Converting my vauxhall vivaro to a camper van

[@colinthegeordiehistorian10]

Good to see the Stages of the Build. I would not know where to Start

[@phoebelala]

Awesome video mate, thanks for sharing and taking the time to make it. It will help a lot of folks, myself included.

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi phoebelala thanks for the kind response I hope your camper conversion is going well if you have any questions I will try and help kindregards Lewi

@@andrewlewis7267 Hi Buddy, thanks for your offer, most appreciated. I would like to know the details of the RnR bed and the furniture. Im looking at all the options from self design and build to building flat packs. I also had the same idea with floor tiles as you. Great for creating a bit of a look and relatively inexpensive. Cheers chap. mine is LWB and twin sliding door, bit of a rare one really.

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi phoebelala I got the flat pack and smev sink from alpine leisure they are very helpful so they could give you advice especially when you have double doors I got the bed from ebay, camperdiy it is very good quality and prompt delivery and I got the carpet tiles from B Q I hope that helps you, kindregards Lewi

Oooo exciting! I just bought one too. Looking forward to seeing this video

[@donfenwick4372]

Good to catch up recently Lewi, excellent conversion its looking good and knowing you it will get well used in future adventures, speak soon.

[@8BROWNIE8]

lovely work there, putting into doing one myself! lol thanks

Nice conversion. Good to see you put in insulation. Did you buy the furniture as a kit? I converted my 2014 Renault Trafic LWB van into a Touring Van. I have started making videos for KZbin. If you are going to watch it I will appreciate comments from a fellow van converter. It is nice to see other people's ideas. Enjoy using the campervan..

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi yes the furniture come as a flat pack from alpine leisure it comes with the sink and hob and is pre cut at the moment I'm cycling across Spain when I get back I will start watching your channel kindregards andrew

[@DutchAussieProductions]

Thanks for the information. Have a great holiday in Spain.

Nice, just needed the gas bottle in a special airtight cupboard with a floor hole in case it leaks? Having it in and open cupboard with electric in there is not a good idea?

Buen vídeo gracias por la información.

[@jasonlocke4878]

Got same van . Going to start it soon ..Rock n roll bed.. so expensive for me . But the van looks great

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi Jason the rock n roll bed is so important to the build in the small van I store alot under the bed and can obtain it from inside the van good luck with the build, Andrew

[@MotownShow]

What is the cage/bars behind the drivers seat called? Is this a standard option in vans without cab walls?

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi the cage bar for the driver seat is standard if you don't have a bulkhead it was in the van when I purchased it

[@mrstrong5695]

Lovely van conversion.

[@mylessackett489]

Hi was this mpv? I need the trim pannels on the b pillar and roof. My van had a bulk head annoyingly so the trim is missing on the edge 😔

[@renaulttraficconversion]

Thanks for the video, Andrew. Nice conversion. Is this the SWB or LWB van? Have a nice day.

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi the van is a short wheel base

[@PBsky-f8x]

How much did this cost mate?

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi Paul I kept the build just under 2000 pounds that includes solar panel and battery and TV and satellite I just shopped around on ebay and amazon the kitchen unit is from alpine leisure, I hope that helps you, andrew

Hey I don’t know if you can help but I’ve got the same van that I’m converting to! How do I remove the cargo area light or change it to a different light and so that it doesn’t turn on wen I open the doors, only to come on if I choose. Hopefully u can help x

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi Healey the lights I used have built in switches and I wired them to my auxiliary battery and through my fuse box so I can switch them on manually I isolated the wiring from the doors so it doesn't drain the main battery I hope that helps you

[@HayleyRobinsonhale]

andrew lewis thanks for replying :) How do you isolate the wiring? I saw a video on a man disconnecting the wire and he just unplugged the light wire from the main cable. I presume that’s fine?

[@andrewlewis7267]

Hi Haley yes just disconnect the intior light and tape it out of the way all my lights inside run off the auxiliary battery so I don't worry about the main battery discharging hope that helps, kindregards Lewi
