VW Crafter conversion floor preparation 

Stumbled across your channel I enjoyed watching it I will continue with you on your journey regarding the campervan conversation. Kind regards Paul

Well done mate, good diversification on the channel. Wife is always banging on about van conversions so she is hooked too

cant wait all the best mate /kev

I love the way you think, that rivet/hammerite combination is genius. Even when you are learning yourself, you are teaching us. The amount of value you provide is insane, so thank you.

Liam it's great to see you getting stuck in and testing yourself on a different project. Mental health is the key to happiness so I'm glad you are aware and trying to address is 🙂 take care mate 🙂

Toolstation do a draper set that has all the larger star bits for the crafter. You’ll need it for all over the place.

Not really interested in boarding out a van , but thought I’d watch because I love the garden rooms, now , excuse the pun but I’m riveted, can’t wait for the next round, good luck Liam

Really nice to see you Liam turn your hand to Something different nice job 👍

Mate , fair play for keeping yourself busy while your minds a muddle. Keep on keeping on brother 👍

Been watching you for ages now mate ..hope your well and another great project 👍

4 or 6mm fillets in in the furrows, fix with eco sealer, then beads of eco on the ridges, while both still wet fit 9mm marine ply floor (obviously cut to suit first).. screw along edges/joins into the ridges only, fill and sand over screws, glue lino down, etc.. 'really' no need for insulation, sound deadening etc as proven.. if it's good enough for new, 65-90k panel vans at one of the largest UK manufacturers where I work, it's good enough for a self build.!

One episode in and you are already doing stuff no one else does! You have no idea how valuable this content is to me. thank you for making the effort. Wish you all the best and looking forward to more. Then a Travelogue?

You cladding the outside with cedar? 😂

Looking forward to the next vid.Thinking on doing one myself.

Good start! I can tell this is going to be a Van for life 🤣👍🏼

Liam the holes are sealed filled nice idea mate like the way you have used the white hammarite paint as a sealer keep the videos coming enjoy watching them

Now this is exciting Liam thanks mate. Looking forward to seeing what comes next 👍👍👍👍

Looking good, can't wait to see the finish

I would keep the spaces underneath the isolation as ventilation ducts. I've seen van builders doing the same thing and it does make sense (somewhere)

Really looking forward to watching this venture Liam 👍

Good editing aswell mate, love seeing the work speeded up. Don't stop doing that part lol

Bringing the garden room into the van

In the gaps in between insulation and floor I used dodo thermo fleece (recycled plastic) first then lay everything on top of that and that will fill the gaps 👌🏻

Good tips Liam, neatly treated with hamerite. You could use some Rostoleum for the other rusty parts maybe and when I was done with whole the floor I used some tactyl for the underside by the new holes. Inside the ridges where the air gaps are for you insulation I used this spray on low expanding glue foam in a gun. Its polyurethane but also a glue and it fills the voids and bonds well to the PIR.

👏👏First step lots more to go, good luck👍👍

Loving this content mate, it's priceless this step by step journey, it's really appreciated Liam 👏 👍 You can plastic refurbishment agent fir plastics, it's like £2. Winder if that's better than sourcing new trim 🤷‍♂️ But imagine if you found the same van in a scrapyard and they let you grind out a slatt of the profile of the floor lol that way you could get your profile and knock it into the insulation board to get the exact profile 🤣 probably O.T.T 🤣 loving this though

Excellent new project 👌 genuinely excited to see how it goes.

Good in Liam and to the team♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Going to be an awesome build Liam, love your videos. I love camping and converted a land rover 110 once. But would love to do a van build. Finding the right layout is difficult though. Have you considered a happyjac bed mechanism? A really good functional bed that can be put away when not in use.

The hole-filling method you came up with is commonly used in aerospace and called ‘wet-installing’. Sometimes a flexible sealant is used, sometimes just primer or paint. Either way it’s better than the epoxy… so imho you’re starting off well.

Looking forward to seeing this project 👌🏼

Hi Liam Try Insta stik form Screwfix it will fill your gaps between floor and insulation but wear gloves its supper sticky

Liam love it bro, Feel free to make the vids a bit longer, I`m loving this new venture man...Keep `er Lit

Hi Liam! Have you checked out Transporter HQ! They have recently done a VW Crafter and they have a good range of ideas. They also do the windows through Camper Glass. Keep up the great work, look forward to seeing what happens next 👍

Try Armaflex rubber sheeting for the insulation, it comes in sticky back too.

Thanks for sharing, love your content

Nah then mate,, you might have already looked but, The Restoration Couple on RU-vid might be a decent help for you, he did a full conversion on a similar sized motor start to finish with boat loads of vids showing details. Nice little project this to keep ya mind off stuff, good luck with it mate

keep them coming pal

Don’t forget to remove the lower side trims and reseal their fixings as they let water in

Watching that was riveting.

I like your idea for filling the holes with rivets. I can see one issue with your process though, you haven't prepared the vulnerable under side of the van from rust before installing the rivets. I would of prepared both the inside and under side, also use a rust treatment, before installing the rivets. Otherwise great content as usual.

For the floor, would spraying it with foam work? Pretty permanent but effective id say

Are you okay Liam? 💙

Could do wi a new front door on your house Liam looking dated nice grey one would go cracking wit that cedar clad. Just kidding great content keep it up.

Is that a cold/warm or hybrid floor

Are you going to treat the other side of the floor?

Fantastic job can I make 1 suggestion bud could you number the videos as well as describing each one just so I can go back and look up anything I need to or if I miss one then I know the sequence. If it's a pain in d tits to do it no worries pal.

👍👍👍🍺⭐️⭐️

What about the rust around the holes on the underside of the floor?

Got a link for that disc pal
