    Your camper van is absolutely stunning - I'm blown away by your creativity and problem-solving skills! The pre-drilled planks and electrical work sound incredibly tricky, but your perseverance paid off. I'm excited to see all of the amazing adventures you'll have in your dreamy new home on wheels!

    Amazing work, especially that electrical stuff...what an achievement! Always best to do it yourself, that way you know how it works...and how to fix it if/when it stops working... Looking forward to your adventures in your home away from home!

    This is so cool to see you working through remodeling your van. I know who just bought a van and is now her living arrangements. But she still needs to make quite a few renovations. I will have to share this video with her!

      It was really a lot of fun doing it! I would love to rebuild it every year but that would be too time consuming 😂 definitely share it if you think she can learn something. That is the ultimate goal of this video. Helping others avoid the many pitfalls of a campervan build.

    What a cool video. Love the explanation mixed with the time lapses and work. You really did a great job! Did you have much experience before? What a transformation! The electric looked like the hardest part to me. What a place you built!

      Glad you liked it! Not any special experience in building anything of quality. RUclips helped and a vivid fantasy helps😂 thank you! I’m really happy with the build and look forward to great adventures in the campervan😊

    Hell yeah bro! This is epic! Something still on my bucket list is to do a camper van and drive across the US Canada and maybe through Mexico as well. God bless RUclips and the teach yourself videos on there. I love that you just said I'm gonna do this and you did it.

      Thanks for the comment dude! Love the positive energy! Yeah, just do it! It’s a dream of mine as well, the US and Canada is perfect for a roadtrip. Large and diverse and all of it accesible by road! I hope you get to do it! 😊

    This is so cool! I've always wanted to travel in a camper van! It's a smart tip to pre-drill holes in the planks. I can see how that could be crucial. The electrical stuff sounds super tricky! I'm impressed you were able to make it work. your problem solving and ingenuity is inspiring. Super cool that your bed solution came in a dream! You did an amazing job. It looks fabulous! That drawer is the best for sure!

    Wow, what an amazing project. I have been dreaming about making my own van like that as well. Often make plans in my head. I'm good at that as well! 😉
    I think you'll be happy to take it out in summertime!

    • @PetterHetland

      It really is a lot of fun to do a project like this! Highly recommended! Yes, looking forward to taking it out in the summertime!

    I've always wanted to build a van like this and go full time vanlife to give it a try. But it seems like there is so much more work behind it to actually make it come together. It was really interesting to see your thought process and you rebuilt this and I wonder too - how cold will too cold be for the van. Great work!

    • @PetterHetland
      @PetterHetland  Год назад

      It might seem hard to build, but RUclips is a great friend if you’re not sure how to do it!
      Well I didn’t document it well enough, but we slept in it at minus 15 celsius. It was a wonderful experience with the precautions we took to survive in the van in such temperatures 😅 a little portable heater was more than enough!
