Fiat Ducato camper build

Finally fitted the last wall to the toilet/shower. Put an LED quadrant strip light vertically in the corner. Still need to silicone the joints, but we’re getting there.

also got the tambour door fitted. Makes a huge difference to how complete the van feels.

The underslung tanks are finally in too, and we got the courage to test the blown air and water heater systems. Thankfully they both work!

Still a bit to do, mainly finishing off small enough details, it’s a fully functioning van now though which is a huge relief.

Same!

Finally got the shower toilet room finished 😄

Actually, still need to fit the receiver for the tambour door, which is why the cabinet door doesn’t go all the way across.

Good example of how the folding bed works when you want to move something big. We needed to move 7 internal doors, not a bother!

There’s still a few small jobs to do but not important ones. Heading off again tomorrow - it was a long time coming to this point!

Hi Graham, that part of things is quite straightforward. We knew what was required from the time we did the Transit so there weren’t any shocks. A good SQI will run through things with you in advance.

Fitted the updated digital controller for the Propex heater. Works a lot better than the old rotary controls, and matches the other CBE switches, symmetry is restored!

And then a bit bigger of a task!

The van was sitting quite low in the back, mainly because it’s a 335 standard duty model and not a 435/Maxi.

Over the last week we fitted air suspension, there’s bags in place of the spring assisters, they have their own gauges and up/down switches. The pump lives inside the drivers side step, all hidden away. Bit of a tricky job routing the air lines (we brought them through the inside of the chassis rails for neatness and added complexity)

You can see here it was sitting quite low.

Much better now, and because both sides can be raised and lowered independently, it’ll make levelling it when parked way easier.
