The Citroën Jumpy (badged Citroën Dispatch in some countries) is a light commercial van jointly developed by Fiat Group and PSA Group (currently Stellantis), and mainly manufactured by Sevel, a joint venture between the two companies since 1994. Renault Trafic (for the basis of the Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro).Insulate it with few types of materialsħ. Remove pasanger bench, find a seat and install itĦ. It took me half a day to remove plastics and cut it perfectly round.įew days ago I was bored and i tinted the two lateral windows. I had to search on the intyernet and buy it from Portugal. I hate the thing that it hasn't a closed glove box. So I told the guy the van it's mine.ģ.Only 2 seats NOPE - it's the cabine crew, for 6 pasangersįirst thing I did was to remove the separation They told me that they'll suppose to recieve one, brand new, in a week or two. Last one was a Fiat dealer from a city which is at 15km away from where I live. I called in at least 7 big cities and nothing, no van in stock, I didn't want to wait half an year to have one. I was searching the Fiat Talento/Renault Trafic/Nissan NV300/Opel-Vauxhall Vivaro. For the actual price of one van, few years ago, you could buy two. Here in Spain vans, even the 2nd hand ones, are so bloody expensive. I have around 2 years thinking of selling the old van and buy a new one. It came the time to say bye bye to the "scudo furguer". it seems to have become very handy for many to give it multiple uses "Battery tray" and The "Vent box" in the rear left I think is just that to allow pressure difference for shutting doors ETC. It would seem whither LHD or RHD the vans lay out in back is the same. If you can find the build for Tee-Cee's "old van" IIRC he made a raised battery tray and sat it on our drivers side of inner wing and modified the screen washer filler That's exactly where my battery is also with a few of the electric gubins around the wheel well area I've also put my heater pipes through that handy vent in the corner. I've managed to squeeze my leisure battery next to the starting battery in the engine bay but I'm limited to 75Ah because of space. Hey that's a genius place for the battery. Hopefully tomorrow I'll try to sand all units and prepare everything for the painting job.Ĭan't wait to install the battery and the heater. Removing panels I noticed that on the right side of the van (left hand drive model) there´s a nice place to fit a battery (38cm L x 23cm W x 20cm H) and on the left side, there's a hole with a plastic cover where I could fit the exhaust pipe and the air intake of the heater I was the manager of the project, drinking beer and giving ordersĮvery time I meet one of my friends I end up buying new things hahaha, a 90Ah extra battery and a 5kW parking heater Due that I can't use my left hand my gfr and few of my friends did it for me. Next step was, remove everything and insulate. During the process I drilled my index finger and cut a tenton LOL, so now I can't work. Still need to do some things to make it bigger. I also noticed that bellow of it was full of s*it n dirt. I was suprised to see that the floor is insulated with few cm of high density of polyurethane foam. I had to remove the floor to visualise the points I can use to screw the furniture. In the In the meantime, I also rehydrate all the plastics and remove weird stains. I found a very good deal on a Spanish website, 190cmx130cm cut in 5 pieces for 150€. These days I might purchase the foam for the bed. Next thing is to remove all panels and insulate the entire van.Īlso have to think on an interior side surf rack. Then next step for the furniture is to sand, paint and varnish. Still have to assemble the last two modules, I think tomorrow will be all done. Other tools like, self centering jig, router bits, push button lock and so, are from AlieExpress hahahahaha. With it all the cuts are so straight and precise. With a normal circular saw it’s kinda impossible, so I took a look on Amazon and found a circular saw track. The worst part was the table, so I had to make a bloody engineering work.Īlso got stock cutting the plywood, all the cuts have to be damn straight. It has a small water stain, but due that I want to paint and varnish it, it doesn´t really matter.Īctually this van it’ll be just for few months till I’ll get a bigger one, so I don’t wanna invest a lot of money.įirst of all, I removed the back seats and measure it carefully. I found a wood warehouse which sells it for a good price (124cmx90cm), 15€. Speaking with friends I found that the best wood is the plywood made by populus. Using bad wood and an inflatable mattress is not the best option. Last year I kinda camperize my van on a gipsy style and was not that comfortable.
