DIY Camper Van Conversion | Full Build Timelapse | VW Caddy
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
DIY camper conversion from start to finish. Built on a VW Caddy, this conversion took around 4 months to complete and whilst large enough to fit a full-sized bed, hob, sink and cool box, it's small enough to use as a daily run around and park up easily.
I'll be adding a few more in-depth how-to videos in the coming weeks on the tap/sink, blinds, steam-bent windows and more so stay tuned for those! In the meantime, watch the full tour of this lil VW Caddy here: • VW Caddy Van Conversio...

This isn't just a van conversion - this is art
For a little while I thought ‘yes I can do this’ then you moved into another gear and I was eating your dust. Not a discouraging thing , I just sat back and watched a true master at work.
This is not a camper van conversion this is carpentry ART 😲 👏👏

yes!!!!
I've watched hundreds of van builds, and this is simply the BEST build on the internet. Super talented, multi-master craftsmen, and to top it off, the filming and editing are better than I could ever do. A seasoned broadcast professional with 25 years of experience!

Thanks @MediaEasier, that's very much appreciated!
WOW! That was THE most visually, audibly pleasing van build video I have ever seen! And your craftsmanship and all the little details... Just so deliciously satisfying!!
and THAT dear people, is how it's done. (the skills + the attention to detail: the way you threaded the electrics through your roof rack, all the routed edges, the little mirror, the adorable sink and faucet and immaculate sewing! Perfection!)

Carpenter, engineer, tailor, electrician, designer, - a man after my own heart🎉🎉 love this van build - it is beautiful
not having to hear someone's life story before a video actually starts is FANTASTIC! (even if the insulation is installed backwards😎🖤)
The best UK van conversion I've seen, by far - in fact, one of the best I've seen from anywhere. I loved so many of the little details. Outstanding work!

What a master craftsman you are Sir, gently spoken, humble and breathtakingly skilled…inspiring ..thank you so much XX enjoy the rewards of your labour and vision it is beautiful

Ah thank you very much for the kind words and taking the time to watch it to! Hope all is well on your side of the world!
FABULOUS!!! Master craftsman, so much care in everything he’s doing!!! Perfection personified! Well done you!!M
I would have put a tin layer of plastic between the insulated ceiling and wood, also on the walls between insulation and wood. Great results by the way. Greetings from the Netherlands
This is truly inspiring and amazing. Your skill and talent and attention to detail, even sewing, is astonishing. All done with love and care and in a relaxed manner. Breathtaking!

Multi-craftsman and woodwork-ARTIST! 👌 Golden hands, a vision, a plan, solid tools/machines and material. AND much ❤️ for what he’s doing. Mindblowing result. Little Camper with big personality. LOVE it 😍
Absolutely top banana in every way. A man who knows what he's doing. Brilliant.
I've never seen a woodwork like this. You are a professional electrician, carpenter and mechanic. And of course a tailor. I'm speechless and the only thing i have to say is "Hat's off my man.
This is the best carpentry I have seen! I absolutely love your precision and craftsmanship skills! Beautiful work!
Brilliant, and I loved the music 😊
What a fantastic conversion. The skills shown throughout this build will inspire me with my own conversions. Thank you

I love how you focus on the actual process rather than fast forward through the details to the finished product. Great video!
Absolutely stunning. The attention to detail is second to none.
That's some good van build music! Nice job !
I have seen many videos like this, but this work here is the best I have ever seen, especially the details and taking care of tiny little things is unbelievable.

This is absolutely amazing! What you've done with such a small space and I loved watching the woodwork too! You're very good indeed!
Right down to the sewing machine! What an artist. On every level.
You are a master of carpentry and every thing else very clever man
Just such great skill here, it’s gorgeous! not everyone has the skill to do this or tools available wonderful job! Who wouldn’t love to live in this ? Totally in awe!
So far I have seen quite a number of builds of campers because for several reasons I seriously consider to start to live in a camper myself. This is the smallest van I have seen so far. What I like most is that you kept it as simple and practical as possible but with some cute details such as the mirror. I also like the colors. You kept it light. This makes it more spacious. Even though this is too small for me I still think this is extremely well done. Double thumbs up.

