Great watch. Very well done. The end result is amazing. ❤❤❤ Jim.
Thanks for the feedback Jim 😀
Bast cladding job Ive seen on YT
Thanks very much, it's appreciated 😀
Thinking of doing something like that on my own. I have a actually consider replacing the aluminum with OSB first. Would it be worth it to improve the ventilation by eliminating the aluminum? Or is it just too much hassle and not much gain
Seems to much hassle for the gain, also risk leaks even thinking about modifying these things. You should have a tyvek paper layer on the insulation then a small gap between that and the cladding. I'm going do a new video on this soon explaining all this and how I could have done it better. There will be a complete CAD model of the caravan including full plans quotes and all sorts of useful info that can be purchased in a pdf format for £10-15. Would this be of interest to you?
Oh and it's just normal house double glazing. 70mm fixed in using 'fire stop' method I.e. 38mm batton boarder around each window which is screwed into existing frame.
Hi mate would there be any possible changes you would upload a picture of the finished product outside and your thought on how well it had done for you thanks look an amazing job 👍🏻
Hi Daniel, I plan to do a final video on the caravan at some point but its a bit tricky as I don't live it in now but instead beside it. I have some cool pics of a pizza oven and table I designed/built that I took outside it as marketing pics, shows the caravan of as well, there's a patio outside it now to which is really cool.
Don't know if I can actually upload a pic in the comments, I'll try on my laptop though if not you'll need to wait until the video is up 😁
@@MrYobo666 thank you for replying, that would be class, all being well am going to start mine in the next month or so when the weather here picks up a bit, did you see a saving on heat inside the mobile with the extra insulation? Am planing on framing with 4x2 and 100mm insulation but just wonder would it be a bit of an over kill if thinner insulation was grand?
@@MrYobo666 I look forward to it 👍🏻
Looks good, I’d like to do the same with mine
Yeah go for it, make sure you leave a gap between insulation and cladding, I never did this n it would be better really, and use damp sheeting to.
Hi, I have been watching your videos with interest as I am planning a similar job. Just one question; you don’t seem to have built in an air gap between your insulation and the cladding. Will this not create the potential for damp problems in the future? Many thanks for the videos.
Hi Simon, there is no gap between the outer wall and insulation no your right, but I'm hoping this won't be an issue as the insulation is foil lying so damp should run down the front / Back of that, also the aluminium body of the caravan is in tact mostly so damp should run down to the bottom of this as well. The inside is also going to be heated with a stove and now with insulation improvements the whole place should retain more heat thus keeping the inside dry (hopefully haha). The cladding boards are also staggered so there's a gap on the outside of the insulation which is where the cold side is. Thanks for your concerns.
Did you screw the battening into exesting battening or use self tapper screws into the metal cladding
Existing battons Jake, they're only 20mm wide and a nightmare to hit centrally every time. I developed a method by denting the tin outside around the batton underneath with my hand / fist then marking the batton centrally using a sharpy, then line your outer batton up with it. Best way, also don't bother with a level or marking line straight down as the internal batton are often all over the place.
Hello, I am looking to clad my van, just wondering how you attach the frame to the van?
Hi there, I used battons 38mm x 50mm, lay down on the 50mm side so sticking up 38mm. With rail top bottom n in middle where no windows the same completely around the windows, which also known as fire safe battons in the joinery trade.
Hi, great job. I'm planning to do similar to my static caravan but I have one during questions I hope you can help me with... how do you attach the baton to the aluminium caravan? Screw/Bolt/Glue - combination? Please help!
Hi Julian, that's no problem happy to help. The batons are screwed to the body, there 38mm x 50mm, screwed on flat ways I.e. 38mm using 70mm screws. I've got a heap more vids of it as I'm near finished the outside now. Next video is a really good one on how to do the gutter. Make sure you subscribe n keep an eye out for it soon. Cheers
Thank you, appreciate that! I'm already subscribed so I'll keep an eye out for the next vids. Again, thank you, top man! Cheers @@MrYobo666

Nice
How much did it cost? Please
Cost around £6-7k
hi there what size of windows did you use and door 🤔
Hi Jay, window sizes are,
Our Bedroom 920 x 1050

I bought some new and some second hand, for sizing them as a rule of thumb don't go wider than the one you've taken out but you can go higher with out too much modification...
C20 YOB thank you 😁
how much would something like that cost?
Up to about £6k+ in material cost, not including my time which is A LOT of hours haha, if you paying a joiner spose you'd be up near £12-14k, if you were to buy it complete anything up to £30k, well that's what I'd be asking for it😀.
Wow thanks ! I wish I was useful with diy but I can’t change a plug 😂
No worries mate thanks for commenting, one thing to bare in mind is if actually going forward with something like this, would definitely be look at what you can get for your money, you could buy a far newer caravan with double glazing etc. Already in it For around £12-14k, what I've done is economical for me because no cost for time. Also around £14k upto 30k, you can get a serious pod from online or tiny house on a trailer etc. For that money....
@@MrYobo666 aye I work away and the caravan I bought isn't used enough and is old but in good shape but does need more insulation ideally
