I heard you mention Sikaflex for bedding the fan on. I learnt to my cost a few years ago that although Sikaflex (the semi rigid bonding sealer) is great stuff it can part company from the roof, even if you use Sikaflex primer. I now use the non-setting mastics which the caravan builders use and it permanently sticks like poo to a blanket.
@VanFamilyAdventures 7 күн бұрын
@@isaminecockers I have heard similar though it depends on the variant you use. Sika 522 is perfect for the job and with the clamping of the screws through the roof it creates a permanent seal. The adaptor has little ridges to grip the sealant and create the seal.

Loving the Van build. I've a swb transporter and I'm looking to move up to a mwb crafter or sprinter. It's just me our dog and the wife. Using it for Mtb trips and weekend camping, usually on a site. Have you any advice on what to look for, spec or faults? Do I go slightly lower spec and upgrade things like you have yourself. Or bite the bullet and try and get the best my budget allows, which then cuts into the conversion. Cheers JTB
@VanFamilyAdventures Ай бұрын
@@JtB72 Nice. It’s a big upgrade in terms of space. I’d aim for around 140bhp, trendline and if you can business pack as the base van as it gives you most of the features. I found the biggest challenge was finding a van that wasn’t beaten up or had error codes. The only thing I’ve really upgraded on the base van is reverse camera and headlights. Not many come from factory with the LED headlights and the reverse camera is a relatively easy mod. The short answer is get the best base van for your budget. It’s the foundations of the build so service history and equipment are key but some things can be added later as I mentioned. The conversion can take time - we’ve still got some jobs to do but they’re more cosmetic tweaks rather than actual conversion. Enjoy the build 🤙
