  • Welcome to our DIY Camper Van Conversion video! In this video, we share the process of converting a van into a fully functional and livable space on a budget of under $7,000.
    Over the course of 6 months, we transformed our van into a cozy home on wheels, complete with a comfortable bed, kitchen area, and plenty of storage.
    If you're interested in converting a van into a camper but don't want to break the bank, this video is for you. We hope it inspires you to embark on your own van conversion journey. Thanks for watching!

    I do'n't mean to seem critical but it is a shame that you didn't incorporate the cab area into the living space. By using revolving seats you could have gained two extra comfy reclining seats with armrests and the cab space would add a lot of extra space visually to the van .
    I always feel that its a mistake to allocate the largest space to the area where they spend the least amount of time ie the kitchen !.
    If the kitchen was placed at the rear end of the van you can open the rear doors to ventilate whilst cooking. The added advantage is that when you enter the van from the sliding side door you are not immediately conflicting with the cooking and preparation area by needing to pass through the kitchen to get to the seating area.
    Its a really nice camper van and you've clearly designed and planned it thoroughly. You work well together and I hope that you share many happy and memorable tours together.......well done .

    • @annaandjean
      @annaandjean  Рік тому +2

      We left an empty cabinet near the bed where there's enough room for a portable toilet but honestly, after a year of traveling in our van, we never felt the need to actually buy one! We wild camp most of the time so I guess the option of going outside is always there, you just have to remember to be eco-friendly and leave no trace! We invite you to watch our full tour video where we talk in-depth about that ☺

      Mine has taken me 2 and a half months so far . honestly, it is definitely not as polished in the preparation and just alignment of everything as what I’m seeing here. I’m very impressed. And I installed a bathroom as well. I’m not entirely sure if I’m going to add other things I needed a kitchen, and in a dinette they convert to a bed. I’m converting a box truck, which of course is pretty easy because I don’t have the curved edges that a van will sometimes challenge you. I’m just really impressed with the van conversions. It seems to take so much savvy and skill.💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    I bet the van goes like the clappers with 500 kg of crap in it
    The fuel economy must also be amazing
    Hint just pack a tent put all the money you save in fuel and use it to stay in the occasional motel
