MiniVan Conversion
Nissan NV200 van turned into a weekend camper van. The client had purchased this van new and was looking for something to camp in for the summer weekends.
​
The bench top flips over and a framework slides out to form the bed platform. The client purchased the bench/bed cushions after the van was completed, which is why they are not pictured.
​
The client also purchased a small battery pack to supply the rear of the van with DC power. I built a small cubby for the battery pack so it could be removed if the client wanted to use it outside or in a tent. The cubby is removable and wired into the van's power source, this way when the van is running the battery pack is getting charged.
​
This battery pack also runs the water pump for the sink on a dedicated circuit.
Teardrop Trailer Rebuild.
This teardrop trailer was built by the owner years before and had taken on water damage in the rear hatch and galley section.
​
The original plan was to just repair the hatch, but it turned into a much bigger project. The water damage was too severe and there were a number of structural issues that needed to be addressed.
​
A new rear hatch was built and a sealing design was used implementing two water tight seals instead of one. The original main roof beam that supported the original hatch was insufficient, so a laminated 3 beam replacement was fitted.
​
The original interior roof skin, galley wall and complete electrical system were scrapped.
The entire interior was rewired and a new fuse box was built. I also took the liberty of installing a number of electrical outlets in the cabin and galley.
The interior roof skin was replaced with insulation being installed between the outer roof skin and new inner roof skin.
