(The van conversion starts at 3:10 if you want to skip the intro)
Hello, my name is Stephen Taylor. I am a joiner, a music producer and a poet from Birkenhead, England.
I absolutely love Scotland and visit as much as I can. This year, along with starting a record label back home, I have decided to take my joinery work on the road and travel to wild and remote places in Scotland.
In this video I travel to Inverness, the capital of the highlands, and after a chance meeting with Liam, a local B&B owner, I get a job converting his Ford Transit Minibus into a campervan.
Inverness is certainly not the wildest and remotest place by any means, but it's a starting point, and a very interesting city.
There are a few things that I would like to mention about this video:
- The insulation was put in place after the wooden lats were fitted. this was because we were waiting for the sound deadening sheets to arrive. Deliveries in the Highlands can be pretty slow. It is much easier to install the insulation before fitting any of the wood to the van walls / ceiling.
- I didn't do any of the electrics or plumbing. The wires were put in place before my arrival and I made sure that access was available throughout the van so that the project could be easily completed.
- I had a very limited amount of time available to put this video together so I decided not to go into too much detail about the technical aspects of the project. Instead I decided to show a quick overview of the work that was involved, and I hope that by watching this video you find a little bit of information about something you haven't thought of before.
There are so many possibilities when creating a campervan and everyone has different things that are essential to them. The great thing about this project was that I got to work directly with Liam, the van owner, at his house. Every detail was thoroughly discussed and all of the work was custom made to exactly how he wanted it.
Thanks for watching.

You have some skills ❤️ Great job on your house too btw, what a beauty and so happy you saved her from almost certain demolition. Just in the nick of time by the looks of it. And I have to say, I do love your music selection. It makes for such a peaceful watch. Please share some of your writings and poetry on the journey too, I'm sure there will be some stunning scenery where it may be possible to add it to the end ??. Happy travels with your adventures ahead 🙂✌️🇭🇲

Brilliant conversion and very nicely done. I came here after browsing your website and seeing you like remote Scotland. I used to have a campervan myself and spent three amazing weeks touring the Outer Hebrides in 2006. There are some cracking spots to wildcamp but I think they've cracked down on it a bit now, eg when I was there I parked up overlooking the beach at Barra airport watching the planes land on the "runway"! I think they've stopped parking there now. On the return route I also spent three days on Tiree. Another obscure island I visited is the uninhabited Isle of Staffa, more commonly known as Fingals Cave which inspired Mendelssohn to compose the Hebridean Overture. When you listen to it you can "feel the sea" crashing around and then calming down again.

@Bulletguy07 thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it. I recently spent a weekend on Barra and I found the airport! There are a few spots to park but not overnight (by the airport anyway). The Outer Hebrides is a great for exploring, I have just travelled from Barra up to the top of Lewis. I have been wanting to visit Fingals cave for years, hopefully one day! Cheers 🙂☀️

bonnie views up there by Inverness, i worked further up than Inverness years ago and i had to tow my Caravan all the way up the A9, nip into to Inverness for the 2nd full tank of diesel, and take the Brora exit on the dual carriageway, and go 60 miles past Brora, all late on a Friday afternoon/evening, but the views from my caravan site @ Dunbeath were worth it right close to the sea ,and the pub in dunbeath used to serve @ decent "after hours pint" just what was needed on a friday night prior to a Saturday shift :)

I said .. i know a road named that in Birkenhead.. he said thats it... he has recently done up a small house on one of the bays near us,over and number of years and so is so interested in your work... By the way.. I was born in Birkenhead... my family emigrated to NZ years ago but i often view youtubes fro Birkenhead (and the Beatles) , if you love rugged country you must visit NZ. fabulous work!

Epic build mate. I'm looking to buy the older version of this 17 seater, to convert into a camper van. I got my license after 97, I understand that means I can only drive a vehicle upto 3500kg. Once its stripped of seats etc, the weight will be reduced. But after my install, the weight could exceed 3500kg. There's obviously no way of knowing this until the conversion is complete and I have it weighed. Do you have any info on this matter? Does this mean I would need a C1 license.....
