Well done mate all looks very smart indeed!

[@WildAstro]

Thanks Rowdy. Feels great to be at the end of the process at last!

[@paulmarsh8458]

You've done a great job, I'll be rewatching all the vids once I get my van and begin the conversion.

[@WildAstro]

Thanks Paul, glad it’s been useful for you mate. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!

[@philward2196]

Cracking mini series dude, good on you

[@WildAstro]

Many thanks Phil! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BulldogBadger]

Looks amazing! I would love to get a van at some point, inspiring stuff for sure👏🍻

[@WildAstro]

It’s definitely a steep learning curve but if you put in the time to learn BEFORE doing then it’s worked out ok for me. Thanks buddy!

[@adamtoutdoors6390]

Looks the puppies plums mate. Well done buddy. Worked hard on that you have. Top job. ATB Adam 🤜💙🤛

[@WildAstro]

Cheers Ad! It’s been worth every minute of effort mate!

[@ttxela]

Neat looking van 👌

[@WildAstro]

Many thanks friend!

[@ashropshirelad]

Nice one RIch.....looking smart mon,

[@WildAstro]

Cheers Gordy. Van life here I come!

[@anthonypayne1]

One adventure ends, another begins! Nice one mate👍

[@WildAstro]

Thanks Anthony. Always an adventure to be had if you look in the right places!

[@Professionalmoochers]

Be careful with the van, you’ll get lazy 😉 We swapped summit tent camping for Campervan trips years ago and we’re now twice as large!

[@WildAstro]

🤣😂🤣 I’d love to say there’s no chance of that but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

Very nice conversion sir …. look forward to your first trip out in it …. 👍👍

[@WildAstro]

Many thanks sir! So do I!

[@chrisarnold4709]

Done a good job! What I had the time and capability!

[@WildAstro]

Honestly not difficult mate, just do your research, watch others on KZbin, and have a go!

[@chrisarnold4709]

Ah, maybe! Did the back of my landrover but that was quite simple and no heater or major electrical work but that's sadly long gone....and the Mrs might be a bit upset about getting a van!

[@kierzzy]

Awesome stuff mate, just recently bought a LWB Renault Trafic, started looking for inspiration on KZbin and stumbled across your channel… three hours+ later I’ve watched from start to finish! Electrical side is a little daunting but sure I’ll get there in the end. Would like to know the rough cost of everything all in so I know what to expect as I’m planning on doing near exactly the same as you have

[@WildAstro]

Morning matey, thanks for the kind words. Total cost of the conversion worked out somewhere between £5-6k not totally sure because there are lots of little things that needed buying that didn’t go on the list, but it’s around that figure.

[@kierzzy]

@@WildAstro brilliant mate thanks, saved a few Bob in man hours too I suppose 😂 where is the R&R bed from?

[@WildAstro]

@@kierzzy yes mate, definitely saved money by doing it myself although there are one or two places I wish I had some help. The R&R bed is from a company called Roadrunner conversions I believe. In all honesty mate I’ll never buy from them again. Nothing but a string of broken promises and disappointments.

[@kierzzy]

@@WildAstro oh dear, that’s a shame! There is quite a few places do them online but looking at £950 minimum which is a bit of a stretch on the budget at the moment!

[@WildAstro]

@@kierzzy yeah, that’s why I went with them. Think I paid £800 for it, but to be honest I would happily have paid more for a better buying experience.

[@brianbrooks4070]

Great videos, where did you get the rear floor trim and edge trim between van and cabin

[@WildAstro]

Hi Brian I got it from a lady in the Vivaro Traffic Campervan group on Facebook called Jeanette Douglas, but sadly she passed away last year. Her husband is continuing to take orders for the pets though I can’t remember his name. If you ask around in the group you should get an answer, but tread lightly, it was only just before Christmas that she passed I believe.

[@brianbrooks4070]

Did you get the B pillars from same site

[@WildAstro]

@@brianbrooks4070 no mate. Got those from a company called Dapstar on Facebook.

[@simoncooper8662]

Hi mate good job , what connector’s did u use.?

[@WildAstro]

Hi pal, at the moment they’re just Wago connectors but may swap them out for a more permanent type of connector at some stage.

[@petebyard1954]

Hi Do you have a link to the chequer plate trims for the back and side door? Thanks Pete

[@WildAstro]

Unfortunately mate, the lady who used to make them sadly passed away last year. If you go on the Vivaro Trafic Campervan group on fb and have a search for checker plate accessories you should eventually find her husband, who is still making them. Hope that helps.

[@petebyard1954]

Oh no, that's terrible! Thanks very much for the reply. I'll have a look for him on fb. I've enjoyed watching your van build videos whilst doing our own van. Cheers P

[@jasonmaddison8815]

Hey fella how u doing these days

[@WildAstro]

I’m getting there thanks mate. On top of everything else I’ve had covid since last Tuesday and was in hospital for 24hrs to make sure I was able to fight it off while on chemo. Thanks for checking up on me pal, good to hear from you 🙏

[@jasonmaddison8815]

@@WildAstro stay safe richy

[@chrish3305]

Hmmmm, not sure you’re qualified to be doing the electrics. Leave it to a professional 😉😆

[@WildAstro]

😂 Yeah, my boss tells me that a lot!
