Hi bud , just looking into doing my custom. Just a bit confused about top rear side panels ones next to windows. Theres no holes for clips for plywood. Was wondering how do you fix the ply on. Buy brackets or clips?
Great vid 👍 I'm just about to do my Custom , I used kingspan with stickpins and recycled bottle insulation then put an aluminium foil vapour barrier first. Planning on using thin ply with carpet to finish. Hope it works
Ah great thanks god you like the video.. yeah I have seen a few other people do similar with insulation 👍 Sure it will be sound and good luck with the rest of the build 👍
Hiya mate just about to carpet line my ford transit. So you know where you have put the recycles insulation on the side panels and rear door. I see you didn't put ply over those, so did you just stick the carpet straight to the insulation ?? About to start tomorrow, so a response would be brilliant, thank you very much 👍👍
Hi mate.. I carpeted the ply panels separately and then refitted them after so on the back doors I cut out the sections of carpet where I put insulation into the voids I am not sure you seen it but I did a video on the rear doors too? Dont know if this might help answer the question too? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-prqifuaS15A.htmlsi=8gs9sywzgNMY1wBK
@@TransitCustomCamper Cheers, ive had a look now, thank for that. Just one more question, how did u stick the recycled plastic to the metal panel ? thanks again
Ah great - thanks for the comment and checking out the video. Good luck with your carpet lining… can be a bit fiddly in places but I found taking it slow wins the day! All the best 👍
Hey 👍 thanks for the comment and checking out the video! I carpeted the sliding door with 4 way stretch carpet. If you decide to carpet just ensure that you don’t carpet beyond the rubber door seal 👍
Hello how did you finish where the head liner stops and then meets the exposed roof? Been looking can’t seem to find answer any where can you please help?
Hi great work on the van conversion, I'm about to start mine on the same type of van, can I ask you where you got the carpet from and what size did you go for. Kind Regards
Hi Michael - thanks for the kind comment and checking out the videos 👍 I picked up the carpet from a company called Lining Direct - I popped a link below 👇 www.liningdirect.com/product/van-carpet-lining-4-way-stretch/ I went for 2m x 10m but that wasn’t quite enough so I had to get a little bit more i would say 2m x 12m would have been OK. I guess it will depend on if you doing roof liner and also if you do planets separate like I did… Also if you order samples which are free they then give you a 10% discount on the order 👍 Good luck with your build! Let me know how you get on 😃
@@TransitCustomCamper thanks much appreciated. Will let you know.. i'm also thinking about condensation build up inside the van and the best way to get rid of it. Have you experienced any problems. :)
@@michaelfromthedarksideofth1267 yeah that’s a great point on condensation. We have been away only once in the van a few weeks ago and there was a little condensation on the windows.. I am planning a roof fan and then keeping the window open a crack to keep air flow.. I’ll let you know how it goes! Let me know if you find any solutions too 👍
@@TransitCustomCamper will do, thank you for replying, and great job on the footage. I will keep looking to see which is the best solution but i'm sure you will beat me to as your van is complete 😁, let me know if you do. I'm starting mine from scratch, following your footage and hopefully will get the same end result. Kind Regards
I am about to start the same thing on my transit. I was looking at it the other day and was wondering what to do about the rear pillar where the lights are, you have just covered yours in carpet, what happens if you need to get that light out? Just have cut the carpet?
Hey Matt 👍 Thanks for the comment. I did carpet over but then after I fitted some vented covers that went over the holes..These were for access but also there is risk apparently of blocking these causing possible issue with popping out windows as there needs to be air flow and pressure release when you close the doors! I did another video on what I did here with the covers… Install Vented Transit Custom Rear Pillar Access Covers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rCzOupGxsj4.html
@@TransitCustomCamper Thanks for the info. I’ve checked on their website and they do caps for all the access holes with the lower ones vented. Just what I was looking for! Cheers 👍
@@MattyLodge46 - yes that the ones! When I did mine I couldn’t find the lower vents but these would be best for sure as opposed to my slightly custom solution 😂
Hey Jim - If you doing the roof lining and also doing the panels separate like I did then I would say 2m x 12m… I originally got 10m and was a little bit short of what I needed… that might also be as a newbie I wasn’t maybe as efficient with my cuts too 😂
Hey Carpy… I used the original plastic covers that were already in pace and just refit them after I had done the carpet so looks neat enough I rekon 👍 Saved rerouting all the wires 😃
Hi - thanks for the comment and checking out the video 👍 I removed the original plastic clips and when it’s came to refit I used the longer ones that you can get from Harrison Trim supplies to refit the panels after that had carpeted them - I did a video on it here - EP5 | How to carpet line Ply Panels in Transit Custom for Camper Conversion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4jD6kPekPYg.html 👍
@@TransitCustomCamper did you carpet over them and cut them out after or re fit them over the carpet? Sorry for all the questions really want to get the carpet stage done correct 😄.
@@DiddlyDonker - no worries 👍 I took out the panels, carpeted them separately, then carpeted the internals of the van and cut out where the panels would be going back in then put the carpeted panels back in using the longer clips..
Hi mate - I got 24m2 in the end 2m x 12m. It was a little too much and had some spare so might be able to get away with a bit less. I guess depended on if you doing panels separate and roof liner etc… 👍
Hey Ollie! Thanks for the comment and checking out the video… Well there is a story here and a mistake I made was I carpeted over initially and then literally next day rear brake light went 😂 What I did was then cut out the holes for access and then I made some covers out of ply wood which I carpeted and then placed over using Velcro tape 👍 there could be other solutions but this worked well and happy with it - if you want to email me at the channel transitcustomconversion@gmail.com I can send over a picture of what I mean if you like 👍
@@TransitCustomCamper ha…typical! Thanks for the quick reply, most videos are people doing up transporters so this is ideal! Looks great by the way, I’ll have a look through the rest of your videos. I’m not going full camper as I need it for work, but Iv added windows, seats and will carpet and probably leave it at that inside. Great work.
Yeah - what was worse was I thought I had done something more serious on the wiring for lights or got the adhesive on a connection or something.. so glad it was a bulb and lesson learned! Ah great mate… sounds good on the build… good luck with it 👍 cheers for the kind words too on the van.. we really happy with it 👍 let me know when you done as planning a new section in videos called “readers vans” so featuring people’s van conversions on the channel and giving shout outs - so be good to get a day van/work van on there if you like? Thanks again mate 👍
Hi thanks for checking out the video 👍 I picked this up from Amazon link below 👇 Brynnl Trim Removal Tool Set, Car Panel Door Audio Trim Removal Tool Kit Strong POM Pry Tools Kit Auto Panels Trim Removal Tool with Storage Bag (19 PCS) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08LV5JG2B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SCTS7EH94RWQ8AFCRJTZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Yes thanks! That was something I learned also along the way.. I did make the error on the rear barn doors going past the seal and had to sort after 😓 Every day is a school day! Thanks for taking the time to comment and checking out the video 👍
No actually that was the one thing I didn’t do! When we first got the van I didn’t want to mess that bit up 😀 So I got a local firm to supply and fit.. Looking back now I would probably give it a go 👍 A few other videos on RU-vid people have done it DIY
