Making Wall panels with hidden lighting - Camper conversion - CC09

[@HasanAbulkeer]

cant thank you enough Lee. I'm trying to finalize my to go plan for converting. I was in lots of doubts until finding you which make me know now what i want in my camper. Big love and lots of thanks to you Lee. your Big fan from Saudi Arabia 🤍🫶🇸🇦

[@SpyderLEE]

Thankyou that’s great to hear 😁☺️

[@sjeffrey7971]

Another great video mate. I prefer the longer detailed videos on self builds especially when it's looking this good.

[@SpyderLEE]

Cool, thanks

[@fenriswolf039]

I could watch this for hours on end... great content.

[@StuGardener]

Great vid Lee. Don't worry about the length of video, was spot on. Some really useful, helpful tips! Look forward to the next one!!

[@SpyderLEE]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@budgetblinds89]

Love the longer more in-depth videos mate, really enjoying the build, can't wait for the next one already!

[@SpyderLEE]

Glad you like them!

[@Senrab46]

Looking good mate, interesting how you creating soft lighting behind the panels, also the extra carpeting will act like sound deadening as well as insulation! Lot of work for sure but enjoy your methodology. Thanks for sharing in such detail 👍

[@SpyderLEE]

lol yeah ended up a longer video than expected

[@JoanneB-w9e]

Hi mate, did you have to cut the mattress to fit into the corner near the rear light covers. I see in the video you said side to side in the recess it’s about 192cm but obviously will be less when you get in those corners. Your videos motivated me to buy a van and learning loads from what you have done. Keep up the good work, Steve.

[@SpyderLEE]

No mate. It just squished into the corners.

[@AXISUK]

Those side pods look mint 👍🏻

[@SpyderLEE]

Cheers 😁

[@linz_in_NZ]

Great idea with the bed brackets.

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks ☺️

[@gerrym4377]

Absolutely stunning work Lee! Love the topography panels 👍👍👍

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks wait until you see the rest of the van 😉

[@PaulHutchinson-e7y]

Great video Lee, loving how the build is coming along it looks great and also really like the longer videos. Keep up the amazing work 👍

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks 👍

[@ian_morg]

Looking smart! A nice mix of coverings but different to what others have done so makes it look fresh and modern.

[@SpyderLEE]

You wait until you see the ceiling for the modern touch 😁

[@ian_morg]

@@SpyderLEE Already seen it and commented on Instagram, loving the chevrons 😎👍🏻

[@paulcornwell8920]

Looking Mega Lee and great to see the progress and its inspiring with the longer video and explanations. Keep up the hard work dude.

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks, will do!

[@karlossmith3714]

Looking amazing! That blue piece you got that runs along the very back puller you could make a drop down section on that which would cover the door catches.

[@SpyderLEE]

That's a great idea!

[@roytaylor2727]

Got to say what a fantastic job your doing so far it's going to look the part your finished which I can't wait to see .

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks 👍

[@Nigel-vy1fk]

Looks amazing can’t wait to see it all finished

[@SpyderLEE]

Me too!

[@Edd90k_]

I do like it, only thing that looks a bit out of place are the rear windows. I’d have either shaped the ply to match the window frame shape or had windows with rounded edges. I’d also say, paint the frames black - that’ll blend them in and they may look better. Good work on this tho, good watch that was.

[@SpyderLEE]

I’m hoping I can wrap them black. It’s on my todo list for the end of the van. 👍

[@alandavies803]

Looking really good now. Love the materials and colour scheme you are using

[@SpyderLEE]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheSkyedoggy]

Great to watch ,but i would say i saw you using that non nonsense spray glue from screw fix ,i used that on my conversion an found that it was ok until mid summer when it got warmer an it started to come away an was tacky to the touch .I ended taking it all off an using the the high temp spray glue ,four years on an its never moved .Nice job your doing thanks .

[@SpyderLEE]

Cheers I’ll look out for that!

