What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Stuiemc]

Today I carpet lined the other side of my van, can’t imagine what it would feel like having to peel it all off after trimming etc.

Oh wait I know exactly how it feels. I realised after doing the second side the first side I done was the wrong way round. So had the enjoyment of pulling it all back off and scrubbing all the glue and fluff off to then redo it!

It’s all fun and games…

 

[Andymc]

Which one have you fitted?

I didn’t manage to run my wire to the rear camera before my pop top conversion… now I’m thinking it’s gonna be a ball ache.

Same here, looks a nightmare, is it worth the pain..

Starting to get trims carpeting and back in...heat is killing me though

Finally getting round to posting this. @saxoboy ’s light kits (puddle, footwell and glovebox). Really happy with these and were surprisingly easy to fit!

Made a couple of storage boxes for under the rear bench of my Kombi. Just awaiting some carpet to finish them off.

Brilliant idea, I'm stealing this!!

 

[S700]

Added a ‘150’W flexible solar panel and Victron 75/15 MPPT controller situated behind the drivers seat.

I say ‘150’ as in direct sunlight I’m really only seeing 100-105W

Just a little cable tidying to finish it off.

@S700. I've got to say that I admire your courage drilling holes in the van like that!

Haha thank you but tbh the roof isn’t an expensive one and the holes are drilled outside of the canvas.

For the cabling, I’ve gone through the grommets for where the tailgate hinges would be if it wasn’t a barn door van so I’ve not actually drilled the van itself

I was bricking it when I cut out a square in my tailgate to fit a reversing camera.

 

[S700]

Finished up by adding some temporary lower ply panels to the barn doors.

These were previously carpeted full height panels and I had to peel ack the carpet, trim them down and re-stick the best I could.

You can just see one corner didn’t quite go to plan so had to patch it. I’ll be getting some new ones shortly.

Dog approved however.

They look really great.

 

[S700]

Ah thanks bud. They’re probably going to end up one of those temporary fixes that end up permanent

Had water coming out of the door card on the passenger side, the van tilts slightly up on that side on the drive.

Deduced rain catching the deeper Focal replacement speakers.

Fortunately had one piece of sound deadening left, enough to create a drip cover over the back of the speaker.

And yes, I did do both sides just in case!

 

[Long tall John]

Good “top tip”.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it actually made the speaker better?

 

[S700]

Panel beneath n/s/r quarter window installed
Elastic nets fitted.
Table and locks fitted. CO detector fitted.
Time to get away in it I think.

Oh and do these solar readings look ok? Overcast day and fridge on full chat.

 

[Oldrat]

Slumming it down in the New Forest.




And still managing to avoid campsites.

Life is very good

 

[MattPoss]

Finally got round to finishing the sound deadening and insulating. Window getting fitted tomorrow, fitting the ply panels this week then fitting the Kombi seats next weekend….

 

[DXX]

Installed buzzweld painted lower B pillars, waiting on upper B and A pillar suede covers.
Excitedly waiting patiently for them to turn up. Not really, want them last week.

Patience is certainly not my forte.

@Texxaco Just wondering how the Buzzweld painted surfaces are after a few months use?

 

[Mwcard]

Door rubbers, dash rubber and some decals
