Thank you for the great idea of using a tablecloth, so simple! Making curtains and seat covers for a converted transit van and am on my second tablecloth so far. I think it will be a lot cheaper than fabric. x
Hi Joel I used the same idea with the eyelets and wire works well. Here's a tip for condensation I found put cat litter in a sock and stitch or zip tie the top then put between the window and curtains, seemed to work for me
Great video and those curtains looks awesome! I've got a Doblo camper and it has black out film on the windows but I want curtains as well not just for additional privacy but also because without curtains it still feels a bit too much like sleeping in a car so curtains will hopefully give it a more camper van type feeling. Thanks for the tips, will come in handy. All the best, Dan
I decided to subscribe only for the fact that you're so polite and calm And humble and very smart I think that you did a real good job simple and easy I just like your attitude hopefully you get more than a thousand subscribers good luck
I'm in the process of this with my vauxhall zafira. I didn't think about the curtain wire also at the bottom I only was going to only put it at the top great help cheers.
Thinking strong magnets glued (material glue) onto a thick material would be the go, get a good seal to prevent condensation...Get thick material next to nothing at junk shops, glue magnet then glue a piece of material over the magnet to make it look ok ( or fold and glue an edge trim over the magnets).No holes better seal and curtain would fit snug in the recess, curtain would open easy or be removed fully..
Best curtain idea, I've seen quite a few video's and this seem likes the best idea for windows that arent flat too as if the bottom goes outwards such as a wagon it will simply follow it - better than alot of Velcro solutions!
I hope that van wall is insulated then ply lined first? I wouldn't use table cloth. That wall carpet you have there is also available in black from Amazon and would make much thicker curtains for your windows making it warmer for you. I have blinds at the moment but intend to replace with curtains. As I don't have a sewing machine I will use hemming strip which one simply irons in.
Just found your channel today and have watched a few this morning, I am looking at getting a plain panel van and doing something similar to you but have to insulate and ply line / carpet first. I have subscribed and look forward to future videos
Quey Namaste Good luck with it! Mine already had the insulation done when I bought it so I cheated I guess. My advice would be to think about what you really need, and be as minimalist as you can. I’ve gotten by just fine without a fridge or fancy sink/hob unit etc
hi, i know this is old but can you remember what size bigger hoops you got? currently doing this to mine and like yours, i think i need larger hoops to install into the van. the ones that came with my curtain rail seem a bit too small.
I think using black out curtains would be more effective. You want the curtains to look professional neat, and not tacky. If you have a new campervan you don't want to drill ugly holes all over the place.
What a fantastic build! I'm thinking of doing the same with a berlingo. Did you insulate the roof at all? I'm struggling to see how you'd take off the roof liner without ruining it.
Yes it’s insulated. It has polyester dacron behind wooden boards, and carpet stuck over it all. The previous owner removed the old roof liner so I couldn’t say 🤷♂️. Good luck!
@@meyer2911 I ended up just removing the roof liner as it was like carpeted cardboard and just bent and creased when I tried to do it nicely. Lined the roof with foil bubble wrap and a 5mm layer of closed cell foam off eBay (using flooring glue spray) and then carpeted over it👍
