DIY Camper Van Conversion | Full Build Timelapse | VW Caddy

- Опубліковано 11 лют 2023
- DIY camper conversion from start to finish. Built on a VW Caddy, this conversion took around 4 months to complete and whilst large enough to fit a full-sized bed, hob, sink and cool box, it's small enough to use as a daily run around and park up easily.

I'll be adding a few more in-depth how-to videos in the coming weeks on the tap/sink, blinds, steam-bent windows and more so stay tuned for those! In the meantime, watch the full tour of this lil VW Caddy here: • VW Caddy Van Conversio...

dude is a carpenter, mechanic, electrician, tailor, and plumber. He can run a whole town by himself
Man after my own heart. Plus fire chief
Yes Jack of all trades but this time Master of all as well. Wonderful conversion.
uummm I think you forgot... video maker
I bet he does brain surgery in his spare time 👍😀
Knows how to film. Knows how to edit. Knows how to inspire.
For a little while I thought ‘yes I can do this’ then you moved into another gear and I was eating your dust. Not a discouraging thing , I just sat back and watched a true master at work.
This is not a camper van conversion this is carpentry ART 😲 👏👏
yes!!!!
I've watched hundreds of van builds, and this is simply the BEST build on the internet. Super talented, multi-master craftsmen, and to top it off, the filming and editing are better than I could ever do. A seasoned broadcast professional with 25 years of experience!
Thanks @MediaEasier, that's very much appreciated!
WOW! That was THE most visually, audibly pleasing van build video I have ever seen! And your craftsmanship and all the little details... Just so deliciously satisfying!!
and THAT dear people, is how it's done.
(the skills + the attention to detail: the way you threaded the electrics through your roof rack, all the routed edges, the little mirror, the adorable sink and faucet and immaculate sewing! Perfection!)
Ah thanks so much Lynne, much appreciated! 😁
Eeeee0l
best comment!!!
Carpenter, engineer, tailor, electrician, designer, - a man after my own heart🎉🎉 love this van build - it is beautiful
Never seen this much detail in a build - great video!
FABULOUS!!! Master craftsman, so much care in everything he’s doing!!! Perfection personified! Well done you!!M
The best UK van conversion I've seen, by far - in fact, one of the best I've seen from anywhere. I loved so many of the little details.
Outstanding work!
Thanks Terry!
Go on any van conversion video..and you will find a version of the us comment 😂😂
Might ask him to build mine haha
not having to hear someone's life story before a video actually starts is FANTASTIC!
(even if the insulation is installed backwards😎🖤)
This is the best carpentry I have seen! I absolutely love your precision and craftsmanship skills! Beautiful work!
Only van conversion I have ever commented on….I loudly echo from Australia all the supportive and congratulatory comments here…the music really helped too it was supportive and soothing which helped me stay if the soundtracks are too much I stop watching often …..I loved how we also witnessed you working through cold glove weather and then shorts and back to sweaters again …echoing your time taken and commitment ….
What a master craftsman you are Sir, gently spoken, humble and breathtakingly skilled…inspiring ..thank you so much XX enjoy the rewards of your labour and vision it is beautiful
Ah thank you very much for the kind words and taking the time to watch it to! Hope all is well on your side of the world!
This is a thing of beauty! Thank you for taking the time to show us through the process so thoroughly and tastefully. There are so many things I'm supposed to be doing right now, but I've been glued to this video.
Absolutely stunning. The attention to detail is second to none.
Incroyable ! The attention to every small détail... the last straw was the window cover with its matching pattern! Bravo!!!
I have seen many videos like this, but this work here is the best I have ever seen, especially the details and taking care of tiny little things is unbelievable.
Thanks InfoConvoy, much appreciated ! :)
I love how you focus on the actual process rather than fast forward through the details to the finished product. Great video!
I would have put a tin layer of plastic between the insulated ceiling and wood, also on the walls between insulation and wood. Great results by the way. Greetings from the Netherlands
Just such great skill here, it’s gorgeous! not everyone has the skill to do this or tools available wonderful job! Who wouldn’t love to live in this ? Totally in awe!
Carpenter, electrician, seamstress/upholsterer, plumber. you make it all look so easy and with fantastic attention to detail. you have a new subscriber sir.
