Finishing my Camper Van Conversion. Wiring, Plumbing, Insulation & Everything Else
In this Final Episode of my Van Build Series I’m pulling everything back out to get painted and then do a final installation of all the electrical and plumbing systems, walls, ceiling, floor and basically everything.
It's already summer down here in the southern hemisphere, and I need to get this van finished as asap as possible if I’m going to get out there and enjoy that sunshine.

“It’s not perfect” literally creates a masterpiece.
Fantastic project from start to finish. Great work my dude!
Cheers bro!
We have got to hear this reality tv story 😂 Was very excited to see this video
I don't think I'm ready to share that embarrassment yet haha
@@FurtherFabrication the van turned out great by the way. Enjoy the open road!
Thanks mate!
@@FurtherFabrication Boo! Hiss! That's just teasing!
Whole series of videos was fantastic and such an easy watch. The technical detail balanced with watchable content was excellent
Great build series. Not drawn out like some. Very logical. Not over the top. Smart ideas. Hope you enjoy it 👍
Thanks mate, I was trying my hardest not to get too carried away with it haha
@@FurtherFabrication lol just need to add a laser cutter somewhere 🤣🤣
The triangles on the ceiling are totally worth it. They look very cool IMO.
Came to say this. Well worth it! They look sweet.
Brilliant work, my 7 year old son and me have been watching each episode and loved it, he has now made a little LEGO version of your van (his first prototype) and wants to make a real one… but I will leave that up to you when you drive past us (in Australia) thanks again!
cheers mate! haha that's so great, glad you enjoyed it.
Your level of craftsmanship is amazing. Really nice work.
Not perfect!!?? Are you kidding? That van is AWESOME and so are YOU! Really enjoyed this series. Look forward to an update. Cheers Rob!
That’s the design I’ve been looking for. A permanent office desk and a slide out bed behind the seats! 👍
Your skills! The imagination and drive!! Absolutely incredible!! New sub...can't wait to see more.😊💯💥
I'm so jealous. You are living the dream!
This was educational and fun to watch. Your next project should be a pontoon boat to houseboat conversion.
Glad you enjoyed it! That actually sounds like a lot of fun haha
The quality work, attention to detail and finishing touches you have put into your van are exceptional! Great job man!!
Right on time, I was looking for something to watch!
Woo! man I really nailed that timing then, I'd barely finished clicking "publish video" haha
Love your builds and the way you present it. Thanks for sharing your content. Learned a few new things
thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
"Learning experience"?. This looks like a mastercraft to me. Really.
Amazing amount of thought and effort put into this. Very high quality outcome !!
I thought the laser build was impressive, but this van build puts that in the rear view. Best build series ever. While we are looking forward to the next one would love to see shorts of the sites and sights as you tour.
Thanks mate! this definitely pushed me harder than the laser build, that's for sure! yeah I'll try do a few little clips during my travels (I was looking for an excuse to buy a drone haha)
Bro! So tidy as always! All that extra work really paid off. So jelly 😅!
Cheers bro!
Great build cobber,you have explained every step in plain english and made it very easy for new ban builders to follow. I hope you have a wonderful time travelling. Hope to catch up one day on the toad in Oz. Cheers Mick (Meggsy)
Genuinely the best van build and also the most fun to watch. Loved following along with the things you decided to change which you don't usually get to see. You're also genuinely funny too so kudos on the amazing series and of course the amazing van!
Great job, thanks for documenting your process so well!
Thanks for sharing your work Rob, it takes time to deliver a build like this but showing it in a interesting way is another huge task ! Keep going strong, i'll look forward to your next build, you're the best !
Great work Rob. Looking forward to the next project!
Thank you for sharing your van. you did great.
layout and workmanship top of notch
I loved watching your build. I look forward to updates!
It’s amazing!!! I loved watching you put this all together, thanks mate!! 🤩👏🙏
Thanks for sharing your skill with precise explanation.
outstanding series and great build. This is high on my to do list when I retire soon. Would love to see some videos of you out and about using everything to see how it works or if there are things that you would change etc.
Awesome build and excellent instructional. I love the spaceship lights and think strips down the middle would be a fantastic add on. Either way, you've crafted a great and unique interior for your new home away from home that suits you needs for now. I'm sure it will evolve and it will be fun to watch. Yes, it's time to hit the road and make memories. Safe travels!
Dude… just wow! Nicely done! 🎩 off for your work!
You are amazing in multiple skilled ways! Inspiring
Very well done, Master. I appreciate your design and hard work.
I'm looking forward to seeing a video where everything is all finished and we get the grand tour!!! Very creative on the pull out bed construction.
That's an awesome build. Enjoy the summer!
Exceptional quality, envious of your skills.
