A genius design. This is perfect for one or two people as you don't need swivel seats and it does away with the normal rear seating taking up all that space at the back. Very practical. I love the shower/wc room, brilliant.

Thanks glad you like it we took a lot of time planning the lay out, people are amazed when they see it and call it the TARDIS lol. Its perfect for two adults. And very warm and cosy when away in him,👍

Just what I've been looking for and no-one makes. A 'small' van with a proper bathroom and kitchen. What a great build, well done ;-)

[@thinkingoutofthebox.9421]

Excellent design well thought out. I have a Ford Transit custom Devon Firefly hightop automatic swb, I got it because I wanted easy access to the loo at night being 2 single beds, , but your bed is so easy to set up in comparison.

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

I know the van you mean. Yes we did look at that lay out as well plus lots of others and decided to go for this on based on the caravan design, but it still allows access to the bathroom and kitchen when set up. We have been looking about and haven’t seen this lay out being used yet. We love it, thanks for your comment. 👍

[@dottygirl6973]

Wonderfull, I completely agree that the Ford Customs are extremely good looking, they have such a lovely automotive streamline shape. I was obsessed with the Wellhouse Terrier xl lux high top converstions a few years ago. From memory none of the various configurations had a full bathroom, just a toilet. As an extra you could upgrade to a shower, cold water only, not sure if its still in production. I think your conversation is much more superior. You have really made use of every inch. Congratulations on your masterpiece. I will be rewatching over and over thank you 👍

I would have guessed it was a camper van straight from the factory, or at least a professional conversion. Very nicely done

Clever layout, great build...thanks for sharing! I also fitted a transverse bed in our Custom - we took a 10 day trip to Spain last summer and slept absoluely fine. And as for the workmanship - well you can also spend 20k on a "professional" job and have some horrible bodges hidden away! Looks very tidy to me.

We all build them to our own specifications. We had a vw for 11 years and did not want the vw lay out its old hat now.

Great build think this is more practical then the normal side conversion with rock roll bed. I would like to do something similar when funds allow but I am 5ft 10 so would need to have rethink on how to make it fit for me and wife. Could the toilet be made smaller so could get 6 foot by 4 foot bed in length ways. Thanks

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Yes I can help thanks for popping in they are flat so you do need to seal behind them when you bolt them through the van. Don’t worry about the slight curve the awning goes on lovely and remember to run some draft tape behind the awning to help seal it to the body and stop water dripping in. These are the ones i used let me know how you get one good luck stay safe 👍🫶 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372619911491

[@hugowitt7922]

Amazing van! Was there any difficulty in fixing the Seitz windows to the slightly curved panels of the van? I’ve got hold of a slightly bigger window and I’m now worried that this curvature might cause problems. Most of the vans I’ve seen these windows on are the larger panel vans and I assume have slightly less curvature. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

These windows where the largest ones to fit the aperture inside as the door would stop you fitting a larger window. The curve on the van is not a problem as when you fasten it up it will pull tight and as you have put mastic it will seal the very slight gap if there is one. Just make sure the van is on flat ground when you measure and cut the hole. The larger glass window is completely different as you cut the complete section out then stick the glass window in. But you then don’t get the insulation blinds and fly screen with a sliding window. Let me know how you get on where are you located in the world 🤔

[@mikelovell3125]

Hi - great video. I'm buying an L2H2 transit custom for conversion. How did you source and fit the roof headliner? I can't find anyone who sells an L2H2 headliner. Do I have to make one myself? Thanks

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Hi Mike thanks for looking yes you make them your self with ply board. Make it out of 4 bits covered in carpet with self drilling metal screws with plastic caps it works great to be able to remove the roof for access. Let me know how you get on if you need any other advice or help. The L2H2 is the best van size being 5.5mts and depending on your lay out you can get lots in it 👍

spectacular and impressive but how many meters high is the interior of the bathroom and the measurements of the bed

Yes you bolt it through the sill lip and use ally angle bracket that drops down from the under van floor to support the rack of the step. The cable will then go up into the van behind the passenger seat floor to feed the 12v via a fuze box

Hey fantastic build! I was wondering what is the standing height. The Ford website shows 1778mm and I'm 172cm so I would have 5 cm to spare. How tall are you and how thick is your floor and roof paneling? Can you comfortably stand upright or is your head touching the ceiling

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Bonnie's MoTo-Ranch thanks for your lovely comment we are both 5,8 the hight is 5,9 on the floor I used sticky back sound proof and insulation all in one. Then marine ply on top of that being quarter inch thick. With Vinal floor times on it. The roof is the same insulation and then ply board cut into sections and screwed to the support struts and carpeted. This gives 5,9 in the full length of the van.

