Camper Van Build Guide
So, you are thinking about buying and converting a van into a camper?! Congrats. It is a fun process. We started dreaming up the idea of buying a used cargo van and converting it into a tiny home, to travel North America, back in January of 2017. Eight months later, we had a complete mobile office and adventure mobile. The process of converting a van is a lot of work, but so rewarding, between having done it ourselves and what we learned in the process. Through our camper van build guide, ee will be sharing our build process by explaining the step by step details, materials research and tips we learned along the way. We hope these articles will inspire you in your own van conversion, as well, shorten the learning curve.
