This is my 2014 L2H3 self-built Vauxhall Movano camper van.
The whole build took around 12 months alongside full time work and came in at less than £5k. I've been travelling full-time in it for more than 6 months now and I'm really, really pleased with everything

Yes, it's a van conversion but what you're are actually watching is a person's dream, becoming a reality! I was literally gripped for 22 mins - great video.

@Psoewish Год назад

That whole conversion is incredible, but I’m particularly in love with that beautiful wood stain.

@vanvistas Год назад

Stain makes all the difference visually ✨ Most of the wood is reclaimed from cheap tables on Facebook Marketplace

You need to urgently sleeve the solar panel cables where they go through the roof. They will chafe and cause a major short.

Big whoop 💩

@AdmiralStoicRum Год назад

Yeah, the hole needs to be deburred too. It will help the lifespan of the electrical.

@vanvistas Год назад

They’ve been fine so far and it’s been more than a year. The roof is made of fibreglass and not metal, so I don’t think it’s even sharpe enough to chafe the cables 🙃 would probably have done it in hindsight but I seem to have gotten away with it

You deserve credit to doing it in the garden without a workshop. Very nice result.

Haha thank you! It was definitely a game changer when I realised half way through that my local B&Q do 15 free cuts when you buy your wood there 😅 so after some clever measuring up, the kitchen came together pretty quickly

I have never done anything like this but I am a home renovator and an automotive restorer. I am very particular and really wonder how cool I could do something like this. I really like things looking like they were at a high level of build or a very fine factory finish. You guys did a very nice job at this and have some great ideas.

Definitely inspired to go for it and finally get to buying & converting a van as I've wanted to do for the longest time, but been so nervous without having the workshop or appropriate space to do so. But seeing someone take what they've got available to them and just getting into it is truly inspiring. LOVE it!!

Not because is a girl but by far the more complex video step by step ive seen so far.. Seen over 100h of tutorials and tips to renovate my 1987 caravan and they all either lose 30mins in the simpliest detail and make it a 100h series or is 10min video where from minute 05:00 to 05:10 it goes from having nothing to have the insulation process done 🤣. Thank you for the good video! Clarified some of my questions since in google once says dont do this and right away next video says you should be doing this.. 😅

@Paul-su3qh Год назад

This video was very interesting to watch, everything crafted by hand to a high standard. However, I would like to know if there was a manual giving instructions especially about the electrical set up And how to power the batteries as I am sure that not everyone who attempts to do similar van adaptions is going to be aware of how to put it all together so that everything works safely. Perhaps you can suggest how you learned to do some of these specialist technical details. Great video though.

Thanks so much! I don’t know the exact weight and I would be interested to weigh it at some point, but we have friends who have weighed there’s and been just under and I know ours is much lighter. Another positive of the extra high top and the roof being fibreglass is the extra payload

@brunogiffard6357 2 года назад

I don't know if you did, but I think you have to protect (with grommets) your solar electrical wires that pass through the roof.

@vanvistas 2 года назад

I used a cable housing box on the roof, which does the same thing and has grommets built in, but more waterproof in theory. It does appear in the video, but possibly very quickly 😅
