Van Tour - Ford Transit Jumbo Campervan Conversion

In this video we take a look at The Wondering Womble's converted Ford Transit Jumbo

[@WonderingWomble]

Hay Boys That's a nice camper, and that bloke is good looking.. Thanks for the plug.. Had a great time at Hope, can't wait till next Self Build meeting.. Thanks lads..?

[@CampervanTales]

Yes, not a bad van that one. Think the chap it belongs to is called Brett 😉😀

[@WonderingWomble]

You don't no how close he was to having it..?

[@CampervanTales]

@@WonderingWomble that would have been good. I do worry about him, especially with his health problems. Cold air won't do him any good

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Pringles lager and dog food I see you are on the healthy diet Kev 👍🍺🍟

[@DubiousEngineering]

Wondering Womble excellent van mate! ... I’m half way through my own build... I’m off to sub to your channel now!

[@johnmandy]

Another great van tour video guys 📹🚐 I love having a nosey around to see how everyone else handles power, lights and storage etc. We all do our vans differently but all with the same goals, being comfortable while we go exploring. 🤓🙃🐾 (nicked off Dave - Me, Mandy & Cooper)

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks John. We might be calling on your expertise in February at the weekend camp if our power issues aren't sorted.

[@johnmandy]

OK, I'm always happy to help if it means dicing with electrics 😁

[@daysgoneby4543]

Hiya guys just subscribed to your channel as a newbie to this i am finding my feet slowly and find your videos so useful keep up the great work and have a cracking week.

[@CampervanTales]

Thankyou very much. Really pleased that you are finding them useful. You have a good week too. 😀

[@andrewarmstrong1017]

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour... Many thanks... And Nos Dha from Cornwall 😉👌

[@kevinshort3483]

You tube ! He shut it down too quick for my liking 🤔

[@JohnnyBareToes2]

Very nice indeed ! We are thinking about the transit jumbo for our next van when the time comes, great to see what can be done with them

[@CampervanTales]

We have seen a couple now. Very roomy and two very different layouts

[@Smashy2009]

Just keep one thing in mind. If you travel a lot, especially by ferry, or on motorways with toll booths, you will be charged like a truck, not a standard car. I learned that the hard way, my rv is 6.4 m. The magic number is 5.99 mts. If you happen to run into an asshole, they even consider a tow hitch (you can get detachable tow hitches though) or a bike rack to push you over the limit. Example: the trans med ferry from balearics to barcelona costs about 70 euros for a car, if you are over the limit, it is 300.

[@loveu2222]

Very clean,organized,exelent job✌️👍

[@CampervanTales]

Thankyou for watching 🙂

[@numberplateguy8511]

Great video More lights than Blackpool But very well thought out van

[@CampervanTales]

He is thinking of selling it now to start on another one.

[@numberplateguy8511]

+Campervan Tales It will sell straight away I reckon urban stealth should have it What sort of price is he asking for it Just curious

Nice one Gents I Know that man and that Van 👍 He’s not a bad lad but he talks like Worzel Gummidge ! 😀 Best Regards us 3 Up North 👍😀🐾🍺🍟

Yep, Kev has got it all sussed.

We did prefer Castlemaine 4X. Take care and thanks for tuning in

[@georgeherman8826]

Brilliant van build.

[@CampervanTales]

It is. He did a good job on it

[@camplinpb]

Great conversion, great van tour

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks Paul. Kev' s van had so much room in it.

[@derealovesurvival7549]

Good set up there another good video thanks for sharing ATB.

[@CampervanTales]

He has got it set up perfectly for his needs. 👍

[@youtubehandol]

7:19 Aussie here; Transit Jumbo on order. Just wanted to say, that's the first opened fosters I've ever seen in my life. Greatest lie on earth is that aussies drink fosters. I've only seen fosters twice in store.

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. It isn't the nicest to be honest. When we did drink, we preferred 4X. Hope you enjoy your van, pretty sure you will👍🍻

[@youtubehandol]

@@CampervanTales I've never had a 4X in my life either, and I'm a pisshead! Prefer the German offerings, myself. DIgressing, I love the homeliness of your van. Everything you needed, you included and made it work.

