    Good job, you should have added some sound deadening to the wheel arches and side panel. It makes a big difference to the road noise

    Love your videos, they are a fantastic help. How did you cut the panel clip holes out on the side panels once they are carpeted? Thanks!

    Well done great job, if you could improve the audio that would be helpful as my hearing isn’t great. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey! nice job. Did you use longer trim clips for the panels or use originals? if so would you be able to link me to them. Thankyou

      Hi yes the carpet we ordered from vandalised on eBay came with longer trim clips. I’m sure they sell them on their own too

    Hi guys, can you tell me where you got your recycled bottle insulation from please? Thank you

      Hi there, it was purchased off Amazon, B&Q also sell some though

    The van looks great ! what is this isolation you used and where did you buy it ? thanks

    • @cruisycampers4749

      Thanks! We used recycled plastic bottle insulation. We usually get this from b&q but they had sold out. So we got this stuff off amazon

    I don't think carpeting is the same as insulation. It'll still get very cold or hot. You might want to use something like ArmaFlex.

      Yeah I agree insulation is always better, in a small van like a caddy we are trying to save space. The carpet stops the metal work forming condensation and makes the van feel more cosy. We will also be fitting a diesel heater for those cold winter nights

    What stage would you be putting electrics in? Before carpeting?

      On this conversion we ran the wiring after we carpeted and then connected it all up as the units went in

    Looks are going do the back doors

    • @cruisycampers4749
      @cruisycampers4749  3 роки тому

      Thanks! We have done the panels on the back doors. But we wont be doing the metal work as it's hard to get a neat finish and we think the blue metal work looks great contrasting

    What size of carpet did you get from the suppliers on ebay? Thanks 👍🏼

    • @cruisycampers4749
      @cruisycampers4749  3 роки тому

      We ordered 20sqm as we had to carpet the poptop and we need some left over for the roof bed. I believe you can get away with 10sqm in a caddy maxi though

    Going to be cold without insulation .

    • @cruisycampers4749
      @cruisycampers4749  2 роки тому

      The van has got some insulation. If you were to sufficiently insulated a caddy you wouldn't have any space inside

    It's waisting your time and money for carpet , if you didn't insulated side windows panels and wheel arches.
    It only look nice - only benefit for you.

    Poor job. Not enough sound deadening and no insulation. Going to be cold at night.
