    I really admire those who do a van build on a budget and especially those who recycle/reuse old furniture and materials.
    The build is functional but not overly complicated while still looking like a nice place to work and relax. Well done, I like it a lot.

    I’m an old dude who has lived overseas for 30 yrs and as such have never really got to know our beautiful country so I bought an old T4 and doing a total resto, but you know what, I respect the basic build you have done and congratulate you.

    I’ve followed you for years and was surprised to see this pop up in my feed as I bought a white T4 last week that is already converted. Camping on mull will be so much more luxurious now 😁

    I bought a T6 nearly 6 years ago to use as an overnight bed for my photography. I figured I could travel to a destination late evening for a sunrise shoot the next morning. Since then we’ve moved house twice, I changed my job, and family issues has left it still as a Kombi ( 3 seats up front, 3 seats in the rear with a huge boot space ). Your van is a perfect example of how simple a conversion can be, it does everything you need it to, and keeps it inexpensive 👏👏👏

    Doing things a bit different in terms of cheap and I like that. My Vivaro is on similar lines, but the R&R bed/Smev kitchen swivel double seat route and 8 years on coming up to 200 nights for me, the wife and a dog named Boo. Thanks for sharing.

    I had a VWT4 spent over a year converting it, 2 days before my trip my engine blew up. Sat on the drive or 2 years before I sold it for scrap! haha.
