We completed our beautiful conversion in June 2021 having spent around 4 months full time working on it. We spent a lot of time planning and crafting everything needed to live very comfortably in a van off-grid and with elements of luxury. Our ethos was to build it using sustainable and ethical materials where possible without compromising performance. We feel we have exceeded our own expectations and are proud of the outcome. Externally, apart from the windows we wanted to leave the camper as van-like and stealth as possible, making it easier for overnight stays in more densely populated/urban locations.
