VAN BUILD Time Lapse From START TO FINISH | Tiny Camper Van Conversion

[@MrPavillion2]

Probably the best conversion i've seen...it's a shame to call it "homemade" 'cause you did a pro work!! Functional and rational!! Well done man!! Enjoy It!!

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks! 🙏

[@yogendrachetty3834]

My name is yogi and I approve this van build

[@rudigerp.5694]

Der Typ ist ein Profi. Tolle Arbeit.

[@judyh3017]

That bed! Genius! Many other nice features, too.

[@alanjackson4646]

Great idea making the units easily removable with the turnbuckle fittings. AJ

[@chrisbardell]

What a brilliant build. Thanks for documenting.

[@CalvinRRC]

Thanks for making this series. I'm basically copying your build for the basic layout of my own NV200.

[@noraes2258]

Hi James, great video mate! Just the right amount of visual information and some truly great ideas (like the ceiling net - love it!). I know I'll be coming back to your channel to watch other videos. Thank you!

[@johnwillem9697]

The best and simplest 👍🏼 that’s How i want it too👍🏼

[@AlLomonte08]

So glad I stumbled on this! I purchased a NV200 recently and plan to follow suit (albeit with personal mods) keep on keepin on Lens of James!

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, good luck with the build!

[@petert9465]

You're a genius, well done!

[@thedoubledragon]

Amazing build! The floor work, insulation and carpeting is professional. From the video, it looks like that how the NV200 should come out of the factory. 🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾

That is skilled craftsmanship, mine will never be that nice. Thank you for sharing!!!❤

[@mikkikas6821]

That's a LOT of work!! Beautiful! You can definitely be proud of that!

[@louisec3882]

What an amazing guy. You are a genius to do all of this!!! Wish you could afford to hire you!!!!👍😁

[@VJIX]

Hey mate, I loved watching your van build videos! I hope that you keep making videos no matter what you move on to.

[@CBAmakingAusername]

Amazing. Your so talented.

[@CarlosLopez-mm9ug]

Gracias por compartir tu ilusión y trabajo. Saludos desde Madrid.

[@bambihargrove6499]

Awesome Build

[@jkabholat]

You are an incredibly handy person.

[@rogerpedrosa1854]

Wow this is nice set up✌️

[@keenothang]

Cool set up ... I like the carpet... a lot of folks build and add a lot of weight this was a cool little build

[@eirenwhelan3312]

Putting the Aluminium insulation down first actually has the opposite effect. Any heat just conducts straight though. It’s meant to be used on the inside as a vapour barrier, not touching the metal outside.

[@LensOfJames]

Has worked a treat for me 👍

[@Bonyarms28]

I agree, a vapor barrier is what's called upon to keep condensation at bay! Cheers !!

[@LensOfJames]

It all depends on how you use your van, I don't sleep in mine more than 30 nights a year so condensation has been a problem with the methods used. Check out my my recent van build review video, where I do an insulation check: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZXFi4l3bc1ji6c

[@jatorresrv]

AWESOME! As I prepare to build out a vehicle, your channel has been a go to for ideas, vision, and instruction, as your creativity, attention to detail, and willingness to share are absolutely incredible and very much appreciated. Thank you!

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks for the lovely comment!

[@onicmardi7447]

looks great, I have a nv200 and would love to do something like that. great job

[@aengus.l]

So many ideas I’ve never seen before, fantastic work

[@oliverwood8932]

Pretty sure you have the skills to be a carpenter by trade! Some lovely neat and well thought through work here!

[@MyWonderingSpirit]

Thank you for sharing, this is awesome very professional looking. One of the best I have seen. Enjoy

[@peterkerr164]

Great work!

[@jerrry6868]

Wow great job and awesome video held my attention from start to finish

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@vegoutbeets]

Your videos have been SUPER useful for me, as I'm in the process of converting our little NV200 too! We're about to do our first trip to test it out (even though it's barely half way finished). Fingers crossed my bed build doesn't fall apart mid trip! :)

[@LensOfJames]

Glad you're enjoying the videos, hope your trip away goes well. We did our first trips away long before the van was finished, just couldn't wait to use it!

