So. Here we go again. Another mk5 Transit, bit bigger this time and not a work van either.
Im not going mad welding this one, the other one i welded taught me that welding on your back breathing in welding fumes and burnt underseal is not a pastime.
I have had it MOTed and it only failed on some brake pipes I have now mended, windscreen, two tyres and the battery being loose. Prop shaft advisory also and it needs doing before re-test really. It bangs a bit.
Anyway, pics.
Made a burner.
Still needs heat shield installing in pics.
Painted it all up and away we go.
The sofa pulls out into a double bed and the sink and hob all work perfectly, my brother plumbed the gas, he is Gas Safe registered .
It's not anywhere close to Cully's van but it cost less than a grand all in, including the van purchase price and will be perfect for festivals and weekends away on a whim.
It has a 1K inverter and a 115ah leisure battery with split charge. LED lighting and the log burner mean I shouldn't use much power but I have another smaller leisure battery as a back up .
I do have more pics of the build but the forum uploader wont allow loads of them unfortunately.
I'll keep trying to edit this and add more pics if I can.