[@pennju]

Can't wait to see your roof rack install. I'm looking to use unistrut too

[@SpyderLEE]

I should be starting it this weekend as the spotlights arrived yesterday from auxbeam. 😁 photos will probably be on instagram before the video finds its way on here.

[@russrides1053]

Nice work, given me some good ideas for when I come to refit my ply panels I've too much carpet.

[@SpyderLEE]

Yeah for some reason I don’t like carpet in this one but it seemed fine in the vw 🤷‍♂️

[@lankyman1998]

Reinforce the bed brackets if I were you I’ve had to on my bed. The connection between the brackets and beam bends

[@SpyderLEE]

One is now in Permanently, I screwed it through the beam and the bracket into the wood.

[@lankyman1998]

@@SpyderLEEsounds perfect loving this project by the way you’re doing a wicked job

[@TheJohn316uk]

[@SpyderLEE]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@davecooper3429]

brilliant thanks for making this

[@SpyderLEE]

No problem!

[@bikerm123]

Another great video.

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks ☺️

[@Ledroo]

Cheers Lee! This video is long, educational and entertaining. I also prefer long format videos, but that also means less videos... Nonetheless, awesome progress on the camper and I can't wait to see the finished product. Have you already made your maiden voyage? ;D

[@SpyderLEE]

Still using the vw this one is still a long way off finished. Not going to take a maiden trip until it’s completely done

[@Ledroo]

@@SpyderLEE As you have told in the first video in this series, the new Boxer camper seems to be quite an upgrade compared to old v-dub :)

[@geoffreybywater518]

Looking well 👌

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks 😊

[@chadwick988]

Looking good that 👍

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks ☺️

[@Badjamin]

Great video - as usual. Have you considered spraying the window frames black or adding black vinyl to them?

[@SpyderLEE]

Thinking of wrapping them later. 👍

[@Bracebarian]

Its looking great. Where did you source the carpet and faux leather?

[@SpyderLEE]

Leather was from iwantfabric.com and the carpet was just random eBay 4 way stretch.

[@emorymathis5389]

Great Video! Everything is looking amazing. Was wondering if you can somehow paint or cover the white panels around the windows?

[@SpyderLEE]

Hoping to try and wrap them later. Will be part of the finishing touches at the end. 👍

[@davidlatimer2886]

Great long video

[@SpyderLEE]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kevinkeast9610]

Great video series, how are you attaching the wrapped blue panels to the van?

[@SpyderLEE]

Sticks like shit clear 👍

[@markgarner8574]

Hi , where did you get the quilted fabric from in rolls , and how much if you don’t mind me asking , Cheers Mark

[@SpyderLEE]

Iwantfabric.com. Can’t remember how much it cost. I bought 15m and got loads left.

[@cjmillar]

Love the build so for do u have a link 4 the hex leatherette? I'm doing some similar and yip it's the hex my drivers and passenger door cards are done in it and I was able to get match seat covers a bit pricey but worth it,

[@SpyderLEE]

It was from iwantfabric.com 👍

[@cjmillar]

Cheers man it's the same stuff I used 4 my door cards , waiting on a sample from Harrison trim as there 1 is £32 a metre but with real stitching

[@me-gb2wp]

Can I ask where you got the HEX EMBOSED VINYL Mate

[@SpyderLEE]

Iwantfabric.com 👍

[@ostwelt]

Abutting your bed to uninsulated metal on the rear pillars is likely to lead to condensation getting into your bedding materials. All-year and permanent CV-livers keep an air gap and obviously insulate all metal pillars to avoid this. If not with year-long habitation, especially with a high-sided wooden bed, leads to mould build up in the matress especially on the underside. Mould is never good. If your usage is week-ends stylie then dare say you can live with this. Presumably you aren't intending to spend the winter in the Artic! Enjoy the build format/YT coverage. Looks to be on track to be the van of your dreams!

[@SpyderLEE]

There is plenty of insulation there that you didn’t see me fit. Some people also like to go over the top. Some of these all year rounder people have only built one or two vans. I’ve built hundreds without issues over the years.