Thanks Philboboggins, much appreciated! ✌️
This is truly inspiring and amazing. Your skill and talent and attention to detail, even sewing, is astonishing. All done with love and care and in a relaxed manner. Breathtaking!
Plus he has great hair!
Multi-craftsman and woodwork-ARTIST! 👌 Golden hands, a vision, a plan, solid tools/machines and material. AND much ❤️ for what he’s doing. Mindblowing result. Little Camper with big personality. LOVE it 😍
What a fantastic conversion. The skills shown throughout this build will inspire me with my own conversions. Thank you
Thanks bulkbrit and have fun with your build!
He made from his passion his job. Amazing work! 👍🎖
So far I have seen quite a number of builds of campers because for several reasons I seriously consider to start to live in a camper myself.
This is the smallest van I have seen so far.
What I like most is that you kept it as simple and practical as possible but with some cute details such as the mirror.
I also like the colors. You kept it light. This makes it more spacious.
Even though this is too small for me I still think this is extremely well done. Double thumbs up.
Oh my goodness! The craftsmanship you demonstrate is exquisite! How ever did you acquire such skills at such an early age! You are a very capable carpenter, engineer, plumber, electrician, designer, upholsterer, tailor, videographer, etc, etc. This is the best van build I've ever watched.
@@mstimpson03301 I think he had great parents
Really grateful for this vid! Just starting a VW transporter conversion and needed to remind myself of the basics. Thank you for explaining from square 1!
This is absolutely amazing! What you've done with such a small space and I loved watching the woodwork too! You're very good indeed!
VERY COOL watching you make the window frame. I have a vintage travel trailer with a birch wood interior and I always wondered how they got those gorgeous curves in the wood. Now I know! First rate conversion and presentation.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! And I love how well thought out you did everything! I am a disabled senior that travels for suicide awareness Since losing my son Jeff in 2016, in my wheelchair modified 2010 dodge grand caravan with my four Chihuahuas. I have a wire cubby in the Hatch area for storage. I also have a platform bed with some storage space underneath. I have kept the smaller section of the backseat as well as the two front seats for when my grandchildren travel with me. The rest of the floor space is taken up by my power chair. I am by no means a minimalist and definitely travel with too much stuff. And I still have more stuff for camping and emergency gear at home for the day I can score a larger rig. Unfortunately, due to the wheelchair modification, I cannot have a rear hitch for a tiny trailer or even a storage box on the back, and being in a wheelchair it is hard to access anything on the roof. But I do have 2 solar panels and a roof box up top for when other people travel with me. My dream vehicle is a short wheelchair Bus conversion with plenty of storage space! Safe Travels n Enjoy YOUR Journey! ❤

This isn't just a van conversion - this is art
Right down to the sewing machine! What an artist. On every level.
Incredible! I don't even know there are so many specialist tools. I really admire your hands-on skills.
Absolutely top banana in every way. A man who knows what he's doing. Brilliant.
A labor of love. The attention to detail and perfect workmanship. Outstanding!
You are certainly a man of many talents. Very impressive style & finish. Well done, and I wish you every success with the van 👍
I've seen A LOT of van conversion ideas...and yours my friend is my favorite! Thank you so much for inspiration 😍 beautiful work!
Absolutely loving and admiring the dedication, incredible craftsmanship, patience and attention to detail. Fantastic video.
A very professional job mate! The video revealed your knowledge in wood technology, design, electricity, plumbing and textile work, besides, it reveals good taste in details! Congratulations mate!👏👏👏
Wow! You do all things well! Everything from scratch. Patient, and effortlessly meticulous. Hats off to you!
Thanks very much Maureen, much appreciated!
Wood & Wild I enjoy quick timelapse videos - you see a job being completed. But, oh how satisfying it is to see you and your handiwork in real time. The loving care as you apply rust inhibitor to a hole drilled in the metal; to see the careful application of adhesive to ensure a perfect assembly of the solar cells to the roof. I have enjoyed it so much. I'm a little past all of that but to see the devotion to detail and the caring use of tools is a spectacular sight. Keep on keeping on, in such a diligent and marvellous manner. Well done.
Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Love the time-lapse video and music, and adore your workmanship!
Thank you very much!
What an incredible amount of precision craftsmanship. Bravo!
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL workmanship.
