Great video Karl, I have one of these swivels on order and wondered about the height. A shame it is the only swivel base available for the Custom currently but you work with what you can get I guess. I have learnt from a few of your neat ideas and your download was helpful too. Thanks for putting these out there.

Nice looking conversion and a good idea with the passenger seat, I hated the fixed double in mine and decided to replace with a single, expensive but worth it for us. Have you ever contacted the manufacturer of those seats about that little mod, surprised nobody hasn’t had a serious injury with that. I remember you making that mod on previous conversion.

Just stripped my seat out and cut 65mm off the bottom of the legs ..be warned the factory welds are a pig to grind off and the seat design on this looks a wee bit different to my 2016 and it was a nightmare cutting the one angled bend tube to suit. 3 hours later and yes amazing difference. Make sure you are competent enough to carry this job out . The side plastic trims will need to be cut down too .

Did the same with my double seats and cut the base down to bring it level with the drivers seat. You can move the back seat support by about 5 degrees - there are 3 torx bolts hidden inside the foam that can be slackened off and then tilt the back and then tighten it back up.
@jamesgreen15612 жыл бұрын
Going to have to look into this! Always feel sorry for my wife on long trips being sat bolt upright! When you say hidden in the foam, is it accessible or do you have to take the backs of the seat off?

R&R bed and swivel seat, the first two things to get. My bed didn't have any of that. The Vivaro is a better van IMO and older vans are better too, mine is an 08.

Hi Karl I’m about to chop my seat to make it lower ,iv just checked my KAD system and was wondering ,if you cut 65 off the front how much did you cut of the back to get your nice angle , and how did the swivel work after leaning it back . Thanks Karl loving the videos hope to see more soon 👍👍👍🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦

Hi! Great video. I have just installed my swivel base and I am having the same issues! I was looking at cutting the height down but can’t work out how you retain the front metal trim and the 2 plastic side trims as the seat will be lower and these will no longer fit? How did you overcome this please? Thanks. Tim

Hi. I have enjoyed watching your campervan build videos and saw that you used C&H campers to fit a pop top to a Ford Transit Custom. I have a Ford Transit Custom which I want a pop top fitted to and am considering who to use. Would you still recommend C&H Campers to fit a pop top, as they have mixed reviews online? Thanks. (I’ve also emailed you via your website in case you do not see this).

No I wouldn’t. The pop tops are ok but they are useless

I want to cover the underside of the bedboard (ceiling of living area) with vinyl only I don't know what width of vinyl I need to buy. Many thanks in advance Roy

A rib bed us much better. Access to underneath the bed is better. More rear storage at the back. More flexible in design. You sleep on the flat side and sit on the other side which is contoured like a normal seat. More expensive but very much worth it.
