A guided tour of my camper van. Its crudely built, but incredibly functional!
BE SURE TO SEE MY LATEST VIDEOS WHERE I HAVE COMPLETELY RE-VAMPED THIS VAN!

Time and money:
It took about 3 weeks for the bulk of the work, then about 2 months for all the finishing touches.
Total cost for initial design was about £2000.

  • Hi Rick, thanks for your reply.... sorry for being unclear... I meant the walnut that you have used on the dashboard in the cab, not the furniture construction in the rear!

  • @dave8819yt Ah. yes i see what you mean now. I brought a small sheet of it from a motor shop thats no longer there. I just cut it out and stuck it on - no additional work. I've been looking for more but to no avail sadly :o(

  • Hi Rick, great vid... very inspiring.. where did you get the walnut laminate from??? I have searched ebay but no joy..... also does it come ready varnished/laquered/polished? and is it self adhesive? if not what did you use to stick it on with?

    Any tips on using this laminate???... cutting, applying etc?

  • @dave8819yt Cheers. It's not laminate it's contiboard :o)

  • what van is it?

  • @steventean renault master SWB

  • I was going to go for self build but I found that whereas I had ideas, I did not know how to implement them. I got a VW T4 Carthago. As it happens I am very pleased with my purchase!

  • Awsome I will be doing the same to my dodge van, only I will be living in it.
