Word from fellow self builder...its a labour of love...finished mine after 9 months of only weekend work..now living in it two years sunday to friday due to working as a truck driver..and the biggest problem is finding faults in a good way ie batteries now have 2x lithium 200ah 3x 215w solar panels...keep at it and don't cut corners on price .
@Sidewayssid2023 sorry me again done research...go for renogy 200ah lithium battery i have two there the job ok cost around 700 euros each but worth it.
You will need to put at least 1 window and 1 skylight for air circulation otherwise you will get dreadful condensation i am talking lots and lots of condensation that will make everything mouldy within 12mths
Boatingmanchester...sorry totally disagree with your advice...i left my bulkhead in and installed a roof hatch with no windows reason for that it doesn't look like campervan...if you do your research which i did glass creates condensation...i have lived 5 days aweek for 2yrs and no issues...leaving hatch slightly open during night is enough.
In the B&Q screw section if you go to the section where they have the loose screws you fill up a bag with if you keep tapping the bag down you can get way more than you'd get in screwfix for a lot cheaper
As it was a right state on the mot sheet how much did it cost to get it through ? especially as it looked like the DPF had been messed with that costs £££££
Hi. Great video. But I'm 58 and converting a sainsbury Mercedes sprinter home delivery food van to camper. Well wish I hadn't bothered, vans cost a fortune and I've still got the pile of scrap I started with. My times better spent doing other things like watching paint dry. Don't bother lad, it's like mine, a dead loss. Best wishes David. Norfolk
Remove the screws from the floor, wire brush any rust, hammerite paint then bang some silicone on them to stop and water / rust issues later. Replacement front door should be an easy fix. Interested to see how this develops. Im currently converting an L3 H3 Relay. Just done electrics - itll cost way more than you think. Cables are expensive 😂😂
@@DylanJonesProductions fully recommend watching Greg V "fiat Ducato budget build" electrics series. Got lots of info from him. I've used most the kit he uses - excellent stuff so far. Easy to install. I used breakers rather than fuses for my inline fuses - easy to isolate when needed. Don't skimp on cables, renogy solar stuff has been good for me so far (panels, inverter and MPPT/dcdc charger) . I recommend fogstar batteries. UK made, good blokes.
from the mot it looks like they have smashed out the DPF which is a fortune to replace and also indicates they may have had it mapped to bypass the DPF, I would get it looked at before spending any money fitting it out as a camper as it may be a scrapper as DPF is £1000 plus remap £300 plus all the other work needing doing.
see what your mechanic says. you will get your money back in scrap or parts if you have somewhere to strip it should the verdict be as bad as I assume it may be
@@DylanJonesProductions fingers crossed it might not be as bad as I'm thinking. If you can get it sorted and a genuine mot, even without a conversion you would get your money back. The DPF is the big problem unless your man can find a good used one and that's all that part needs. Fingers crossed for you
Well... you strike me as a funny person. Stand up is an art. There are a lot of comics that are great panelists but weak stand ups. (Lee Mack). The respect i have for people who have the balls to tackle an open mike is the same respect i have for athletes that step into the Octagon. Putting yourself in a perilous situation only you have control over. There's a reason they say "oh, he died on stage" or "theyre dying" its brutal. Congratulations on your bravery and your "slightly hairier than Will Smith's wife's head" bollocks. I couldn't do it. Subscribed.
