Got one of those CADAC 2 ring burners recently, so versatile, especially with the griddle and skillet additions to the standard pot holders. No more carrying around frying pans. It's the perfect two ring cooker.
Thanks. Yes it has a leisure batter under drivers seat, next to the main battery. It also has mains power via hook up. As the owners don’t intend being ‘off grid’ much no inverter was necessary but you could easily fit one in the main cupboard to give you 240v. The bed is 1720mm but with its spacing gives about 1800mm of useable space.
Most people who rattle on about the wet belt engine have never owned one, but are instead caught up in internet scaremongering. I run a fleet of hire vans, including Nine Fords with wet belt engines.....never had a problem.
@@KennyRoberts-w3zI’ve owned two wet belt customs one failed at 26k and one failed at 31k just a few months later on. Both were actually refunded on finance (after a legal wrangle) and I’m back to having my Vito and an older 2016 custom - with a chain.
Not sure where you got your data but you’re incorrect. A quick google search reveals in 2023 had 193.5 dry days and 171.5 days where at least 1mm of rain fell but out of those days it did rain there still would have been some opportunity to be outside and dry. Realistically we’ve never been stopped from cooking outside. From Cornwall to Scotland we’ve always had opportunities to cook outside. Last December we cooked outside nearly every day of our Scottish trip. If the weather did stop us I would rather go out to dinner than make the van stink. Each to their own though and thats why every van is individually built for each owner to their own spec.

@@darthsarcastus1064 fantastic 👍🏻
Excellent work!!!
Thank you!
nice that , different . you can still put a camp cooker on the worktop if needed. 👍
Definitely! We use one of the small camping stoves if we’re making a cuppa inside.
Really like this, how much for the bed and kitchen pod please?
Get in touch via email and we can go through some options.
Looks great! Does it have leisure batteries/inverter/etc? If so where have you located them on this example?
Also, how long is the bed please?
Thanks.

I like this. Is that build out of 18mm ply
15mm birch ply
Wet belt comes to mind!

Servicing is the key to longevity on any van.
You have to remember only the worst stories make the internet interesting.

They can differ so best to check the individual van you’re looking at.
Fords best Transits and they don't even offer them in the US ,
You might get the new one?
Nice conversion, personally wouldnt recommend an outside cooker setup as we only get around 130 dry days in the UK.
