This is an amazing job, very well done!
I am curious, are those real wood planks, and if so, have you had to work around some weight issues regarding registration?

Amazing work 👍
Shnoochieboochies t1_jbsdr5j wrote
2 questions, are you shorter than normal, because the bed is orientated across the width of the van so you could never sleep stretched out if you are over 5'6"?, and, has the kitchen block completely cut off access to the side door?

Superb!
What resources did you use to guide the build process?

Hey, dont know which kind of van they used, but i converted one with my girlfriend a couple years ago and depending on the Model you can get quite good bed length. We used a Peugeot boxer and have a bed of 1,90m which equals something around 6‘2“.

Holy shit OPs account is like 3 years old and has 35k post karma and 1,800 comment karma, and all posts and comments have only ever been about this converted van.
If y'all wanted to know the answer to any questions about this van, check OPs history. He's answered them all like 14 times each.

I mean honestly, the joke thing is less a thing than the fact that the OP has been posting the same van conversion every year for the last few years lol.
S0whaddayakn0w t1_jbt4d2m wrote
Where l live, vehicles get registered in weight classes, and if a big van exceeds a certain weight limit you'd have to have a driver's licence equivalent to that, like a trucking licence or bus driver's licence.
I don't know if those regulations are universal

How expensive is van life in the UK? Or is it just for casual trips?
KmartQuality t1_jbtg306 wrote
I'm sure the weight of everything in the conversion of this van doesn't exceed the rated load capacity. All that stuff isn't really that heavy. It can hold a lot more, and still probably has enough oomph to pull a trailer.
This is still classified as class C automobile in America, at least. An ordinary car that requires an ordinary license. If be surprised if the whole thing is 6000 pounds with everything installed. There are some big cars at that weight.
DrSmirnoffe t1_jbtgnwu wrote
And the username is literally "van living" backwards.
I wonder if this conversion was their vanity project?

Tongue and groove pine is surprisingly light, it's also cheap and easy to make it fit around stuff.

I used a Mercedes sprinter and I'm six foot and can easily sleep across it.
cedley1969 t1_jbtr34t wrote
It's in the UK and the van is thermally insulated with a roof vent?
cedley1969 t1_jbtr8o2 wrote
It's cheap, there are apps for pubs that will let you park overnight for free or cheap if you eat and drink while you are there.

How much Mold does it have, since you didn’t install an extractor over the stove? Oh? You never used it? Sounds like any other overlander van owner, asphalt only, and strictly no overlanding!
