My self build nissan campervan, the stormtrooper transporter

So, first job was to remove the ply panels and floor and give it a cleanup inside, then started with sound deadening tiles, insulation and a new floor, I used rockwool battens and 7mm self adhesive foam for insulation and foil bubble for the floor under the new ply.





Shortly followed by the bed frame, aluminium angle rails were bolted to the vans side ribs, then a timber frame fastened down to the rails, the reason I went half height with the bed, and used the 7mm foam insulation on the top half was to gain bed length.











Then got o



Then got on with building out the underside of the bed, space for the fridge in the middle, this is a tough box so can be used as a step up onto the bed, and started on the wiring and plumbing.

Next job was to clean up the wiring, add the 240v hookup which is hidden behind the back bumper and fit the water tank, I have a 32ltr cold tank with internal fill point above the fridge, a 10ltr hot water tank that runs off 240v or 12v, by a company called bobil vans, it's agreat piece of kit.
So we have running hot and cold water, 260ah of battery power for lights, charging phones etc, a b2b charger from the vans alternator, a diesel night heater and of course a gas hob and sink.
The kitchen pod is 900mm high so comfortable to stand at.
I still need to fit some solar but waiting on the weather warming up a bit.

all the carpeting looks great, is it glued in place?

Nice work, looks great buddy

Thanks grizz, the tv isn't permanent, it's for the winter nights when it's just too cold or wet to sit out!

That's the older stuff, this is polypropylene so should have a life over 20yrs, hopefully!

A Cayenne is probably heavier, tbh.

The 2006 cayenne weighs 2200kg, I weighed the van and with 2 people and half a tank of diesel it came out at 2300kg, that's with all the gear installed, should be fine!
Cheers.

Ah that's spot on then, pretty lightweight considering all that you've fit into it.
