Carpeting a VW transporter & making carpeted window frames

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?

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

Carpeted my VW transporter T6. I've also made some inner carpeted frames for the windows, very pleased with the results although I think I might try and get a slightly thinner carpet next time to make it a bit easier.

Great video & love your presentation style. Im carpeting shortly so your video was very helpful. What was the strip of wood you putting on the inside of the window frames? Appears curved in one section of the video, but on another shot it looks like a strip of hardboard. What ever it was how did you fit that to the back of the frame? Thanks

[@KBeadle]

just a strip of hardboard

[@RamblingHambling]

Absolutely fantastic watching this all unfold. I await each new episode with anticipation. What 360 camera are you using too,by the way? Loving the use of it!

[@KBeadle]

Its the insta 360, its got its limitations but I'm really impressed with it

[@RamblingHambling]

@@KBeadle ah gotcha! thanks! It really looks amazing quality, keep up the good work!

[@postiesteve]

is that sheet of plywood on the drivers side that you carpeted one piece? I reckon I need 2.3 x 1.4 meters which is larger than B&Q stuff

[@KBeadle]

yes it was one piece

[@jonathancook4022]

Sweet! Well done that man!

[@karlossmith3714]

do you remember howmuch carpet you ordered..im looking to get 8m x 2m and wondering if itll be enough 😆

What is the name of the swingy song? (tried shazaming it, but no luck) Edit: 'Classical Junkie - Radin' and 'Radio Ritz - Iceman Bob' use the same samples, but it's not the same song. The one in the video has more beat to it.

[@Exciteddelirium1]

The only criticism I have, is that you put the milk in the mug with the teabag.... Brew 3 minutes, remove bag, add milk.

[@PaulDovener]

Great job, are you not using vapour barriers or insulation?

[@KBeadle]

Paul D yes it has insulation. It was I think it was in the first video

[@PaulDovener]

@@KBeadle Ah yes, seen it now, it was only just in there for a few moments though towards the end, to quote you, "I forgot to film it" :-)

[@OllieUK22]

Following with interest as I’m just starting my journey. I have the pop top and insulation in, windows next I believe, (then carpet) - thanks for highlighting that!!

[@KBeadle]

no worries glad I can help
