If your new around here where Jess and Jon and we love building tiny homes on wheels to travel the world! The trouble is that every kind of camper vehicle has things about them that make them brilliant and things that are a compromise. So we figured, seeing as we enjoy build them so much, we could build campers for specific amazing adventures. One thing that is on our bucket list it to travel in the 'real winter' to experience a proper snowy Christmas and everything that goes with it. So, we have set out on a mission to build the ultimate winter campervan. A van that can withstand, and keep us warm, in polar temperatures and give us plenty of space to feel cozy and comfy on the long cold winter nights. Enter our Sainsbury's (supermarket for our non-UK friends) delivery van. We figured that being insulated enough to be a refrigerator, it should be able to do the opposite and keep the cold out and keep us toasty and warm inside. It also has lots of other benefits too like being lightweight, and, the holy grail of van builds, being wide enough to set the bed width ways. So come with us as we turn this supermarket delivery van into our cozy winter cabin.

I've worked with these rear loaders as a supermarket driver. They get absolutely battered in their working life, clocking up over 100k in no time, driven up and down potholed tracks all day, to and from farms in the more rural areas. But if you've luckily found a good one then they're ideal for conversion.

To answer a few comments. They have minimal maintenance and lightfoot is ignored by most drivers so they get ragged. They're delivery vans, so they will usually be running all day 6am till 12pm 7 days a week clocking up far more miles than a tradesman's van for example.

Cracking Start on the new Winter Van Project. Having spent time under my 21 year old Sprinter Based Motorhome de rusting it over a week, it would have been really nice to be able to have full access to the top of the chassis rail and cross members as they are almost impossible to get to with the body in place. I was impressed with how well the underseal went on and I think that will be my next step if the Wife wants to keep the Motorhome after it's last adventure on the back of a tow truck. As it has had one too many breakdowns for her to be confident in it. It is still stuck in our layby waiting of our Local Mechanic to come out and run his diagnostic tool on the gearbox to see what the problem is.

@@truebluetravellers probably not cheap. It could be the control module or the electric pump that operates the selector for the manual box. Hopefully it is whatever is cheaper to replace. It is a great system till the van goes into limp mode or becomes a very heavy caravan without a hitch and the added bonus of an engine as steerage. That could be an option fitting caravan movers to it so I can at least get it back in to my drive.

Fantastic job looking forward to seeing the progress. Not telling you how to suck eggs but I’ve just converted a 4.2 tonne delivery truck living in Spain. Make sure any internal metal or aluminum frames have a good vapor barrier or covered with fabric as they condensate badly in the cold. Great video.

Thanks very much and not at all I appreciate the advice, yeah unfortunately I had to get the aluminium frame as I couldn’t get any plastic trim in that size but hoping the door seals do a good job 👍

The capping on your door/window holes would be better made of polyurethane or other plastic. Aluminium will let all the cold in as it allows the heat to bypass your insulation. Love the build, really good idea to use a supermarket van!

@truebluetravellers 9 ай бұрын
Cheers mate, yeah so a few people have said the same so I’ve done some research and from what I’ve found I think the best thing I can do is cap the aluminium on the inside to act as a barrier/insulator, job to do before we set off 👍

As a supermarket delivery driver i can agree with the other driver. These vans get seriously battered by different drivers. They spend many hours in the Mercedes garage being repaired.

Hi Matthew there’s been a few comments like this but can I ask when u say they are battered, how do you mean ? I understand they are not looked after like someone would there own can but what do the drivers do different to say a mechanic or builder or and chippy ?

Nice project, good luck with it. I wanted to do a Luton Loloader/Maximover, but they are much wider than a panel van and wouldn't fit on my driveway so had to settle for a panel van. :( These are great for conversions though because the back is square and framing it is straightforward. And as you showed, if you get one with a box made from GRP then they can often weigh less than a panel van. I've seen overweight ones but they had cast iron log burners and granite worktops lol.
