Awesome Campervan Conversion on a Tight Budget! Part 3

This Camper Van Conversion has been an ABSOLUTE MISSION for two Major Reasons. Number 1, we were on a very tight budget and number 2, l had a very narrow time frame to get it done by.
Having never done a van conversion before it was a massive learning curve with more twists and turns than something that has a lot of twists and turns 🤣
All up it took a solid five weeks to finish the van and l have to say that it turned out pretty nice.
I hope you enjoy it 👍😁
P.S. If you find some value in this content, you may want to consider a small donation to my Buy Me a Coffee Fund: bit.ly/3UXEoHK It takes a lot of time and money to make these videos so every little bit helps so that l can continue to make content for you guys. Many thanks in advance.

It brings so much joy to me as a father to watch Jack's expression. I am so happy to see you receive such a heartfelt appreciation from your labor. He obviously received way more than what he was expecting. I'm sure he drove home in disbelief with a giant grin on his face. The whole reveil was priceless. Jack is so blessed to have a dad such as you. Take care and pray for a speedy recovery from surgery. 👏👏👏

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers Alonzo....really appreciate the comment mate and yeah....l think he liked it 😁 A very satisfying project mate that will hopefully create some awesome memories for the young fella. Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍😁🇦🇺

[@task82]

Uncle Knackers!! Great job!! I'm a father of a young child and one of the worries I have, is the day I no longer see the big smile and her thinking I'm a superhero. Seeing your adult son have that same "my dad's a superhero" smile, gave me all kids of warm and fuzzies and restored my belief that there's still plenty more of those special smiles for quite a few years to come. Great job mate 😍👏👏🍻

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate! Really appreciate the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺

[@OpekiskaWood]

What a great Dad! I hope you at least got a hug from Jack. Loved the build!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate! Glad you liked it 👍 Jack was a little overwhelmed which was awesome...very satisfying project 👍😁🇦🇺

[@Bokooda]

Hello, I'm from UK and I've watched a lot of small van conversions over the last couple of years (and most of your videos too). Yours has to be one the most concise and easy to follow process from start to finish. Your woodworking skills and attention to the smallest of details are what make this conversion so neat and practical. You son looked a bit overwhelmed to see what you've made for him. A loving present from a father to his son. I'm sure he'll have loads of amazing adventures. Well done 🙏

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate....really appreciate the feedback and you're right, he was a little overwhelmed. He's a good young fella and it's always a pleasure to do something for your kids that you know they'll appreciate for years to come. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

[@anneoreilly4900]

That bed design is brilliant.

[@curtturtle]

That was really sweet seeing you guys going through the van. He's a very lucky guy to have a dad who would go to such an effort like that. Great series mate!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

👍😁...Thanks Curt! Appreciate the comment mate and thanks for taking the time to watch the series mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@muhammadbilalfazal2769]

Great build as usual. Hey Jack, Take care of your Dad buddy. We can never do enough for our parent, they deserve all the love and care. And don't forget to give your dad a big hug

[@diyforknuckleheads]

👍😁....Cheers Muhammad 👍😁🇦🇺

[@FixitFingers]

Mate! Dad of the year right there! I hope the old trotter is patched up and Knackers hasn't become Hobbles 😂

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂.....slow process mate so yeah, looks like Hobbles for a few more months to come.

[@SmallFryCreations]

What a great conversion!! Shane you knocked it out of the park and the joy of you showing Jack was so lovely to watch!! Such a great job!!’ Well done!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

👍😁 Thanks Ainslee! Seriously this was an all consuming 5 week project so l was wrapped / relieved that Jack loved it 😁😁

[@rmar127]

Good on ya Knackers, your young bloke looked stoked.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah mate, he loved it! Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

[@woodfather]

Driving off shirtless into the sunset, choosing a new beach every morning, sausages and bacon cooking while you're watching the waves, lie back on the bed in arms reach of the cold beers, your mates kicking around the place and talking shit cos none of you have any real dependencies or responsibilities just yet, what a life! 😁 Imagine being young again Shane! 😁 Great job, loved it all!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Mario....you have a way with words mate......oohhhh for those days!! It's so true though.....l don't think they realise how care free their lives actually are 😢 Case in point, they are all heading down to Byron in their vans this weekend for a couple of days surfing just because they can. Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺

Superb conversion, great vid and the first dad joke that actually made me laugh 🤣🤣On a serious note from a pom, what about the spiders you have over there, they will love those voids? Most poms are sh1t scared of the beggers, of course I am not, not at all.🕷

Shane you did an EXCELLENT job, man!! Hope surgery went well! Jack, get a couple of awnings for sides and back so you can have a front and back patio🙂

Cheers Rebecca and yep, those awnings will be going on shortly when the funds replenish 👍 Thanks also for the well wishes...much appreciated 👍🇦🇺

[@Nedswoodworks]

Bloody fantastic job Shane, I don’t think Jack liked it, I think he loved!!! You will have to put a bowl of lemons in the van for him to take the smile off his face. 😂😂😂. Well done again mate on an awesome conversion that I reckon a few people will already be planning. Cheers.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Much appreciated Dave 👍👍 It's the perfect van for a young bloke surfing up and down the coast. A very satisfying project mate and yes, lemons all round 😂

