Hi Adam I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but it might be a good idea if you put some waterproof sealant around those rivets on your roof, also if your going sleep in there you'll need ventilation otherwise everything that's in there will get soaked with condensation. With using a diesel heater a carbon monoxide detector is a must. Great video though.

Where would you put the vent?
@williamwatson381011 ай бұрын
I'd fit a max air fan in the roof and take out part or all the bulkhead and fit wind deflectors on the side windows so you can leave the windows slightly open without the rain getting in and create a airflow through the van.@@tallshort1849

More than likely sleeping with the side door open. Quick access to the rods when he gets a bite. But monoxide detector is a must.

You should have fitted rubber grommets for the cables to pass through the holes you drilled, in order to stop the insulation on the cables from rubbing through Adam.

Great project...you have skills for sure....with all sincerity please go back up top , drill out the pop rivets and fit a proper cable gland or grommets around those cables.....youre gonna have a fire for sure and a nasty water leak at very best until the cables short out on the body and catch fire....not being negative honestly..... a best friend would tell you this.....get it done fella....and enjoy your excellent hard work for longer...... tight lines

Great enthusiasm Adam but LACKING THE BASIC SAFETY FEATURES !! I didn’t see any over current protection devices ie inline fuses / circuit breakers connected in the battery/solar panel circuit . GROMMETS are a MUST when passing electrical cables through un -burred metal holes. You can find professional electrical tips on basic electrical practices on KZbin, once you’ve weeded out the RUBBISH. What you don’t want Adam is a van fire, caused by DODGY WIRING !! Best of luck.

As a couple of others have stated Please fit a carbon monoxide detector Only about £10 for a battery operated one could save your life and consider some sort of roof vent & floor vent as fitted in caravans & campers Looks pretty good as a basic fishing van .🙂

I’m definitely jealous 😂😂 I’ve got a 4 day session starting today I’ll be thinking of you warm in your van when I’m soaked and frozen 😂😂

I would run a split charge relay from the engine charging circuit, solar panels are OK for trickle charging but takes ages if the battery gets low

Couple of points you need to silicone roof it will leek like a twat lol 2nd point cables will rub on metal and short out IE FIRE 🔥 Wats bad in a van 3rd point roof vent 4th heater should av gone near back doors easier filling 5th when solar. Is crap IE winter you need a DC to DC charger from altonater to house battery when vans running it's free power Other than that it's miles better than a bivvy

Sorry my dude for being negative. If it was me doing this I'd have lined the sides floor and ceiling with sound deadening coating and some insulation. Sleeping in a van is cold at night buddy apart from that good effort.
