moment I'm turning this FORD TRANSIT into a stuffy off-grid go anywhere
sleep anywhere CAMPER VAN and today super free things don't need to do but
first i'll finish off me door I need to finish I'll finish lighting it as you
can see I've started already well fought before I put the panel back on I'll show
you guys exactly help or inch like my sliding door it's quite simple really
mysteries now secret I simply use this loft insulation no this is recycled
plastic I love it but I do recommend it because it's so easy to work with it's
easier to cut doesn't make you itch they'll even rub it on your face to
prove the point unlike that fiberglass awesome just make you itch like a flea
riggan wiggle the flea Reed or muggy yeah it's great stuff and it's good for
the environment well not really good for the environment but it helps the
environment by using recycled plastic its but then it going it Elaine feel
going in our oceans it's much better Feeny adores why anyway
so that's what I use for the bottom and a door locks I off I simply cut it into
squares put it in the price of this top section or cut it into strips Freddie
all the way along there and that's the entire bottom of the Doreen she lighted
now the top of the door yeah so now a story because that's something I'd
always double skinned you can't actually get anything in there where you came and
I have done in the past that's to your amusement if you've seen that video I've
drilled holes in the damn skin filled it with expanding foam and to be honest it
ended in disaster it just made an awful mess season or me
locks up and I recommend anyone's doing that do not put expanding foam in these
parts of the doors in fact you're probably better off just leaving it as
it is because it's double skinned so the cold metal on the look the metal on the
outside is exposed to the elements that gets cold and hot in the summer but it's
got a skin on the inside which is completely separate so do you really
need to insulate it probably not because there's gap is huge
it's about that thick that door Tyler yeah I think you're better off just
leaving it as it is at the end of the day like my event my camper
I've put a curtain right across that door and it's a blackout thermal type
curtain of a ball from a bite and it works perfectly fine I don't even get
any condensation on the window but that's probably due to the fact that
me door doesn't fit properly baguette compartment of door close what
along the bottom of door so it probably gets a bit of a cold air draft going up
stopping the window from convinced i heating unlike this door and then this
door fits absolutely perfect someone comment either in prior video about
there was watermarks on the top of the door but I've checked it and there's no
gaps at the top of the door there's no gaps down there there's no gaps on the
floor even up this side it fits absolutely perfect and I'll shut all the
van up and look for any daylight there's nothing so yeah fortunately this door
fits perfectly so yeah that side myself finish that off my next job is to have a
good time yeah it's a bit messy in here and then I'm gonna use masking tape and
mark here on the floor will my furnitures gonna go where the
beds gonna go on there I'm gonna put any old shaped bed in this fan of kitchen
cabinets walk across there no myself mark the floor out and then can decide
where I'm going to put my he talks that's more next job excuse me I hop in
your weekend I'm a bit do I try it Dicky barely quite so the heater using
the old friend the Chinese diesel here absolutely love these the cheap and they
work really really well but they do work well I do recommend them now when
fitting these heaters you thing little bit one thing in mind you can't just
drill a hole anywhere for the exhaust to go through the floor you need to get
under the vein and check where your fuel tank is most importantly where your fuel
lines run and where your chassis rails are otherwise you
come across problems just you know you can't just say I'm gonna put the heat of
their and then drill out cuz without checking underneath no good idea
thoughts or yawns going dude on camera I'm having a good time my okay so that's
one hex job he's Mark out the floor working it where
I'm going to put here now in my vein I've got the heater in that corner there
the reason I've got it in that corner is because I draw air yeah fresh air from
the cab I open the window a little bit so it draws fresh air into the vein
heats it and it circulates it inside the living space and so yeah I'd like to put
that heater in that corner but a problem is this floor is actually lower than the
cab it's the cab it floor is about here so I
need to stain the feet up on some kind of platform then up trouble with that is
the exhaustively exposed and yeah I need to work out some kind of heat shield the
other option is to put the heater underneath the bed but I'm pretty sure
