Our all-purpose van - Opel Vivaro

Hello,

this is our modified van - my daily driver and a family car. Feeling right at home wherever we roam. :banana:

Hey up, steering wheel is in wrong place.....:lol-049: seriously though, that's a nice van, and clever use of the under floor space, did you build it yourself?:drive:
 
Great van, something I'm seriously considering looking at.
Dual purpose then I don't need the car.
 
very nice, I like the roof with the quilted top it must be a lot warmer than the canvas type, would it be poss to share where you had it from please, Thanks Jo

LHD van, Opel instead of Vauxhall, lovely scenery in the background, the Detective in me thinks it isn't in the UK:king:, it is a nice van for dual purpose
 
I haven’t done the conversion by myself; would like to, but don’t have the tools, space and time – I have however gathered all the necessary materials and worked out the outlay which is naturally not a series production but rather a one off. This is a version of a long wheel based Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro, for which there are only limited productions of pop tops – it cannot be bought with likes of Reimo etc. (only for short wheel based),as it had to be ordered from Germany. The top cover is homemade and is removable, under it is a canvas pop top . The cover is applied on at freezing temperatures and/or wet/soaking weather. The material of the cover is similar to Gore-Tex.

About the background – the landscape is representative to the northern region of Slovenia, Central Europe.

Some specs of the van; Opel Vivaro, CDTI 2.0
60 l fresh water tank under the rear bank
60 l grey water tank under the van
95 Ah Acu placed in the rear bank
Diesel Eberspacher Airtronic D2 heater
Waeco CR50 compressor fridge
Double Dometic gas cooker
Thetford C 200 CS
Awning Fiamma F45S
Etc..

I knew you were not from Barnsley but the scenery looks stunning and somewhere I would love to visit, the next comment is a first from me because I never do it but 'welcome to the forum :welcome:'

You say Vivaro I say Vivaro...or.. you say Opel I say Vauxhall ...

Nice work on the Vivaro LWB.

I have one too...and I have a Fiamma F45s Awning in my House...waiting for some warm weather so I can fit it to the van. Took a lot of time measuring up to be sure it will fit OK - so it is re-assuring to see yours looking so good!


Thanks for posting.

Very nice van!

You've managed to get an awful lot into a standard height panel lwb panel van very neatly!

Slovenia is nice too (the bit of it I got to see when riding my motorcycle from Malta, Austria to Lake Bled is anyway!)
 
can I ask a dum girl question is a vivario similar in size to a VW transporter and does it go under the restrictive height barriers. I am looking for a multi purpose vehicle instead of a car been looking st VW transporters, Mercedes Vito never thought of a vivario.

If you look at this link Annie it gives you the dimensions of the standard roof and the high roof, it will be slightly lower in use because that is these are the unladen heights
standard 6' 5"
high roof 8' 2"
