  1. The drivers' seat are generally more worn out. 2. The armrest and lumbar adjustment are on the wrong side. Especially the armrest by the door is completely useless. 3. Standard single seat bolt should have been used for passenger's safety reasons. In case of an accident, the seat should remain in place and not fly out with the passenger through the windshield. The bolts should still be available at the dealership. 4. When playing with the seats, not being sure if the van is equipped with airbags and tensionners, the battery should be disconnected to avoid shortcuts causing potential problems with the airbag ECU and expensive repair. There is a special procedure on battery disconnection described it the owners' manual. 5. The seatbelts are different if the seat is equipped with a tensionner. So, as all drivers seat are equipped with it, the seatbelt clamp (?) won't fit if the van was not equipped with a passenger airbag and tensionner. Having those in mind (especially points 3, 4 and 5), I'd say the video is potentially dangerous and should not be considered as a tutorial.

  @@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 Don't you understand that using a threaded rod instead of a specially designed bolt for fixing the seat can lead to severe injury or even death? Have you even thought of forces that those bolts need to cope with in case of a crash? Let's say 80 kg passenger + 30 kg seat at 100 kmh / 60 mph? If no, please do :P

  If I was to do it again I would probably do a full roof rack to mount the solar panels on and as such, would seem sensible to mount the F80 to the side of it. I was worried about the height for operating it, but actually it would be fine (unless you are five foot nothing of course)

  Diy camper builders all seem to go down a black hole when it comes to insulation Inc you Let's put this into perspective No van or campervan on the planned is air tight Not one, if that was the case, People would die from a lack off oxygen. And with every justification to insulate. I can counter that argument because no one touches the cab area That's a 3rd off most vans If it was ubba critical to have to insulate or prevent heat loss, moisture etc etc at the back, why does that go out off the window when it comes to the cab Taking a realistic approach is something I've not seen by ANYONE

  2 years ago we converted a brand new Iveco Daily L4H3 which we now live in. That wasn't the plan originally but after two 90 day trips to Europe we hated being in a house. We stop warm air from touching cold metal by sticking foil bubble wrap to every inch of metal on the inside. We then insulated it with wool. 2 years on, a season sking in the alps and 2 summers in 30 degrees plus and we would recommend that method to anyone. We have no damp and the only condensation we get is on the windows of the cab.

Ive just thought that the front door deadlocks are not in the video, if not then I did fit them afterwards...

  @@acontemporaryyogi-jonnyhun5303 The renogy instructions will tell you the cable size and fuse size for their components. as for the battery, you need to consider what your maximum 'pull' will be if everything is on at the same time and then 'round up' suitably from that. even though a battery can output 200A, in reality, it never actually outputs that much at any one time as the total load demand in the van is probably not that high. I would however think about at least 50mm and maybe 70mm depending on your loads? hope that helps. the fuse then covers the cable max amp rating, not the battery max output!!

  I've just finished modifying my van seat, and I want to give a shoutout to Wiltshire Custom Camper for their helpful video. I encountered a few hiccups during the process that I'd like to share to make things clearer for others attempting the same project. Firstly, a big mistake I made was forgetting to pass the threaded bolt through both the seat base hole and the seat hole. This oversight caused confusion when the "up and down" mechanism didn't work as expected. Once I corrected this, I still faced issues with the rear "up and down" function. After some troubleshooting, I realised that the seat hole must have the ability to rotate to allow the seat to rise and fall at the back. This meant that the nuts securing the two holes together couldn't be tightened all the way. There needs to be some room for rotation. Also, as mentioned in the video, some black plastic conduit does tidy it up nicely, leaving a professional finish. I hope this tip proves helpful to someone else tackling the same task.
