Fiat 238 camper van - interior improvements

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a short video showing the improvements we’ve made to the interior of our vintage Fiat 238 campervan.
The company who originally converted this Fiat 238, did so without any thought to storage or actually camping in the van. The interior wood cladding looks great but weighs too much, so we have started to remove some of it and integrate the bed boards.
The 3 leisure batteries would have cost over £1000 when new, but are now ruined, due to being stored for a long period of time without being fully charged up. In a small van like this, it makes absolutely no sense to have 100 kg weight of batteries. We will be replacing this system with our trusty EcoFlow delta - a fraction of the weight and easily removable.

    I love it Mike! You are going to have so much fun camping. When my daughter was about 5 years old (2004) we bought a 5th wheel and we hit the road. Every year we would go out for 3 months or more. The best time I ever had was taking the family to Yellowstone National Park. That’s where my daughter caught her first fish. We only camped once last year and we haven’t been out yet this year. I have to take the RV out soon. You gave me the itch.

    Thanks for your comment - We all love camping too and cant wait for the first trip. We used to go out to Australia every year for three months...until they locked it all down....and I'll also never forget Grace catching her first fish aged 5. Mike

    Thanks for your comment. I used N35 cylindrical neodymium magnets which were 25mm thick with a diameter of 25mm. These have a 50kg pull are perfect this job and also for welding or glueing metal together where you cant use clamps. Just be careful not to get your fingers caught....it is very painful! I bought a set of 10 magnets from ebay several years ago and they cost just under £5 each. Not cheap but you get what you pay for! eBay item number 351472299825 Mike
