    Shit... I just discovered today that putting anything in to the profiles is absolutely wrong, incorrect and it's literally destroying a Van. Specially this cloudy foam, PUR foam or whatever. Profiles must be empty to transport water through it to the floor profiles. My Van is literally rotten all around on a bottom IN ONE YEAR!!! Every connection on a walls starts to rust. Last MOT was nothing about corrosion, after one year living in a Van it's Disaster. I bought new van because to weld it, repair that rust is completely unviable... Even if you repair it next year gonna be the same because water can't go down because profiles are not drained.

    I didn’t bother with the brackets even though I got them , I used L shaped lengths of aluminium like the old fashioned bed frames from years ago cut to exactly size I wanted and simply bolted to exactly same place you put your bolts and wood . Only I didn’t need any wood the the 3 Skorva bed beams slotted in the L shaped aluminium perfectly and I bought the mattress to size by firm that makes them from 180 quid upwards . No way would I start cutting mattresses up . Still everyone to their own good to see the many different ways of doing stuff on you tube my van is also a boxer. Ps: I’m now thinking of doing away with the Skorva beams a few using similar L shaped steel like mine at the front and rear so it’s keeping the oats in place without any movement like the old beds years ago

    The vapour barrier thing is a subject for endless discussion. I'm not bothering with it as it's basically impossible to actually keep all vapour out. Vans are FULL of bends, holes and other weird shapes that cannot be fully sealed. Insulate, ventilate, keep it simple.

    Our first van was a vauxhall vivaro... Bought cheap for a weekend warrior camper, what a money pit that was... We bit the bullet and just bought a 2022 ducato with 50k miles for 17k... That vivaro was 2500 to buy and we put about 5k into it with repairs and welding and it's completely broken, sometimes you just have to cut your losses...

    Sometimes when multiple faults come up it's actually a 12v or earth fault. I would go round every earth strap under the bonnet and undo and redo the connections, check the battery connections - remove and replace, don't just visually inspect them. Good luck sorting it. As for rear view camera and solar - I'm sure people would find that useful.

      ​​@@shareman1727 yeah thanks for the wikipedia copy paste, i knew that. I was asking rag2pitches.. She doesnt seem to have an understanding of condensation at all. Im sure that as soon as winter comes around, that van is going to be dripping with condensation after a night or 2.

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches 5 місяців тому

      When warm air hits cold surfaces - usually due to to humidity. When it cools down too quickly it turns to moisture….. not really sure why the can will be dripping with condensation when you just watched us vapour barrier?! I am intrigued as to what you would have done different Bas?

    • @bas7905
      @bas7905 5 місяців тому

      @@Rags2Pitches iv lived in a fully isolated camper for 2 years and in winter, its going to be dripping with water on the inside. The vapour barrier is good for keeping condensation that forms on the inside of the van panels from getting inside your living area. But the air inside your living area will condensate on the inside, mostly on the windows/walls. The vapor barrier might allow some of that to get transferred to the other side of the vapour barrier but then you get more water on the inside of your van. Only thing that i know that will really keep it dry is 1. Ventilation, which in winter will make it very cold. Or 2. Constantly heating the van. (Not really great because warm air holds more moisture and as soon as it cools down you'll see condensation) Im not trying to be mean, i just wondered if you really knew how condensation works seeing how it seemed like you didnt. Maybe i got that wrong....? Anyway, please keep posting updates and especially when winter comes around (i dont know if youre going to be living in your campervan around that time) because i'll be very interested in your experience!
