I want some opinions about 2 models which one to choose as a result of qualities and total parts and prices of them when needed.. Mercedes benz vito '00 -'04 , '05 -'10 and second choice vw transporter t4 vs t5..? Also i intend to install a lift up kit because we love mountains and snow not molds..

Just come across your video and wow, great effort guys!! I’m thinking of getting a Vito and getting it converted. Is yours a SWB? I’ve looked at other brands of vans but people keep telling me a Vito would be the best option if I am clocking up a lot of miles…

Great video. I lived in a Citroen Xsara Picasso for 18 months. So I'm an expert at the living in a car business! I'm now contemplating a Vito. Here's my question. WHAT are you drilling in to when you are doing the ceiling? Is the roof double skinned or something? So thge screws don't stick oout of the roof on top of the van? (I know. silly question. Self tapping screws I assume?). Ditto the floor. Drilling straighrt into the metal. What's on the other side? Thanks.

@the_useless_photographer3 жыл бұрын
I suspect it was a bodge job that will rust to death in 3 years. It wasn't done properly. The insulation will trap water and moisture and rot. No sound barrier first.

Silly question - but when you drill the wood beam to the metal floor of the van, do you need to drill through? Do you need to seal it somehow?
@MrScart353 жыл бұрын
Yes you do need to seal the bare metal. Their work looks nice on the video but it will start rust underneath as soon as the first rain hits and moisture in the air increases.
@ainik203 жыл бұрын

@@ainik20 most proper builds glue the wooden batons to the flooring to stop rusting. This job wasn't done correctly and I pity a future unsuspecting buyer who thinks that they're buying a properly done camper.

Hey! Great work! Helpful Video! Did u have any problems with mult so far? Do you think that isolation will be fine with humidity?
@ByTheCompass3 жыл бұрын
Hey, thanks a lot - that's great to hear! Sorry for the late reply, but no.... no problems that we know of. I think that because we spent some good time on the reflective vapour barrier, there's not much to worry about. Some metal is still bare, so that does see some condensation. Carpeting those areas might be a good idea.

That's awesome! Glad you found the video helpful! Ours already had sound deadening when we got it so I'm not sure if I can be of any help there unfortunately... Thinking about it though, I think I'd say that 10 might not be enough...

hey, it's a hard one to explain but there are a bunch of places around the inner frame of the van you can screw into safely without piercing the outer van walls.
