      Build a good camper van is a really big deal - lot of work, enthusiasm, time and money ofc. For a first times to get a try you can just rent a RV van. There is a billion companies around a world offers that. As for me, i was dream about my own van based on VW Sprinter for around 10 years. But always when i started to calculate the prices to own - i got the understanding what in my case more efficient to rent one. I mean it should be a lifestyle - living like a Simon and Bene. Watching them from the start of a channel - really love them and got inspired. Peace :3
