hi guys welcome back to another video so today i'm going to be just showing the progress of the
mark iv caddy swamper conversion at the moment i'm in the process of doing the installation
so i put the recycle bottle plastic behind this thermo wrap then put therm wrap on top
we put recyclable bottle plastic all inside here put some up in the cab as well and then down the
sides and see what's in the process of doing that the reason i put these panels back on is because
if anything goes wrong with the wiring i want to be able to access it so my plan is to put cladding
up here like we did on the other van but i'm going to build like a bit of a uh a hinge door so if any
mechanic something needs to get to lighting they can get access to it i know a lot of people don't
do that but i'm thinking of keeping this van for quite a while and so if anything does go wrong
to electrics i don't want to have to cut all the cladding out and just ruin everything so i'll be
able to get access and get through to it so plans going forward i've just got to add the bulkhead
trim onto there which we're going to carpet on both sides then we've got the rear archway going
to carpet around that as well and then obviously we're going to put cladding on the ceiling
and then down the sides as well so really nice in terms of lighting i'm always going to do
led spotlights because i've got all this wiring here as you can see all these cables and for the
roof but then i have actually got this like already wired in which so this runs off the
circuit when you open your doors but this has got a switch onto it so that's a really good
nice light so i'm going to attach that to the ceiling somewhere once the cladding is done
that's going to be more than enough light that we're going to need so i'm not gonna put
any spotlights in or leds or anything like that because obviously if it's on the circuit when you
open the doors you don't want the lights coming on middle at night because it's just really annoying
so that way i can just turn that light on and off obviously i've got a battery isolator so the
battery's not to go flat and i didn't want to put a leisure battery in because it's just a cost and
the time of doing that is this is no need and a lot of people have problems with leisure batteries
they always lose their charge and things always go wrong it's so expensive now i've got the power
stations just don't need leisure batteries so there's just no need for them really we have also
got this 12 volt here as well so that's going to be ideal for charging things 12 volt on the side
there so that'll be i'll take that off the wall put the cladding on then put that back on so 12
volt at the back of the van which is going to be really good so plans going forward on the design
of the van i'm gonna have a bed down the side here i'm gonna have that so it'll be a single bed and
also slide out to the end but obviously you're gonna have it on runners so i can have a bit of a
kitchen area that's gonna slide out here so really cool and the clad the back of these doors as well
should be the same that one probably get the van x curtains along here which are really nice
there's sliding curtains on the rails so on that on both doors it's really cool like i said clad
the panels there so going forward on the ceiling as well we're going to insulate all the ceilings
trying to put the recycled bottled plastic up on the ceiling and then cover it in thermo wrap
i'm just waiting here because obviously we did have a fan on the roof and the previous owner
has sealed it up but i'm just making sure that no water's coming through before i cover that all up
it's all looking pretty dry in the rain it's all looking good but if anyone's got any better ways
of sealing that please let me know in the comments so the inside here interior my plan is to take
this base seat out and i'm going to get a swivel seat so i don't know if they actually fit i'm
hoping that [ __ ] valley campers can help me uh and i get scribbled seats then we're in the back
here obviously you can turn that seat around and that'll be really cool um but yeah if you guys got
any other ideas let me know so going forward to the outside of the van i'm going to spray all the
steel wheels gloss black so i look really nice and then i'm going to get the van x wheel arch
plastic wheel arch covers to put on there as well so that'll look really good if there's any better
wheel arch covers than vanes that's the only ones i know then let me know and get those as well like
i said before i'm gonna get the bumpers sprayed so i'm gonna get that color coded so it's blue
i'm gonna have a blue strip coming down here as well in this bit but now i'm going to keep
these grilles gloss black and this will be gloss black so blue here coming down through so i'll
match i'll probably get the wing mirrors across black as well so really cool so i'll just make
it look really nice and then on the back as well i'll put the rear bumper as well so that'll be
color coded along there as well so really nice so there we go guys that's my plans for the
camper conversion if you guys have got any better ideas or any companies suggest getting stuff from
you know like mini fridges or the swivel base seat just let me know in the comments below
or hit me up those companies be great so i can get into contact them and then see if i can buy
those products from them i hope you enjoyed this video and i'll see you in the next one
