DIY Camper Van Conversion | Full Build Timelapse

A 9 month camper van conversion which took an estimated 500hrs to complete, shortened down to a 20 minute timelapse. The van is fully off-grid and self contained and includes a shower and toilet. We converted this van with no prior van building experience and completed the build in our spare time and holidays while working full time.
If you want to see any of the build in more detail, we have 31 detailed build videos documenting each part of the build on my other channel: • Van Build

Honestly one of the best layouts I've seen. You've got everything. Shower, bed, garage, kitchen, storage and crawl space to get through to the cab. Love it 😍

Thanks so much! A lot of planning went into fitting everything we wanted into it

[@JoAnneJustice]

Hi, what did you use to design your van?

[@juliustinkers]

I used sketchup. Would recommend and it’s free!

[@thelittleatari9664]

@@juliustinkers Thankyou! Love the video. Really helpful.

[@juliustinkers]

Glad you found it helpful 😊 I did a more detailed vid on planning the layout with sketchup which is on my other channel (there’s a link in the description of this vid to the playlist)
