[@njhsm53]

What a lovely conversion, you've really thought out how to fit everything in yet not compromise on space, I've watch other people build van conversions and must say yours looks to be one of the best I've seen.

[@stefanp.7986]

I think it came out so good thanks to the size of the van also. They didn’t sacrifice a thing. All was made very nice.🎉

Looks a fantastic conversation. 👍

[@brianwilcock3980]

The nicest conversation I’ve seen

[@steb9210]

Nice looking and very well laid out van

[@pollypocketcamper4835]

Tell you what this has got to be the best lay out I’ve seen so far. That seat-bed is amazing! Loving the sliding bathroom door, has Callum got any drawing plans for that bad boy 😵‍💫 this van is genuinely gorgeous. Great job both of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Oneness1618]

you guys did an amazing job, those wheels look amazing for steels

[@darrenjb21]

Decent build and great video

Brilliant well thought out van, hope you never need to use that spare wheel! Good luck on your travels.

[@Bendover33379]

Great channel, great build, 👍

[@TheTommo2]

Lovely job very nice van 👍

[@felixstroud-allen6283]

You’ve done your homework and put a lot of thought into it. I impulse bought a 2 year old sprinter conversion and thankfully it’s got loads of the same stuff you have. Not sure where you are Now but the weather looks great. Just done 2 weeks in Scotland and had the the Truma heater on everyday.

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

There's so many aspects similar to my van. Awesome content

[@andrewpointon1669]

Wow, love your van, such a great conversion, thanks for mentioning the brands you use, i will definitely look at getting those front window covers for my T5, they look good quality. Just one thing, please don't leave your knives on the magnet when you are travelling!

[@adamshaw1032]

This bloke is a genuine gent. I bought his old crafter before he went. I’m converting that. Good to see you mate. 👍🏻

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thanks mate 👍🏼

[@marshy1950]

Well, I've watched lots of videos from the van builders and I think you might have thought of a few ideas that might interest them. I like the toilet aroma outlet and the diagonally laid 'wood' on the rear doors. You've thought out the 90°rotation on the cooker really well. I like how you've separated the living area from the bedrooms, apart from your son's bed, that is. You got a really fantastic one-off van and I think it's great! Are you planning to work whilst you're traveling? How long do you home-school for each day? Thanks for another excellent - I'll be calling you Bill and Ted next!! - vlog!

[@B4NNigoesfishing...]

Hi guys, met you right there in LaGranja D'Escarp, nice video about the details of your built, much respect, keep it up and always safe travels! Greetings, Hannes

[@ertuck]

Really interesting the way you have worked out the best configuration for the four of you. I know its not easy when talking to camera having to remember all you want to articulate with a smooth flow , but I have to give it to you both , 10 out of 10 for the very informative vid. Safe driving.. Eric....

[@TheMotoroamers]

Great to meet you guys. Enjoy Morocco. See you 'out there' another time. Karen and Myles,

[@Thecraftercrew]

Great to meet you too! 😊

[@AndrewJewkes-fb8or]

Brilliantly crafted 👌 Callum’s getting a lot more confident on camera 🎥 👍 keep up the good work guys 🔥👍

[@Baengyou]

...very nice! Greetz from Germany

[@tracymac1111]

Lovely Van 💕😊

[@andrewyuill7314]

I’ve just bought a 2019 LWB Crafter which myself and my dad are going to convert. The lay out I have in mind is very similar to yours however I’m not re-thinking it after seeing your build. My plan was to have a double bed lower down probably just above wheel arches and retractable double top bunk. When not in use the bunk will just look like a fixed single bunk but will extend out to a double. I’ve so glad I have found this video as I was a little unsure about some of the plans I had including the Truma combi boiler and the maxxair skylight fan and the dome fan in the toilet. Brilliant build guy's, if mine comes out anything like this I’ll be over the moon!

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thank you! Good luck with the build!

[@workshop4u566]

HI Good tour thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Cool video guys. Those dogs ❤

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thank you 😊

[@rollor]

lovely family vehicle ❤

[@nicolettefarby96]

This looks ideal

[@kuyagords]

Love it ❤

[@petermarley2831]

Another excellent video and what a cracking conversion! Top quality 👌. Where did you get the deadlocks fitted? Peter

[@PaulNurse1]

Amazed you managed to get everything in. That really is a micro home from home. Its a pro looking build. Q - how wide is your bed space in the crafter, like head to toe length?

[@domicellahuisman1471]

First I thought, the mother was the daughter, explaining the sitting area! The mother looks so young. Maybe it is because I am getting older! :) Very nice van, good ideas in it. I would choose the cave under the parents bed if I was a child. How cosy! And one can sleep longer in the morning. The bathroom with shower looks so nice and clean and stylish! Such a small van, but everything inside they need. Lovely. Please beware, that Jesus is coming back soon. Please read the bible and get right with God if you are not already. Greetings from Germany!

[@gupndors]

Great conversion, particularly like your curved bathroom cupboards. Did you make them yourself or did you buy from somewhere? We can't find anything as good as that to fit in our van.

[@davejkn1]

Great conversion guys, For a self build the workmanship looks really good. Made me laugh about the Orange tool box. Being a grease monkey myself trying to whittle down your tools to go in a small tool box, can see it now. yes that one nah not that one & so forth. 😉👍

[@garyhollywell2112]

You have both done a brilliant job of the conversion did you film any of it at all? Can I ask what you both did for a living? Have a great week I am really enjoying your Vlogs and your spirit.

[@jasonbiddlestone2716]

Great build and lovely van, do you have any videos of the build??

