VW Caddy Camper Conversion

This is a prototype campervan conversion for a small 7 seater MPV. Having had a chance to use the van a few times now I don't think there's anything I'd change. It works well and is perfect for touring the highlands!

[@davidvardy8582]

Very nice conversion, especially like the window vents and the mechanism for the bed extension!

[@antonoat]

Excellent, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing properly like you most certainly have! I think the secret to the success of a vehicle like this is planning and giving everything it's own space
! cheers.

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

100% agree that planning is key, there is no room to spare!

[@Fekillix]

You are an exceptional carpenter, I see a lot of details here that outsmart CNC cut solutions of big brand campers

[@sunnyrivers]

Clever, well done, thank you for sharing your ideas. The hot water thermos👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@leilal8053]

So CUTE and PRACTICAL....has ALL the percs.

[@Kiwi_Ed]

Thanks for the video, very nice build! I got lots of little ideas from this for our own conversion. Now we only need to find the right van :-)

[@bonnienklyde918]

This is incredibly cool. Very very small but hey, I would definetly be happy to live in there. So nice and very cool how it was set up. Great great ideas.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Very nice conversion 👍 with some very clever ideas. The bug screen is fab! And very wise to install a Dalek ( cleverly disguised as a water container) for additional protection from midges...exterminate...exterminate 😁😉

Great wood workmanship, great build and well done

[@smithywick]

Absolutely amazing what a fantastic job 🙌🚚🙌

[@missglenellen]

Excellent, great for Ireland too!

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Great work with good ideas , nice woodwork

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

I’m glad that the video has helped you. Good luck with your project, it’s a very satisfying thing to do.

[@angelapluckhahn7930]

Wunderschön 🤩

Sos un capo que la disfrutes. Felicitaciones.

[@tonybasilio7003]

Well done! Well thought out design

[@arwalt5310]

Very good conversion! And very interesting solutions for detail problems. Not everything is useful for me, because I have the small caddy version, but I got a lot of ideas while watching your video. Greetings - Armin from Bremen/Germany.

[@CosgroveNotts]

Nice bit of wood. I'd do summat with the curtains. It lets it down

[@cheeserolls8238]

A brilliant job!!!

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

Options during lockdown were limited, I elected for recycling!

[@BibbityBobbityBooBoo]

Genius!!

[@welditmick]

Only one problem - If it is 'persisting down' you still have to go outside to operate the bed stops to fold it down. Why not put them on the inside of the bed frame with access from the top? Just a thought. Nicely done by the way.

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

No, there is room to do everything from inside - not easy but it can be done👍

[@sarahhartfeld9378]

Well done.

[@peterpacciani666]

That toilet takes way too much space...i would rather go for number 2 in the forest lolz

[@jensadolffrese7145]

Thank you wat is a wonderful car

[@julieparke2801]

Genius.

[@willsvanadventures]

Really nice conversion, love the colour of the caddy as well. Have you got any trips planned?

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

Thanks Will, just waiting for travel restrictions to be relaxed🤞🤞

[@willsvanadventures]

@@mearnswoodwork5150 same here! Soon hopefully!

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

Thank you 😀

[@TimmyBobinson]

If you could state that it is a MAXI and not the standard cab size in the heading, that would be helpful, thanks.

[@MrTerrierLove]

You seem to have figured it out ok

[@Radio4ManLeics]

I like the craftsmanship in the bed slats, but you've put too much in the van imho. It's very cramped and cluttered. Less is more! Could you lose that o/s rear corner wc cabinet and do a simpler fold out bed base? The bitty cushions are a bit sad really. Good luckbwith yur midges!

[@kate682uk]

Very impressed with this, you’ve got some amazing ideas. I have a caddy maxi, and wondered would it be possible to buy two midge covers for the windows from you at all? Regards kate

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

Hi Kate, yes that would be possible. Can you contact me through my website, Mearns woodwork, details are in the about tab.

[@georgeclarke1183]

nice conversion utilising every inch of space is there any books available on converting a caddy van into a camping van any help would be greatly appreciated

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

Hi George, I’m not aware of any books, UA-cam is the best resource I’ve found.

[@schnickschnack2090]

👍👍👍

[@poenelanienanie]

What a tidy coorie it is.. 0:28 Aye watch out for those pesky midgies, those wee bastards will take a pish on yer wheels

[@marvona3531]

🍀🌸🍀🌸🍀🌸

[@georgeclarke1183]

is this a maxi caddy or just a normal van

[@mearnswoodwork5150]

Hi George, it’s a maxi.
