    Loving this van conversion (also watched you other video with the time lapse). Quick question: do sell/published your plans for the Caddy somewhere? Aka measyments. For beds, tables etc. Had a look on your website, but couldn't find it. I've seen your Amazon links for different products, so that's grand. Just wondering if you you written plans somewhere. If not, defo watching your tinelapse for a step by step if we decide to go with Maxi. Cheers!

      Hi Tom, we don’t have any sort of plans that we have written up, I guess everyone has their own design to work from and desire different layouts so we never did it :), are you looking to do something similar (layout)? Hit us up if you need any info!

    I agree, that kitchen is definitely the highlight of the build. That worktop is fabulous!
    Also I prefer the dual sofa - worktop layout to the traditional rock-and-roll bed popular in VW campers. Means you can longe / nap without turning the entire van into "bed mode"!

    The bed looks a bit narrow to me. We have a Caddy Maxi which has a full width bed. Not sure how it would have worked, but I might have made the kitchen unit the same height as the sofa and had a cover for the sink to allow a wider mattress. Cool build though.

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  5 місяців тому +1

      The bed width is ample enough for this size van, it is a caddy 😂. Not sure how what would have worked? The bed height is pretty much the height of the kitchen but it’s not for sleeping on 😂.

    love the build. I want to do something like that myself.
    This is a 2 seater version right ?
    I would love to take a 4 seater and just take out 1 seat permanently and keep one in (semipermanently) that i can take out, whenever i go full vanlife mode, so i can take more people..
    Is that something you have already thought about ?

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  3 місяці тому

      Thank you! Ah ok is that the caddy maxi life? This van is for sale so not on the cards 😂, I think it would lose too much space in the van too for a seat, depends what your priorities are, if you plan on taking two extra people in your van everyone, it’s unlikely you would all sleep in there?
