Duuudes! Y'all "ROCK", y'all goin hard in the paint, haven't even gotten halfways through the vblog & can already see it's goin 2 B a slam dunk!!! WTG!
I'm very impressed with the skills you have! This is so clever all the way through! The craftmen ship is outstanding!! This build is the most interesting I've seen, ever. I'm totally looking forward to seeing more. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lot of hard work gone into this. A few things concern me though. The cab and chassis flex. Fixing the cab to the body will push the stresses into the body which will have to twist. This will stress all the interior cabinets etc. Those patio doors are most likely illegal unless they are automotive spec glass. Side mounted seatbelts are illegal. You made a nice strong frame for the belts but the actual seating frame is wood which will collapse in an accident. That said, the interior fittings will most likely be torn from thier fixings which will injure (or worse) anybody in the area. If you look at commercially built campers, they use lightweight materials and fittings which are specced for vehicle use. Domestic products are totally unsuitable for this kind of build, especially if you have passengers in the habitation area. Would make a great static home but travelling in it would be risky.
Perfect build, like it very much. One thing though (as you will probably find out soon enough) The sink and the cooktop shouldn't be next to each other. It is very inpractical when you want to do the dishes... Moving the cooktop one spot over to the right (making it closer to the fidge) would be ideal... Maybe a little tip for the bunk beds. Traditionally bunk beds have some shallow storage underneath which can be reached by lifting the matras... very (sub)marine styly...

Whow ! wonderful ! Looks better than mine . only worry about the 'overhang' being to low.I have seen your insulation , A 2kw is enough . just make sure your sliding doors are WELL sealed .
They will be fine. The trucks suspension is pretty forgiving and I am making an aluminium cover that goes over them when travelling and opens upwards to become a canopy.
U have a good gift if u did this in ur spare time 2 other vans or trucks etc u will make a pretty penny a camper van or a truck camper will increase in value 70 or 80k for a new 1 theys days no doubt u get 1 like this u will get about 10 ta 15k for it maby more good build keep it up looking forward tell its fully finshed be a cracking truck 🚚
Nice looking job but with a few concerns, not sure the Daf is the ideal base with a tilt cab < your going to allways have leaks or damp patchs > Maybe would have gone for a drop - box cargo box & a MAN chassis then you have allways got the choice of dropping the living part & driving off. A domestic patio sliding door ! what can i say its going to leak it aint built for the flexie side of trucks also if you get a lot of body flex on a rough road it could jump its rollers < have you thought of a drop down patio which could cover the doors whilst mobile ? > other windows single glazed thats going to sweat & be cold. THe whole idea is good in the USA its normal but in their specs they use bonneted cabs NOT tilt cabs in the long term body / chassis flex will be your worry .
Top job lads that is !! I've been planning on doing one for a while, could I ask where you got the sleeper pod and side bits from, also the side skirts !?
Hi there this is fantastic 🥰🥰🥰I’m about. To start my own the only worry I have is cutting the cab 🙃🙃 and not sure where to get the roof pod from of info could be sent over that be a massive help
Wow, you guys should be proud of the work you have done so far. Its going to be amazing. So many people choose panel vans but I've been looking at the maxi low loader Lutons and library buses, if I want to be mobile or an artic box trailer if I go for a more permanent tiny home. It was the tipping cab which put me off a 7.5 ton box, but now I've seen yours I may have to rethink the maxi and look at 7.5t box instead. What are you using to seal around the cab to body joints? Where do you get the cab sleeper box and the cheeks? Great idea to reverse the body, BTW.
@@brianfindsall - and to you to. It looks like the 4m long maxi-mover low loader with barn doors would be my choice if I was to go that route. Probably with a NV400 / Movano cab as they look like they have a removable cab back panel for the walk through. The Peugeot, Citroën, Ducato cab looks visually nicer though.
Really nice, you are incredibly talented!! Fantastic work!! Just 1 question. Why didn't you place the stove at the end so there's a counter between it & the sink for prep & somewhere to sit clean dishes after they're washed?
hello I like the conversion I have a question whatever can hij get the wheelgards for the back of the truck or can you make me some hope to hear from you gr marijn from the Netherlands
The cab does still tilt. You can see it tilted in the video at 5:43. It is just a case of undoing four bolts that clamp the body and cab together to seal the water out.
WOW !! You did an amazing job on this trailer. I could totally live in one of these types with so much room . Do we get to see the finished results tour ?
Two more questions. 1 what was the link for the door 2 do you have a link for water tanks 3 not a question but an idea. Put the links in the description then we will stop bugging you 🤣
Wow, nice job so far. Great idea to turn the box. Didn't expect this one. Is there no water leakage? I mean, you still need to be able to get to the engine, so you can't close it all the way down. Is the rubber good enough? Compliments from Holland. I am looking for a similar truck to do "Van life". This is how I got to your video. You have great ideas, thanks for sharing.
There are no leaks at all. The frames on the cab and box have a 50mm wide by 10mm thick neoprene rubber seal and the two are bolted together. Once the bolts are removed the cab tilts as normal
EEK ! so you have bolted the cab to the box in theory ? yet the cab is rubber mounted to flex seperate from the fixed body , unless on perfect roads what happens to chassis flexing ?

Sorry for a serious question, but did you re-register it as a camper/motorhome or do you need a C/C1 license and still have to use the tacho? and what is the insurance costs? I'm planning on buying an 18ton and doing the same (I like my space). I have a C cat license.

I could really do with some help on the cab/box frame. Can you help. What size box section did you use? And are you anywhere near Dorset. Would love to have a look. Still trying to find the money to get mine started. Plus I need to learn how to weld ;-)
My advice is learn to weld before welding structural components on your truck. I used mostly 50x25x3mm box section for the frame. We are up near Liverpool but I'm sure if you are up here we could show you around. Also, make sure you can either store it dry or get it water tight as soon as possible whilst cutting open the cab
@@CleancutCampers thank you for the info. Will be putting in an order soon. I do have a friend that will help me that's been welding for years so hopefully all will be ok. Will pick a week in summer when I know it's going to be dry :-)

Dont know much about lorrys but dont you have to tip the cab to get to the engine to do maintenance on it? something you now cant do by putting in the permanent overhead bed?
It still tips like normal apart from needing to undo four bolts that clamp the body and cab together to seal the water out
Do you mind me asking where you sourced the over cab sleeper pod and side cheeks from?
They were from a company called Marine Industrial Moulding in Lancashire. They are very nicely made and fit perfectly
Typhoon Trailers perfect thank you ever so much 👍🏻
