I Built My Own Ford Transit Campervan - DIY Conversion Tour

[@deathbystereo-]

congrats to your parents for the van

[@Wandering_Blue]

Hey 👋🏼 my parents defo helped with technical (mainly electric and plumbing) advice but the project was 100% built and funded by myself and my partner. Young people are capable of all sorts when they’re not commenting on other people’s lives on the internet dude.

USA here .... Awesome, awesome build. I love the placement of the "wetroom". I too do not like the idea of the electricity near my sleeping area. Totally jelly ...... Much Peace/Love to y'all. Stay safe....🩵💚💛🧡❤️💜

[@rjw6487]

Love the design! About the bed building process: To be fair you need to add the time for sheets/topper and blanket in the evening / morning. 🤫 All in all: great! - Only one problem for me: The steering wheel is on the wrong side. 🥲. Best from Germany!

[@boatingmanchester]

Excellent build that young fella very talented

[@hesterm1976]

Really great looking van, love how you planned/designed it specifically for your needs. The electric ‘bit’ of van conversions blows my mind.

[@CamperVan-K]

Hi there wandering blue, I didn't catch how you heated the van. With winter coming, that's going to be important. Brilliant build though, well done. Kaye

[@Therealdeal5698]

Van looks great, youve done a brilliant job. I agree with you on the bed front..... Now get out there and enjoy it 👍

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thanks so much! Love comments like this

[@alexbrowne3950]

Looks great, excited to see your adventures in future vlogs

[@marygallagher6262]

Great job , enjoy your adventures.

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thanks very much!

[@hi0-045]

Amazing! Love that worktop. It all looks great. Enjoy. ❤😊

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thank you! 🤗

[@paulbentley1615]

Great job. You never went into the cost though....?

[@travellingDAS]

Awesome.. until you got to the ‘wet room’. I guess if you’re using this mostly for surfing and need somewhere to hang gear to dry then it is useful but not having any other use for that space, given the great design elsewhere seems a bit of a waste of effort and space. I’d make use of the doors and a bar to hold them open as hanging/drying space for wet gear, it doesn’t take long to dry or at least have a proper shower.

[@Wandering_Blue]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ZainAli-dv6gy]

awesome build, well done

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thanks very much!

[@azhar158]

Congratulations for all the hard work. i am thinking for camping and this idea excites me a lot, only thing i am wondering how you guys or any other campers solves the toilet issues

[@outdoorsummiteer399]

Wow, amazing , your one clever person, well done , resin. Be nice on the work top

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thanks very much! The gaps are filled with epoxy and it's all sealed in with worktop oil :)

[@seththedog2692]

Love that! My ideal van.

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thanks so much!

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Ive spent an age debating on bed types as im 6'4 and cant fit widthways but what puts me off of a sliding bed is although it only takes a few seconds to open it, you then have to make the bed. Put the sheet on, store the quilt somewhere which takes more space, pillows etc. So a sliding bed isnt for me. Its all personal i suppose and if it works for you thats all that matters. Great looking conversion though 👍

[@Wandering_Blue]

That's the beauty of there being so many options out there! Enjoy your conversion

[@robertfletcher16]

Elevator/lift bed

You're so clever it's amazing ❤

Great ideas! Great job!

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thank you!

[@harrycandlish7998]

Congrats! I like how open the space is. I'd be interested to know what you would do differently if you could do it over again

[@anthonymckernan2536]

Fantastic van well done

[@paulstone2854]

Great van

[@hollybaldwin2752]

Hey, thanks so much for the content! what year was the van? And how much did you end up selling for? Could really do with hiring you for our build!

[@charlevoix418]

Get back to us in a few years about the experience of doing the bed two times a day!

[@Wandering_Blue]

Will do! 😂

[@lizdewsbury5556]

Love the conversation

[@vixie72]

Cool van 😎

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thank you!

[@jonathanmchugh5978]

What a fantastic van. One of the best I have ever seen and I have watched a lot. May I ask and sorry if you have already said in previous videos but did you build yourself and if so how much was the whole project??? Many thanks & happy travels.

[@Wandering_Blue]

Thanks very much @jonathanmchugh5978, really glad you like it. I'm honestly not 100% sure how much the whole process cost but I think it was something like £6-7k

[@jonathanmchugh5978]

@@Wandering_Blue well well done you. I’m a new subscriber. Good luck

[@Samuelkonetsky]

What insulation did you go for. There’s so much head room in your van and I’m looking to get one

[@loraineashton4899]

Well done it suits you so ignore the neg comment think its fantastic you should be really proud .Enjoy ❤

Love the van very unique setup! Random one, but does it have factory fitted a/c in the cab?

[@Wandering_Blue]

It does!

[@Big_AL_Nowitzki]

Not having a fixed bed makes so much sense

[@1disturbedjunglist]

What transit model is this?

[@Wandering_Blue]

Hi @1disturbedjunglist, it's a Transit 350 MK8 H3 L3

[@kevinwatts9679]

how much did it all cost?

[@Wandering_Blue]

Including the van i think I'm up to about 17-18k. Electrics alone were 2.5k!

[@walsiaasian2081]

No toilet ?

[@Wandering_Blue]

Not a permenant one, no.

[@harrycandlish7998]

Would you recommend this layout for fulltime vanlife?

[@Wandering_Blue]

If I was living in the van full time, I’d go with a fixed bed 👍🏼

[@ricky450f]

Just subscribed too 👍🏼

[@ricky450f]

Love it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@FOOTBALLBALDSTER]

Fantastic video and conversion, fascinating insight, the electrics are a big interest to me as I sell these parts for a living, is the inverter a modified or pure sign wave? Ps ignore the jealous idiot from you’re comments, it’s all a huge credit to you

[@mariasilvaoliveira7687]

Muito lindo parabéns.

[@Wandering_Blue]

Obrigado ❤️

[@andrewwhetton7]

great van but wouldve loved a shower in it that would be the complete van

[@BotaFaCose]

15 sec bed without putting on/taking of blankets, duvet, and storing pillows… plus: it’s not a real mattress, a couple “sleeping” together 😇 will fall in the holes between those parts… And also: bed in that position blocks the passage… bad layout imho.

[@Wandering_Blue]

Valid points but this works perfectly for what we need it for dude. Would love to see your setup! ❤️

[@TheSateef]

15 secs to make the bed isn't realistic because you still have to out the sheets, duvet, pillows etc on. up to you of course but i'd prefer a permanent bed

[@Wandering_Blue]

True! The extra room is worth it for us but everyone is different