[@DSRM01]

Enjoyed the video, cheers

[@thenettenettenette]

Wow! Well done! Such detail and craftsmanship!

[@XC797]

Great job on high speed van build.

[@lynndalephippsbosuego2450]

Hi James! They said it all I’m afraid! Only one left to say……a w e s o m e build !!!

[@guachingman]

you have great skills very neat and tidy, overall design not my cup of tea but them skillz? you have them. Props to you and hope you enjoy your van for great adventures.

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Nice build! Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

[@PaulaRenea]

Awesome job. I totally need the plans for that bed.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Found your video on the NV200 group and made sure to sub!!! Thanks for sharing the time-lapse.. gives me some ideas for my build in the near future!!

[@LensOfJames]

Hi, thanks so much, best of luck for your build!🙂

[@armandoramos1949]

Great set up, I like the bed extends a bit further for more room.

[@Cat-wc5oj]

Merci excellent travail je prendrai le lit comme modèle dans mon futur van. Bises Cat 💛

[@RajiTripathi]

Wow!!! This is the first compressive conversion video I saw where someone paid attention to insulating the Van. Coordinating the interior with the carpet, even the door pockets speaks volumes for attention to details. The trifold bed is a welcome feature. Could you please include the details or better yet provide link to actual video?

[@LensOfJames]

Thank you, my 3 section pullout bench-bed video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnLchmmBaLmffJI

[@ricusserfontein1086]

Think im seein a NV200 in my future..

[@OrangeJuiceMovement]

really sleek and intelligent design.

[@juliannelennard4554]

Makes it a bit easier when the van is brand spanking new lol

[@birdofforest1313]

Awesome.

[@willlamond5078]

Cracking job mate, bought an nv200 in September looking forward to doing it up in spring, definitely going to be using these vids

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, good luck with your build. Any questions, just ask!

[@messogio66]

waouh ! bravo

[@kirabazz7077]

I always wanted to live tiny house or RV. But I can drive .N.E more I'm blind a bit ) so I'm stuck in a district I hate,im still looking for a unit of my dreams...yeh right time to go for a walk in my concrete jungle full of toxic air, im so jealous but happy 4 u.

Thanks!

[@hardcandy8642]

Nice

[@CoastalvalleyTraveler]

Great ideas. Thanks!

[@latinajadealberto7853]

perfect and pretty ! muy chula :)

[@mindlessgreen]

The quality of the finish and attention to detail is exceptional. Looks less DIY and more like a high end professional build from a company. I am wondering if that passive minimal window ventilation is sufficient to draw out stuffy air and minimize condensation. I am stuck about the decision whether to make a hole for a fan or not.

[@69indigoblue]

Nice build, like everything about it, except the cupboard-table solution. Do not like those cords that get in the way left and right....

[@stephaneprunier6880]

Whaou !!! 👍

[@heyyoo]

Hi, thank you for the video. What is the size of the bed? I am pretty tall.

[@summerartsworkshop2308]

Agreed... how big is bed?!

[@steveooutdoors9506]

Very good, when can you do mine 😀

[@understand-in9101]

Amazing!

[@sammic974]

you have some serious skills there. were you a car fitter in a previous life?!

[@teddyco.2021]

Class, looks very good 👊🏼

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks 🙏

[@atomicatdog]

Fantastic!

[@solinworld632]

Great work mate 👏🏼 can I ask what that drill bit is called that you used to drill the curtain pole hole please?. Thanks 😊

[@ASHdemoREEL]

FANTASTICLY Documented. MANY THANKS. >>quick question>> Im about to embark on a converstion myself When securing the plywood to the ceiling are you drilling into the reflectix? or straight up into the roof? doesnt seem like enough thickness to hold up such large sheets of plywood, but drilling into the roof would provide leakage problems, hence my question :- if you could clear up my confusion i would GREATLY appreciate it. MANY THANKS again for such a well thought out video

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, glad you like the build! I've got a full video on the roof set-up, which show how I attached it, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYTReYuDp6mbd7M

[@gorsmy]

Your a very tidy man 👍

[@BMWproductionCo]

I just got an NV200 myself. Oh boy, do I have a project on my hands.... and I'm nowhere near the craftsman you are. Might just hire a professional, lol.

