Great job I was put off by watching others saying theirs cost 25 - 30 k this video has re inspired me !

[omniloki]

Boom! Thanks - been looking for an honest breakdown of DIY costs before I buy a van and get cracking. 🎉

I am considering a Transit Custom conversion so have found your videos most helpful. Also like your style of presenting. Thank you, Dave,

Hi Dave. I've really enjoyed your series. It's given me a lot of inspiration to do my own build. I think you've probably spent a lot more than you realise. Firstly, I couldn't find any mention of the price you paid for the window units and professional fitting. I think you have also forgot a whole heap of sundry items. Table things, rear view camera, mains electrics?, screws & fixings, tv and reckon you have to be much nearer to £4k.

Got my van yesterday, this is going to be very useful!

[ChaseTheMoments]

Good video, well done. You got a lot for your money and it looks great. More importantly you are now free to roam so the spend is minimal compared with the future joy of exploring.

[stagman]

Excellent. Love the humour but how you explained it too!!

[traderace]

Brilliant Mate - as well as being a total craftsman, you're very generous with your information & tuition vids. Keep well. x

[markgaudie]

You’ve done very well there mate. Nice job!

[MrTpimms]

Thanks for sharing and being so transparent! It’s really useful for someone considering their own conversion!

[markharris]

Fantastic job for the price Sir. The pop tops are the single biggest cost on these things. I’m getting my roof fitted to the bare van before I start. Beds can be the second biggest cost, be it a R&R up to a Reimo V3000 system. Choosing gas or diesel for heating also can add or save a lot. Yours looks superb so well done.

I've just come across your page after looking at motorhomes this weekend. We were considering one until we realised my partners Ford Transit Custom may be suitable. Your videos are really inspiring and I have loved seeing you working with your son on the project as well. Thanks for taking the time to share and upload for everyone else to enjoy.

Hi Dave. I came across your channel yesterday and subscribed as I'm embarking on a similar build shortly. Great content and especially generous of you to share the info regarding pitfalls and mistakes. Just curious as to when the windows went in. Did you do retrofit them yourself of did you have a specialist do them? Thanks and regards.

[angelarobins]

Great to see the costings, van looks absolutely fab, ours is very similar and just how we wanted it to look, superb vlog as always, good to see the family enjoying it 👍👍

[Rob-vnsp]

Great video, really handy to know. Thanks for providing product names as well. Will definitely use when pricing up my project.

[Irelephant]

Thank you for this video Dave, great job! Look forward to links when you get a chance. Im gathering all the materials to do a conversion on a 2013 version of your custom van.
Your videos have inspired me to tackle this project, I use your videos to motivate me to get all the materials ordered and ready to go!
Many thanks again

[mckeon]

Thank you for all the links and prices too. Fab job.

[jameseastwood]

Outstanding build and value. Thank you for laying out the costs so clearly, I imagine it takes quite a while to edit all that together. Have you thought about adding a pop top now you've used it a bit? We've stealth camped in our (unconverted) Tourneo, but also borrowed a Nugget for 4 nights. Having experienced the with and without pop-top solutions then, I feel like I'd really want the head space to stand inside, especially if the weather's not cooperating.

[MrCainmarsden]

Great video thanks! Been researching a while before starting my conversion, found your page very helpful. I’ve
Opted for a 12v system without any mains. How did you find fitting the electrics?

[mckeon]

Brilliant job this is something I could afford :)