My goodness, you are so versatile and extremely talented. I'm blown away! Wow!! ☺❤
Such a joy to watch great craftsmanship and pride in your work. Great carpentry!
You are a master craftsman. Such beautiful attention to everything. Love the music. Well done!
Wow what a Fantastic Build! The Detail..unreal! Is there anything you can't do. From sewing to Master Carpentry!
Attention to detail and craftsmanship is next level
Probably the best van build video I’ve ever watched, currently looking to downsize from a sprinter and this video has made my mind up. Congratulations on your build, some people might take it for granted but this is stunning. Hats off to you
It worth to watch every single second on this video. You made an incredible job. Thanks for sharing!
Unbelievable. What an incredible craftsman you are. A true pleasure to watch.
The most interesting and well executed van build video I’ve ever watched, absolutely fantastic, well done
Estou aqui no Brasil e impressionado com o seu trabalho, com sua dedicação. Simplesmente maravilhoso!!!! Parabéns!!! Na realidade estamos impressionados, eu e a esposa.
Amazing, all the woodwork!
I've never seen a woodwork like this. You are a professional electrician, carpenter and mechanic. And of course a tailor. I'm speechless and the only thing i have to say is "Hat's off my man.
Excelente trabalho! Muito profissionalismo e perfeição!
Adorable Van, the color blue is outstanding for a camping vehicle, your designs are cool and useful. Congratulations.
This is just such a comprehensive start to finish conversion with so much attention to detail , it inspires you to think to yourself "wait, I could do that" while watching it.
I couldn't help but think to myself, as you were building out the bed unit, since it's such a small van, what if you were to make it serve double duty by turning it into your main storage cabinet/worktop/etc when it is upright on its side?
Then you could have the left side of the van as a sitting bench, and once you're done doing kitchen/work stuff during the day, drop the thing down 90 degrees for an instant full size double bed.
Absolutely beautiful. Such amazing craftsmanship.
Brilliant workmanship & design!
Beautiful! One of the most appealing conversions I've ever seen for such a small car.
真的，這實在是太強了，除了木工設計及施工做的那麼好之外，連針缐活都做的這麼精緻，實在太佩服了，我從你的分享中學到很多，也希望能做到像你做的那麼好，看來只能盡力而為了，我來自台北，謝謝你的分享
Wonderful craftsmanship. The three standout moments for me were firstly, cutting out the panel for the windiw; secondly forging a channel in the roofrsck for the solar electrics; and thirdly, steaming and forming the curved frames. And if that wasnt enough...you took out a sewing machine to make tricky upholstery covers and window shields! You have a great pair of hands coupled with mathematical precision and a creative eye. Is the soundtrack yours also? If so...I can't deal 😅😅
I was so impressed with the sewing!
Really nice looking lining. Brightens the whole interior
Is there anything this man cannot do 👏👏
You know when you love what you’re doing, see the results🎉
I love to see this build. I am refitting a Standfast 41 and I learn a lot of how you aproach things. Keep up your fantastic work
I'll probably never build a van myself for lots of reasons but I loved watching your video just because of your skills and creativity
…wow… just wow! Great use of materials, great use of space!
wow what a wonderful job! I don’t think there anything you can’t do. Your skill is everywhere in this van. Thank you for sharing
This is not simply a van. It’s a work of art.
It's always amazing to see this type of craftmanship!
In a word; INCREDIBLE! Great build!!
yes!!!
That's a great build. You do excellent workmanship. Very impressed.
I love your DIY Camper Van Conversion and thank you very much!!! From Tibet 😍❤👍
19min in and i have to say this is one of the best Build videos I have seen the layout is fantastic. going copy in my caddy Maxie van rebuild thanks
Thanks tin tent UK and have fun on the build!
You are a master of carpentry and every thing else very clever man
you can clearly see years of experience in handcraftsmanship and thus skill not achievable for an average person. And the thing that cannot be seen in the video - huge effort. It looks so easy-pizzy, but those were hundreds of hours of work to get it done so nicely. Absolutely stunning. Congrats
One word ,,,,, Amazing. another word Inspired... Well done that man i am in awe of your talents and what you have created. Hats off fella 👍
This was so satisfying to watch. Start to finish without doing something else at the same time. What a brilliant craftsman and a fantastic van!
