Campervan Conversion

[Paul ™]

I still think you should have kept one of the seats as a feature, but its looking/sounding good. I'm very jealous.

No room for it really, but will be keeping the yellow pole that is at the side of the sliding door

Anyway did a bit flooring today... blog updated

Looking good. Like the tidy work on the flooring.

If only..

Couple more bits done, really now need to get on with the woodwork.. getting a couple of joiners in to have a look and get a quote for building the shower/toilet enclosure as am not very confident of doing that bit myself.

Though I might just probe them enough to get some good tips and attempt it with a mate...

Ordered the shower tray and hob/sink today though

Few more updates on the blog, joiner coming on Saturday to build my wetroom frame.

Will be doing the electrics in the next couple weeks, did you decide if you wanted to offload that stuff Neil?

[eFestivals]

I've not had time to think about it with other stuff I've got going on.

But on the basis that I've acquired or bought the bits with the intention of using them, I guess I'll stick with that in the hope I'll get around to using it somewhen soonish.

Soz if I got your hopes up with it.

[Paul ™]

No that's fine Neil no worries.

Just read the blog in it's entirety. Have you done woodwork / designing stuff before, as you appear to know exactly what you are doing? It's a great read by the way.

Its looking great so far, very impressive. Good work on the blog too

Not one bit mate, just 'winging' it so far... haha

Thank you

That said, I am getting a joiner in this weekend to build the frame for the wetroom, as am not 100% confident on that.

But I will be watching/learning on how he fixes it to the floor/wall/roof so I can then use those methods for the kitchen unit and bed (and perhaps wardrobe) myself.

[atomised]

Quite understandable. Always good to learn from experts and the wetroom frame is going to be a crucial part.

It got started today.. plus other stuff going on

Thanks for the update Paul. I must say, you don't piss about do you. I'd still be staring inanely at a moss covered van wondering what the fuck to do with it. Really enjoying the blog.

[atomised]

I'm the same as you in that respect yoghurt. Would spend a long time pondering and trying to decide if I could manage the project

Bought myself a little 2 berth caravan for festivals and holidays. It's no where near as sexy as a motorhome but it's warmer and more comfortable than a tent.

Wow impressive, its actually starting to look like a campervan!

[atomised]

Some great pics there. Looking good so far. Hope the weather doesn't hold you back too much

[Paul ™]

Cheers guys, got a fair bit of real work to do this month so will be slowing down a bit, ordering parts I need etc and planning the next stages.

Happy with it so far though

[Paul ™]

Managed a couple bits over the last week.

Just back from a 16 day holiday in Spain, so have had a bit of catching up to do on this project. It's really impressive to see the camper van taking shape. It's a delight to see the skill and foresight involved in each stage, followed by the successful execution of the job in hand.

[Paul ™]

Wow thanks Yog, I'll be honest and am surprised at myself too..

I was initially going to be getting help from a mate of my partners who is very handy with wood and is a keen caravaner so knows all about electrics etc, but he's not been able to get involved at all.

So I've plodded on myself, doing plenty research, asking on forums etc and seems to be coming together.

I reckon am about 50% of the way now, so all going well it will be done for February as I planned... however it is going over budget but not too fussed on that as am doing it how I want it done, and have splashed out of a few things extra

Started the electrics now, getting my head round it though.

[atomised]

It'll be way more satisfying as an end product if it's exactly how you.want it and if you're likely to use it a lot then the extra cost will be worth every penny

Hello Paul

I wish I had some knowledge of the electrics in a camper van. I've only ever got the electrics to work once while not hooked up to the mains. I think there must be a fault somewhere but as I haven't got a clue in this area we've limped along at festivals with candles during the night. I've now got the number of an auto electrician, so will be contacting him soon to give it the once over. Just paid the road tax on it today for another year. We are going to take it away to the place we are staying at at Christmas, and my son in law is going to sleep in it when he comes to visit us for a couple of days.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
