Ian, we love a good coincidence. I know the van has been sold since we filmed it, and I'm not sure where it ended up going, and seeing it's quite unique, it must be the same one. Thanks for watching.
The paintwork is certainly different and feels really nice. We hope to meet up at a later date so hopefully we will film it again when it has been lifted. Thanks for watching.
Thankyou. It is a great van and he still has more plans for it. Hopefully we will film it when it has been lifted. He is hoping to come to our camp next month in Derbyshire. All are welcome, it's the same weekend as quirky, but if you are free let us know.
Campervan Tales people's vans do seam to evolve over time, would be good to see it when it's lifted. Thank you very much for the invite, it's very kind of you, we would have loved to come but unfortunately we can't make it. I have seen your event "pirates at the tan" meet up and would really love to try and make it to that ... take care Jane 🙂

Hi geri Follow #ProjectOverlander on Facebook or the off grid nomad on Instagram for updates on the van. Snorkel now fitted The sunvisor is from Ebay you can by for most Van's mine cost £112 delivered
It is a lovely colour and blends in very well when he parks up on a stealth camp. Not only is the colour nice but the paint is very tactile. Thanks for watching.
Hope that Daryl didnt see you 'falling' for that bloke Keith 😂 . Crackin van. Some good ideas. Ill share this video on my mates messenger page. You will see a glimpse of Andys van on my next video . Catch you both soon xx
Thanks. We regularly get three or four thumbs down on our videos. It is a nice van, the texture of the paintwork was great. We have a very different internal build coming up soon.
Hi there, love the van, you said 2" lifting kit for the van , my van is 2006 like yours and i have looked every where to find these with no fun , any chance you could let me know where. many thanks , cheers Mick. TAKE CARE and STAY WELL.
Hi guys .ive just bough an ambo like youres and thinking about taxing it.dvla have it as a panel van although i have windows? They say swap to private light goods for tax......does this seem right to you guys???? Thanks a lot for youre help...simon
Hi Simon. Yep that's right. Ours was tax exempt as it was an ambulance on the V5 so we had to fill in a form to register as plg. It was also class 7 for MOT but once registered as a motor caravan dropped down to a class 4
I must say that your ‘TRANSIT’ looks different to those being sold now in USA, what year is your?, looking good , I also do like the colour., stay well, & Cheers from NJ. USA.
Sorry ...one last question...when ive taxed it plg what do i insure it as? Minibus or panel van dvla have it as panel van but ive window?? Many thanks for youre help folks.im a bit flustered😁😊😎😃
Don't worry. Are you going to start converting it right away? If so then you can find campervan insurers who will give you time to convert it from a van to a camper. I would insure it as a panel van as minibus insurance is very expensive. Especially as DVLA has it listed as a panel van.
To be honest he didn't say so I'm not sure. It was good though and felt nice too. Its Raptor paint and from a quick search it seems like it is rolled on.
Yep it was up at Mam Tor. We met up with some others on Saturday night. There are another couple of van tours coming up from then. One is very different inside
Nice vid mate got the same van on a 54 plate that I'm stripping as didn't like the layout inside can you please tell me where you got your roof rack from many thanks 👍
Hi Jason. I'm sorry we don't know, but he sometimes pops in and comments if there have been questions about his van so he might answer. Thanks for watching.
Hello, I just found this, so have made a YT FILE , couple of questions low as though,,you did the conversion, wha about insulation, and your water tanks love the colour, sort of looks like UKMILITAY, seeing the ‘snorkel ‘means it’s diesel,,engine size,,manual ? I found the reason the drivers seat does NOT SWIVEL, is because where the park brake is, tell me are the FORD THAMES TRANSIT , still being made ?I know them, only because I came from an ex colony, Good luck, and CHEERS from NJ, USA
Hi I haven't done any files on building my camper sorry. It's full kingspan insulation and recycled plastic wool insulated . This is a 2006 mk6 transit they dont make any more now on mk8 transits in UK. Swivel seats work on this van I have a double seat swivel base. I didn't need drivers seat to swivel due to lay out.
Hiya Jeff. It's not our van sorry. It is just one that we looked around. To be honest we were considering using Raptor on ours but when we did research on it we heard so many horror stories that we gave up on the idea. Sorry we cant be of more help.
@@Jeffbeasly11 quite a few people we spoke to said that within a few months the paint had begun to peel away, especially in hot weather. As soon as one bit started to peel rain would get in to where it peeled and get under the raptor and pull more away. We heard the same thing from 5 different people. I know the same had started to happen on the van in this video too. It is a shame as we do like the finish
Hello really sorry to bother you can you tell me please how big the cupboards are where you have your toilet and wardrobe because I have a Ford transit jumbo too and I am in the process of making campervan not like that the same layout with you really appreciate it if you could tell me thank you so much for your help in advance.
They ve sent men to the moon so anything else is quite simple. Yes, 6speed is possible, but you have to use the shifting gate of your serial 5speed gear box. Next: the 6speed has no speed indicator, all driven by can bus since 2006. I took out the original detector ring and mounted it outside on the right hand drive shaft - including sensor. Works since 2 yrs
Same van as mine, could you send me a link to where you got the double seat swivel from. Know there are a few on Ebay but not sure of the fit, so a recommendation would be invaluable.
It's more against scratching it's a tough paint used on 4x4 trucks originally designed for truck beds to stop scratching when putting stuff in the pack of pickups
Where are you based? Ours is N1, we still need to change ours. That's for the speed limit you can go at. I can ask around about mechanics for you. Have you joined ambulance campers on Facebook? They might have suggestions too