[@georgewinters3191]

Great work Shane, cleverly thought out , executed so well … Jack seemed gobsmacked with what you did for him 👍❤️😊 All the best with the foot operation hope your back on your feet and 100% real soon

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Glad you liked it Erik 👍 The drawer slides are awesome....very smooth 👍😁🇦🇺

[@mnumzanemadoda4900]

Great job , very well built creative storage solutions. Twin sliding doors a massive factor , the fan will prove invaluable. Jack better be ready to fetch/pass tools to you for an extended period.😁

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂....free labour...l like it 🤔 Glad you liked the van mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@tfwoodcraft]

Totally nailed this build, Shane! it looks fantastic, it seems extremely effective while still being simple, excellent use of space to maximize storage and you can tell your son loves it! That's a project to be proud of!

[@ashilling9283]

Divine. Form and function. That van is fantastic. Actually, because of the vibe that went into it, magical. Love it so much. Jack-that is one happy surfer, grateful because he knows how it was before the conversion. Bet he appreciates it often. I am imagining his friends saying, “no way, your Dad did this” when they see it. So cool. Hope the foot surgery healing is going well. You are amazing! Congratulations. Well done.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thank you very much 😁 Yeah Jacks a really good young fella so it was a pleasure doing this for him knowing that he'll appreciate it for many years to come.....as long ass he doesn't crash it 😂 Appreciate the good wishes too and thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

What a great ending to the journey, loved every second of this build. I initially thought you might struggle to fit into the short wheelbase van because you're both giants but it works perfectly. One of your best yet mate

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Louie....yeah mate, space was certainly against us but it worked out pretty good in the end. Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@barryroberts6470]

You did a Fantastic job on that Van Shane wow the look on his face was priceless, and i hope after the shock he said thanks and gave you a big hug which is what i would have done. You showed the snap of yourself in the hossy bed so i presume that the op went well and it wasn't too bad for you, i have warned you before about Base Jumping at your age😵🤕🤣 Have a great week and keep off that foot. Barry (UK)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂😂....yeah Baz, .I've gotta lay off the Base Jumping for a month or two 😂 Appreciate you as always for watching mate and you're right, he was a little overwhelmed which was great to see. Thanks for the good wishes as well....I'm going home in a couple of weeks which will be awesome. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

Nice build. 3 thing i miss. 1) a fold op table 2) somehow to raise the headend of the bed 3) 220v(or is it 110v down under) outlet for his laptop And i would have made the cooktop electric, now you have the solar panels

[@diyforknuckleheads]

All good suggestions mate but unfortunately we were hampered by budget and time constraints. Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

[@lechatbotte.]

A dogs breakfast? I didn’t see that on Blinky Bill. Gah foot surgery mate I trust it went well and you healed fast. That bed is amazing. You’re a good Dad. I need to use my router but I’ve moved recently and I’ve got no idea where my bits are. That drawer is so slick

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Mate, those drawers work so well! Having them lock is an added bonus 👍 The foots a work in progress....looks like its going to be a long haul but hey, there's lots of people a lot worse off. Thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺😁

[@Furball2k]

Love the recessed lights in the roof and all that storage is great! Forget renting an RV from Apollo again I'd prefer to have you build something out for my next road trip to AU. LoL The carpet on the wall is great for holding Velcro items and patches and bamboo mats are a super cheap way to catch the beach sand. Good luck with the foot surgery!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate and thanks for those tips re the bamboo and the velcro! The LED lights are awesome! Easy to install and they look great 👍😁🇦🇺

Did you outdo yourself Shane? I believe so! It turned out like a snazzy studio apartment! Jack loves it and he is so lucky to have an awesome Dad! What is up with your foot? I hope you get better soon!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Juliet! It was a ton of work but well worth it 👍😁 The foot has had a major makeover which is going to be a bit of a long haul to get back to semi normal but something needed to be done. Thanks for the well wishes. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

[@Daft_Plonk]

Do I have a van? No Am I getting a van to convert into a camper? No Do I enjoy watching Uncle Knackers making stuff? I certainly do! The build looks fantastic and your son looks well chuffed with the results, the whole series is nicely paced and explained like all your videos, looking forward to the next project! Quick question though, what is the yellow thing on your drill at 5:20?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

👍😁.....Cheers mate....glad you liked the series! The yellow thing is a countersinking tool. Once the ring stops spinning you have the correct depth for your screw to be countersunk beneath the surface. www.bunnings.com.au/macsim-fasteners-10g-x-65mm-clever-tool_p2360775

[@cliffwilliams3919]

Great van conversion. There is plenty of room for a young bloke. My query is with the solar charging point. The Grey Anderson plug will not plug into the Red Anderson plugs as the different coloured plugs won't plug into different colours as each one has a different keyway. You probably should change one of the grey plugs out with a red one on the lead. Cliff.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Bloody brilliant. Only thing I'd do different is find somewhere to stash a port a potty. At my age midnight toilet trips need to be catered for.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂.....l'm getting to that age as well mate! Glad you liked it and thanks for watching 👍 😁🇦🇺

You look amazingly like your 'grand dad'! Seems he was a funny fellow, like you. I think Jack was well pleased with his converted van! Great job! I do hope you are healing nicely from your surgery!
