What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Jonah1972]

Bit more progress on my storage solution.
Storage bins built and sliders fitted for fridge and future kitchen pod build. Allows me to have the flexibility of withdrawing the whole tray to access the rear storage when setting up camp. Or only pulling out the kitchen pod and fridge if I just want a quick brew

Stunning, simply stunning!

Did @Brindle leave as I can’t see the images of his tweeter install? Or his relevant post.

Where did you purchase from? Best price I can find is £334 for the kit including door speakers.

I got them off Ebay, Transporter HQ do them though I think as well.

Repost of the Alpine tweeters, don’t ask - it’s a long story . Also, I did a full install in the end, 6 channel amp, 12” sub, component door speakers, rear speakers, all of which is hidden away out of sight. I might do a thread on the whole thing as I struggled to find info on some of the things I had to figure out myself, like mounting the amp under the drivers seat, running the power easily from the battery to the amp, finding factory earth points that can be used etc etc.

My home brew Death Star table

@Richard Wood Beat me to it!

It’s amazing the amount of space in the back of the vans. A death star, who would know!

I’m well impressed with the design @Jonah1972. It all looks very neat and easy

Cheers, I was looking at the OVANO and Slidepod solutions but couldn’t swallow the price at this point in time so went down the DIY route. The bespoke design suits our needs perfectly and is modular so I can remove everything to convert back to a van with about 20mins of effort. #builtnotbought

Looks amazing and I have been thinking about doing something similar, but that is perfect! - what do you reckon it cost all in for materials?

Fitted Leighton Vans Roof spoiler. Had to put the big boy pants on to drill the van! But it was all ok. Studs supplied were not long enough so had to cut down some M6 threaded bar. View attachment 118165View attachment 118166View attachment 118167View attachment 118168

Hi, how did you measure where to drill? I just got my leighton spoiler but i won’t glue it so i will drill it like you did...
i got the foam pad but don’t really understand how to do it

You git @Brindle . Why did you have to show me those? I'd have been blissfully unaware of them if it wasn't for you. This bloody forum will be the ruin of me.

Please do a build thread I am worried that the T6.1 having issues when connecting wiring that it come up with fault issues

Hard wired the dashcam today. Two casualties; 1. The A pillar handle cover & 2. My pride; as I bought the wrong kit initially. Bought the correct hardwire kit for the cam I have in the car but I bought the kit and camera together and made a mistake somewhere.

Fitted all ok now so happier than I was yesterday

Probably a dull question, but why not mount it on the shaded part on the windscreen with the lens just below? It would be less conspicuous and you'd have less dangling wire.
