Anddddd, the seat benches are pretty much done! In this video, we are taking you with us, step-by-step, how we built our seat storage benches from scratch, in our Ford Transit Minibus Camper Conversion. This is probably one of the easiest things we've had to build so far!

After watching tons of your videos, I've learnt so much from you guys, im a woman of a certain age 🙄😁 attempting my first conversion, keep up the great work and hope harri is on the mend.

[@NickyandHarri]

Aw this is so lovely to hear! Anyone can do a conversion if they have enough determination and willingness to learn! We knew absolutely nothing when we started! Harri’s feeling a lot better thank you! Thank you for your lovely comment!

[@CallumTash]

It’s definitely more difficult when you have to work by yourself 😁 also, good job on sticking to one upload a week... we slack in that dept 😂

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you guys! We’re trying to stick with the consistency because otherwise we would let it slip for months 😂

[@thewansbeckwanderer6343]

love your channel

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you

[@MsMicheal12345]

briliant build you guys well done and by the way great editing.

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks so much, really really appreciate that!!

[@maxpower9340]

Can you explain how you joined the lengthways frame to the widthways frame, at the corners? I would have thought that you need a screw upwards from underneath but how do you screw the from the side when there is already a screw in the way?

[@ThomDrum89]

Loving the videos. Sorry if you’ve spoken about or answered this before, but, have you had to change to logbook to be able to drive your minibus? I’m looking at a similar van but google is telling me I can’t drive it on a standard licence as it’s above 3.5 tonne. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisbitu6285]

I recently insured my one with Adrian flux, because turning into a camper and not using it for carrying up to 17 people, they put it under a motorhome insure, all I have to do is prove that ive converted it, they've given me 12 months... so definitely worth a call

[@NickyandHarri]

Similar to what Chris said mate. We’re going to get insured with Adrian flux as a camper conversion. Then get the van weighed and downplated by a 3rd party company, they do it if you send them photos and the weight documents! Hope that helps

[@sho77y]

@@NickyandHarri You might struggle with the weight of the van with all that wood you have used. There are so many overweight conversions around and they probably don't even know. Might be a good idea to get it checked to see how much you have to play with. Good luck.

Damn i hope Harri feels better soon! 💔

[@NickyandHarri]

He’s on the mend ❤️
