Nice video guys of your lovely T5. Looks great and I’m sure you’ll create lots of fab memories in it. We also looked at a T5 this Friday. I think we are getting dizzy with the amount we have seen to late. Rod & Julie.

Nice van . Surprised how much we get in Glo with a bit of thought. How does the portable shower work? We have tried a few options but none successful yet
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
It’s definitely about careful planning 😁 so we’ve got a pop up shower tent from Decathlon and we used to have a solar shower but we’ve recently bought a pressure pump camping shower and a square paddling pool which we put up inside the van for a nice warm shower inside 😁
@arturjot3717
@arturjot3717 5 лет назад
Incredible amount of work put in. And the result is stunning! One question, why for such complex restructure you didn't take the route of L4H3 van (Ducato for instance)? I'm in progress of minimal conversion of C8 camper (already got the pop-up roof, sink and "kitchen" from the factory). Just need to add toilet, fridge, and some solar installation. But it will be just for couple warm months a year, otherwise I'd rather go full-size.. Just my thought.
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
Artur Jot thank you very much 😁 at the time of converting it, we couldn’t fit a bigger van on our driveway and we wanted something that would fit in a conventional carpark too 😊 otherwise we’d have definitely gone for a Sprinter or Crafter!
@arturjot3717
@arturjot3717 5 лет назад
@@AdventuresofSarahJames Point taken. C8 is also convenient for parking in underground garage. Once again, kudos for overall work quality! Would you mind sharing the costs/amount of hours put into the project?
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
Artur Jot we’ve definitely packed a lot into a small space 😊 we spent around £5000 on the conversion which included having someone fit the diesel heater for us. We did it all over weekends and evenings as we were working, we guessed at just over 200 hours of work over 23 days in total 😊

Hi guys good to see another video, a few things my Nomad Ranger has that saves space inside and saves cash on gas (also a lwb T5.1) an underslung waste water tank, a low level fresh waster tank (I think 30-40 litre) low at the bottom of the rear wardrobe behind the rear wheel arch, and an underslung gasit refillable lpg tank, which cost about £8 or £9 to fill from empty at auto gas pumps no bottle changes needed and no space taken up inside it has a level led to give an idea how much is left and even using the propex gas heater a lot and cooking and cuppas (similar to yours just not diesel) lasts for ages, which type of changer and power control unit is fitted in your van? I need a new leisure battery (110ah) and want to switch to an AGM type like yours and maybe add a second one
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
Darren Jones hey, thanks for watching 😁 we did debate going down the LPG route but decided we didn’t want an extra gas bottle knocking around (we already had a full Calor gas bottle from our previous van). Our water tank is underslung m, it’s about 48l and has been so much better than carrying smaller bottles inside the van, it’s also allowed us to free up cupboard space 😁 our control unit was just off eBay, was around £50. It’s only basic but does the job 😊 we definitely noticed a difference adding a second battery and the solar panel on top, it allowed us to not worry as much about how much power we had left!
@darrenjones3681
@darrenjones3681 5 лет назад
The Adventures of Sarah & James is your van stop start? I’m keen to know what type of split charger system your running, oh by the way love the new member of the crew, my gas lpg tank is mounted under the van in front of the spare wheel, and what size solar panel are you using?
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
Darren Jones no it’s not stop start, finding a long wheel base with air conditioning was hard enough so we had to settle for a basic panel van for our budget. Our underslug water tank goes down on side of the underneath of the van so I don’t think we’d have been able to fit an LPG tank? Our solar panel is 150w 😊 the split charger is one from Simply Split Charge. The new member of the crew likes to think he’s captain (and sadly that’s true for the most part 😂).

Can I ask roughly how much it cost you to convert the van. I know you guys done a lot of the work yourself but I mean for things like the pop top, the units etc. Basically just everything except the van itself haha. Also could it have cost less if you didn't get thr custom leather etc. Thanks 😋
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
Stevey Weavey of course, so the initial van conversion cost us £5k in total, which included paying someone £1k to supply and fit the diesel heater for us. The custom embroidery didn’t cost us any extra over having them upholstered without the design. I can’t remember off the top of my head the exact cost for the units but if you visit Evo Motion Design’s website they have all their prices for the various kits they offer. We then fitted the poptop at a later date which cost around £4k. This was with extras such as the scenic canvas, the bed board, memory foam mattress, front slider to hide the poptop in the cab and the solar panel and control box 😊 it can definitely be done for less money by opting for cheaper components etc. Hope this helps 😊

@@AdventuresofSarahJames Hi Guys. Thanks for the reply! I do really love the interior of your van so I guess minus the roof it's definately worth it. I've really taken to the idea of trying this for myself and I'm just trying to gage whether it's cheaper to buy one already converted or be a little bit more adventurous and try convert one myself.
@AdventuresofSarahJames
@AdventuresofSarahJames 5 лет назад
Stevey Weavey thank you very much 😊 (ours is actually up for sale at the moment if you’re interested 😉) it’s definitely rewarding converting one yourself and with a bit of research and patience is doable. We had no experience prior to converting our van and just learnt as we went along 😊
