of all the vids of these i've seen, you are literally the only one thats actually shown that you treated the rust properly..it set my ocd off when i see a vid and i don't know if they've fixed the rust or just covered.. it also gets my ocd off when they drill into metal to mouint stuff, but don't treat the bare metal they've caused in the process...

I'm shortly buying a VW Caddy Life and will do a simple conversion like this (I mean, you did it properly), for anyone watching who's thinking of getting a small van like this, to convert into a camper, the Caddy is a good choice, there's also a Peugot Partner tepee, A Fiat Doblo or a Ford Tourneo Courier, and others.. a slightly larger but good, reliable van would be something like a Nissan NV200...You can get it with windows all around like the other cars mentioned too...

Hello, good job,beautifull guys. Some things i would have done different. For example,using Wood i think It will increase the weight if the van ,also the flooring adds an extra weight. I prefer PVC instead of Wood,It last longer,and It weigts less. For the floor i would have used a flexible glue as the engenier floor needs to be able to expand and contract,may be vinyl flooring it has more resitance to water . Just my opinión,i like your video very much, beautifull job there 😚

That rust 😟 remember the open rocker panel construction - behind the inner fender you can look into those for the whole lenght to the rear wheel. Our Caddy from 2005 had fist size rust holes in both sides just after 8 years - it was a beloved and well maintained family car. We cleaned the rocker panel twice a year but no chance against rust.

@@willsvanadventures to get a look onto the mess it is enough to turn a front wheel to the outside ( steering wheel complete to the right ) - then remove the two lowest screws of the inner plastic fender and look behind the fender. There will be a lot of dirt and in our case it was more than 3 liters of water / mud mixture which came out of the rocker panel. It was when our Caddy was 6 months old. Also have a look on the deflector panel at the wipers. The rhd version will have two open holes on top which are for the lhd wiper arms. Those holes must be closed with plugs - otherwise the leafs will fall into and later there is a lot of soil there. The water / leafs / soil is guided to fall direct to the open position of the rocker panels. It looks if VW made that with intention....

You've done a grand job there! 🤙🏼 Love it! How much do you reckon something like this would cost if I got someone to do it for me? I converted my T4 into a camper but want to downsize to a Caddy & can't be done with the headache of doing it again tbh.
@willsvanadventures
@willsvanadventures Год назад
Thank you! I'm not sure how much it would cost for a company. I don't know any companies that insulate properly or do cladding. I know most just put in units or sound deadening and carpet line. Costs me about £500 so imagine a company would charge over £1000 to do the same thing due to labour time.

Hi Will, Great video. I have just bought a Caddy Maxi myself which was also an old builders van and had the same rust issues as you by the rear door. So much so that one of the striker plates for the left rear door latch has gone. Will need to get a new one and weld it to a plate. I have bought all the sound deadening, insulation and foil to do the inside like you have in this video. Not sure whether to ply line it or carpet the walls & roof. Will be using it to take the e-bikes on some adventures so will be doing the floor in a rubber liner. Have you got the plans for the ply lining? I know you just used the old ones as stencils for this one but I have not got the old ply to use. Loving the videos, keep them up.
@willsvanadventures
@willsvanadventures 2 года назад
Hi Gareth! Thanks for watching! Ah man that's such a shame that its had the rust issue as well. I had exactly the same thing and it needed welding as well. I noticed it as the rear barn door had some play in it when shutting and after investigation I found the rust problem. Sounds like a great plan though and the rubber floors are really good and super easy to clean. I don't have the plans for the plywood I'm afraid but if you post in some caddy groups on Facebook I'm sure someone will have them. :)

HI Guys, really nice job and vid you did with your Caddy! Thx for sharing! Did you make a video about how it was holding up to your expectations over the last 15 months? And on a sidenote: I saw a recommendation, not to put insulation into the doors since they are not really waterproof and usually have holes on the bottom to let the incoming water get out... any problems with that?
@willsvanadventures
@willsvanadventures Год назад
Hey, that's interesting about the door. I hadn't heard that before. I don't think it would make difference with the bottle plastic as it doesn't hold moisture. I don't have the van anymore but I haven't heard anything bad about it since haha so think it's all good 🙂
