VW CADDY MAXI VAN BUILD
An introduction to my new van which I am converting so I can adventure to new places to wild camp. It will have some new unseen ideas that will spill from my brain to assist in making this the perfect vehicle to travel in as a micro camper.

Wow, it's going to be fantastic, and I love how enthusiastic you are about this project! I've been researching vans for a few years now and have settled on the same VW Caddy Maxi as top of my list - perfect for one human, one canine out on the road exploring! I look forward to seeing the process!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Well I might inspire you with a few ideas😬

[@tomaszwozniak4343]

Exciting times ahead. Looking forward to the van conversion videos and new adventures to follow!

[@rachpwanders6095]

Congratulations on your new van and may you have many very happy adventures in it! Can't wait to see how you fit all of those big ideas into the conversion, we all know how creative you get with small spaces 😁.

Having converted a Caddy Maxi on a budget myself 4 years ago this is going to be very interesting. Wooden pallets are your biggest friend when you're on a budget, and stainless steel dog water bowls make great sinks!

Great find! Looking forward to the window blackout breakdown already.

[@thewelshnomad7094]

Its awesome youve joined the vanlife movement! So excited to see what you do with it! I Went full time living in my Vauxhall vivaro in December and I'm absolutely loving it! Did all mine myself spent whilst living in it, spent about a grand at the most, it's the foam cut and covered to make the /double bed that was the biggest chunk! Can't wait for the next episode 🙌

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I have the bed sorted😉. I bet you are loving the simple life mate👊

[@claudiakass]

I like your videos. I finaly found the right iso that i was looking for. Thanks for that ( in your other video). I tip for a shower : Buy a small dog pool (there some foldable ones). those have also an outlet where you can just spill the water back in a bottle after . As a Shower Curtain you can buy some of those cheap foldable or with springs Tubes. for putting leafs and cutted grass.. put the pool inside and around you have that gardening thing.... and to have pressure you just need to fill your mix of warmed water and cold into the "Handpump Pressure" Bottle ( for use to spray chemicals) ... This way you just stand. or sit in your shower and can hold the Pump Pistol above you :). Later take all the water back and everything folded back in a small box . Works fine and warm inside the "tube" :)

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Interesting thanks. I’ve a solar shower which works pretty well but a stream usually does the trick

[@philpoole5670]

Myself and hubby converted a van. Loved it. Want another go lol.

[@maggi666]

Good luck All. As a woman who enjoys diy designing and bedcover designs that i also make for us and some family members and friends, i understand your pride. I redesigned every room in our home for redecoration and upcycling 30 yr old wardrobes and dresser, etc. We carried out all the work ourselves in our now early 70s. In fact, i redesigned the decor in our large conservatory just this last week, and now we've almost finished it. Ppl who see it all are in ore of my designs and Terrys and my decorating skills. So i get you 100 %. Enjoy every minute All, and be very proud of your creations. We all have our unique talents naturally. Proud of you! I actually designed the conservatory, with Terrys acceptance 8 yrs ago. The ppl building it said my design would work. When they saw it coming together, the appologised and said it was amazing and could they take a pic for their catalogue. As they draughted the design for me, i agreed.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s the design and build I enjoy the most. Many of my ideas won’t get used but I love making my brain work to overcome problems. You obviously love it too😬

[@maggi666]

My goal would be to drive around Europe and go for hikes and ofc in my own home country of Sweden, there are some epic trails here for sure and in Norway.

[@themischristoforou5880]

That's brilliant idea! Looking forward to seen the whole thing come together! One thing i will just make you aware of, is to change the cam-belt on a second hand vehicle ( unless you have genuine proof of a recent change) because if that snaps it will mean a new engine!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes definitely. It was done about 5k miles ago luckily👍

[@paulhulley5969]

Good on ya, I’ve got a Peugeot Bipper I converted myself a few yrs back and it’s a game changer, park it in the tightest of locations and get me head down for the night, good luck on the conversion 🥾⛰⛺️👌

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Paul. A small van definitely has its benefits 😉

[@janeevans4758]