[@CampervanTales]

@@youtubehandol ah this isn't our van. We have a Renault Master that we converted and travel with our three dogs. This van is one of the vans we did a van tour of.

[@ColinTonkasdad]

nice van , some good ideas . cheers

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks Colin.

[@DesmondsDonders]

Another great tour. You will have to give Brett the once over now though or there may be jealousy ;-)

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. Will make a point of visiting when he has got his new van

[@oldboy1690]

Brett The DIY god. I'll expect something special then.

[@RobJuni]

Smart idea with the cabinet lights everywhere. My old eyes don't see too great in poor light.

[@CampervanTales]

Yes it is a good idea. We are going to do it in our van in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for watching.

[@mikeysonlyvanspage]

Great video guys! 👍

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks Mike 😀

[@marklloyd2966]

very nice got some good tips off that

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks for watching Mark. Glad it was of help.

[@derykmacleod4979]

He has a real nice van! Does he live in it? I really like the awning tents that you guys use to add an extra room when staying for a few+ days. He should think about doing a murphy bed so during the day you don't have to climb over the bed to use the head.

[@CampervanTales]

Hi Deryk. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Kev doesn't live in his van, it is used for short breaks and longer holidays. He is in the process of selling this vehicle now as he has decided to start again and convert another van. 😀

[@derykmacleod4979]

@@CampervanTales the build addiction lol. Well looking forward to seeing more van's.

[@CampervanTales]

@@derykmacleod4979 yep we will be showing more van builds. We have our Scotland trip videos coming up but there will be van tours interspersed with them. Kev does enjoy the process of building cans so I guess that he is addicted.

[@derykmacleod4979]

@@CampervanTales I am hoping to be able to hold out at my job for 3 more years so I can qualify for a pension when I get to I think 62? Will be going out on disability at that point from a work injury...so I will be buying a van and outfitting it. I like seeing the different ideas you guys bring into it. I can say for a fact mine will have a little shower toilet room...I won't budge on it because I want to travel 6 months of the year.

[@CampervanTales]

@@derykmacleod4979 That sounds great, we would love to spend more time in our van. We decided against having a shower room but do have an external shower that we use occasionally. In Scotland we found public showers which were good. You don't find them easily in England.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

I enjoyed that. Nice van conversion and so many useful features. Is it in the auction ? 😂😂😂

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks. It is Kev's van but he is thinking of selling it.

Just trimming through the video, how'd you manage to get a proper oven in there?

It is a large van with lots of room

[@whatsfordinnerUK]

Hi guys nice vid. What camp site you at. Looks nice there

[@CampervanTales]

Hi. Thankyou. It was at Hardhurst Farm Campsite in Hope, Derbyshire.

[@CarlJones14]

-8° fridge? So this hasn't been registere as a motor caravan because it has 5'11" bed? Nice conversion.

[@CampervanTales]

Yes it's a great conversion, lots of room in there. The fridge can be used as a freezer too.

[@WonderingWomble]

Hi Carl.. Yes its registered as motor caravan, as the front bed folds down into 6'6" bed, that's how i got over that one... Cheers

[@CarlJones14]

@@WonderingWomble hi there. Thanks for replying. I think you've got a great conversion. I like the way you used the extra height to run stuff under the floor. I follow a channel called Houseless not Homeless. He has a Renault Master bus with fiberglass hi top. He has about 3 proper steps to get in the back of his van so he has a false floor with enough space for a canoe, surfboard & more. Mind you he doesn't have the headroom. He's not that tall. Anyway, great van well converted.😁

[@WonderingWomble]

Yes Carl i watch him as well.. his van is lighter as it has no sills.. haha.. i was going over to weld it for him, but his videos are a week behind...

is a jumbo and a lwb the same van

[@CampervanTales]

Over to Kev on that one.

[@WonderingWomble]

There are 4 lengths in the transit range.. Short wheel base, Mid wheel base, Long wheel base and extra long wheel base, the extra long is called the Jumbo and is 3 feet longer than the long wheel base.. I have done a video some time ago, this is the link... kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2G9dKWCr7Odgtk this should answer most questions except the rust... Thanks all
