VW T5 Camper Conversion - 4K Timelapse

Introducing Admo our VW T5 Campervan
- 23 days to convert
- Over 200 hours of work
- 49933 timelapse images taken
- Several cut knuckles
- Lots of swear words
= 1 finished camper and many adventures to come!
All of the suppliers are listed at the end of the video 😊 (minus the fridge, which we forgot... Webasto CR49 directly from Webasto)
RIP Flipp, our previous campervan that sadly got written off!

    Thanks Adam! We were quite relentless with ours, we only had weekends to work on it, so they were sometimes 14+ hour days to get the work done. We were under pressure with time as this was a replacement van. Someone crashed into our previous one and wrote it off so we had to get the new one done in time before our trip away at Christmas :) We finished it with 2 days spare!

Although its an awesome build & video, I'd love to learn more about what went in in the planning stages....or was it "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants" kinda planning? What are the "units"? They look like puzzle pieces that were made to fit the van..... (Actually they remind me of Ikea for vans!!!!) Was this your 2nd conversion? How did you get it layered? how did you plan the bed? Thanks so much ... and have a life-time of memories!!## Lauri

    Windkisssed hey! We don't have any plans as we sort of just did a bit of online research and went from there (also whatever annoyed us on the last van, we looked at coming up with a solution to fix it) our last van got written off so it gave us the opportunity to improve the layout. The units were from a company called Evo Motion Design, its cnc cut flat pack units designed to fit a T5 so you're right, a bit like Ikea for vans 😊 You can pick different layouts to suit your needs. We chose this one to optimise storage space as much as possible. For the bed, we didn't have much to choose from, we wanted as much storage underneath it as possible and to keep it within budget. This one fit our needs the best. We'll be uploading a van tour soon showing how everything works and where we store everything 😊

    absolutely incredible! Something I really want to do so thank you for the videos and list of suppliers. It's a pipe dream at the moment due to cost, but at least after seeing your video, with the result and level of quality it something more achievable that buying a pre-converted van which appear massively out of our price range.

  • @AdventuresofSarahJames

    @AdventuresofSarahJames

    5 жыл бұрын

    Simon Johnson it can definitely be done cheaper than what we spent (we know as our last van we converted cost us significantly less 😊) but we’d always recommend converting your own if you’re happy to invest the time, we saved about £4000 doing it ourself over buying a pre converted one or paying someone else to convert it for us. Hope your dream becomes a reality soon!

    Nice job! I've done a few vans and I know the trial and error. I remember having carpet and wood on the ceiling with posts coming down are the "bar" area. I sat there one late night and it just wasn't coming together- it didn't look right. So, I took a hammer to it which made me start over, The 2nd product was perfect. I could have just left it, because it was done and nobody would ever noticed. But ME. So I appreciate what you did. Again, great job.

We got a layout that works perfectly for us and how we use our van and most importantly we know how absolutely everything works and where all the important components are, so if something breaks or fails (which is more common than you’d think) we know exactly where it is and how to fix it without having to pay someone else to do it for us 😊

    Hi, I have just recently started to think about buying a campervan and follow California Camping on KZread. I have watched a number of vlogs by a number of people, some well known, others not so much and I stumbled across your channel and watched this video which I really enjoyed. Brilliant that you were able to do all of this yourselves. Looking at your other videos, I like it that you manage keep the van clean and tidy as some other vloggers put up videos that would turn a lot of people off van life as their vans are in a constant state of disarray and quite frankly look as skanky as the people in them. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the comment Steve :) Lizzy and Shaun are lovely and their videos are great! Good luck with your search for a camper :D ultimately having a white van interior does mean it takes a lot of effort to keep it clean and looking smart. Our view is we spent so much time and effort converting it, that it would be a shame to let it get a mess. Don't get us wrong, it does get dirty as white is an impossible colour to keep clean, but we make sure we clean up as much as we can to keep it tidy :)
