    Hey mate, thoughts on using strips of 1" plywood cut to 2" widths rather than your 1"x2" pine? Not sure if it'd be cheaper or stronger or worse on both fronts? Great video, nice to have someone working in mm (despite my comments measurements 😅)

    • @SALTYVANVENTURES
      @SALTYVANVENTURES 6 дней назад

      I suppose it is possible although I have 2 concerns. Firstly 1 inch thick plywood is so heavy and would be hard to manage, especially if stripping down by yourself on a table saw. is hard enough with 15mm which is half that of what you're suggesting. Secondly, I think this wouldn't end up being cheaper, nor worth the effort than just being dressed 2x1's. I like your out of the box thinking though!

    Great job building up your van and getting it certified as a campervan! I know you have re-registered due to insurance but would there be any issues on modifying a van and not re-registering as a camper? I’m a bit unsure how I should go because of the electrical work(solar panels running only off grid)? Cheers

    • @SALTYVANVENTURES
      @SALTYVANVENTURES 8 дней назад

      My understanding is that the insurance companies that insure campers are requiring the certificate to insure your van for the agreed value. This being the van itself as well as the fit out inside. You could call the insurance companies to ask to clarify.

    • @SALTYVANVENTURES
      @SALTYVANVENTURES 12 дней назад

      There are threaded inserts built into the roof under the plastic covers that you need to remove to see. there should be 4 on each side. Then you can bolt your roof rack into them. From memory they are m8 threads

      @@SALTYVANVENTURES Thanks so much love your work ! The foam board is so easy to work with Thanks for the idea However, but you need to use spacers on roof instead of spray adhesive to get the best insulation (told by foam board) This creates a 10mm space of air from outside skin which is super important Maybe you did it with no space to get more height but you did have a space between roof lining and board which doesnt work as well they say There is foil both sides by the way too The green side is for where you have no lining and weant less glare xx

    What about adding a sway bar... Hellwig makes some and Ford has OEMs...

    • @SALTYVANVENTURES
      @SALTYVANVENTURES 6 дней назад

      Interesting. I haven't looked into that option, although I suppose this would only solve the issue of the van swaying around corners more due to the weight of the conversion. This might be an option for some people if they are experiencing that, but with this Supersprings and Sumosprings system, it gave us back the ride height that we lost, a smoother more comfortable ride, as well as solving the sway which seemed like the best solution for us.

    Why do you need to upgrade the suspension if the vehicle is made to be able to hold multiple adults? Seeing the passanger configurations it seems like at least 8 adults which is like 180 pounds each (1440 pounds)

    • @SALTYVANVENTURES
      @SALTYVANVENTURES 26 дней назад

      Because the weight of the build is quite heavy. It’s not just about being able to drive around. It’s about being able to drive around comfortably so that’s why I needed to upgrade the suspension. The weight of the permanent conversion was made the van uncomfortable to drive.
