Thank you! I try to do my best correcting myself before I post.

The van have been in the northen part of Sweden from when it was bought new.
There is no salt on the roads here in the winter, and the previous owner just used it on the summers.
The corrosion would properly be a fact if it had been driven in the south part of Sweden.

The floor is not from Ikea it's from another store.

I have finished the work on the heater and it works very well.
The van gets warm in just a few minutes.


Putting together the last piece of pipe.


Mounted inside one of the seats.


A metal mesh to keep stuff from getting in.

Thank you!

The van is almost complete, it's just some minor things left.
In fact, I've already camped some nights in it a couple of weeks ago.

I will post more pictures later when I have some time to kill.

[KrillKill]

Damn I'm lazy, 3 months since I finished the van and still no new posts.
Here you have some pictures of the seats/bed/storage.
As you can see, the back support is placed between the seats when transformed to bed.
Then the cushion are placed over it all as a mattress.
I will upload pictures of the cushions and bed later.

Excellant job.... just love reading the camper conversions ... definately wanting to do one my self...... always had caravans, but sold that last year... got a Transit for work...... so might sell my Ford Maverick, buy a Transit and convert it to a motorhome..... become a 2 Transit family

[KrillKill]

It's indeed very amusing to look at peoples camper conversions, and this forum is great.
Convert a van is real fun to, the hard part is to let go and explore the life as a camper.
I have just done a couple of small camping trips so far.

Pictures of the work on the cushions.


Cutting the mattress into four pieces.


Testing the fabric.


Sewing machine at work.


First one done.


Velcro fitted.

I can't take all the glory for this, my mother insisted to help me just a little.

That van was a lucky find. Like the conversion m8.

Thanks mate!


The build of the table was a bit hard to figure out, something simple and functional.
I had many ideas about a folding up or down construction, but I ended with a removable pole and two bolts.
Here you have some pictures.


Very cheap build with the scrap pieces.


Corners are rounded a bit.




An old bandy stick will become the pole.



Two bolts hold the table in place, fast and easy to remove.



Painted white like the rest, simple and functional.

I like what you have done so far m8y

I'm glad you like it


Here some pictures of the work on the "kitchen".


Frame construction.




Will it fit? Yes it did.


Cutting out the hole for the sink.





Final result, with the 1w led light installed.
And I have sewed matching orange curtains.


The sink with the lid on.


Pretty good storage.


A plastic storage box as a sink.


The sink isn't attached for simple removal.
Underneath you find water bottles and the pump.

The first big snowfall have arrived, and I do not have any snow tires.
I guess it will be 6 months until I drive it next time.