Oh for heavens sake, this is just not fair, that anyone should have so many talents! This is truly magnificent, I am completely awestruck. Makes my ideas seem very lame.
This is not simply a van. It’s a work of art.
Really grateful for this vid! Just starting a VW transporter conversion and needed to remind myself of the basics. Thank you for explaining from square 1!
You are certainly a man of many talents. Very impressive style & finish. Well done, and I wish you every success with the van 👍
Absolutely loving and admiring the dedication, incredible craftsmanship, patience and attention to detail. Fantastic video.
VERY COOL watching you make the window frame. I have a vintage travel trailer with a birch wood interior and I always wondered how they got those gorgeous curves in the wood. Now I know! First rate conversion and presentation.
I've seen A LOT of van conversion ideas...and yours my friend is my favorite! Thank you so much for inspiration 😍 beautiful work!
Incroyable ! The attention to every small détail... the last straw was the window cover with its matching pattern! Bravo!!!
I don't really see this as camper conversion but as work of art. Not what I would go for in terms of complexity, but the result is incredible, considering you did everything yourself. Hat off for your mad skills !
This is unbelievable! This lovely man can work with wood , tools and sew better than me! How is this possible? Im so impressed! Really wonderful! Bravo!
I felt so proud of my work, but then I watched this video. 😂 The skills. 😮 I don't have half of the equipment you use, and little to no knowledge, so I should just be grateful for the learning I'm doing. 😊

I'm becoming more aware nowadays that there isn't anyone, man or woman, that can't do anything just as well as what each one is more commonly known to do better than the other. I think I said that right 🤔. Give a person, any age, some tools and a van, and visions are made, literally. And right before our eyes. Amazing 👏 ! Thank for bringing us along on this one. I saved it in case one day I might get some tools and a van😉.
Und jetzt näht der auch noch? 😮😅 Absolutely brilliant! He is a genius ❤
You're carpentry is outstanding
What an incredible amount of precision craftsmanship. Bravo!
At first I thought, "this guy is great with wood, then it was this guy is incredibly talented no matter what he's doing" and he has pretty hair. LOL Great design as well!

It worth to watch every single second on this video. You made an incredible job. Thanks for sharing!
You are a master craftsman. Such beautiful attention to everything. Love the music. Well done!
Incredible! I don't even know there are so many specialist tools. I really admire your hands-on skills.
Beautiful! One of the most appealing conversions I've ever seen for such a small car.
Wonderful craftsmanship. The three standout moments for me were firstly, cutting out the panel for the windiw; secondly forging a channel in the roofrsck for the solar electrics; and thirdly, steaming and forming the curved frames. And if that wasnt enough...you took out a sewing machine to make tricky upholstery covers and window shields! You have a great pair of hands coupled with mathematical precision and a creative eye. Is the soundtrack yours also? If so...I can't deal 😅😅
This is a credit to you mate amazing finish great wrk
Unbelievable. What an incredible craftsman you are. A true pleasure to watch.
Your craftsmanship is next level brother!! That looks amazing!! Loving your channel. GREETINGS from Southern California, God Bless you!
Interesting construction and solutions, good luck with camping life, greetings from "Volvo Laplander Camper"
you can clearly see years of experience in handcraftsmanship and thus skill not achievable for an average person. And the thing that cannot be seen in the video - huge effort. It looks so easy-pizzy, but those were hundreds of hours of work to get it done so nicely. Absolutely stunning. Congrats
Wood & Wild I enjoy quick timelapse videos - you see a job being completed. But, oh how satisfying it is to see you and your handiwork in real time. The loving care as you apply rust inhibitor to a hole drilled in the metal; to see the careful application of adhesive to ensure a perfect assembly of the solar cells to the roof. I have enjoyed it so much. I'm a little past all of that but to see the devotion to detail and the caring use of tools is a spectacular sight. Keep on keeping on, in such a diligent and marvellous manner. Well done.
A very professional job mate! The video revealed your knowledge in wood technology, design, electricity, plumbing and textile work, besides, it reveals good taste in details! Congratulations mate!👏👏👏
Really nice looking lining. Brightens the whole interior
Brilliant workmanship & design!
My goodness, you are so versatile and extremely talented. I'm blown away! Wow!! ☺❤
