Supermarket Delivery Van to ULTIMATE Winter Campervan: Van Build Part 1

[@leejohnson3209]

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.

[@truebluetravellers]

Yeah it’s hard to find any commercial vehicle that’s not had a hard life hey, 🤞 she’s a good en

[@tomhornsey9738]

Compared to other used vans, supermarket vans are probably some of the best kept with the black box that penalties you for speeding or revving too high and the good maintenance schedules

[@truebluetravellers]

@@tomhornsey9738 I totally agree Tom 👍

[@martycrush6412]

Like every van does then..

[@leejohnson3209]

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.

[@crunchyfrog555]

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

[@truebluetravellers]

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 👍

[@truebluetravellers]

Sounds brilliant, we’ve got that job to do soon so fingers crossed it goes ok! Thank you 💙

[@denisescally7090]

Ths is thone I've been waiting for. They sell these near me for a stupidly low price. You say they are good for the Arctic but equally good for hot countries too 👍

[@truebluetravellers]

Thanks 😃 they are so much cheaper than panel vans aren’t they and yes like you say the insulation would work great both ways.

[@Stuntman175]

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.

[@cjsutcliffe]

By cutting the hole in the back of the cab and through the strengthening box sections you have compromised the strength/safety of the cab shell. Hopefully, you will put some bracing/structure back in to compensate? As it stands the cab is effectively a box with no ends, it's not going to be great in a rollover/hit from the side...

[@truebluetravellers]

Yeah got a frame put in so she’s all sweet now 👍

[@Simon_W74]

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]

Oh dear not good news mate, I was wondering how u we’re getting on the other day, 🤞it’s a cheap simple fix

[@Simon_W74]

@@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.

[@leecurry14]

Since seeing this van conversion last night, today I've become obsessed with it, this is something I really want to do, been scrolling past these fridge van's thinking nope no good, but now seeing this I'm thinking omg these are going to be the next rage of conversions, just think how much more there is to see when sitting that bit higher up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@truebluetravellers]

Thank lee, I think they make a cracking camper, and compared to panel vans they are so much cheaper, I can’t believe how much more space u get inside due to the square walls too, One of the negatives I would say tho is they don’t have a/c

Cold bridging with alloy door frame can be a problem when very cold . Condensation on inside door frame, can freeze up to alloy .

[@truebluetravellers]

Hi Harvey, you make a great point here, we really wanted plastic trims (like the ones we’ve put on the rear door and crawl through but we just couldn’t find them. Luckily the ali will only be in the gas locker and on our side door which won’t be in any cupboards or anything so shouldn’t cause too many problems 🤞

As a current Sainsburys driver, its interesting seeing you converting this particular van. You mentioned you was going to paint the van, which im looking forward for you to do, but have you considerd wrapping the van?

[@truebluetravellers]

Thanks Daniel, yes we did consider wrapping and I think it would of been a good/cool option for the look for the outside, but as we need to paint the inside too we thought it’s best to just paint the whole lot in one go 👍

[@truebluetravellers]

Cheers mate 👍

[@DavidFegent]

Do check that your fuel tank really is big enough. Sainsburys had tried to increase payload by half filling the fuel tank with a foam section, so it could only be filled half with diesel, saved 40kgs. A custom fuel tank behind the rear wheels will increase your range, and better distribute your weight, the front axle is very close to its maximum permitted weight even when they are empty.

[@truebluetravellers]

Cheers David, yeah someone mentioned that yesterday so I tried to check with Mercedes with the part number on the tank but they couldn’t tell me how big it was, I’ll just have to fill it up and see what size it is 👍

[@chrisb2443]

[@TheOneAndOnly10000]

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]

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 👍

I used to drive those sprinters they drive okay I did find the ride smooth the auto gearbox was a bit stupid sometimes though (you put it in reverse and it goes in neutral so you have to go back to drive then reverse again) it had no guts on hills You have to slam the cab door shut and if your changing a headlight bulb it’s pain in the arse (specially the little DRL)

Hi I've removed the box and now building my own after removal I weighed the truck it came in at 1720kg😊

Brilliant, they are a bit tricky to drive without the box on tho hey, it just spins up on my gravel drive 😂, I remember u saying u had bought one to do, I’d love to see your progress as you go if you don’t mind sending photos, what sort of box are you building? Grp, steel, aluminium, pop top ?
