PLY LINING and 4-WAY STRETCH CARPETING a campervan LIKE A PRO - DIY Budget Campervan Conversion
Вставка

- We're at the ply lining and 4-way stretch carpeting stage of our campervan build. As always, in this video we'll show you how we personally decided to tackle this part of our DIY budget campervan conversion, offering our unique perspective. We'll provide tips and tricks on getting a great finish with no prior experience and give the reasoning behind our decision making. Carpet on the van walls is definitely a (relatively) cheap, cheerful and easy solution for achieving an awesome looking finish!
Below are some of the links* for bits and bobs we have used in this video.

So WHO are WE? We’re Scarlett, Craig and Merlin and along with Helsing, form the PILGRIM PODS!
If you enjoy this video why not check out some of our other content? Delve even deeper into our channel; we thought we’d create a series of vlogs chronicling the conversion of our old panel van HELSING (did you see what we did there?) into a weekend warrioring campervan for ADVENTURING and EXPLORING in the UK.
Each vlog will cover a stage or smaller element of our campervan build, showing our ideas put into action and highlighting our SUCCESSES and FAILURES along the way. With no previous experience this may make for an interesting journey! Our plan is to convert a cheap van on a small budget without cutting corners and at the end, have a campervan to be proud of. We’re hoping you’d like to join us for this journey and that you find our uploads ENTERTAINING and even, INFORMATIVE!

You should definitely take your cat for a cruise. :) really helpful mate. Good work.

Finding your videos very interesting and useful in the build of our own van JENIDOREM, thank you 😉
What a great name! Glad someone's finding something useful in our videos. All the best with your own build guys. 🙂🍻
@@PilgrimPods The van name is in memory of Joannes mum and dad and is made up from the letters in their names Jim and Doreen 😊
@@howardandjoanne8979 what a lovely tribute. Great looking van by the way, we almost bought the same sized van about three years ago but the advert was too good to be true.
@@PilgrimPods Thanks 😊 . We also follow you guys through our @jenidorem page on Instagram 😀
@@howardandjoanne8979 was just taking a closer look at yours! 😁🙌
Amazing van build

Yep, slowly getting there and should be ready for the autumn. 🙂👍

Love your videos Craig, my relay is the older shape, still working on it for m.o.t, but when it's done, I will be using your ideas.
Thanks Francis and good luck with that MOT! 🙂
Nice job👍
Thank you! Cheers! 🙂🍻
It’s looking good
Thanks Kevin. 🙂👍
Great job x
Thanks guys! 🙂🍻
loving your videos, just in the process of planning my van and you help with what and how i do this as on a very tight budget. how much carpet have you used as planning to use this. look forward to more videos specially the electrics as very nervous about this part. oh and briliant paint job.
Bought two rolls in the end and have most of the second left over. Link for where we purchased it from down in the description if you're interested.
Here's an idea, if the fridge gets hot, why not put two fans and ducts one to external (For summer) and the second to vent it into the van for a heat source? switch between the two fans, could even use a thermostat in the van to automatically change over when the van is up to temp.
Hey Malcolm, thanks for taking the time to share this advice. You've definitely given me something to think about! If I do it I'll certainly credit you with the idea!
You've really inspired me to do my own build, I'm not gonna go as fancy as you so gonna go for a stealth camper approach
Hey Larry, glad you found the video of use. I have to say if I built another campervan solely for UK use I'd seriously consider a stealth build too. 🙂👍
looking good
Thanks Mr DUP! 😀🙌
Legend!!
😄🙌🍻
I agree really coming together. Really well thought out. Can I ask who supplied the auto carpet ?
There's a link down in the video description. At the time they were the best value for money in our opinion. We've since purchased more from them to finish off the inner doors. 🙂
Great video as always Craig!
What router is that you’re using and is it worth getting one?
(looking for an excuse/reason to get one myself :)
Thanks Arno, sorry for the slow reply mate. I've bought the cheapish Bosch one as I like the brand and it has good reviews for DIYers. Just chucked a link in the description for the exact model. I purchased it because I thought it would come in useful for the cabinetry and there's been times working on the house in the past one would have came in really useful and I've just bodged a workaround (like on the batten at the head of the bed in this video). All the best mate. 🙂🍻
Hi, How did you cover the sliding side doors inside rail? Finding it hard to think of a way to cover it up .
getting there
Slowly mate. 🙂🍻
Do you really want a radiant heat source under your bed mattress? In summer your van will be hot enough at night without your fridge heating up your bed, not to mention fire risk! Should raise the fridge off the floor by at least 20mm as well to let the cool fresher air in and exhaust out via the holes at the top (convection)!!
Hey Glen, ideally the fridge wouldn't be under the bed but we felt it was a compromise we had to make for our needs. The heat generated will be monitored and if need be a sheet of insulation will be placed above the fridge. If there was still any concern I'll install a couple of PC fans to move the air and aid efficiency of the fridge; it won't be a fire risk. The fridge doesn't need a 20mm gap beneath it and was installed following the manufacturer's instructions. Thanks for checking the video out mate. 🙂🍻
How much is your camper insurance please.
Cost £199 fully comp for a 2007 van. Think that's with 8 years no claims and parked on a drive. Of course there's so many variables to consider as I'm sure you're aware; the postcode being an example! 😄
You are an inspiration, keep up the great work :)
Cheers from @TinyHousesAustralia down under...
Thanks so much! 😊🍻