This will be interesting as I researched vans for the exact same use,its taken me just shy of 2 years to get one that suits me. I ended up with a mpv citroen berlingo multispace. Removed the back seats completely and did the Same as you have regarding insulation etc. I made my blinds with black out fabric, insulation foil and felt as I wanted to ve able to roll them up for ease of storage. I made my single bed but made underneath storage ,3 sections and the bottom foot buy the back door I put extra wood on sliders to make my pull out kitchen that opens out on top of itself to make a usable big cooking and prep area,also the top of the bed folds up so you can access the kitchen from above aswell & storage, front & about. I put the same sized board on top of the bed part on piano hinges so that it opens out into a double bed.as everything I need storing is beneath my bed I have a load of space inside incase of rainy days etc. I also have solar and have put a inverter in so that I can use the fridge,which is also underneath my bed. I have a small table and also have made a small fold out one for the outside of the door in the summer. I've got a chair hammock that can hang in the door way from the side, I use self inflating mats for the bed mattresses as they fold away minimal. I have a curtain on a small track that goes across the bulkhead would be area as well as blinds as it just encloses it in more.i have a simple fold out loo,i use cat litter pellets! Brilliant. I have all the usual usb and electric/heater and all run off solar or power pack.cooker is gas and i can also warm things up in my fridge as it can heat aswell as cool 👍.Still.lots to do so looking forward to see what you do,p.s don't forget your fire extinguisher or blanket.also I have a flip up boot so it enables me come the summer to use it to full potential and use a portable shower and set up a small seating area.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes that’s pretty much everything covered. Thanks. It’s exciting designing it all and coming up with solutions to the problems 😬😬😬

Awesome. Been wanting to convert a van for so long, and so looking forward to this project with total and absolute interest. It's been on my mind for a very long time and I have so wanted to do a van conversion for this spring and summer adventures. However, I will still continue to do my amazing mountain summit tent camps as the views from the mountain summits cannot be beaten by anything. Loads of adventures abroad I still want to do this year like Basecamp Everest. The famous hike to basecamp Everest covering some of the most beautiful and (incredible terrain ever) and on wire foot Bridges and the most amazing mountain backdrops ever. Love your videos Al mate and this project going to be a winner. Most outdoors people want to do a Van conversion it just adds to the adventure in this country and abroad.. Kidest regards.... 👍👍👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the upcoming videos. I’ll definitely be putting my design ideas into them. It might inspire you to take the plunge. 😂

I made flexi black outs for my c3 Picasso insulated with a nice green chenille on the inside. Made the flexi to help with easy storage. I was chuffed with myself too 😆. Think I must be the only Picasso with them and be the only one nuts enough to sleep and carry my kayaking stuff in. Can’t afford a van at mo so my car does the job for now for me and my dog. Look forward to all you do

[@sugarloafoutdoors7601]

Looks great Al, love watching other peoples perspectives on converting vans. We used the GoalZero Yeti to power ours and it has been great. Also gives you that 240v off grid option, obviously you have to be carefull on usage. Been thinking about getting the Ecoflow 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel, because of the roof tent, a roof mounted solar panel doesn't work very well. P.S. Good tip for roof tent, we installed the dodo mat 6mm vehicle insulation on the floor and made a huge difference on heat loss through the bottom when sleeping on it.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes a portable solar set up will be great once camp is set up. I won’t be using my roof tent though. Although could be an extra bedroom if needed😬

[@badgerspaw]

I have a defender 110 which I love as it allows me to explore anywhere legal, kitted as a basic camper. I have curtains at the moment, so I like the sound of your blackouts and look forward to more info. I’m sure I will be copying some of your ideas! Ps a small 2 kw diesel heater is an absolute game changer for winter use.

defo worth a good ponder over is either making the solar easy remove or just have it not fitted at all, with these things you really willl get more out of them if you can change angle, and direction, especially in uk winter

[@Flowerpoweredoutdoors]

Great choice of van❤ and that really is a bargain! I have a caddy too same age and mileage though not a maxi and it’s my work van so I just throw a mattress in the back for stealth camping and normal camping… it’s great to drive and everything’s sorted but sadly I have to sell it because I work in the ulez zone… gutted 😭 my other van is a vw t2 50 years old and is bizarrely ulez compliant ! But it’s a rust bucket and will be selling that to fund an up grade to a euro 6 caddy maxi. So I’ll be watching your conversion journey! Top tip is to use it as a camper right now so you can work out what you really need. I like the idea of a minimum build portable solar electric system… saves on space and money and effort!

I’ll keep it simple so it’s easy to manage when using it. You’ll have to do a conversion 😉

Looks great from the outset, mate. Hope it goes well for you. We've had VW'S and Audis for the last 30 years. Total reliability for the 1980 - 2000 years. Our last four: Golf's, Polo's, Passats and TT's have suffered from the common VW family faults. Water leaks into the cabin, door locks failing (got one gone on our TT at the moment) electric windows dropping into the doors, (windows are supported on plastic runners which perish after about 8 years onwards and the windows can just drop without warning). Some of the 2 litre engines have high oil consumption, always had to take oil with me when I went to the Lakes to top up prior to coming home, all ours were petrol too. ABS sensors can be fragile too. All easy enough to fix though. Gone Japanese now, Mazda 6 estate, everything works. You'll be fine!! Ozzy, Gloucester.
