Stunning campervan SLATTED CEILING | Fiat Ducato | UK Self-build Campervan

We did it! After what seems like forever our wooden slatted campervan ceiling is up in the van and looks great! We're so pleased with it. This is the story of how we planned, prepared, insulated, cut, sanded, oiled, built and fitted our van ceiling. We made it from 5mm plywood painted black and 18mm by 70mm strips of pine stained with Osmo Wood Wax Oak to give it a golden finish. These were then glued and nailed together before the entire thing was lifted and fitted to the van roof! Please let us know if you have any questions in the comments below or over on our instagram @OurVanPlan and hope you enjoy the video!

WHO ARE WE?

We're Mark and Neil and this is Our Van Plan. We've always wanted a camper van and took the plunge in 2020 by ordering a brand new medium wheelbase (L2H2) Fiat Ducato. We are converting it ourselves into the van of our dreams with little previous experience. We're glad to have you along for the ride!
