Hi, good vlog! As a retired carpet layer. Here’s a little advice. When using Stanley knives, sharpen the blades with a sharpening stone. It'll save you a fortune. Also, if you cut your finger, don't use masking tape. Use superglue.

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks for the tips Henry

[@mkdons22]

Of all the van builds ive watched on youtube yours is the best shaun so helpful and concise. This series truly deserves to blow up viewers wise but who knows if the almighty YT algo will do

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@Archi3hunt3r]

I got recommended it!

[@Kirby392]

Mr. Do as I say not as I do. 😷

[@TheGwynneGazette]

Two coats of Dulux One Coat! That’s full on beast mode.

[@6581punk]

I had to do that when I bought my house. Former owner was a smoker and I had to scrub the ceiling with sugar soap and give it two coats of one coat paint so it looked good.

[@TheTuesday11]

You make this look so easy. It’s looking great

The van build is coming along beautifully! Well done Shaun!

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@Broxbhoy1]

Great videos, you have a new subscriber. As a total novice can I ask at around the 17/18 minute mark when you are screwing the batons on the roof. What are you screwing into? Also do you use normal wood screws or a specialist type of screw?

[@lottie2525]

20 minutes to do all that, amazing. I bet you wish it did only take 20 minutes in real life. It looks amazing, what a tidy job. Looking forward to the next video.

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you! 😊

[@barryloraine9028]

You haven't put in a vapour barrier which some other builders recommend. Any reason why not please ?

[@LoveSundays]

I put a vapour barrier in my last build but when speaking to dodo mat when I ordered my insulation they said it wasn’t needed.

[@barryloraine9028]

@@LoveSundays thanks for that

[@UKSTAGROSCO]

I’m currently copying everything you’ve done ✔️ hope it looks half as good I must of watched all these a hundred times ace vids spot on thanks buddy

[@LoveSundays]

Best of luck with your build mate

[@UKSTAGROSCO]

@@LoveSundays thanks Shaun

[@todds9746]

Have you ever thought of adding (if possible) a popup camper top to either of the vans? The extra space (bed) would be helpful as your kid gets older and wants to go camping.

[@bull996]

Just a quickie....I see you didn't vapour barrier over the fluffy insulation, is that OK to do? I ask because I am doing a build and didn't know if I really needed to or not?

[@LoveSundays]

I used the same insulation on my transit (the build before this one) and I out a vapour barrier on that one. Dodo mat who I got the insulation from said the liner insulation works instead of a vapour barrier.

[@gilbery007]

Adding in the vinyl flooring really brought it to life. Can't wait for next weeks electrical installation ;)

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@SecrePeach]

Brilliant tips Shaun, although the furniture is half already done and in storage I’m right at this point on the build so it was great to have a few extra tips be for the vinyl goes down 👍🏼👏🏼

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@Nomadickangoo]

Literally a better done version of my vivaro 😂

[@LoveSundays]

😂

[@ChrisTheSparky]

3:34 nice solvent hood really concentrates those fumes 😆

[@clarkspiemuncher]

should have used some gaffer tape over that opening on the column as it would have given some body for the carpet to stick to

[@LoveSundays]

Good idea

[@leeanaly]

It’s going to look lovely, I’ve got to ask what is the song you use in your videos, I can’t seem to find it, 👍👍

[@LoveSundays]

Which one?

[@leeanaly]

It’s on this video around 15minutes in, it sounds like there singing “I’m on fire” I could be wrong tho, 😂

Great to watch and valuable info on your conversion that I will be putting in to play on my conversion soon 👍👌

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@chriswallace7568]

Loving these videos as I'm doing a van build myself at the moment (a Vivaro) Just curious as to how you fixed the battens to the ceiling? I'm considering either nutserts or plastic screw rivets using existing holes in the frame

[@valveneul3958]

These videos are a Godsend. I make good money but am always worried about the future. Building something like this should bring me some peace of mind

[@bleakyfinder2692]

Solvent Spray, "do as i say, and NOT do as i do" sweet job Shaun!

[@neiljemmerson8826]

Instead of a Stanley knife use an old electric soldering iron you'll get a much better finish.

