online that showed what they did to prepare the walls to hang cabinets. I am going to review my emails to see if I can find the info.
Hi all,
I am about to convert a Nissan interstar into a campervan.
There will be no panelling work done, as the vehicle already has stock panelling. Can i fix the overhead storage units into the stock paneling or do i have to fit new paneling for more strength? The rest of the shopfitting is a breeze, i am just concerned about the durability of the fixings into all the existing panels.
Regards
louis from South Africa
Hi Louis
It depends on how strong your panelling is, how it is attached to the van, and how much weight you intend to hang off it.
My van had 9mm ply lining the van. This was screwed directly to the metal struts of the van frame. This made is very strong.
From this 9mm ply wood I could hang heavy cupboards.
9mm is heavy though, and next time I might use 6mm ply, to save weight. With 6mm ply I would hang less weight from it, but you can still hang a fairly heavy cupboard from it.
You need to use your judgement to determine what is too-much weight.
Thanks Darren,
I will probably have to replace the existing panelling then as it is only 3 mm hardboard with carpet cladding.
Maybe you can help me with the name of the basin/burner unit i am lloking for. Its the one with both in the same unit. Basin & Burner together. It is quite a mission to get all the correct fittings sitting on this side of the world.
My e-mail address is to follow.
fswoodworks@vodamail.co.za
I thank you once again for all your help and will send you some pics once the conversion starts.
Regards
Louis
If you can find the metal struts underneath the existing hardwood, you can screw the cupboards directly into the metal, using self tapping screws. This will prevent you having to remove the existing wood.
Sorry, I'm not sure about the basin/burner unit you are after.

hi all,
i plan to convert a sprinter 3/10 extralong i believe its 4.1 meter long in the loading area,1.75 wide and 1.80 meter high, here comes the thing i would like to take the camper on a 6 month + trip around europe ,so there be a few things i would like to add to it rather then the standard and like to build the inside more like house .
i would like to make the bed accross rather then long with about 1,5 meter i know i am tall but i can cope with 1.75 in lenth on the bed ,so i would like a shower 500x500 a tall cabinet a kitchen of about 1 meter and a corner seating behind the driver if possible so i can make a spare bed for others to sleep.space for a surfboard would be great .if we could fit a frezzer 450x600 deep somewhere would be great,a lot ask for i know buti want to build it myself,i say i would be medium level in DIY .
i will do the covertion myself with the help of friends of cause.
so any layout plans simple to follow would be great,it only needs to be a scatch as i prob would need to re arrange to suit me,i have a scatch on paper but not sure how it would look in the flesh so to speak.
i will document all my work and try to do a blog for free to all to watch me make misstakes,if there is a good fanbase i will continue bloging when i am on my trip.
so thanks to all in advance.......
