VW T6 Campervan Conversion | Carpeting, Ply Roof Panels and Fixing the Bed

Can we convert a van into a campervan with limited DIY experience? | Campervan Conversion Carpeting, Roof Panels and Fixing the Bed

We were supposed to be travelling around Australia and New Zealand in a campervan right now. Since we had to cancel those plans we decided to buy a second hand VW Transporter T6 lwb kombi van and we're attempting to convert it into our own wheelchair accessible campervan. Neither of us have a huge amount of DIY skills and Craig's spinal cord injury brings an extra challenges to DIY so this will definitely be an interesting project! Hopefully we can prove that it is possible to self-convert your own campervan as both a wheelchair user and when you have no DIY experience.

This week we started with one of our least favourite parts of the van conversion so far - we carpet lined the wheel arches and back pillars of the van with 4-way stretch carpet. Then we painted our new ply roof panels and installed jack nuts on the roof and walls. if you watched the last video in our van conversion series you'll we had some issues with fitting the bed in the van so we also had to make some adjustments to that

We got our flat pack sliding bed from van furniture:
