Loving your vids Sam. I'm in the process of selling my flat and hoping to sort myself a van to convert after that. Your van build series is building my confidence in believing that I can attempt to do my own self build. Keep up the content, I'll shall continue to watch your content. All the best, cheers👍🏼

I think the electrics/plumbing will be the most daunting

Even funnier the second time around watching you under that floor

Hey Sam, I been binging you vids again and I cant for the life of me figure where you ran the John Guest pipes under the floor to the sink from one side to the other as I noticed you ran your battens full length from back to front. I am watching your pump plumbing vid Part 30 and thinking did they go under the van itself. I am myself at this stage so wondering best way forward, under floor or under van. Thanks for what you do, real helpful.

They run under the floor in the insulation from the back of the shower wall to the opposite side and pop up in front of the wheel arch the run behind the kitchen units I believe that this is covered in the water pipework and pump installation video 😁👍

I cant understand Sam how your video gets over 2 000 views, yet only 90 odd could be arsed to give you a thumb ( up or down) If we can sit and watch and learn guys at least touch or click a helpful thumb. Costs nuthin !

Did you put any of the sound proof matting on the floor?

No additional sound deadening to what is already installed as the insulation and timber will reduce significantly any vibration or noise created from the floor area, our van is really quite when driving

Hi. I'll be using the original resin covered ply floor in my 2017 Crafter. I hope to to it one half at a time. Can that join in the middle be taken apart cleanly or does it have to come out as one whole piece? Cheers

We tried to split ours several times but it was glued together with something from another world 😬 good luck! let me know how you get on

@@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife Got lucky! The back half came out no problem - not glued at all on this one. Just a small line of sticky black adhesive down the middle. This is useful for me because I had a huge chest of tools on the van I did not want to take off the van. It's a good deck to reuse. It has a resin coated top and bottom 12mm thick.
