It was a big one for us this week, as we started cladding the interior of our van! We've been waiting for this moment ever since we bought Sophia. We're using 8mm pine cladding for our walls and ceiling, although we ran into a little roadblock when we realised we had to finish battening out our bulkhead. The shelving there gave us one hell of a headache, but we got there in the end. A busy week on the conversion, with lots of little jobs to do before the walls get finished.

Chesca & Ben here! In May 2019, we bought a sprinter van while we were on the other side of the world. We flew back to the UK to convert her into our dream home on wheels. Follow our journey as we take her from a panel van to a camper van, ready to drive us around the world.

@RyanPhallen 4 года назад

That looks great. I'm now installing my cladding in my build!. Can I ask what screws you used. Mine keep splitting the wood before they countersink so I think they may be too big.

@OverlandingSophia 4 года назад

Ryan Hey, we used 20mm wood screws ( not countersunk ) and when we were drilling close to the edge we made a small pilot hole first and this seemed to stop any splitting. Hope that works for you 👍

Great video, good to see some step by step and i am currently "binge" watching your videos. However, im currently playing a drinking game, drink when they say "wickes". You should be sponsered by them. :L

How did you mount the headliner/shelf? To keep it Secure?

Thanks for this vid we’re on this step right now. Wish us luck. We’ll be making a vid of how we do our walls (link in bio) right now we haven’t decided on whether we’ll be using wall panels or tongue and groove yet. I’d luv your feedback and welcome all comments 😊

@TheFreedomFarmacy 3 года назад

No insulation and where are your wires supposed to go now? Not well planned

@OverlandingSophia 3 года назад

Maybe watch the rest of our videos. Fully insulated, and wires are run in conduit later on.

@JUSTINANDCHRISTINA 5 лет назад

Guys .. you are very very motivating.. Is this van for vacation or more full time plans?

@OverlandingSophia 5 лет назад

Van is for full time living as soon as we get her finished! 😀

@JUSTINANDCHRISTINA 5 лет назад

Overlanding Sophia So excited about your journey! It will be epic! Plus you guys can work remotely! You got it all covered!

@TheHumanSoundSystem 3 года назад

how did you finish the otherside of the bulk head frame? i.e what do you see from the inside of the cab. Thanks for this video as I will build a large kitchen and will almost certainly copy this frame idea to support my kitchen and headliner shelf. I have actually cut out half of the grey bulkhead liner and will stick wooden supports and insulate the bulkhead then stick a shelf down on the supports.

@Stedemn 2 года назад

How did you fix the battens to the van wall?. Just screes into the metal frame?

@OverlandingSophia 2 года назад

We attached them to the metal ribs inside the van 😊

@Stedemn 2 года назад

@@OverlandingSophia thanks but I was more asking how the batten attaches to the metal ribs in the van. Would it be a small pilot hole then a metal screw?. Adhesive?. If the screw goes into the metal is there a risk of rusting?

Sorry, just found ur site, know its year old but subscribed to hope it up dates to newest video's, so as to see how ur doing also ur travels

@OverlandingSophia 5 лет назад

Thank you! Yeah we were really pleased with how it came out in the end 🙂

@nicolebannister5689 4 года назад

Hey guys great job!! What how did you attach the vertical support to the van?! ✌🏼

@TheVisalusBody 4 года назад

After having been in the van for about a year, how is the insulation layers working out? That is, how hot or cold does it get in the summer and winter? What is the high/low temps where you live? Thanks.

@veestar9837 3 года назад

Can i ask how you attached your batons to the metal wall..did you use rivets? Or drill for screws thanks

@OverlandingSophia 3 года назад

Hello! We attached the battens to the ribs of the wall, using self tapping screws 😊

@saralee3188 2 года назад

Brilliant idea about the tape to show where the wood is underneath. Thanks 😊

@ukjose1 3 года назад

Amazing work guys. Could you tell me what size are the battens that you used before the cladding? Many thanks. Jose

@OverlandingSophia 3 года назад

Hey Jose! The battens we used were 2x1 😊

Good video ‘ but did you yourself batten the walls ‘ It would have been nice to see. Thanks 🙏

@OverlandingSophia 3 года назад

We did! But it’s in a previous video ☺️

@thefreelifemovement 3 года назад

Great video guys! Which trim did you use, a link to Wickes would be AMAZING! Thanks!

@OverlandingSophia 3 года назад

Honestly, we have no idea! It’s just a standard white trim you can pick up from any DIY store ☺️

@tigaunt9420 3 года назад

Hi guys. Thanks for the video. Will definitely take some pointers on the bulk head and shelf. Quick question, is that 3x1 pine you are using for the bulk head? I cant work out the sizes from the video

@tigaunt9420 3 года назад

Or maybe it's 2x1 looking at it again

@OverlandingSophia 3 года назад

Hey! Yeah you’re right it’s 2x1 battening we’re using ☺️

Hey Guys : Just found you yesterday. Subscribed & Liked . Love the Videos. I am looking for an American Clipper RV and when I find one I'm going to remodel it and the way you put the wooden wall in gave me a great ideal. I'm so excited to get started but what's holding me back is not having the RV.. Ha Ha Thanks for the Video and I'll be watching . Terry in Kentucky

@OverlandingSophia 4 года назад

Hi Terry, thank you so much! So glad you like the videos, and happy to hear the wood cladding has given you some ideas - we LOVE the wooden walls! Best of luck with your remodel! All the best

@brettnbeckvalleyvan 5 лет назад

Nice one both loving the carpentry work the bulkhead shelf 👍 we'll impressed and the cladding looks great and the stud work for the kitchen 👍 she's coming along very nicely indeed, another great video 😉 ❤️✌️ xx

@OverlandingSophia 5 лет назад

That's great to hear coming from you! The shelf was a headache for us, we haven't really done woodwork before so it's all a learning curve too. Part of the fun though 🙏😀

@brettnbeckvalleyvan 5 лет назад

@@OverlandingSophia we were sat watching you and I said to Beck awww wish I was there to give you a hand and a few pointers you genuinely done a great job on the shelf considering you have no carpentry skills , what you done is very similar to what I explained to Beck that we were going to do, tell you what I'll P. M you my number tomorrow and if you are ever stuck you can always video chat and show me what's the situation is or even drop us a text if you want advice on any cabinet making, roof vent etc just don't ring, text, email about electrics 😂 but to be honest you guys won't need me your doing a great job 👏👏👏👏❤️✌️x PS Beck said hi x

@OverlandingSophia 5 лет назад

That would be great, thank you, just drop us a DM on Instagram. Half the fun is trying to figure it out, but I'm sure we're going to hit a brick wall sooner or later! Also Ben would be more than happy to help with the electrics if you need it, but doubt you will as you're smashing it too. Say hi to beck from us! :D

@CityGirlGoneGreen 5 лет назад
