@@Dt17893 im on insta aswell vwadventurecarp 👍

I think they was from jennings seating , been on 3 years now so vaguely remember , t5 ones fit with a little modding i believe , please give a 👍 on vid

Not a 4 motion as mpg on them is terrible , 18mpg & we go all round europe alot , its a 150 genuine highline mapped to 200 bhp ish , goes off road more than most if all out there & towes 3 1/2 tonne boat with no problems at all in 2 years 👍

@@vwadventure I'm in Australia and we have millions of km's of unsealed roads so AWD is extremely useful. This sort of thing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G5udBxgcNqA.html :)

gooble69 mine would fly through that with 25 psi in tyres 😉👍

Old vid trying to get better on latest vids 🤞

Thank you very much 👍

Still running perfect 👍

Sorry no room to do another van but could do small weekend jobs on it , new updated vid on my channel 👍

Just put in eBay twin arm pull out tv bracket 👍

Ive converted 2 & measurements are correct were i have tape measure , most people putting bed to high , very rear of van bed just under 6 ft ,

Had ours from new 3 years now absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it , used every weekend , they only do 26mpg though 👍

You get 3 years europe assist with any vw , wouldnt like break down in somwere like morroco in a new vw though ?

New shapes wont rust as they sorted that problem , think old shape after 2016 was galvanised aswell , thanks for subscribing im new to this youtubing 👍

Seatskinz wigan 👍

Just cabinet gas struts of ebay , was only 1.50

Hello been in the vw scene 30 years , ive built a few now , how to do anything is on youtube just have a go 👍

After 2 years of owning ,this real world figures is 320 mile to a tank 24 mpg at 70 mph , tyres prob lost 4 mpg though , we did use to see 28 mpg before at tyres 👍

Cheers for your reply, I thought the new 2.0 TDI was much better on fuel, if you drive it at 50mph on a run surely you would see better mpg then that. Trying to work my daily fuel costs out with one of this vans,my daily route is nice 50mph plod 30 miles each way nice country road not much traffic. What year is your van take it it's just under 6m long,also what bed width do yo have I am 5ft 10. Many thanks

peter ludlow i had cut 2 inch of double memory foam mattres for bed , its a 2019 van & you might see 30 mpg if you do 50mph , we do alot of miles & go europe alot when we can & drive it like a car , done a 400 mile round trip yesterday all motorway no holdups cost 100£ in fuel 👍

About 6 weeks 👍

Savage lift kit , been on 16 months no problems 👍

Bed supports ? Everything is mostly made by myself , beds supported by metal beams across van i made 👍

I was wondering about the plastic spring things? Thanks

Search froli bed system 👍

Maybe next year 😉

@@vwadventure worth a try 😂👍

@@vwadventure I'm retiring in 4 years be 60 hopefully van prices will come down. Vw crafter 4 motion my ideal van just me and my pup be heading for Germany, Poland , Sweden, Finland and Norway but the uk I'll be staying and touring so much to see here in the uk can't wait

Whale water heater & i think cack tanks dont tank

Is that the underslung whale heater? I’m Really struggling to find a good spot to mount it!

@@vwadventure Thank you.

Internal or external mount 👍

Yes mwb

@@vwadventure Brilliant. Ty. It's amazing what you can fit in to a shorter wheel base with a little ingenuity. Next q ... what width did you have above the wheel arches after insulating? 👍

TrefyJot beds a 8 inch memory foam mattress across back if helps 6ft x4ft

@@vwadventure Ty. It's just I've a mind to have the bed (pie in the sky, currently) transverse as we're not giants lol

4 motion

When was it registered as a motor caravan

Sorry no idea , just a tune in imovie editor ??

@@vwadventure I found it ! It's called On & On by Cartoon. Fantastic Crafter build BTW 🔥👌

Prob about 38 including everything , van was brand new aswell

When i got the van in 2008 there was no swivels for them so used vw t5 ones had to slightly modify

@@vwadventure 👍👍

Sorry 2018 🤣

I fitted camperglass windows , vanx curtains behind , probably closed in vid 😉👍

Yes

What width is the bed? I thought you couldn’t get one in without getting side extensions - flares

Where i sleep its 1 inch under 6ft but van narrows in slightly at rear were its 4 inch narrower

12 months ago 😉

18s 35 offset 👍

@@vwadventure ,do they meet the load rating? Hard to find ones in Oz

TooManyToys yes if struggling for wheels try looking at used transporter wheels

You just pull the platics of & redrill holes where it atatches to seat base , maybe 10 mm higher on handbrake , then trim plastics to suit , very easy 👍

Thanks, so you just relocated it lower?, sorry thought you’d managed to have the lever to lower when handbrake applied like the California xxl, much simpler, less complicated 👍👍👍

I used a big long one sat on top of the wheel arch 😉

Beautiful build
