Glad you’ve gone for a walk through cab. Makes life easy and if you get moved on or need to move on at night it makes life easy.

I'm disabled and I've worked at Glastonbury disabled camspite for almost twenty years. It's gettting harder for me now, and I would LOVE to get some custom small van like this. Absolutely no chance of me doing it, but I can dream. Love this content

Thanks 😁 we don’t appreciate how things we don’t even think about in life can be so much more of a challenge for disabled people, I used to service a forklift at a place that built aids for disabled kids, broke my heart every time but also so glad to see people are building things to help them access more places, I hope u get that van one day 👍

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.

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
@truebluetravellers Жыл 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 👍

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 👍

After cutting through sheet metal, twisting forces will accumulated on the corners and they will be released by cracking along the 90º corner. You should always round the corners on any sheet metal panel cut to dissipate those forces.

Oh sorry not sure I explained that well, the van weighed 2060kg once we removed the step and a/c unit, I think they weighed about 300kgs, but we did sell them on second hand so a few extra pennies to put towards the build 😁
