Yeah roughly, once I get my framing/insulation in I'll be off to get it weighed properly and take it from there. Everything else from framing and insulation can be tweaked and planned :) Yeah passed after 1997 so dont have C1, I could go do it but would prefer to keep under 3500kg

I have looked at the 80/20 stuff but its expensive stuff.... There isn't much weight going on the walls so I'm fine with using wood as my walls will be lightweight ply from someone like Moreland. But yeah there is so much I've planned yet until I get the van and start sizing stuff out its...

It's why I kept going back to the box van. I can use off the shelve items such as IKEA, cheap, looks OK but more importantly its light weight! I don't want the van to look like a motorhome/campervan. If you where placed inside it I want the look oh nice small flat you have there :)

Dunno about the ⚽s :D Insulation I'll be using 30mm celotex all around, I have to be careful with the weight as I'm looking at 32m2 of insulation. (£200 the last time I looked) The Truma 6de is meant for 6-8m vans so be oversized for that as mine is 5.6m. Floor will be raised 0.5m so I can have...

Yeah liking the name, I was thinking Francesca but please keep posting them. Not sure what to go for yet, I guess when I drive and start building the van it will be easier. For the monitoring I'll be using the Cerbo GX and their HDMI screen, yeah I could DIY that but some stuff like that I'm...

The TLDR (Too long didn't read - I'm a bit loopy, bought a low loader van - click photos) Tomorrow I'll be collecting my new 21 plate Fiat van to start my conversion :D This van has been about 3-4 years rough planning as I had to sort out moving house and all the rubbish that comes with...

Confirmed collecting tomorrow. I'll start a new thread shortly as I already have seen the last week so got some pictures to share :)

Cheers, not using it as a guide. I know what I want and have been rough planning for 2 years but I was thinking sharing that with the world :p And yeah I can't be bothered with the so called experts. 😂

Thanks, yeah more new van will have all the space needed :D

Yeah will do :) I am sort of planning to do the YouTube stuff but not sure I'm ready for every professional x to pick holes in the DIY project!

Cheers, will look into this. Any ideas of costs? Thanks

Hello and I've just registered so please be nice :p Yes I've just bought a new Fiat Ducato low loader to self build mine out over the next 18 months/2 years! Should be collecting the van Monday/Tuesday. I went for 5.6m box, 2.2m wide and 2.6m high!
