Thought I would share my caddy camper build with you, its still a WIP but almost there.
My job involves being away 4 days at a time and driving around 1300 miles a month so wanted something reliable, nice to drive, efficient and just enough room to live in for short periods. I was using my old LT35 conversion but it didnt meet any of the above criteria and soon let me down!
I bought the Caddy in September and have been slowly converting it since then. Ideally I wanted some furniture from the ply guys but couldnt justify the cost so set out to build it myself in a similar style. I need to use it all year round so will be well insulated and include a diesel heater and leisure battery set up that can be off grid but also have shore power.
I will be doing the following:
- Fully sound deadened
- Insulated with 10mm foil backed foam and then 50mm insulation
- Line the sides and ceiling with 6mm birch ply, the ceiling will have a topo pattern on it and remote controlled led spotlights
- Laminate flooring
- A slide out bed made from plywood and a kitchen with large drawer on heavy duty runners to slide out the side door but also be able to use the stove inside too.
- Chinese diesel heater, installed in the rear drivers side footwell
- 100ah lithium leisure battery with victron dc to dc charger, 2kw inverter and shore power hook up all installed in the rear passenger side footwell
Once this is done i will start to upgrade the van slowly, firstly with new seats maybe cruise control if not too much hassle and a wrap as im not a huge fan of the BG blue!
