Vauxhall Vivaro Campervan Conversion Tour 

I have asked Leigh who owns the van to let you know. Bear with us

They have made a nice neat job of it

Thanks David. Hope you are both having a good weekend.

One of the better discoveries from Roswell😉

Well thought out. Hope you are both well.

It is Alex. It works perfectly for both of them. They have added a solar panel now as well. Hope you are both keeping well after the Covid issue.

Just been saying to Keith we could do with window bungs for our bed windows. Would be a lot better than what we have got.

Bungs are the future 😉

@@ProjectVanLifeUK we are going to ask you if you could make a couple for us for our side windows where the bed is please

@@CampervanTales will have a chat - should be able to get the pre-cut ply easy enough and they're a doddle to cover!

@@ProjectVanLifeUK thanks Leigh

We always say that people start with the same shape, it is what they can do with it that never fails to amaze and inspire😀👍

It is a well thought out layout isn't it? Thanks for commenting Michael.

That tap is an amazing, inexpensive bit of kit. Our friend Pippa from Worms Eye View has now bought one for her van. Hope you are having a good weekend Sue. xx

Thanks Darren. No injuries for Keith. Two injuries on other teams. One concussion, one broken ankle. It is a well planned out van build isn't it. Leigh and Tracey are well pleased with it.😀

The couple who own it are ok too😁

Ideas a plenty in this can Pip for you.

Thanks Micky for your concern. It did get a little overwhelming at 40°C and the dogs struggled, especially Nab. We wouldn't have liked to have been away in our van at the time. We are used to seeing wildfires on the news in the US and Europe but it was a shock to see them over here and houses destroyed too. It is a lovely van build and well thought out. I'm direct will give people some ideas for their own builds. Have a good weekend. We promise, more countryside soon.

@@CampervanTales I was unaware of fires in England. Sad. Hope folk are okay? Looking forward to more videos of your loverly countryside, along with the occasional ice cream stop! ;) Cheers!

@@mickylawless1941 luckily nobody hurt but 19 homes destroyed in a village called Wennington and then some more around the country too. Yes ice cream and coffee stops were the order of the day, although coffee turned in to tea as we find hot tea lunch more refreshing in hot weather.☕

@@CampervanTales Tragic! I am glad no one has suffered injury or worse. Stay safe, stay cool and I look forward to watching your next adventure! Cheers!

Good to hear from you. Hope you are keeping well over there. We have been up gradients that steep, without any issue. What engine do you have? Ours is a 2.5 litre.

@@CampervanTales Yes, all Good guys, thanks. My van has a 1.9 diesel in it, 103000 on the clock, and is 29 years old. I've been up 25 deg gradients before but it's slow going, about 23mph if I remember correctly, it doesn't feel good if they go on forever.

@@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN good to hear you are well. Our van has just gone over 200,000 miles

@@CampervanTales That's the good thing about diesel engines, they can keep going for a very long time. It's great you got yours fixed, I'm sure you all missed getting away in it!

Asking for a friend ,Tracey :o) xx

We do have one, it's a collapsible one that we set up at night and use wood based cat litter in a thick "commode" liner. Once it's packed down it just becomes a rubbish bag ready for disposal in a general waste bin. Serves us very well but we always check for local toilet locations when we park up all the same 😉

Leigh is doing my work for me Vicky😁

@@CampervanTales 😀

@@ProjectVanLifeUK :o) Just subscribed,

We have a long wheel based Renault Master and it is perfect height for us. Reclassified as a campervan.

@@CampervanTales What does that have to do with my comment about the Vivaro?

@@allanb52 no need to be rude

@@CampervanTales Rude, in what way, I said it was not for me? I am 6 foot so the bed doesn't fit. The DVLA spec is a 6 foot bed.

I'm not sure where he got it from. It isn't our van.

Hi we used a Contour gauge to get the round corners for our bungs. But only measured the width and height if the window in the middle - mistake! The window tapers so you need to measure the window width at top AND bottom then use the contour gauge for the corners Hope this helps

No idea to be honest. Each manufacturer has their own interpretation I guess
