cozz
so guys, after introducing myself on the newbie section
A guy i know is currently building me a camper
Im a transit man, have had 3 for work, and just ordered a new one. Wanted a non white van - so last oct bought an EX centre parcs minibus - because loved the dark green colour. Which I think will make it quite discreet
We have been renting holiday cottages on Mull, Skye, Harris etc last 3 years for hols, so we re going to use this camper for these trips along with others
van was selected as a minibus because its got opening windows already, one skylight, headlining, lower side step. It has done 115k, 4 years old, with a print out of all work ever needed - which is only tyres, brakes, bulbs, plus new clutch 8,000 miles ago. Took it for MOT and now its got 12 month MOT.
So a guy I know locally does conversions, Ive seen his work before and was impressed, only a youngish bloke, but works on stuff as if he is doing ti for himself.
The plan is, to make it seat 4 people, sleep 2, with room for 2 mountain bikes in rear.
so heres some pics
bed/seating frames mocked up, fitted slate effect laminate flooring, had diesel night heater installed.
The wall at the back will house a bluetooth sounder and a 40" LED tv. flush fit mounted from the back
Got a 90 cm sunroof from eBay locally for £60 much larger than a lot of skylights, there is one fitted factory standard in the rear roof, but non opening, this one opens up
My mate reckons he will be done in about another 2 weeks, he quoted me 4 weeks for entire build - he's just doing mine at the moment, so he's fairly full time on it
I had rear and some side windows blacked out with vinyl, he's fitted insulation behind 6mm mdd boards carpeted with high insulation carpet, we are fitted roller blinds behind the pelmets, so you won't see them, with LED uprights and down lights under the units
Front seats will be some recaro ones from a mondoe st2200 I have bought, these will be on swivels
Whadda you think?
