      Thank you! Sorry for the late reply… initially Matt thought an upright wardrobe was an unnecessary luxury however I convinced him and it become one of the best parts of our build. It meant we could hang some of our nicer clothes without them getting creased and there’s was bountiful storage underneath. Highly recommend ☺️

    • @barneynscrog
      @barneynscrog  Рік тому

      Thanks for your support on the video :) We got a lot of our ideas from various van life pages on facebook including 'Van Life Australia'. We watched some youtube videos too but mainly flicked through lots of interior photos of van builds to seek our inspiration and brainstormed ideas to create a van that suited our needs

  • @guhuazhou7770

    Love your camper van very much, I also want to convert one myself, because I like to travel, but I don't have a production license, can I do it myself? Will the police or RTA trouble me? If you know, can you tell me? Thanks!

    • @barneynscrog
      @barneynscrog  Рік тому

      Thanks for your support on the video :) Totally can do it yourself just have to make sure you don't exceed your vehicle's gross weight limit and meet your registration guidelines. For example we brought our van as a 12 seat bus and converted into a 2 seat Campervan. This meant we had to get two modification plate checks along the way. The first one was when we removed all the rear seats, so we changed the registration from 12 seats to 2 seats. Then after we completed our build in order to enable the van to be insured at market value we changed the registration from a 2 seat bus to a 2 seat Campervan; this was our second modification plate which also required inspection by QLD transport. There are a few requirements that you have to meet to be registered as a Campervan including having a fire extinguisher, the amount of seats equals the amount of sleeping space, having a 'kitchen' and everything being safely secured. The rules might differ per state and I can't recall all the guidelines you have to meet but hopefully this will give you an idea of a place to start your research. All the best, it's such a great way to travel and a rewarding experience to build it yourself

      Hey sorry for the late reply, hopefully you’ve found a solution. For us we picked up second hand rhino racks from a salvage yard and they happened to fit, I’m not sure of the exact specifications of the rhino racks though sorry

    Hey, we have the same van and are getting heaps of ideas from your video! Where did you get the heshen sack material you used to cover the gaps / weird areas?

    • @barneynscrog
      @barneynscrog  2 місяці тому

      So excited for your building you van. Sorry for the late reply. We got the hessian material from Bunnings in the rope aisle. It was great for covering the small gaps where different surfaces met and tied the van together. I’ll add a link so you can see the product, I believe this is the one we got: www.bunnings.com.au/grunt-50mm-x-25m-jute-webbing_p4310865