we all might Leon wants me to put it in the same place I've got mine so I need a
figure out how I'm going to protect that exhaust from anything touching it and
possible chance of it kitchen for her but don't want no if I can't put it in
that corner it's gonna have to go under the bed but before I throw all that any
of that I need to mark out the floor with masking tape where my furnitures
going to go so then I can actually make a decision where the heat is gonna go
I've swept the veining up I've marked it yeah marked out where the kitchen units
going to go I've marked out where the beds gonna go all along now if you can
sleep I have a heater I've put in the corner and that's exactly where mine is
in my camper and as you can see I've raised it enough to raise it I've used
these furniture legs now I've got admit it's not my idea okay I didn't come up
with that idea this I saw somebody else do that or new YouTube channel there's a
rather noisy van Gogh boy in there would ya I'm saying oh yeah so yeah these
furniture legs this idea here I've got that idea from a youtuber called memory
so yeah do feel free to check out his channel but just want to mention that
because I don't want to take credit somebody else's great idea and he's a
fantastic idea I was quite impressed when I saw him fitties heater my bunny
my vein I've got it I've got it raised slightly but only on little bits of wood
so it's not really much of an issue but on this if I was to fit like this my
biggest concern is a fire risk from the exhaust because the exhaust comes down
from under the heater there when it comes down it's such a big area and
barrymore and this is gonna be enclosed if I move back so that's going to be
right back at a kitchen cupboard and only takes something even a bit of dust
or a road bit of Darmon or something not net to end up under there and touching
that exhaust and we could end up with a fire so I'm not really happy to fit it
like that purely because of the fire now I was thinking maybe I could put heat
shield around the legs like put something around it to shield it in to
box it in if you like but then you've got the risk of heat building up from
the exhaust and the fuel pipe is under here as well there's a little point
thing just see where the fuel point goes I'm not I mean out the inlet manifold
it's like a paper tube so just don't sit there happy to put it yeah
even though it's probably they do work well sat there because you're growing in
fresh cold air from outside and introduced into the vein and I know that
the guy on building his fan for he wants to go up north Norway or something like
that where it's quite cold so his heat is gonna be used quite a lot unlike mine
I mean I switch my heater on for half an hour and I see it I'll switch it off
that's all I'll maybe start off there just to warm me up my veins so willing
this you like it especially with this sliding divider I don't mean to leave it
on all night but then don't really getting a cold here in the UK but if
Leon's gonna be coming up north I know he's gonna be using this heater a lot
more than I used mine so I've come to a decision to actually put it under the
bed then here let's plenty of room for it whether it is chassis rail that runs
along here but um I think it will fit just nicely just put it in place I'll
show you what I mean they all see this upside down but we go out and event I
mean these guys if we come outside the van and look underneath I've placed a
piece of timber up against the chassis well dear just see it sticking up and if
you look at that look where that is it's probably just enough room that will just
come the right side doughnut chassis rail there you go I've measured it as
well and it will fit so for safety psych I really think that that's where it
should go I've got this theory if you keep it
simple keep it simple keep it safe you're not going to go wrong so that's
where I'm going to put the heater right there but to do that I'll need to cut
the floor away only to remove someone at flooring so that the heater is actually
on the floor of the vein size attached and a metal floor would have been and
not to the wood of what's what's the point
she's still gonna have a fire risk right so that's more next job take up that one
piece of bit of flooring luckily it's lemonade flooring sock done this type of
whole thing up I can actually take that one piece out do what I need to do fit
the heater in place and then yeah job would be good all right so it's such a
nice day well it was it's gone a bit cloudy now but more of a night they are
there's more camera vane just parked across the road
so I'm going to spend the rest of the day cleaning more veiny out I'm not even
doing it will tour video and I'll upload a video later on in a week yeah yeah I'm
gonna leave it now I'm gonna crack on with Marvin do some work on my face I
leave it as it is so if you liked this video thanks for watching don't forget