[@BonniesMoToRanch]

@@LeeLeesAdventures thanks mate! I was only looking at renualt traffics because they are about 20cm taller but that should actually do for me too. Definitely gonna take it into consideration for looks and reliability!

[@relaxnation2586]

what headroom do you have in this van ??

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

After insulation and floor it’s about 5.9 we are 5.8 so no problem 👍

Will floor tile joints crack with the movment of the van?

Not if you use flexible grout and adhesive it’s been in 4 years now and no cracks. And we have used it loads. Just make sure you tank the room first before you do any tiling 👍 thanks for commenting hope you like the van stay safe 🙏

Hello Can you please tell how much does it cost in total to build it and any suggestions where in Uk I can convert van to camper Thanks

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

The total build fit out not including the cost of the van would be in the range of 15k depending how lush you want to make it. And that is if you build it yourself. Hope this answered your question. Thanks for posting 🫶

Hello Marriott, thinking to buy the same van, how are your impressions after some month? want to ask you wich material is the grey moquette of the wall? it is adesive?? Thankyou

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Hi jordi its just the gray stretch carpet on ply board with spray glue. The van is amazing drives like a car, and with it being the LWB is 5,5mts perfect as a camper with just enough room, for my design layout. We have only managed a couple of short trips but it all worked great, even the shower.

Nice van. How did you line the roof ? I have a h2l2 and looking for ways to line the roof

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Hi Simon i used ply board carpet lined it then used self taping screws with plastic black caps to finish the look. Its in three parts so i can get access to mend or upgrade stuff under it, its been sound proof and insulated, and the boards fasten to the roof ridges. So make sure you cut them to fit first. Total hight in side is 5,9 we are both 5,8 so it works good. Let me know how you get on, thanks for you lovely comment stay safe

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Have you seen the new walk around video now its fully finished. With upgrades and mods now made.

[@simonmiller981]

Self tapping screws straight in to the steel roof struts?

[@simonmiller981]

Did you cut the ply yourself or buy them in pre-cut? I can't find anyone that offers them pre-cut?

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Cut them myself just three oblong cuts measure width including the roof bow and them measure from the front ridge to the door ridge cut it then test fit. Then just repeat. When all done carpet then screw fit

@@LeeLeesAdventures I thought I had checked all the comments before asking but it seems I missed the one about the cost. It was hidden in the replies of an irrelevant comment. However, I couldn't locate the bed dimensions anywhere. I mean neither "The bed sleeps two lovely" nor "As long as you are not large framed and under 6 ft it works great" can count as dimension... But thanks anyway for the reply.

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Spiros Zaharakis sorry the actual dimensions are not there only estimated size the actual size is 68’ long and 48’ wide. So you are right you need to under 5.8’ and slim to medium build large frame would not work. Hope this helps 👍

[@Ch3699]

How do you get 6'? On spec there is only 1778mm interior height which is ~5'10 then you would minus floor and ceiling insulation so...? Help me understand what I'm missing?

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

We are both 5.8 and have at least 2” clearance it depends on what wood you use on floor I used 1/4” Marine board on the roof I used thin ply board. covers in carpet and used 4 sections and used self tapping screws to fasten to the support struts that uses minimal space. the ply sits off the roof about the thickness of a pencil giving more hight. then stuck vinyl tiles on the floor the thickness is as thick as a rubber including the soundproof and insulation. Hope this helps. I have just fitted a sliding door and cut it two 69cm then had to install sliding channels top and bottom so the spec you got must be wrong as I am standing in the van with a tape and it all fits 😁

Thanks for sharing the video it is much appreciated as I have a Custom L2 H2 ... but ... I'm sorry as I don't agree with the majority of people here, but to spend that much on the vehicle for such poor quality finishing is a shame. I'm sure it works for you and the wife but I was cringing at the extremely poor quality of the work and finishing. The van deserved much better. I do thank you for sharing though as at least people can see what is possible ... or not.

David Dunlop thanks David out of hundreds comments and people seeing the van in the flesh YOU are the only one saying how poor the finish is. Even the ford garage wanted the van in display and asked if I would take orders for them. I thanked them and said it’s a one off as it’s just for me and the wife. I don’t know where you are pointing at but thanks for your comment we all have our opinions and you are by your self with yours. Stay safe thanks

And Thanks

[@AchillesWrath1]

I would say you are generalizing. He built it for what he wants to do. Not what you want to do. There are a lot of people that want to travel and live off road off grid whatever you want to call it like this. If you want stay at a resort then have at it. This is meant for traveling and having a sort of mini home wherever you go. Something that feels sort of like a camp. You can buy a camp but it's always going to be in that one spot. With this you can go almost anywhere you want. And yes RV's and motorhomes are much bigger and more luxurious but they also can be a pain to drive on back roads and in thick traffic.
