Stormsie's journey from panel van to camper started today.

Really enjoyed reading this. Your van and conversion is very similar to mine. Iv sound proofed all my panels and also stuck some foil lined foam insulation on top of sound deadening pads. Then as you have done im intending on filling the gaps with recycled plastic insulation so hoping it be snug.
Took it to work today for 1st time since doing sound deadening and what a difference! Was very impressed with the effect it had......when i shut the doors now it sounds like a golf! Haha
 
Thanks. Yep the sound deadening makes a massive difference. Shutting the doors to a nice sold dull thud rather than a echoy rattle is a tick in the self satification box :lol-053:
 
Finally got the seat/bed cushions covered

and got my 150w solar panel installed

Still awaiting her indoors to get the curtains done and that species has the nerve to say this species is slow :lol-061:

Also had the cooker pressure tested today and that's all ok, so hopefully get the gas locker fitted this week.
 
Looking really well! Finally mounted my solar panels also using same mounts as you. Not as easy as i expected but happy with result.
Looking well though
 
Got one of the Aldi specials couple of weeks ago so all good on the loo front

Well it's official. Got my V5 back today and Stormise is now a Motor Caravan. Happy days. I'll get some photos up later this week of the finished project, when I get her back from the van hospital. She's currently getting her clutch and DMF replaced.
 
interesting build... thanks for all the piccies..... did you weigh the van before and after the refit ? so you know your payload for "stuff"?
 
Nah as I've only got the basics in there tbh. The bed will be lighter than a standard Rock n Roll bed for starters and the kitchen unit is less that half the size of the units fitted in north/south style conversions. I will take it to a user friendly weigh station fully laden to check but I'm not worried really.
