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

Unfortunately, the overlapping door is on the outside and will not be waterproof. So there are a couple of ways to overcome that.

@GregVirgoe3 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.

I really enjoy your vids, Greg.Vicarious van-building before I start my own :-p I am curious, though: with the door on the outside, how do you plan to drain the water back into the shower? (I assume there will be a shower in the bath...)

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

Loving your videos. Your attention to detail is second to none. Did you make that fence for your saw yourself? The aluminium one.
