Hi Shaun please email thecaravandoc@yahoo.co.uk. That’s my main job as a caravan and Motorhome service engineer. I build the campers around my job as and when they come in. Thanks

No worries. I’ll do another video just for demo purposes to try and explain it better

Hi Shelly thanks for your comment. If you could email Northwalescampers@yahoo.co.uk we can discuss what you’d like and price from there. I can then give you my contact number through our email chat. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Tony thanks for your comment. Yes of course if your local or not to far from Rhyl I’d be happy to help. It would take 2 trips however due to needing to take various measurements from the passenger seat base and fixing points and then a return trip to Fit it and make sure I’m happy with the install and that it’s all working as it should. My email is in the description. Thanks Rob

Unfortunately it doesn’t. I’ve been trying to find someone willing to use their vehicle as a donor and would get it at cost price.

@@NorthWalesCampers i would donate mine but on a very tight schedule... gettin van on 12th sept... work on it then back to spain 28th sept.. plus i is in Kent.. thanks anyway

Thank you so much. Please consider subscribing. More videos to come.

Hi Chris, over the next couple of weeks I’ll be doing a mock up panel, along with adding an additional 2 batteries into my work van to power lights, large 2000 watt inverter and power points. Thanks. Please subscribe to be notified when it becomes live. Thanks again.

@@NorthWalesCampers just subscribed. Thank you, that will be great.

Nothing has arrived. How can I help.

@@NorthWalesCampers looking for a swivel for a Fiat Doblo 2005 . Is there any available? Thanks 🙏

Hiya. Thanks for your comment. Mine was around 1780mm in length but you could easily make it longer. It would just protrude past the sliding door a little more that’s all.

@@NorthWalesCampers thanks mate! I appreciate your quick reply and help :)

Hi Ian, thanks for your question. Ideally you want an ignition feed so it only powers the charger once the engine is running, otherwise you risk flattening the vehicle battery.

@@NorthWalesCampers thanks for the reply, I've since seen another vine of you videos with the two connectors behind the battery box! Currently on my way to Wales. Wish I spotted you earlier and could have booked in for you to do it 😂

If you struggle please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m a caravan and Motorhome service engineer full time, campers as a hobby.

Hi Steve I used for galaxy seats. They were fairly straightforward to fit. Just drilled new holes on the bases. You’ll need another drivers side base. There straightforward to fit to as the holes are already in the floor.

Sorry forgot to ask. What units did you use for the kitchen part ?

I used 1x base cabinet and 1x wall cabinet from B&Q but I now build them bespoke myself when needed.

I’m not sure. Possibly. Depends on the seating mounting locations.

Unfortunately I don’t but if you were local to north wales and would allow me to use your van as a guinea pig for measurements etc and be happy to do it at a reduced price for you. Only problem is, it would need to be 2 visits. Measuring and then returning for fitting and any mods that might be needed.

Hiya, there just 1 base cabinet and 2 wall units from B&Q. I now build them Hope this helps.

Will do. Thank you.

Hi Steve yes of course, I’m in Rhyl. I ended replacing 2 of my injectors during my ownership. And the air flow mass sensor, go genuine only. Cheap ones will throw up a fault. (Mass sensor)

@@NorthWalesCampers we go to rhyl a lot you might have seen my van if we have passed each other white with red wrap long botton black bonnet and black strip on windscreen welsh dragon on back doors side windows same as yours side bars and 17" bmw alloys ....does stand out a bitjust never got up to doing inside.........thank you will let tou know if i am going to put solar panel on her .. take care for now...steve.

I’m not sure. Probably be able to do it but would need measurements and a donor vehicle.

@@NorthWalesCampers Would love for you to have a go on mine!

Do you have one. That would be fun.

You need to check the engine block over. Remove the injectors and clean out the hole. Anything obvious in there. How did you remove the injectors.

Hi Mike. Apologies for the delay. I can supply the plate to You. If you’d Like to email me we can sort something out. Thanks.

Hiya, the lower floor causes no issues at all. Designed for wheel chair users originally. They make great micro campers and the space feels bigger. There are few options you can go with the lower floor. Please check out one of my other videos.

Thank you.

At the minute unfortunately not. I’ll be testing and producing some later this year all being well.

Top of my head it was 2 sheets maybe just over.

Hiya unfortunately I can’t, as I’m selling this as a product.

Thank you so much. Means a lot. This is probably my favourite build so far.

Hiya. Thanks for your comment. Yes it does.

Hiya thanks for your comment. It’s a 2012 Fiat doblo. The unit was around 1550mm long, around 450mm in depth and height to the worktop was 650-700mm a I remember. It was a while ago when I built this. It also had a roof tent mounted which had solar installed too. I think primarily he was going to sleep in the roof tent but on the colder nights he would sleep inside the vehicle. Hope this helps. I squeezed quite a lot in it as it was my customers request. He wanted more in. I had to reduce it down quite a bit.

Hi , I’ve replied back to your email.

Hi. Thanks for the comment. Possibly. It’s all down to space on the drivers side because of the handbrake.

I want to do this with both seats to, did you made it work for both seats?

Thank you. Unfortunately I no longer own the camper. Wasn’t using it. I’ll build another one slightly bigger in a couple of years.

Hi pal, leave it with me and I’ll did the info out for you. The seats were from a ford galaxy. Minor adjustment to original base and you’ll need a drivers side base for the passenger side if you go single seat there. Solar I used renogy175watt kit, taps cheap household mixer tap£15. Lights pack of 6 for £20. Agm 110amp battery. Submersible pump.

Wow, thanks for your speedy reply. I appreciate any help you can give. Both my seats are already singles. So no drama there. Already gave diesel heater and leisure battery fitted as its an ex- gas board van. Thanks, Mark.

Thank you so much. Means a lot.

Apologies just seen. I advertise them on Facebook market place for £450 without cushions. I’ve redesigned it a little to make it lighter to enable removal easier whilst maintaining its structural strength.

They just pop of if I remember. Maybe one screw max holding on place.

Your choice buddy, it’s either that or my horrible voice which I’m not a fan of. I’m trying and new to this.

They do make great little campers. This one’s probably a touch over crowded but the owner wanted loads of storage.

I’m a caravan and Motorhome service engineer, manufacturers who build Motorhomes whether that be coach built or a van conversion there’s never a vapour barrier, plus other professional builders I speak to never install them and for me I just think they cause bigger issues down the line. Just make sure you add ventilation both high level and low level. You’ll never have issues then unless water gets in from outside. Hope this helps.

@@NorthWalesCampers that's interesting to know. I'm looking for a van to build. Thanks for your video and time answering my question

Hi Rachel the tail gate has extended handles to enable to close it and I altered the locking mechanism to be able to unlock/ lock from inside.

Hi thank you so much for your lovely comment. I would have personally done the exact same as you suggested but the customer wanted more storage and as he was paying it was up to him. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much. Means a lot. I really enjoyed this build. This is just a hobby of mine around my main job as a caravan and Motorhome service engineer.

Hi @Romany thanks for your comment. Yes please don’t hesitate to get in touch in the new year. More than happy to give you a quote. Ask the best for 2024 and hour you had a great Xmas.

Wow. Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