[@CLdriver1960]

Well done!

[@shakeo]

Hi, your job was amazing! thanks for sharing, I wonder what did you use to attach the plywood to the ceiling?... screws?.. staples?... thanks..

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, I've got a full video on the ceiling here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYTReYuDp6mbd7M

[@werewolfjcb9876]

Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻 Carpet here carpet there carpet everywhere😂😂 And that stoage division under the bed with board 🔥🔥 One question though how r u gonna cook??

[@LensOfJames]

Check out part 2 of my table build - it's got details of my stove etc

Joli !

[@anditw2109]

Awesome!

[@ncls9503]

Hi James! You conversion is wonderful. A nice and precise work. Love it. I will soon receive a berlingo van XL and this inspire me a lot. In How many times did you finish this conversion? Thanks. Nicolas

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, glad you like the conversion! Not sure it will ever be finished 😂

[@ncls9503]

@@LensOfJames hahaha 😄

[@gerryward7]

Great job 👍👍can you tell me what the material is called to cover the interior please?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Also.... you made the carpeting look very easy... have you done this before or was this just a learning curve??

[@LensOfJames]

Hi, I think the timelapse makes it looks much easier than it was...it took me one day to do each side of the van!

[@pierluigi6686]

Never i see something like this, simply amazing... how many times, and how much cost all this ?

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks! I have a costing video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGKpg4yqYq6MsKs

[@JammyDodger45]

Cracking job mate. Have you got a vent in it? I needed a roof vent in my last van (transit connect) and will definitely be putting one in my next project (I can't decide whether to go big on a transit custom or stay mid on a Peugeot expert) but whichever it will be vented!

[@LensOfJames]

Hi, I haven't got a vent - haven't found the need for one based on how much I sleep int he van, but I've got a video coming out soon which gives more detail on my decision. Cheers, James

[@JammyDodger45]

@@LensOfJames - cheers James, I look forward to watching it.

[@garrettwall7277]

You did a great job on your build. I am also undertaking a conversion project and really liked the carpet on the walls. How is it that you attached the carpet to the walls so well?

[@LensOfJames]

Hi, and thanks! I used Trimfix contact adhesive and spent a lot of time on the carpeting but it was worth it in the end.

[@gjosh9606]

Nice work onii-chan

[@jasonga]

what happens when you need to fix the door latch or wiring inside the door??? because it will break at some stage

[@LensOfJames]

Remove the door card, cut through the carpet and insulation, repair door, patch up carpet, replace door card 👍

[@tamasvladar2625]

Helló! Hogy oldottad meg az álló fűtést benne???

[@clarelennard889]

Hi awesome. . Where did you source reflective insulation and carpet and what types are they please

[@LensOfJames]

Hi Clare, I got the foil bubblewrap insulation from Toolstation and the carpet/adhesive from www.vanliningcarpet.co.uk/. I've got an insulation video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHebqZ5pm6l9mJo and a carpeting video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnXYdnWdZqymqNE with links to the products in the descriptions 🙂

[@ethanesmith]

Excellent! I love the coathook. Is there a video on that? How long did the entire build take you?

[@LensOfJames]

Hi Ethan, yes - I featured it briefly at 1:35 in my Van Essentials video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5jQXmd-irNnaq8. The build has taken me just over a year, but I've been working slowly on days off/holidays etc.

[@ethanesmith]

Thank you for the reply. Well done, sir!

[@philosopher2003]

What is the coldest climate you use the van in? I live and travel where it can easily hit 0deg F. It can also get to 100deg F depending next the time of year

[@LensOfJames]

I live in Cornwall, England and it rarely goes below 0°c in winter and peaks at 30°c in summer, so not quite as extreme as your temperatures

[@philosopher2003]

@@LensOfJames thank you! I will look in to better insulation
