Picking up a maxus this weekend. The start of the long awaited first van build begins 😁. Some great tips, especially the floor!
Thanks for all the great videos. Looks like I will have to watch them all again.
Keep up the good work. Totally inspiring 👏👏👍
Thank you that’s really appreciated good luck with your build
How did you guys go?
@@Celt_Dowunder absolutely love it!
@@thefriendlyfishermanuksout6176 that’s fantastic
i just bought an ldv maxus last week and someones had a go at converting her but i'm gonna strip it out and start again, this video is a great help, thanks!
Hi you are absolutely welcome good luck with your build 👍🍻👍
Mel if you're ever bored, try watching your videos with the auto-generated subtitles turned on. It is hilarious. Thank you for your down-to-earth approach to van building, I have just taken the plunge.
Hi thank you You’re not the first person to say that lol 😂 I’m slowly going through them and changing them but it’s taking me for ever 😂
But now After your message I may just leave it good luck with your build and thank you for the positive feedback really appreciated 👍🤓👍
Thank God for Clouds ! .... or should that be, Thank smart people for "the cloud" ... :D Alot of great tips there, thanks. I note new LDV v80 vans have a roof section designed for vents / sun roofs - No corrigation to deal with. V an looks GREAT ! I'm looking at a new LDV V80 SWB , low roof (for underground parking) . In Australia, V80s are built in China ...so don't expect the floor problems you had .. actually I expect the opposite - Floor dings / cuts just by looking at it .. LOL!
G day glad it was of use I didn't know about the V80 roof it will be interesting to know how you get on please keep me updated I was thinking of doing a low roof next time as less restricted on where you can park
Hi Mel. I’ve commented on your Sprinter videos. This was my original plan to buy a new LDV and I’ve got back to that idea now. Any thing you regret or would do differently. I guess you sold this? Phenomenal speedy job!!! You clever stealthy builder. I was waiting for you to say ‘3 sheets to the wind’ LOL
Lol love it only regret was selling my Maxus and getting a sprinter if you need a hand let me know 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld I wish you could help me. I was thinking exactly that. Tis a long way to travel with heavy tools lol
@@Celt_Dowunder what !! Have you not seen my video on how to build a camper using simple hand tools 🤣😂👍
Cleaned up nicely.
Ron Wasser thank you yes it did 🤓🤙
:( I so wish I bought this ldv maxus in 2016 when I was thinking and looking for a van to build into a camper, it was a 58 plate, crew cap 62k on the clock for £2500 :( I admit I was put off by it looks and being a ldv. But I wish I bought it now in stead of waiting and saving up for the crafter I have now 😊
Sorry Ment 56 plate and 2018 😂
Thank's for sharing Mel. 🚐 🇬🇧
you are welcome I was worried it was a little long-winded
Goodman mel, love the videos, just curious why did you sell the maxius for the sprinter, the maxius seemed alot cleaner motor
I just wanted a new project
Do you think there is money to be made at converting vans to stealth campers, just curious for a sideline money spinner
very useful thanks for sharing
thanks for watching and the positive comments
@@BigVanSmallWorld can you explain how you attached the paneling onto the walls of the van, thanks
How is the LDV.... Your first after the VW? Before your Transits and current Sprinter? Just founs both your LDV Van vids 😄
Hi as far as I know it’s now got it’s second owner since I built it and there living it in full time 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld glad to hear.... (They do make actual Camper vans for Asia, complete with bathroom, founded as i was scrolling after your vids(as i didnt know what an LDV Maxus was, i wiki it 😆) ua-cam.com/video/n47HAEHqrfk/v-deo.html, Sorry its in Indonesian...
You have improved since that vid.👍🏻 200% on your vid quality.😊
Thank you that’s really kind of you to say 👍🤓👍
Hi Mel. I'm looking out for LDV Maxus at the moment to buy. May I ask how tall you are and what height you had left after the insulating and putting floor and TnG in ? Thank you
I’m 6ft and had plenty of room 👍
Mel do you know the biggest All terrain tyres i can fit to my 2008 maxus? Just finished my first build and would like to go the extra bit with the tyres but want to keep the steel wheels.
I’m really sorry I don’t know 🤷♂️
That was good me ol rusty gate ...😁
Thanks Dude 🤙🤓
Mel, interesting video. Did you fill the box frames with insulation? Also to comply with the DVLA I thought you had to have a window in the habitation area?
only if you wish to re-register as a camper van
Looks great. Where are you based? I'm looking for someone to convert mine :)
I’m out of action at the moment sorry 😞
Hi mate how did you attach your tongue and groove timber to the van because I want to do the same but the holes look to big for screws is it nuts n bolts
Hi I used ply wood batons going up the side and then screwed the cladding to that 🤓👍
What are the causes of not acelerat of ldv maxus
No idea 🤷♂️
When all the framework is in and all ther odds and sods can you notice alot of extra weight when driving? thats what concerns me about my maxus, struggles a bit when loaded up 2.5 engine but not very powerful turbo on them
Wayne Read I’ll be honest mine was great didn’t make much difference 👍
I need your advice! You know a lot so maybe you know this :-). Do you happen to know the weight of an ldv camper? I know it'll vary a bit due to contents but a rough guide? Ta
If it’s a maxus it’s max wait would be 2.8 t but I doubt it would be that much really depends on what’s inside and size of water tank n stuff x
@@BigVanSmallWorld Thanks. Not sure of model-the add doesn't say. But when I put the reg into a breakdown recovery site, it says its a convoy lwb tipper? That's a pick up isn't it?
Holistic-Healing UK use my email and send me a link to the add I will run a check on it for you x
You're definitely got giddier since this video was made. Hairier too 😏
Holistic-Healing UK lol thanks 🤓🤙
So what happened to this van?
I'm sure I asked this question somewhere else and you never answered that either! lol
What was the van used for? Looks grim indeed...
it was a moble shot blasting unit I think? but it turned out to be a rock solid van
