You're a life saver sir, thank you. I'm making a mud kitchen for my son, for Christmas, and I could not for the life of me find a hinge that would do the job for the cupboard doors on the front of it. The hinge you suggested, the flush fitting cranked hinge, is perfect. Couldn't find it anywhere else. Cheers :)

That's fantastic, concentrate your efforts on making the living area spacious and comfortable as you will spend most of your time in that area. Personally I think a permanent bed setup in my own preference is you have a LWB anything shorter than that then go for seat that make up Best wishes with your build and give me a shout if you need any advise

Hello from the USA! Greg I must say every part of this conversion is top self! Your choices of materials and supplies are equally great! You will have, in the end, a conversion that will rival a super high-priced van from a conversion company, at a fraction of the cost, and have all the equipment and amenities you want! Is a win-win for you! Thank you so much for sharing your build. My Promaster build has just began and I am in no hurry to finish mine so I can learn as much as I can and design my conversion exactly the way I want it to work for me. Your video production is top notch and your step by step explanation of each portion of your conversion is very helpful. Can't wait to see the next video. Only wish I were in the U.K. to come to the meet you talked about. Will find one here in the USA. Thanxz

I had those hinges on my old wardrobe many moons ago......I’m glad you mentioned about cutting the trim about 1mm longer so you can push it into the other end and then flatten it all out...this is a good reason why you do all trims like that, in weather changing hot and cold the rubber seal can open up/shrink which will leave an unsightly gap....also always cut the joint at the bottom of doors etc...

Like the pace at which you work and attention to detail. Cannot motor across the Atlantic to attend Camp Quirky unless the remodel includes amphibian design.

Hi Greg! I really enjoy your Videos! I was wondering how are you going to make the door of the shower waterproof? Do you think will the trim keep the joint leakproof while taking a shower? Regards
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 6 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, the overlapping door is on the outside and will not be waterproof. So there are a couple of ways to overcome that. Fit a bi-fold door internally to close off the opening or simply install a shower curtain across the shower door that allows water back into the tray We are installing a shower curtain as this is the easiest to source and install.

@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe Жыл бұрын
I used strong magnets in the end. Because there is a design flaw in the push button catches where they get stuck and can’t open it

tip, anywhere water may get to a raw edge of laminate board you can seal by rubbing silicone along with your finger. also cut edges of worktops

I found there was a design flaw with push button catches and in one orientation they don’t work so I opted for simple magnets and handles.

Have you got any advice for managing to cut this plywood laminate by hand (jigsaw) without getting splintered edges????
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, if cutting with circular saw use a laminate blade which has a high tooth count 80 teeth is what you need and a good make is Freud. For jigsaw again a laminate blade new and sharp. Use masking tape on your cut lines. Don’t try to go fast as that increases the chance of chip out. Both types of saw normally cut upwards so have your good side facing down so any chips are on the back and will not be seen.

Better when tracing shapes to use a disc 40mm dia with a hole in the middle. Put a pen in the hole and you have an instant 20mm offset scriber

@GregVirgoe

Hi Steve, the way this is dealt with in most camper builds including professional motor homes is to have a shower curtain that you can pull across the inside of the door. We have done the same in our shower room. Video out soon
