  • Van Life Couple Built This AMAZING Camper Van We Built Our DREAM Campervan To Travel The World In. Our DREAM Van Build Is Finally Complete and it's time for a van tour. After 7 months and being locked down in England our new van build for van life is finished, We took a VW crafter LWB and converted it into a luxury mobile home on wheels, After always having smaller van builds we thought while we had the time on our hands it would be the perfect opportunity to build a new van and we did it in the style we wanted and we are both very proud of it, our VW crafter camper conversion is all ready to hit the road and start travelling

    Just for information we have found that just using a single Maxair fan is sufficient by having it pushing air out
    At the other end of the van a 400mm sq ceiling window which is left open, doing this allows cool air to be sucked into the van due to the pressure change caused by the Maxair,
    We have found this to be a good solution even in Spain during the summer,
    And don't forget maxairs use quite a bit of 12v

Does add a very nice touch. Ok that was pretty brilliant to add the led strip. Great idea to have that faucet where it can be positioned to outside. Seriously love poppy having her own little space. I love the indoor/outdoor tv. That's another great idea! Yeah I'm sure she did do most of the work, but we'll just let that topic lie right there lol. It really is a wonderful build.

    God she's a glorious van. really do love the use of wood in the roof and sides, the lights and the bed. Really looks like an outdoor retreat.
    You also have a proper oven, and a proper shower in a van, the tv was genius. Actually, the whole thing is genius.
