double swivel seat foot rest for a selfbuild campervan | vw crafter sprinter | the crafty blinders

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi and welcome to the channel
As we use our selfbuild campervan we are still finding thing we can improve on one of our first upgrades was the double swivel seat however the created a problem that has bugged us since we did it! because the seat is raised 3" your legs end up dangling and become uncomfortable so we need a solution

    just going back through all the crafty blinders vids that I missed, Sam. This is a great bit of kit for a swiveling seat when you're a shortie LOL... When I get my viv passenger seat fitted with a swivel, I'll nick this idea off you. Regards as always-Kenny

    Hello Sam. Vincent here from Belgium (and south of Spain). Congratulations on Dexter! It's beautiful and impressive. I don't have a van but maybe one day I will buy one and I will certainly be inspired by your videos. I had always thought of looking at the prices for a Mercedes Sprinter or a Fiat Ducato (euro6 for emission standards) but your VW is superb. Some friends from Wales are into steampunk and van and I think I saw their van in your halloween video! It is such a small world ;)

    Hi Sam, just found your channel & love it. I am a pensioner & have just watched your video about your bench seat which is just perfect for what I want to do around the wheel arch of the SWB Transit M7 that I have just bought as a day camper. I will have it more as a bed than a seat incase I have to rest as I have damaged lungs. We are going off for day adventures with our German Shepherd pup so just going to watch the rest of your videos to grab some ideas. Thanks so much, love your relaxed way of explaining. Good luck with your channel & adventures in your van 😊🥰

    @The Crafty Blinders van life oh I will do that Sam. Honestly, you have such a lovely gentle way of explaining things in your videos. I have exciting adventures ahead because I was bedridden for over a year & have lung damage & suppressed immune but I am much better so we have got our pup & I am teaching her to help us as our assistance dog & a PAT Therapy dog if we ever get sick again & I am putting our journey on YT. We live in N. Devon so lots of countryside & seaside adventures, hope to teach her to paddleboard 😂🤣
