  • This video is of my daughter and I out for a picnic in our Nissan Primastar campervan. I will be selling it on eBay in a few days (probably w/b 28th July 2014).
    This is the ideal vehicle for touring and camping. It has 240V electrics with hook-up via an external connection box and an RCD consumer unit for safety. There are 3 x 12v sockets, 2 x double 240V sockets and 2 x USB sockets in the rear. The 120A/h leisure battery has plenty of power for all your 12v gadgets.
    The sink is fed via a submersible electric pump and has fresh and waste water tanks which are easily accessible from the rear doors. Under the sink is a slide out toilet which is also easily accessible for filling and emptying. Lots of storage space in the cupboards and lockers. The stow away table can be put up in seconds and seats 4 people comfortably at meal times.
    The swivel seats form part of the bed thereby freeing up the rear space so the porta-potti type toilet can
    be used at night, there is also a slide out privacy screen for the sink/toilet area. A Zig unit controls the
    mains and 12v electric systems and has a separate output for the fridge. The whole van has been fully
    insulated with SuperQuilt insulation and carpet lined. It also comes with a set of thermal window blinds.
    The van drives like a car and can be used as an everyday vehicle, it even fits in my garage. The 2.0L
    diesel engine with its six speed gearbox is economical to run and still has the power to overtake up hills! It is also fully registered as a Motor Caravan on the V5 document so normal van speed restriction don't apply.

    *That 'Slider-door' for toilet privacy IS BRILLIANT!* (It takes up almost no space, and is simple to use for 'private functions')
    *I see there is also an 'outside access' to remove the cassette for emptying so you don't have to move it around inside where any spillage would mean disaster*
    *Job well done!*

    Nice conversion. I like the sink and gas going along the back window. Yes, like the others have said, the beds do look uncomfortable but I guess you don't know until you've tried them. Thanks for showing your conversion.

    Great looking van. I agree with the other comments about sleeping. I am amazed how much is in your van.

    Bollox to all the critics. If you can sleep in it then who cares. I personally think its an amazing use of such a small space. Liked and subbed.

    great little van. I love the red and white trim, and that sliding porta potti idea is just genius.
    I think I would have to do something with the bed arrangement though. It looks flat - like a roller coaster is flat! There are a number of options you could consider: pop top roof bed, or change the seats for flat back fold flat ones like Ford and VW do in their Multivan concepts. And yes, I'd want a cooker, even if it's just a canister hob.

    I have to agree with the many comments about the sleeping setup, it doesn't look like you will get a comfortable nights sleep. I would also have gone with a thicker material for the curtains. But each to their own. Good luck, have fun.

    Terrible sleeping arrangement. It makes the terrific work on the rest of the van an absolute waste. Its more like a rolling office! Plenty of sockets for your printer, copier, coffee machine and computer!

      +Ginette Hebert right. their older campers from the 90s were better than this. this looks like a regular micro being forced to be a camper.

    only thing missing to be perfect is a shower and a matress topper for that terribly uncomfortable sleeping area and a solar panel.

      @ianpatrick772  6 років тому +1

      Everyone who says the bed arrangement doesn't look very comfy are of course correct, but it wasn't meant to be for long term camping just a day van with the option of sleeping over night.

  • @edwardcharles9764
    @edwardcharles9764 6 років тому

    The beds don't work! The hump in the join would play havoc and even more so trying to lie down on your side. No hot water and really not enough capacity anyway, so is it camp site washrooms? If so restricts where you stay compared to wild and adds cost. It's a day can really and on that basis a nice conversion. (Apart from the colour of those seats!!!!)

  • @tarot-karma-online

    at least put some piece of wood on the seats to make the surface even... looks uncomfortably. Also, why people like to carry their toilet beside the cooker is a mystery to me... Do you want to use it, when your partner is in the van. No thanks. Get rid of the toilet. Otherwise it looks nice and more like an office or an emergency sleep over.

      Ian Patrick - You did an *excellent* job. Your design became the basic standard for what I look for in a van conversion, ever since I first saw your video a couple years ago. Every so often I return to review some of the components. I enjoy it every time, all over again. Thank you.
