Part 9 - Time to cover up the rails that have been removed from the floor. Do I opt for laminate, vinyl or carpet?... and why? (Money of course, being a tight wad and bargain hunter!)
This video is largely in two parts...
Part 1: Plan A - Take out the middle seats and carpet the base of the van.
Part 2: Plan B - Having hit a problem - do not remove the seats due to the hooks maybe causing an issue to refit the seats later - and instead fit carpet on the areas that need covering.... oh and cut a carpet in the shape of a tank.
This whole process has been a learning experience. I think the key to a lot of it is to have an end goal in mind but understand to reach that destination you will need to be flexible in your plans and direction of travel. As you will sometimes just have to make it up as you go along!
Total costs £27.60:
Carpet £10
Carpet Edging £9.61
Velcro £7.99

____________________________________________
I've had numerous campervans and none of them have given me exactly what I want, which is the best possible driving experience, plenty of storage, and decent sized double bed. Too many camper van conversions focus on the looks as against the practical design.
So... with minimal knowledge and skills but plenty of ideas I have decided to set about creating one that fits my needs.
I apologise but I do not even know the difference between and "nut" and a "bolt", a "tin" and a "can" so please excuse me if the terminology is wrong. But hey... give me a few tools and I'll give things a go!
I am making a series of short videos purely as I needed to use youtube and the videos of others to help with the process and I could not always find exactly what I needed easily.
As with all designs and builds sometimes you have to revise plans as you go along. That is exactly what I did with this project.
I hope it helps to inspire other camper plans.
Please like and subscribe to follow the build process. Thank you.
