Unique Sprinter camper van with style

My old van from the '00's has roof glass from the '60's, and I'm not stopping there. This will be the camper conversion to break from the norm.

I watch Bad Obsession Motorsport because I like perfection for the sake of perfection. I watch Soup Classic Motoring because I like pragmatism, the principle of making due and the can-do attitude. Life is about striking the right balance between what you have, what you can and what you need. These two channels are on the opposite ends of this spectrum, and it's refreshing to get a glimpse into both worlds.

[@joeroad6618]

when I designed B-van campers for my former employer, we used rock wool in the walls and ceiling for insulation in the cavities. I would add a channel to each end of the opening in the sunroof, also a wood frame around it will stiffen it up plus give you a surface to attach the ceiling panel. doing a great job with the limited materials you have!

A frame is forthcoming, as is rockwool! Glad I'm on point there. Thanks a mill :)

[@terryatkinson899]

Really annoying about the paint But better to find out about it in the yard than many miles away. You'll be putting the panel wipe on with a sponge from now on. You learn something new every day 🤗 The roof window hole would have scared me, much bracing required. Really crap weather we've had, it's no fun tinkering outside lately.

[@Framo60]

If this were my van, I would have tried to leave all the internal braces untouched, in order to keep the whole structure of the van body intact - they are there for a reason, and have been designed to be able to withstand certain loads and stresses. And these large 'tin boxes on wheels' are weak enough already in their original form, even compared to contemporary cars ... I think that having a crash or a rollover in a van with compromised structures will inevitably make things worse than having the same kind of accident in a van with its essential upper body strength intact and being as designed by the manufacturer. Of course it would be even better to have no crash or rollover at all, but it is not always up to us to decide about this matter ... For this reason, I would have set the skylight insert parallel to the transverse roof braces (and maybe rather use two skylights along the length of the van roof). But I am not remodeling this van, so this not for me to decide ...

[@soupclassicmotoring]

No fun with the weather is right! Bracing coming for the skylight, it's flexing the roof aft of it where there's less structure. Thank you both.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

[@southhillfarm2795]

Enjoyable to watch. I have a sprinter as well and saw your interior rust issues at the structure seams interior of my van was exposed from the previous owner. But before I install wall panels I think I will sand blast the seams. It’s the only solution I can think of before applying a spray on sealer

[@soupclassicmotoring]

The roof seams are such a trouble point on the first gen Sprinters. If you know they are definitely sealed from the outside, then yes maybe take the rust off and then paint.

[@AB-C1]

Fantastic job as always, coming up with some unique problem solving ideas (which is what I like to do). Its the reason I like the channel, plenty of unique ideas and great execution of them on a budget aswell! Great stuff! I fitted new panels to my BMW and sprayed them myself (first attempt at spraying) so with rattle cans, it actually came out looking factory with correct paint code&wide fan nozzles. BUT after 18months the whole thing crazed and peeled/flaked! Think the undetcoated Chinese panels might have reacted? But gutted (Upshot is i need to replace all/do it all again, so i feel your pain!)

[@soupclassicmotoring]

My bonnet crazed and it turned out to be the material that had been sprayed on it before I owned it was soft, so as my top coat paint contracted as it dried, it cracked. It's just like how a mud pit or salt flat cracks as it dries out. Thanks for the kind words.

[@stevehawley5618]

Nice idea for the bulkheads. A couple things to help you in the future: when you're cutting plywood, put masking tape where your cut line will be to reduce chipping. Also, even for little people, that plywood looks too thin. Best to put a couple strips of 2x to support them, but this is a good thing because you can also add fold-down legs with pegs to hold them in place when they're both upright and folded down.

[@soupclassicmotoring]

Reinforcing ribs are planned both for strength and to provide aeration under whatever mattress I put in. Thanks for the tips Steve

The metal lip and the neoprene were genius ideas. I always have to gag when I see the sealant fest on other conversions. Super thick beads to make up for the roof profile. Ugly as sin. Your solution is by far the best of dozens I have seen so far with the potential exception of a ready to use frame that was inversly shaped like the roof of the sprinter. But your solution is more flexible and looks really sophisticated and OEM. Great idea, whoever came up with it.

[@soupclassicmotoring]

One of those "why didn't I think of that" kind of solutions. The super thick beads of sealant give me the willys too. Not least because you don't often see someone checking that the sealant is UV stable. Thanks

It can me worked with almost everywhere in the van, it reflects heat back in and acts as a vapour barrier...

[@NemoConsequentae]

making progress there, George! I was thinking that some sandwich foam board or honeycomb board would work well & be lighter for the bulkheads. But then there are the disadvantages of having to buy it (more expensive than plywood), and working with plastic/fibreglass. The plywood is much easier if you don't have to save the grams! The skylight looks good, I was expecting you to build a brace around it like you did with the side windows, but perhaps the frame is stiff enough? You can check it, so you would know!