I think the X or Triangle pattern on the roof lights looks lovely. we say Taps in the part of Canada I live in.
Thanks! oh maybe it's just a USA thing then
SO much clever ideas! Definitely one of the top builds i've seen on youtube.
That looks really nicely built. Well done.
Looks perfect to me. Fantastic work. Enjoy
Waiting For Some Cool Shots Of The Van In Action. Congrats for the successful build🎉✨
The interior looks very german. Simplistic and functional. Good job.
Nice project and result. I’m really impressed, you have really good skills. Enjoy your car!
That is so cool, straight to the point on everything you did to it. I love it 🥰
Great series. You must be very proud of your effort. Hit the road and enjoy.
Excellent work! Hope you are out enjoying it now.
This is one of the most amazing videos i`ve seen for a long time. Thanks for sharing. Outstanding job.
Awesome job 👍 ty for sharing your experience with the build, I'm in Australia and I'm planning on doing something similar.
Don’t say it’s not perfect! It’s amazing bro. 👍 👍
That's a piece of art, nicely done!
Beautiful clean minimal aesthetics and choice of colors and varnish. Your final timelampse is rewarding to watch how one man uses such talent and skills. The lights were worth it!✌️🏻❤️
A great way to start my Saturday 👌🏻 Those ceiling lights were totally worth it. I’ve learned loads of things from this series. Your great video editing and sense of humor are overshadowed by your ability to turn an idea into reality. I’m jealous of your huge set of craftsmanship skills, but I know you’ve had years of practice. You make it look easy which gets me fired up to make stuff. Thanks for documenting this project! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks mate, really glad you enjoyed it!
I've been looking forward to seeing the finished build and it didn't disappoint, you've done such a good job! Looking forward to see it after you have used it for a while, to see what works well and what else you would change other than the toilet box! 😂
Thanks mate! haha yeah that's definitely first on my redo list
You did great job i would like to have photo software can you help please best Regards
Amazing work, seems like needing lots of skills. Thanks for sharing 💕
Genius throughout the entire project.
great workmanship
I am LOVING those locks for the drawers!
Very cool project. I love how it came out.
best van conversion videos I've watched great work mate will be using some of your ideas !!!!
The pull-out bed is clever. With the LEDs being driven by DC, flicker will not be an issue.
I love the diagonal lights, but it’s definitely extra.
I'm definitely taking down some notes, amazing build m8. One of the best I've seen!!
Unbelievable! I'm doing my own build and feel like ripping it apart and starting again, following some of your techniques! 😆
From Argentina!!! Extraordinary built!!! Loved it!!!!!
Great example of quality workmanship. Really first class finishings
Thank you and know that us creative minds loved it all. You give life to the minds of many. We adore your work and efforts put forth. 🤲🏾💜😏😉
Well DONE!!!!
Ridiculously skilled. Top notch!
unbelievable simply fantastic Great channel too
Just fantastic from start to finish. You're a talented man.
I have watched a tonne of van conversion videos and tbh I'm still pretty clueless about what to do if I ever get my hands on a van to convert! 🤣 but your videos really explain how things all work together so I've learned a heap and I love the ideas too👍 looking forward to seeing ur next adventures 🗺🧭
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get a chance to covert one yourself, it's a lot of fun!
I've got similar plans for my build, i.e. ease of detaching things "just in case". Your work is very tidy!
Awesome - great job and very inspirational
btw this was by far one of the most attention to detail thought out van builds i have ever seen....pretty much perfect and the nozzle has great pressure to shower
Well done
Absolutely perfect. Love it.
Wow! Quedó hermosa! 😻😍 Haces un excelente trabajo y eres increíble! Sabes trabajar con madera, eléctrico, coses... Si cocinas y eres cariñoso eres el hombre perfecto! ☺️ Me encantó tu trabajo. Gracias!
💯 And I love the lighting
Great, great Job! Thnx for sharing!
Perfect job! you are really a genius!!
Brilliant build mate, thanks for taking the time to film it all, a lot of your mistakes are very relatable and made me laugh!
"Stupid and wasted $200" is my favorite part of the video. Great job on all this daunting project and the videos that go with it! Well done, mate!
haha cheers mate!
very impressed man. great job 👍🏼
great video mate. love the roof and lights!
This is friggin’ amazing.
I really like the ceiling lights. Great build!
Fantastic project! You could also try adding a tap with heating and some filters to reuse the dirty water
That is so damn good. Colour choice is excellent. Keep us updated 👌
I really enjoyed watching all your videos 😀🪴
Man, this work of yours is amazing ! I'll build mine soon.
Great work!
Simple layout but high class
Bravo! Stunning creation. Have fun in your new van. Peace.
