3. Fitting windows and Carpeting a VW T6.1

VW T6.1 DIY campervan conversion. Follow along with this van build series as I convert a commercial van in to a cool camper van FOOKIN PUTIN
alright campervanners. Anyone else reading the news and feeling powerless to help. Well here’s a couple of charities that are worthwhile donating to. Either click the link or just Google the charity name and donate summat, even if it’s only a couple of quid it’s gotta be better than nowt right?
bit.ly/decorguk
dec.org.uk Donate to this charity and the UK government will match your donation. So you can get the government to send some of that fuel tax that you're currently having to pay to the Ukraine, hows that for Karma! DEC is made up from 15 humanitarian charities including the Red cross and save the children

UNICEF are a childrens charity that are on the ground helping the children and parents of Ukraine with clean water, food and life saving supplies

I've created bitly links as the web address was too long, obviously there is nothing in it for me other than not feeling totally helpless. Watch until the end to find out who won the rivnut gun, Thans to everyone that commented

[@simonstork9404]

Watched with baited breath..congratulations to the winner..what you gonna give away this week...oh I see it’s your skill and knowledge. You made that carpet lining look simple and yes I think the dog was impressed. As always another excellent presentation.

[@peanut25john]

Just found your channel ‘ yes , you are good ‘ and a sense of humour as well ‘ what more do I want ‘ more videos of course ‘ so I’ll be on you now. Thanks 🙏 John

[@garethsmith5726]

Great work, you make it look so easy 🚐👍

[@steelynick]

Another cracking video, good luck with the camper van conversions.

[@pb6972]

In it just a good feeling when you got new stuff for the van.. I don't know but myself can't be happier.. With a new bit of kit for the van a cup tea.. And just injoy.. Brilliant... As for glass... Yes that's it easy days.. Not even a pair of glass suckers in sight.. Man after my own heart... Well it's all coming together nicely now.... I'm starting to get jealous 😂😂.. As for the carpet hahaha... But actually proves it can all be done.. But saying that.. You still need to know stuff.. Ok people take care.. Devon pirate Paul stuck in Jersey Channel Islands uk... Hardcore 👍

Good job, well done, looking really good mate. 😃👍

[@KBeadle]

Thanks 👍

[@sukamayoutube2323]

Hello to you too! Haha 😄 ey up, I'm from north Yorkshire, feeling proud lol

[@markmangan8586]

Top vid 😊👍

[@MountainBikePete]

Oh I'm loving your new van build Karl. I'm just at the same stage where I'm looking at ply for the walls (but do I need it now!?) and carpeting! Perfect timing. Love it mate.

[@paulgriffin4820]

Hello im a new subscriber yr vids are really good n funny yr carpeting is superb ❤ it .

[@gaznos]

I chuffin love this channel 😁

[@KBeadle]

well I'm chuffin pleased about that

[@g3rrypaton]

Tidy job that , looks really neat with no panels , some folk might not like it but 👌

[@KBeadle]

well it'll get them talking then ;)

[@tryagain.k1821]

They are B-yew-tile sheets. NOT Booot-all. Congrats on knowing that sound deadening works by lowering the resonance frequency of the panel, so you put it in the middle not all over. That is 2nd year of uni. physics. You talk a lot of sense and are obvious;y very intelligent.

[@dr-onestuffido]

amazing work as always :) your also very entertaining :) I did look at the website link but it doesn't seem to work mate?

[@mikeadams4591]

Love the videos. What happened to your website? I cant access it from the link

[@lukasnovotny8405]

Dobrá práce 🥇

[@daviddring8692]

Clicked the place for help with my campervan. Says site not ready. I'm interested. David Dring

[@tamo9520]

I can't believe that those windows aren't held on, or in place with anything attached on the frame at all! Anything other than that glue that is. And, I have a question, could you have received a greater insulation value if you doubled up that insulation in more layers? Fantastic job on all the work you did in this video! You did such a professional job with the carpeting! Bravo!

[@KBeadle]

You could but its the law of diminishing returns and I'm not going to the arctic in it. Also you have to remember these vans have a canvas roof so theres no point putting massive amounts of insulation in it when all the heat will disappear out of the roof. I fit insulation for the sound deadening qualities as much as the heat retaining qualities

[@tamo9520]

@@KBeadle Aah, thank you for replying. I'm Canadian, living here in Canada, or what could be considered as 'The Arctic" at times, lol. I actually live in Winnipeg, MB, but those of us who reside here have actually nick-named it "Winterpeg" (just to add as to why I was concerned about extra insulation I guess, lol). And I definitely did not know that the roof of the van was made of canvas. Now I do. I'm new to your channel, but with your talents , knowledge and replies, I'm definitely learning. So I thank you for that. And now that I recall, I do believe that I have seen in one of the videos that the van does have a pop-up roof, correct? Again, thank you for taking the time to explain. It really helps me to understand and decipher through what I want to do when I find my used, but 'New-To-Me' next mobile home. Because I will be remodeling it.

[@samboth9578]

What’s the background music? It’s really funky!

[@davidcee6037]

Excellent. Great content with added humour. Many ruin good vlogs with bad music. Yours are very good. Would love to see one on how you make vlogs, equipment used etc..?? Can??

[@1968kcc]

Most entertaining veidos. Enjoyed watching it. How/where do I find details of your van building site please. Can you post a link Regards

[@1968kcc]

Found the link helped by the more technical minded family member

[@1968kcc]

Made contact to your site

[@Hudsonvanlife]

Website doesn't work how much to install diesel heater

[@EWmedia]

Why not windows on there back doors?

[@gra2408]

Bootle is also an area in Liverpool 😛

[@harezy]

Looked nice after the carpet. But it looked like a two man job so someone like me with no patience 🤣😁

[@KBeadle]

You just have to glue a bit at a time

[@chilam6227]

You're a braver man than me cutting holes in a brand new van 😀 How many campers do you have?

[@Tim_Ventures]

The windows you carpeted and didn't trim... could you put trim on or is there a reason for no trim with carpet?

[@KBeadle]

you can I just prefer it without

[@kader7707]

hola

[@emmafoley5782]

I am really sad I dint win in😭😭

[@KBeadle]

nemmind

[@dustyfruit946]

Why no insulation on the wheel arches?

[@KBeadle]

because I'm not going to the artic ;) this van will be used mainly in summer and even when I do use it in winter I've got the diesel heater so its just a waste of time and money. Vw's own £60k California doesn't even have insulation in the walls so I'm more than happy with what I've got.

[@stephenevans1833]

You made fitting the windows look easy . Is it foolproof cos I want to put some in my Vito . Was it a jigsaw that you used?👍

[@KBeadle]

yes

[@themagicillusions]

I’ve seen people put the adhesive on the glass pane and others, like you, put it on the body. Why is that better in your opinion?

[@KBeadle]

its a contact adhesive you have to put it on the carpet and the metal

[@themagicillusions]

@@KBeadle and what about the windows?

[@KBeadle]

Not really sure why you would put it on the glass

[@billbesty1000]
