hi guys welcome back to another video so in our last video we
insulated the van and today we're going to be showing you how to carpet this archway
carpet the back of your doors and also cut up the bulkhead to fill in the trim at the front and then
hopefully we'll calculate as well if you've got enough carpet left so we're going to fill the
this gap here with the edge of the bulkhead so we're just going to cut the edge of the bulkhead
off and then we're going to put this into this gap here and hopefully carpet it as well so it'll just
tidy that up and make it look a lot nicer so to apply the carpet we've got this four-way stretch
cup of amazon which is just a vehicle carpet i don't know what his actual name is we both have
amazon we'll put the link in the description what you want to do is you want to put adhesive onto
the surface that you're putting it on and then also put a dc on to the back of the carpet
so we've got this trim fix adhesive which is very heat resistant so obviously when it's in the sun
it's not going to peel off so what you want to do is spray this say horizontal or vertical
and then on your carpet spray it the opposite direction so you put horizontal on the metal
and vertical on the carpet leave it for like 30 seconds and then stick it right on then once you
stick on you want to pull it and stretch it and that's how you put the carpet on pretty
much it's really simple but we'll show you as we go but that's just a basic principle
okay guys see the first bit of carpet on
so when you're carving what you want to do is you want to pop this back seal off
so you can carve it right to the edge of the metal and then you can pop the seal back over the top
so it's going to give a really nice flush finish and then the same on the inside
if you we're going to clad up here so we've just done it just slightly over to this edge
so the cladding will then hide the edge and it should have been nice and neat
but that's what the carpet looks like so yeah we're going to carry on and make it look all nice
then
uh
yes
oh
facebook
say hello to the camera
the first door and now we're going onto the second door we've done this a little
bit easier because we struggle with that door so i've stuck it around all of the edge first
and then what i'm now going to do is cut across into the carpet here
and then i can stick around the windows hopefully i can cut across and then i can pull this down
so i've got my standing knife here so hopefully this works but i don't know it might not work
yeah i don't even cut free no i did that
no i did that just don't cut the glass i scratch it
i have to get my scissors because this danny knife's not good enough
first
so there you go guys that is the second door carpeted
so you need to cut off the excess and just stick down any extra little bits as well
so guys the next thing we're gonna do is fill up that hole with the edge of the bulkhead
a little bit of trim to fill up the holes you've got up there
and down the side here so to do that i'm going to cut the edge of the bulkhead off
and use that to cover up the hole so essentially that's what you're covering up so you can see from
the other side the difference so to cut this guys what you want is a knife a little bit like this
the best way to do it is literally just follow this line and just cut down here start at the top
this is the cut one so as you can see cut down the edge there so that's the bit that's going to cover
up the van and then you want that top front bit as well at the top to cover that big hole
and this bit here looks a bit messy but obviously i'm going to file that nope and it's falling over
on its end as i was saying this bit here is a bit messy but obviously if i cut too thin here
it's going to go through and it's going to cut into this bit but you want this bit as well
so you know you don't want to cut too close because you're going to cut the seam off there
so essentially what you want to do and that's what you want it to look
like i'll show you what it looks like in the van this is what it looks like in the van so
you can see you're covering up that edging there and then at the top i'll show you on
the inside but that's that bit there on the edging and you can see the bit that i've cut
away you've got a little bit of the edge there so i'm just going to file that down neaten it up
so it doesn't stick out as much that big bit of the top is going to cover up that big hole you
see the edge going up and then you got that bit there it covers that big hole there you see so
essentially that's what you're covering up so you can see from the other side the difference so what
i'm going to do is i'm going to carpet over it as well so it looks a lot nicer it's just going to
match the copper back here and just make it feel a lot more cozy and nicer when you're camping in it
so you guys i've cut one side off the other bit of the bulkhead and now i'm just cutting
through this bit but i want to explain what i'm doing so as simple as just following this line
down because you just want this edge piece to cover up the gap inside the van
but if you go too close to the edge here what you're going to do is you're going to cut along
the seam which holds the front bit and the back bit and you're going to split that plastic seam
and the two bits are going to come apart you obviously want this piece to show in your van
because that's going to cover up the big hole and then you but you don't want any of this bit here
but you want this edge bit here so essentially you want all that edge bit down there
not including this you want all this edge bit here and you want it to come up round
and follow this line round that's what we're cutting off but obviously if you cut really
close here you're going to cut through to the seam on the other side and then
you're not going to have that connecting because obviously once that's cut off
you've got this bit here as you can see that sticks out so if you cut too close into this bit
you're going to cut this bit away from it and you need this bit because you need that to cover the
hole that's essentially what i'm trying to get so guys i've just finished carpeting the back of
the doors now what i'm going to do is carpet this trim that's come off the bulkhead so obviously as
you can see like here it's just going to make it look a lot nicer a lot more cozy when the band's
drop finished
and i don't pretend to know what you want i don't even know what to start but i wanted to try
even if you push me under it's only gonna make me stronger
it's only gonna feed my hunger saying the words say say the worst
even if the tides stop turning even if the world keeps burning nothing's gonna stop this feeling
say so there you go guys that is the edging of the bulkhead done so i've carved it all up as you can
see and then i've cut up to the back doors as well and we've done the archway so that's all
the carpeting done so i'm just going to fit these back in and see what it looks like so guys just
going to put the trim back in so as you can see it looks so much better it covers up that hole
and it just looks so much more cozy it's quite a long process to do like cutting out the bulkhead
and then sanding it down and filling it down adding the carpet but it's worth doing it because
it just looks 100 times better so let's hope these screws the right screws and it goes back in
there we go look how much better that looks 100
times better actually i'm actually blowing away how good it looks
so there you go guys we've carpeted the back archway we've carpeted both the rear doors
i've then cut off the edge of the bulkhead and carpeted that and installed it i'm actually
blown away with how good it looks i didn't think it would actually look this good and i kind of
wish we'd done this on our other caddy now because it looks so much more cozy and it's going to look
amazing when it's all finished so the next step we've got to do is put the cladding up the walls
and on the roof and then we're going to paint that white so we're going to do that in the next video
so if you like this video hit that subscribe button i'll see in the next one
