Yes the wing bolts screw in to existing threaded inserts in the seat frames they would have been for a full metal bulkhead attachment and the D rings are already there fir lashing points.
@@Li-qq6oz hi there it was the low spec basic model which was fine. Just bought a Tekna eNV200 and done something similar but this time went for a rock and roll bed. I'll be putting a video of that together next week. We went for the Tekna this time as the day Mac takes your to a charge point when your low on battery and you get a full size reversing camera.
Oh...the E-one is good for our environment :) One more video? That would be nice :) Maybe i will bu y an Nissan next week. In the autumn and winter I want to expand it.
it was a 2012 with 45,000 miles on from new not the slightest trouble, 48+ mpg was a good reason to buy, Bluetooth, hands free, reversing camera all good,needed more space for use as a work van os have vauxhaull Vivaro now watch out for that conversion video soon.
i like your setup thank you but wouldn't go with the black out screen on the outside, if you get bad trouble or something and need to leave fast , put it on the inside, be safe and thanks again
it's not his idea...and you can't patent something like this anyhow. If those fasteners were a brand new design and he manufactured them, he could patent that...but he didn't, so he can't.
No description, but it appears that you have RIVNUTS mounted in the structure of the van to thread into. I don't see enough DIY van conversion people using them that seemingly should be. They have tremendous strength and the ability to remove the bolts time after time hugely exceeds a simple sheet metal screw. Nice conversion to "wing bolts" by welding on the flat pieces so that no tools needed.
The front section attached to m8 nut inserts already in the seat bases for attaching a bulkhead to in installed, the to of the right hand rear unit attached to a load restraint bar which was already in the van it's the sort of thing you get on floors someone to strap things like wheel chairs down too. Thanks for studying the video so closely.
Richard, can I buy a copy of your plans? I’m a single woman with no drafting skills but I bet I could build it if you told me how! I could even return them after I’m done, if you are keeping them on the low, I respect that.
yeah, diagonal makes sense...that and/or putting feet on the layed down front passenger seat. (or maybe they were referring to sleeping in the pop-top bed...idk)
Was für tolle Ideen! Die Spannschlösser! Das hab ich noch nirgends gesehen.... Zwei Fragen: Wie lang sind die Matrazen zusammen und könnte man den Vordersitz normal benutzen und das Auto fahren? - What great ideas! The turnbuckles! I've never seen that .... Two questions: how long are the mattresses together and could you use the front seat normally and drive the car? THX!
The mattress is 1.95 metres long and the two front seats can stay upright in the driving position but we tended to flatten the passenger seat for somewhere to put a big and glasses.
pretty cool...you could maybe make a little money on the side just selling diagrams on how to build that furniture. Don't understand why the US version of the NV200 only gets 25 mpg(?)
Yep I guess you may be comparing diesel with petrol/gasoline and your is gallon being smaller. In UK the petrol only does 33 which is 28 in us gallons. Next project is a fiat Ducato diesel 3.5 ton 48 mpg.
@@richardcresswell7096 You won't get 48mpg from that. I can barely get that from the Berlingo minicamper i'm making up. i would have rushed and out a bought one. More like 25-35 in real world with load out on country lanes.
@@flybobbie1449 hi there don't know if your in the us with your small gallons? But her in UK on diesel 48 was the normal and if it dropped from that I knew I either had a flat tyre of the air filter need changing. If you hammered up and down motorways at 70 plus all day you were down to 42.
Nice work on a lot of it. The woodworking is clean. BUT DON'T SAY A WORD!!! (always seems weird to me when someone posts a video with audio, but never says anything... it's just... odd)
I agree, there's really not much of an excuse for a video without audio. If there's wind or your mic just sucks, overdub some narration over the video. As far as a language barrier (for those in non-english speaking countries), they can just mute the sound.
What model year is your NV200? How many miles do you have on it? What mechanical problems have you had? I'm trying to decide between a 2017 Nissan vs. the Ford Transit Connect.
Ian Van Mann - I think you'd have plenty room and moreso especially if a single traveler, you can extend bed to include the folded or back/completely removed passenger seat space?
Alison Cresswell - I think publishing a tutorial brochure on Amazon & posting the link w/ your videos would be an awesome combo. Everyone would have access to the design & you'd make some coins. Paper/hard copy to start, I wouldn't sell an ebook, downloadable or pdf format till much later. Thoughts?
The average American has never owned a hammer they always show these things by Master mechanics in master workman's how about somebody who's never owned the tool
Best one I've seen. I like that you can convert back and forth from camper to cargo van. Very nice.
Best conversion for this van I've seen yet. Beautiful. I am going to try this layout in my van.
Hello from Canada. Wow! Well thought out. It was like watching someone putting a puzzle together.
Love how you built this! Evil Genius or Engineer!
Nice well though out and exquisitely done, thanks for sharing
Very impressive, if someone would manufacture these as a kit I think I'd buy a Nissan V200 next time around.
dobe762 They do! Wayfare!