[@odie7764]

I've always wondered about a hammock as a budget bed option in a camper?

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

Vans coming along nicely Shaun, really taking shape. No draw this week for the Amazon voucher? 😊

[@LoveSundays]

No draw this week as I ran out of Amazon money but it will be back soon

[@karengodfrey6183]

Fabulous, coming along nicely 😀

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Just a tip for people wanting to do the same cladding and not have to pay for 20 slats.. It definitely takes 16 slats to go across a Vivaro and B&Q only do packs of 5 but if you have a local timber merchant (I went to Alsford Timber) they are happy to sell slats singly.

[@LoveSundays]

That’s great advice

[@maryjames7768]

Wow Shaun! It looks beautiful! I’m so impressed with your van building skills! Can’t wait to see the finished version! Excellent job! Looking forward to next week! Cheers!

[@daveburn3135]

Hi there, Loving these informative videos on the vivaro budge conversion. At the risk of being laughed at and being criticised by the keyboard warriors, when fixing the batons to the roof what size and type of screws did you use? My fear is going through the roof if I was ever to attempt doing something like this. 👍

[@LoveSundays]

The correct size screws I used are linked in the video description when I fitted the roof

[@troyslater043]

Hi mate! I’m thinking of converting a Vauxhall vivaro or Renault trafic myself soon. What screws are you using to screw through the wood to the metal? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@LoveSundays]

Everything I used in this video is in the video description including the screws

[@jdgamer3208]

You have a budget of £2000 but how much was the van itself? Loving the series, inspiring me to make my own

[@LoveSundays]

Keep watching all will be revealed

[@pradogxld4d]

Looking great mate. Cheers Matt from Australia 🇦🇺

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewhopper8700]

Hi what thickness wood did you use for your roof please?

[@jrewillis]

7.5mm - the link is on the description 👍🏻

[@MathewBoyes]

Hi how are you doing

[@davekingdfi]

These videos are amazing! I was wondering though, if you’re screwing directly into metalwork is there not a danger of corrosion over a long time frame? Or is it not as much as an issue as I think

[@LoveSundays]

I’ve never had any issues with crewing into the frame of the van. If your van is already Plymouth lined when you remove it you’ll see that the holes are a little rusty mainly on the floor but it very rarely causes any structural problems.

[@heatherbrailsford8428]

[@johnkeogh447]

Nice work When is part 3 ?

[@juniusvindex769]

About 10 years ago I converted a RM Convoy crew cab for my brother. The box section was filled with expanding foam after we found the box along the roof section contained the wiring for lights and aux power for internal lighting, we put in rock wool and it didn't stop the wiring rattling inside the section, so we used the foam and problem solved. That roof cladding is the same as I did, and was the hardest part of the build tbh, although we had a skylight and fan to go around.... excellent viewing 👍🏻

[@johnregan3591]

Nice one this is inspiring me to redo some stuff on my van.

[@LoveSundays]

Go for it

[@NathanGunny]

Where did you run the wiring for the lights from/to? Lovely couple of episodes these 👍🏻

[@LoveSundays]

Wires for lights ran down the middle of the ceiling across to the pillar behind the drivers seat and down to the floor

[@DaznEm525]

You done a great job so far on that build 👍 it looks fantastic 😊. Shame you didnt get the crease out of that wheel arch, you should of punched it out 👊😂. Loving these vids 😊x

[@petewilloughby2222]

Little tip for you, mate. Did you know that there is a wireless reverse camera helfords and Amazon do them. It's just something I learned after I did my bmw

[@jonstephens682]

Morning Shaun. Wow mate that vans looking good mate well done, don’t get the ceiling wrong mate because your dad will on your case if you do 😂😂

[@violicious]

Great idea to use the veltrim for the door cards and visible metal. I am currently adapting a previously boarded Trafic crewcab, and wondered how I could tidy up around the rear doors, so thanks for the idea. I look forward to part 3, and have subscribed :)

[@andypammenter8528]

Hi there, this is really helpful stuff but for the benefit of newbies like me, can you tell me what sort of screws you use to fix the wood to the metal please 😅
