[Dogslow]

We are converting an exparcelforce Iveco Daily LWB High top into a camper van.

Up to now the windows are in (bonded) two captains chairs, split relay leisure battery,
Aircon,Electric hook up thingy fixed to the side of the van.
And now I am lining with Kingspan and then ply lining.

BIG RED was bought from someone called PAT.It is on a 55 plate with full service history

Hi and Welcome to MH Fun:welcomefunster:

Never considered DIY but if you have the skills why not.

There are people on here who have already built and will be sure to help if you have troubles.

Best of luck.

Hi Dogslow, I have seen some superb self builds, I just wish I had the skills and did not have the patience of a psychopath or I would have a go myself. Post some pictures. When will she make her maiden trip then?

Hi Dogslow... welcome to the Fun... IMO Ivecos are superb vans... I have a Self-Knocked Together Iveco 35-12 (that's right, turbo and intercooled !) in which I live and travel the roads of Europe.

Strangely, despite having a hand cut Parquay floor, none of the many Funsters who have actually seen my conversion recommend others to use it as a "role model" to copy...

Good luck, and take your time! Self builds either come as awful or awesome.

I remember seeing an old dodge 50 one day - looked a hideous hippy wagon - you should have seen the inside....absolutely astonishing, and would put the big converters to shame. Looked like something you would expect to see on a design show.

The guy had said that the 'outside is next' - if it was anything like the inside, it will look superb, even if an old shape.