Hi. Which model it is?
Nissan NV200 Evalia Tekna? Or
Nissan NV200 Evalia Combi?
I really like your idia

Cooker worked well for 2 years now doing will with new owner.
No I just made it as a one off if you have a van you will work out most of the dimensions easily.
i like your setup thank you but wouldn't go with the black out screen on the outside, if you get bad trouble or something and need to leave fast , put it on the inside, be safe and thanks again
Well done! Doing like this you can use it both as a "work-car" and camping-van.
No just a one off we made to go camping doing the same now for our new bigger van video will be up in a week or two.
Don Richard, muy buena idea.
all that good workand you risk it by not lining where the cooker is with ally sheet
Very clever. You should Patton it so knowone can steal your idea. And sell them..... I'll be your first customer
it's not his idea...and you can't patent something like this anyhow. If those fasteners were a brand new design and he manufactured them, he could patent that...but he didn't, so he can't.
taradead ... oh. Ok, thanks for the info... But, it's very nice though
I'm a sculptor full time so no interest in making vehicle conversions but I hope other folks do.

I live in Japan. I’d have to buy another freakin’ house to have somewhere to store all those boxes! 😅
Hello, it is very brilliant ! I would like to do the same ! Is this possible sharing the plans? thanks a lot
This has got to be the most genius nv200 camper van design I have seen. You should sell your design. I would love to do this myself as well.
Very nice set up.
Richard, can I buy a copy of your plans? I’m a single woman with no drafting skills but I bet I could build it if you told me how! I could even return them after I’m done, if you are keeping them on the low, I respect that.
Very well done
Now that is cool !
you did a smart job
Well planned!
Got one of these vans they are superb but the size from firewall to back door is 6ft
So if your over that forget a camper van
I'm exactly 6 ft and considering one. However, I've read of guys 6'4" sleeping in there comfortably...don't know how they do it.
Probably corner to corner failing that I haven’t a clue
I transport 6 ft fence panels and there bang on .
yeah, diagonal makes sense...that and/or putting feet on the layed down front passenger seat. (or maybe they were referring to sleeping in the pop-top bed...idk)
Awesome design thanks for sharing! What's the brand & model of the little grey cooker? Link?

Impressed 👏
Great video can you tell me what do they call them hook fixings and where did you get then
pretty cool...you could maybe make a little money on the side just selling diagrams on how to build that furniture. Don't understand why the US version of the NV200 only gets 25 mpg(?)
taradead an imperial gallon is 1/4 bigger than a US gallon, that's why.
Probaby has more to do with the fact the U.K. version is 1.5 L diesel and the U.S. version is 2 L gasoline...it's more powerful, but less mpg.
Yep I guess you may be comparing diesel with petrol/gasoline and your is gallon being smaller. In UK the petrol only does 33 which is 28 in us gallons.

James kein problem
I like those sliding windows. Could you let me know where you got them? I am looking for exactly that! Thanks ...
All the window glass came from a vehicle glass supplier just North of Birmingham UK I'm sure Google will find the them for you.
Nice! GG

I am happy he did not put on some horrible "music" as most of the people do.
Didn’t bother me....
Bet £10 he was in the scouts !
Cool...Gefällt mir...
Brilliant

what is the electric box under drivers seat and how much was it, wonderful job
gordon jamiesn battery for fridge charged from main battery via split charge diode all cheep eBay probably
Class !
great video, what length is the bed im 6 foot 3 and seriously buying this van as my second conversion
2 meters Grest van
will be a tight fit...but if you install a pop-top, you can stretch all the way.
Ian Van Mann - I think you'd have plenty room and moreso especially if a single traveler, you can extend bed to include the folded or back/completely removed passenger seat space?
Beautiful work! Truly an awesome camper. How much did it sell for?
7000
7000 pounds = 9,400 US dollars

Whats your thoughts on insulation heat vs cold?
Can you do it in my nv200?
Where do the wing bolts screw into Richard? Are those existing female threads part of the cargo van? And the Ds for the bottom of the turnbuckles?
Jim Brown hi did you see the explanation I put up in the comments box?
I do now yes, thanks. This is a very clever convesion