[@jorgeaceves2068]

Nice video just I found you channel so I have been bought one Crafter same you have but Orange color I'm going to convert it, I hope can find everything here in Canada greetings from 🇨🇦🙏

[@Thecraftercrew]

Good luck with the conversion 👍🏼

[@johnallen148]

Hi got to say I personally think you and your family are a perfect family you are one of the best on KZbin if you don’t mind me saying (Mum) you look so young to have a family but you are such a good looking woman,I love watching all your blogs so enjoyable you have done a great job of showing us around you home just love ,till next time take care and keep safe,John🌹🇬🇧♥️🌟🫂🫂🤫🙄🤭🫣

[@jacobcarton3961]

Quality build! Exactly the layput i want for my van! Where did you get the foldinh seats/bed from? 10:16

[@UOO303T]

Hello just subscribed love yr van very nice

[@emlou4009]

Love ❤️

[@valeriebridge7305]

Facing the oven that way is an excellent idea. Not only for space but safety. I see too many vans with the oven next to the bed for goodness sake! Otherwise great build. We'll done indeed.

[@Joey100T]

Hi Guys, love the van. It’s pretty much the set up I’m going to go for… I was just wondering if you’d had the van weighed? And if so what it weighed full of fuel, water and the 4 of you? Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@andrewmillerphotography]

Fantastic layout. Do you have much usable weight ?

[@UOO303T]

Incredible build guys did u do it all yourself x

[@Georgesadventure]

You guys did an amazing job with the layout but why did you go the self built route and not buy one of the European RVs that are wider and would have more internal volume since there's 4 of you?

[@daviddring8692]

Just watching your video. You mentioned swivel seats round to watch TV. Just wondering how you do that with your kids seats.

[@BoredDoingNothing]

Looks amazing ! Currently starting converting our vw crafter, the layout we have planned it pretty much the same which is nice to see. Where did you get your shower pan and shower walls from? Enjoy van life!

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thank you! The shower walls are tongue and groove hollow soffit can get it from most builders merchants. The shower pan is from a caravan leisure store, but I wouldn’t recommend it tbh! 😊

[@katieking6016]

Looks amazing. Can I ask where you sourced your double back seat which converts to a bed?

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thank you, Banwy leisure 😊

[@donnagoode708]

Thanks

[@philipwatson219]

Hi, where did you get the front chairs from that’s folds out into a bed? Thanks 😀

[@hanbizful]

Hello, with the seats in the back, have you screwed them into the floor of the van or into your floor? Do they need to be M1 tested? We are trying to work out how to install seats in the back. Thanks

[@hectoraquino404]

How much total cost

[@AdamDeSteCroix]

Thanks for this video, it's perfect. Great van. I'm looking to build my own. What is the wheelbase and height of this van please?

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thanks…it’s a LWB height is 2.7m 😊

[@jimswatman8271]

Your carbon monoxide alarm needs to be fitted at the lowest point in your van because CM is heavier than air. It does not detect CM high up.

[@billmartin1063]

Beautiful conversion 👍 Could I ask where you got single passenger seat please

[@Thecraftercrew]

Jennings seats…can be found online 😊

[@andrewnewcastle5333]

Would you have the room for a king size bed rather than a double ? What’s the width of the van for your bed / sleeping ?

[@chris.a9628]

Four of you staying in a van? That's so cramped. Ik sometimes things can't be helped but damn. I saw another van life video of and family of 4 staying in a ambulance type vehicle but yours is so much better

[@Thecraftercrew]

Kind of a back handed compliment…but cheers. It really isn’t too bad as we are never in the van 🚐

[@chrisnewell1]

Be great to knkw more re prices for people, i have self build my t5 but your van is for living in.

[@whu58]

Nice campervan guys, love the weight saving things you incorporated - All told what would the van & conversion cost me if I were to do the same?

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thank you! The total of the build including the van itself…around 35k! 😊

[@njhsm53]

@@Thecraftercrew That seems a really good price considering the quality of everything you've fitted to it.

[@Van_Si]

Great video

[@marcorossi5968]

Hey, what's your internal height in the cargo area? I'm a tall guy and I want to know if the Vk crafter has the right height for me with all the stuff and insulation. Thanks in advance

[@hanbizful]

Do you have links to your purchases? What length is this van? Is it an L3 or L4? Thanks

[@Aliacbanrafsanjarne]

Can I ask how tall the chap is please? I'm 6'1" and I'm concerned I won't be able to sleep laterally in a crafter like you guys do. Cheers

[@hanbizful]

Also what was your budget?

[@jdmc2890]

Briliant conversion!! Looking for somebody to point me in the right direction, as these lift up seats that convert into a bed are exactly what I am looking for. Does anybody know where you can get these from in the U.K? Thank you :)

[@Thecraftercrew]

Thanks! Yes we ordered ours online from Banwy leisure 😊

[@sultanhasrc9729]

Good jop👍 but,why is there not window bedroom,it s inside dark,isn t it

Hey guys is there a link for the folding chair. Van looks amazing.

[@user-sc2ds2ei1t]

Hi, been meaning to ask you for a while - what brand is the shower head you got from Amazon, and are you still happy with it?

[@philaddison9417]

Guys where did you get the corner bathroom cabinet.

[@Thecraftercrew]

Amazon 😊

[@ernestoclavijomunos6299]

Is l3 h2 ? Or l3 h3

[@margaretsweeney6268]

Where did you get your widows on the body of the van????.

[@Thecraftercrew]

Hey we got them from Van Demon based in Crewe. We totally recommend them.

[@renekoenes]

How does a bitumen paint stop stones flicking up then? How?

It just helps protect the tank

Seriously????? What kind of sleeping arrangements are this for children especially for the girl? And not for a weekend but" a journey of a lifetime"!!!!Harry Potter was lucky then, no? It is disgusting and should be labelled as child abuse. That place under you bed would be perfect for your lovely pet dog not for a child!!!!!!!
