HOW TO | Don’t let your Camper Shower LEAK | CAMPERVAN EDITION
Welcome back guys, in todays video we focus on the shower and what needs to happen to ensure it doesn't leak. It's something I don't see being done enough by van builders and is an absolute must. I also get to work on the garage space and install the last of the furniture. Thanks for all the comments and support, I really appreciate you 👊🏻

Fantastic conversion but is an oven really required in such a small van ?? Not really having all the family round for Sunday lunch !! Air Fryer/Clever Chef/Slow Cooker plus outdoor BBQ will be enough for camper van IMO !! Just an opinion your build is FAB !!!!

@VanologyConversions 11 месяцев назад

Hi David, if it were my van I would have just gone with an air fryer and bbq but got to cater for the wider audience. Better to have it and not need it 👍🏻

@@VanologyConversions this is the difference between doing a bespoke or doing what YOU like or think is a good idea ... I would go with airfryer and a portable gas ring for a ridge monkey - but hey, you can't please all people all the time ...

We have a van conversion with no oven and if i bought another i would want a oven.

Every time I watch a video of a van conversion I end up frustrated at the approach and work quality, that was until now: you are building a real quality conversion, not cutting any corners, fabulous workmanship. We have owned A class motorhomes from big name manufactures for 30+ years and your quality of finish, plus what is hidden, is as good as any. If we were shopping for a PVC I’d be knocking on your door. Thank you for showing how it can be done.
