    Didn’t mention to check that when you open the passenger door the top of the door doesn’t scrape on the awning roof bar. It is very close and if you tip the awning to give rain drainage loader the rear leg - the front one WILL scrape otherwise.

    Hi, just found you guys as me and my wife feel our lifestyles would really suit a campervan and 4 year old son. We have seen the Vivaro LWB makes for a good less expensive option to say a Transporter for a campervan conversion. Have you guys worked on a Vivaro LWB? How does it work with do you source the van and then do the conversation? Or would we need to buy a van to drive it down to you? Also how good would a campervan be on my own Channel 😊

Does your course give a full explanation about how to actually fit furniture? Not the wiring etc but actually how to secure furniture to the van? It's the one bit I can't find any videos or tutorials on - not even forum chat! I thought I'd have to use timber battens but it looks like you don't do that in your vids. Thank you!

    Looks stunning ! Some food for thought, most that have the finances to buy one of these are more mature couples, (like me) most not been VW fanatics (not like me 😂) we all want ease of use, this van looks well specced but some are using base vans 🤦‍♂️ no no no, we have well specced cars and want our vans to have gadgets ! Next it must have a sliding bed, I don’t want day trips with guests sat 10ft away unable to engage in conversations ! Also slide it forward and stash camping gear safely behind the seat without lashings of bungee cord! (I won’t buy a van without this it’s so important) next why do all builders fit massive sinks and double hob combos 🤷‍♂️ one ring and a small sink is plenty for us, we can cook on one ring, eat out and get meal deals, I am on holiday I am not slaving over a stove, then having loads of washing up to do! I want work top space for my gadgets, water bottle, watch, wallet, etc while I am in bed at night. Then there’s the lack of doors around wheels arches, how long do you think our arms are ! Give us more doors ! Every van should have solar power most will use electric hook up so why not a low wattage electric hob ? (Good Solar & battery will give some cooking capability with inverter) (Not having a go at your van it looks amazing but feel builders need to think more practically)

      Hi Greg, When I speak about an awning on this video, I intend an erectable awning like a tent, that is attached to an awning rail on the side of your van. You can also get the awnings in a solid case, which are more of sun shade too, and they are fitted permanently on the side of the van, but I wouldn't put this in my top 5. Kind regards :)
