	Hi all I have been working on another vivaro camper conversion for the last week or so. Its another ex Yorkshire water vehicle, 2ltr diesel,hi roof,short wheel base. So far I have removed all the dodgy bits in the van sch as security grills,racking and other bits. I have fitted a passenger seat swivel,sorted out the split charge electrics including removing lots of live cables with bare ends,lined all the doors and the passenger side rear,removed the front cupboard bulkhead and fitted a nice maple bulkhead with door.

	Hi all, I finally got around to finishing the Vivaro this week. I got delayed and side tracked by other projects but she''s now done bar a little bit of paint and some graphics.We are going to Ingleton in her for a few days tomorrow and then she will be sold on. I will be quite sad to see her go as she's been faultless and is easy to drive but I have a Citroen Relay hi roof to do next. This one will be going a bit more up market as it will have a bathroom!!. Cheers - mike

	Very nicely done, do you do this as a job or just a hobby?

	Hi there I do this for a living. I have been refurbishing campers and motor homes for 30 years but nowadays concentrate on conversions. I often build one offs to order to suit a customers needs. Cheers - mike

	Great work. I've just read through a few of your camper threads on here, and am impressed by the quality and turnaround time! I always imagined converting a fan into a camper to a reasonable standard wouldn't be too difficult. However, looking at your skills and the finished work, I'd say it looks fiddly as anything - decent skills clearly required!

	You are quite right about the fiddly bit. The key to success is planning and patience. The hardest part is getting everything to fit neatly, all the units have to be individually scribed to fit which can take a bit of doing. All in all just you just have to take your time and it all works out. Cheers - mike

	Got a bit carried away today and did some paint repairs. Wet flatted some of the scratches on the sides and machine polished before fitting some graphics. I don't normally fit graphics but I think they make it look less like a van. Hopefully she will sell fairly quickly as I have another coming at the weekend. Cheers - mike

	Mate that looks brilliant, but can I ask why you never put a window in the back at the offside? the cooker area seems so dark without one
	What looks right is not necessarily right, but what looks wrong is definitely not right!

	Hi there I do usually fit a window on the offside but decided to do this one slightly differently. These vans usually sell to older people, walkers and fishermen who want more of a day van and occaisional camper so I have deleted the window and the Heki roof vent. This means I can sell at a lower price but I can retrofit either in less than a day if required. Cheers - mike
