THIS ONE IS FULL OF DRAMA..... In the episode we install the swivel seat base from Audrio and the handbrake/parking brake adaptor, it was all going so well until we started to encounter problem after problem. This how to video very quickly turned into a how not to install the Audrio swivel seat base.
We hope you enjoy the episode and find it useful. If you do drop us a like and subscribe.
This self build van conversion series will give a step-by-step guide of how we convert our VW Crafter van into a campervan (adventure van, overlanding van). We have no experience in van conversions but have lots of DIY experience but want to convert our van so we can experience van life in the UK & Europe, with the dream of shipping it to America next year.
We hope to build an adventure overlanding van comparable to a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4/AWD, Winnebago Revel similar to Living the Van life and travel like Kinging it.
Thanks for watching.
Our van is a VW Volkswagen Crafter Long wheel Base LWB 4Motion 2022.

[@jameswheeler9752]

Good video. I prefer the true, this is how it really happened rather than edited to make it look perfect. Did you have to pay import duties?

[@abucklife]

I should title all our videos ‘how not to…’ 😂😂 I can’t remember now.

[@jameswheeler9752]

@@abucklife just ordered mine for both front seats. Import duties landed in my email before the order was even dispatched. Lol

Loved it Matty! 😍

[@abucklife]

Thanks for watching pal ❤️

[@pamelarothwell1320]

That handbrake arrangement is awful! On our Sprinter it just drops down so the seat will spin.

[@abucklife]

How does it compare to this design? Bette or worse.

[@pamelarothwell1320]

Its much better. It simply drops down like it would when it's in its off position. Your one looks like you will stand on it and it prevents the gap being used for something useful. Our dogs bed is there. Sorry for being negative, I love your videos

[@abucklife]

Yer I totally agree but I think that’s all that is available as retro fitting it. Thanks for watching. 🙏
