Hi! My name is Kevin, I'm a 27 year old creative director from Sweden currently working as head of marketing at an e-commerce. Over the summer of 2023 I decided to buy a Citroen Jumper 2008 and build my fully custom DIY camper to travel around Europe while working remote.
This meant I had to create a complete workstation & editing studio inside my van, but I didn't stop there. I went all in on my design, creating a 3D design in Blender for the whole build with attention to every detail. With a modern yet organic Scandinavian design while staying on a relatively low budget. With a fixed bed, multiple solar panels, big skylight, proper desk setup, green & beige color combination and limewash textured walls I have successfully built the van of my dreams.

So insanely proud to finally show you the result of the blood, sweat & tears me and my dad put into this build!!🚐 What was your favourite part? Drop a comment or your next bag of chips will me 90% air..
My fav part was when the whole video, so well done, Kevin!
Insane!! Dream van!!
Many people in America don’t have toilets or showers in their vans, while in Europe everybody has.
the editing is peak
Thank you!
what a build!!! absolutely incredible
ayyy thanks buddy!! appreciate you
What an amazing van build! This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking about in terms of materials and layout. Hats off to the super clean execution!
Oh wow, what a comment! Thank you so much! Glad you liked it.
From my european perspective I don’t understand why many people in America don’t have shower in their vans.
Here in Europe everybody has a shower in a van of this size. This is the main reason people move from small vans to bigger ones.
And in the USA you see a lot of Sprinter or RAM promaster vans without toilet and shower.
Beautiful van and FINALLY A van series with some professional video quality!🔥
Thank youuu, couldnt have done it without you.🫶

@@kevinkenell You're welcome! How did you do the beige finish on your walls? I'm about to paint my walls, yours looks incredible!
@@pet_cow_5452 I used two shades of normal matt paint, and painted it in a cross fashion. I wanted limewash but it’s technically impossible but I’m so happy with how this turned out.
@@kevinkenell thanks for the reply!!! Truly, you put so much thought into the aesthetics of your van, it's seriously an incredible effort!
Vilken grym kärra!
Stort tack Jens!🫶
Omg! 😳 I came here from instagram and this is even better than what I imagined! Sorry, but I’m obsessed with this design. So many new ideas for my very own van. How’s the gas mileage for the van with the added weight? Can’t wait to see the series!
Aww thank you so much!🥹 oh I’m actually not sure 🤔
Leeeeets goooooooo!
Yeeeessssuuurr!!
Jäklar va fet!🤩
Big thanks!!🙏
Wow congrats! Beautiful! Love the design and colours. What happened at Nice..? (I’m French)
Thank you Jessica! Appreciate that. I'll share a video about that story when I get a chance hehe!
Snygg video, snygg bil, snygg kille 🤷♀🙈🤩
WOW! The ultimate mancave i husbilsformat ju 👏🏽 Bygger du vår nästa van eller? 😄
Hahah thanks guys! That would be sick honestly!!😍
hi mate!!! I loved your van! I'm building my own right now! How did you build the walls? can you share me some quick tips? there is a thin wood panel, then painted or covered with some sheet? thanks for sharing man!
Hey man! Thanks for tuning in. I have a wooden frame then I used 4mm plywood for my walls and painted it. I’m working on creating a van building learning space, but maybe you’ll be finished before that’s ready. If you need more guidance let me know!
Very nice van. What color are the cabinets painted? What is this color called? It looks very beautiful. 🙌
Thank you Felix! It's called Northern Mystic.
Skit snygg van!! Fan så tråkigt med Nice :/
Tack snälla Sune! We shall overcome 🙏
Awesome to see how it turned out man! Love following your adventures ever since finding you on Instagram. How’s the van now after they broke in?
Thank you so much!! As soon as I’ve ordered and replaced the outdoor siren that got thrown out, it has thankfully been fully restored.🥹
yoo why UA-cam didn't recommend you to me earlier, I was 8 months late since the beginning of this journey!
Best is yet to come, glad you’re here now!
So sorry you got broken into🫣😔
Beautiful but… no toilet or shower? 😮
At the point of finishing the build I was actually planning on not having a toilet, and just going outside or on public toilets, but I ended up getting one at a later point. I actually talk more about this in my latest video! I shower using my sink tap, turning it outside the van. 😊
🎉😢😢
France lol.... Thats your first mistake!...And your second mistake, France!!
looks so beautiful and the space is utilised fantastically :D Great video Kevin, loved it!!
Thank you Niko, that means a lot!❤️
Wow congrats! Beautiful! Love the design and colours. What happened at Nice..? (I’m French)
Thank you Jess! I'll make sure to tell that story sooner than later!
