VW TRANSPORTER ACCESSORIES. 5 upgrades you don't know you NEED

[@lauristahl1884]

Well said in the end :D Thats what i think also, i have building my van for 6 months now and it looks pretty good now and its so much better than before with hifi and reverse camera etc. Vans are awesome! 😍

[@urbanarkoverland]

Vans are definitely awesome 👍🏻

[@edwardchester1]

Was a bit dismissive of the extra door seals when i saw them on another vid somewhere. Just did the uograde and they make a big difference. Dont care about the shutting noise but much less noise leaking into the cabin. Also makes an even bigger difference replacing old main door seals on older vans.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Oh man. For the small cost too. No brainer for sure 👍🏻👍🏻

[@P8FPV]

The side step hole lid glue some fabric to the underneath 😊

[@urbanarkoverland]

[@stephenbulmer7148]

🤣🤣🤣love the "do you need these NO" should you buy the maybe ,probably, yes. nice vid and great to see you back on youtube.👍👍👍

[@urbanarkoverland]

Ha ha. Cheers you 👍🏻

[@kangapoopradjan4426]

Great Vid Right about the 5 or 6 thing Might get dash trim seal for my Sprinter camper van which has a dash to screen rubber trim strip already fitted as standard but from the amount of debris found when I stripped out the dash great idea bad execution(it's a new one fitted by previous owner MB should be Made Bad 🙂 My old MK4 Golf Door seals are fitted in place of the original Sprinter door seals much better fit far quieter look better as inside trimmed in cloth & free

[@urbanarkoverland]

Awesome mate.

[@project-overland]

A common overhead light upgrade is fit a tourag one. Lovely mood lighting with it.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Never heard of that. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mihaisamaila7646]

For that compartment near the step you NEED some self-adhesive felt, so those plastic caps don't rattle all the way...

Hi Chris, I loved your performance in Guardians of the Galaxy. Great job with your van. Congratulations.

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@luisgonzalezlopez5113 haha. Go on then. Which one was I? Ha ha

[@Normanskie]

YES I do need the front window screen trim as trying to retrieve my National trust member ship card front DOWN the front with 2 little pieces of credit card, (without pushing it further down) was a bloody nightmare.

[@ianwhitehouse3849]

Just ordered the door seals following your review for Camper - code worked too when I copied and pasted. Hoping this purchase will help with the noise reduction for the new speaker I've just installed. Thanks

[@urbanarkoverland]

[@andylewis8915]

Drill a finger hole 20/25mm the step lid so you can pull it out? Or a small recessed handle

[@urbanarkoverland]

Yep. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ianfirkins6460]

Good stuff. Have got the dashboard trim in already and it’s invaluable. Had to dig no end of rubbish out before I fitted it 😂

[@adiehull]

Regarding the Van X step, could you drill a neat little finger hole in the top so you can lift it off easier? Door and dash seals make a huge difference 👌🏼

[@urbanarkoverland]

Yeah I could yeah. That’s a great idea 👍🏻

[@adiehull]

​@UrbanArkOverland tbf they should be made like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@urbanarkoverland]

Hey. All links in description 👍🏻

[@PhilHaddon]

Those door seals you fitted. Have you had any issue with water entering them from the cut top or bottom ends? I fitted some yesterday and they do make a difference to the clanking doors and cuts down on road noise a bit. And YES .... I do own a Golf 😊

[@urbanarkoverland]

Hi mate. So since making this video bead a few people mention to make a cut or drill hole on the radius to allow for water to escape 👍🏻 Ha ha. Do you drive like you’re alway in a hurry? In ya golf?

[@PhilHaddon]

@@urbanarkoverland Thanks for your reply. I did think about making a couple of holes with a soldering iron. I think I'll put a small blob of silicone in both ends and a few choice holes to let air and any water escape. I drive my golf like Miss Daisy... eeking every mile I can from a tank of fuel🤷🏼‍♂️ Keep up the good content 👍

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@PhilHaddon I wouldn’t seal it up. You want air to escape when it slams shut 👍🏻

[@leightoop3411]

Hi I watched your video about installing the 10ltr hot water cylinder and being a heating engineer myself and planning to undertake a van build I wanted to know your thoughts on having two of those cylinders and fitting them in series hence 20ltrs of hot water!?!?, plus they do a 12v version I see.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Yeah that’s no problem at all. Although they do a 20 litre cylinder. So you will be paying twice. Benefit is. If you had them on delegate switches. You could choose to only heat 10 👍🏻

[@markofensen4946]

Great video! Do you have the reference of the LED lights?

[@urbanarkoverland]

I’m sure link in description mate. Try transporterhq. Have discount codes too. UAO5 👍🏻

You NEED the golf door seals as otherwise, over time, the metal on metal door slam will eventually rust.

6: Go to town on the rust-proofing. I work on an endless stream of Transporters - there's seldom less than 3 in the yard at any time. All have rust. Get a load of rust treatment stuff - smother every part in it. Ideally before you have any rust. Prevention beats treatment every time. Rust proof your van - VW didn't.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Oh ok. Thanks 🙏
