Hi thanks for the praise my mother really appreciates it. However as skilled as she is she has only made these as a favour for us getting started but perhaps in the future.
Window in the sliding side door on Vans. This is there for increased view angle. Very useful when a road connects to another at an angle. Can't remember seeing any Berlingo Vans after 2003 models without it here in Norway. And VW Caddies very often got it installed at the importer here.(Glued on onto the outside, so not as elegant... ) Big tip; Berlingo Vans have the same bottom plates as the MultiSpace, so under the floor, just behind the wall that separates the cargo area from the cabin, there's a large cavity(rear seat passenger footwell on the MultiSpace), more than enough to fit a decent battery, or a diesel-based cabin heater... Is this a Long Wheelbase model? My B9(Van, Electric ) definitely doesn't have the length for a bed where I can lie down without something or other bending.
This looks lovely but access to the under bed storage would be good. I hinged my slats and put a door at the barndoor end. Just an observation, the overall finish is brilliant. it just seems such a waste of storage.
Hi Mandi, thanks for the nice comments and great suggestion for under the bed storage we will definitely be trying to use something like that in our next build. 🙌
Hi Steven, I haven’t re registered it actually but seen many discussions in the mirco camper/day van community around insurance. I personally wouldn’t but I guess it’s personal preference and how much you spent/how much the van is worth. Hope this helps 👍👍
Do you have to inform your insurance company what you've done. As i have found i had to tell them about fitting a roof basket and before a roof box most insurance companies are fine as long as you tell them. But if your camper is in a accident or stolen your insurance will be void if uou don't tell them. As long as its not a full build DVLA say it doesn't need registering but always check first. Happy Camping
We would always recommend checking with your insurance company first as they are all different and it depends on what you put. For example gas hobs are a big thing.
Great build. We’ve got a Berlingo car Microcamper. If you take off the head restraint on the driver’s side and the arm rests your seats should fold completely flat. Great for our compressor fridge and power station. Use window blinds and get rid of the curtains.

We built this as day van/ one night away on a campsite. Most sites now have those facilities on site. We have plans to build bigger vans with space to put in 'the loo' 😁👍
Looks really good 👍
Thank you very much, we really enjoyed doing it.
Alright mate, the bed looks mint, just wondered could your mum make the same seats for me and possibly my mate,top job well done lads!

This isn't the long wheel base but still very comfortable depending on how tall you are. Thanks for the tip too
@@afterhoursautomotive Well, I'm 1m85 so I doubt I would fit unless I use a diagonal.

Great job ! I wonder how have you done with the security belt for the middle seat ? I'm strugling with that !
We got a simple lap belt. You can get them from ebay, or even a scrap dealer may have one. Then you just bolt it securely to the base of the seat.
So an IKEA cabinet and a zbed then? Job done!
Did you re-register this with the DVLA as a camper or update your insurance. Doing the same thing with a van and am curious.
Hi Steven, I haven’t re registered it actually but seen many discussions in the mirco camper/day van community around insurance. I personally wouldn’t but I guess it’s personal preference and how much you spent/how much the van is worth. Hope this helps 👍👍
Steven: This will not be classed as a Camper ... no cooker, no sink, no awning ...
Hello, can I ask is this L1 or L2? Really like what you have done, thanks for sharing.
Hi Sarah, it’s just the standard L1!! Thanks for the comment we really appreciate all the support 👍👍

you need windows for this one
It does have windows one in each of the rear doors and one in the sliding door 👌👌👍
where did you get the black out curtain from mate?
It's off Ebay it's actually for a VW T4 van but fits perfectly in the small vans too 👌
Hi do you know the measurements for a wooden floor base for the back of a Citroen Berlingo multispace 2014? With the back seats taken out ?
Hi really sorry we don't might be worth checking online for specifications
Wondering the same!
What area of uk are you guys working. Id love you guys to work on mine when I buy mine.❤
We are based in Garstang near Preston. We are not taking on any new projects right now. But we will be in the very near future as we look to expand
What did you do with the seatbelt? Did you put a lap belt in?
We didn't fit a lap belt in the end, we leave the middle seat down as a small table. Thanks for your comment.
What length is the bed please 🙏
65 inch long thanks
is that a regular berlingo? how long is that bed?
Hi yes it is the standard length berlingo, the bed is 65 inch long
