BlueTDI: September 2014

A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. I went for the 42L Vitrifigo 12/24 compressor fridge, there was a sale on and it was a little cheaper than the Waeco equivalent. Side note for Republic of Ireland readers: I was quoted an incredible 216 GBP ("Europe delivery charges") to get a 42L compressor fridge sent over to the Republic from the UK. I found a service called. The 42L Vitrifigo is a relatively small fridge which means it fits into the. Much of the van...

A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. I was reluctant to lose the height clearance the van had gained by fitting larger wheels but I found the transporter on normal springs 'wallows' in corners and generally behaves like a van rather than a car. After a lot of research I bought Sportline Eibach springs from Breeze Volkswagen. The van on steels, not lowered compared to lowered on 18"s. Converting a Van to a Camper in Ireland.

A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. Side Folding Double Bed. Someone asked me recently to add some more photos of the side folding bed so. I've written this post to show the final bed that I came up with. T. He previous blog post on the bed when it was a day van is still on the site here. S I wanted to have a rear kitchen under the tailgate I could not fit a regular rock and roll bed. They don't allow enough room at the back in a SWB for a kitchen. As you...

BlueTDI: May 2011

A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. I started my rear unit today. This is a floor to ceiling unit which will go behind the bed bench. First off I cut out the inner upstanding panel from a piece of waste hardboard. It takes a while to get the upstanding panels right due to the curve on the side of the van and the ceiling. To be honest the floor is not exactly level either. Then I carpeted the panel - there are more images of this in the carpeting. First of...

BlueTDI: Headlining Removal and Recovering
http://bluetdi.blogspot.com/2011/07/headlining.html
A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. Headlining Removal and Recovering. Now with the rear unit. This tool could save you hours. To remove the internal lights just pull down on the grey light surround; this pops the light off, unplug and remove. The long trims separating the ceiling panels just pull straight off. The grab handle needs a lot less persuading, simply pop the caps on the edges and unscrew the screws. Carpet and went about gluing it straight on.

A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. I bought a front fog light kit off Xtremevan. And installed it recently. The fog lights work only when the parking lights / low beams are switched on so there is a little bit of wiring to do but nothing too tricky. Here's how I did it. First off I removed the bumper blanks from the bumper. Then I cut a hole in each trim piece with a drill mounted hole saw. Next I fitted the fog light loom. To get the loom into the inter...

A blog about the conversion of a battered builder's van to a fully kitted out camper. Storage was important to me when I designed the van and I'm pretty happy with the way things have turned out. I have:. Cupboards inside the van. Though there are days when everything ends up packed in :). And last but by no means least. Side opening electric cool box. Update: Here is a post. On the new fridge. When is a camper van not a camper van? Do people live solely inside their houses? In addition to the effective ...
