Panel van conversion to camper - Kali

Well I've had a monster weekend and got boat loads done.

Control panel fully wired in.
6 lights wired.
Leisure battery and split charger.
Electric hook up installed in engine bay.
Fridge wired up.
Sink installed.
Fresh water pump installed.
Tap connected to pump as it works as I pump.
Gas bottle holder and regulator installed.
Gas pipe located just needs connecting to the cooker.
Just need to connect the cooker and fix it Down when ive added some feeds to power the tv.

All in all a good weekend.

Things left to do.

Sound deadening to be fitted to walls of engine bay.
Fit a clamp for the leisure battery in the engine compartment.
Find a tv DVD to fit and the best place. Hmmmmm
Mgb rev counter to fit.
Fit one part of the rear seatbelt.
Fit rock n roll bed.
Loads more ......................... This list it not exhaustive LOL

 

That interior looks fantastic mate ,great job ,like the louvered windows as well
Gotta be a camper ,what use is a T2 van?

 

This was taken just after I finished last night. It's coming together slowly.



Managed to get all the sound deadening stuff over the engine compartment



Just gotta find a place to put a big tv. Any ideas anyone? Maybe a pull down screen and a mini projector.

 

Well I've got fresh water tank plumbed in now with pump and feed. The cupboard is much taller than the tank so I may lift the tank up on a shelf to make better use of the space below.



Pretty much the same with the cupboard next to it. I've got the gas bottle and waste water plumbed up but there seems to be so much wasted space. Not sure if a shelf will work here!



Lastly there is just one more live feed to wire for the tv and then I can connect up the last joint of the gas pipe and secure the sink hob unit down.



I've got the RnR bed upholstery samples from delilahs now so we are close to ordering that.

Can't wait for my first trip to Cornwall. Only 16 sleeps to go

 

What have you used for the sound deadening?

 

Looking good btw!!!!

 

Being a sound deadening virgin I was lead to this by a friend of mine on the ssvc.

Was easy to lay and should do the job ok. I've ordered a 2nd batch to do the top of the engine compartment and line some of the panels.

Can't tell you what it works like yet cos my carb is off to mega coolair for a proper refurb.

 

The rock n roll bed is now with delilahs for some pucker upholstery. Its gonna look ace.

 

I think I saw it today when I went to pick up my newly covered seats..

 

Whats that device your gas bottle is connected to dude?

 

I guess its a regulator. It came with the cooker. Normally they are like bbq ones that screw on the cylinder. Not sure why this one is different.

 

Looks like a mixer, wonder if its so the gas bottle can be used at any angle

 

Looking good, the units/install look good quality.

 

Thanks Kruger. Yeh I'm well please with the. The dudes did good. Can't say I did them lol.

 

Well another monster weekend in.

All electrics wired.
Gas cooker plumbed.
Waste water all plumber in.
New all round lock set fitted.
Handbrake, clutch, accelerator and brake boots / grommets fitted.
Tv / DVD fitted.

I even managed to fit a rear view camera in.

Can you spot where?

 

In the reflector? nice touch that.

The side window all clean up nice then?

 

Yeh it's still very grubby and needs tlc. I ran out of time and had someone fit it. It will clean up when I have the time lol.

Yeh reflector! Was the best place I could find where it wasn't so obvious lol.
