Download or read book DIY Van to RV Conversion Guide How I Converted My Passenger Van Into A Campervan written by Ronan Harris and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIY Van to RV Conversion Guide - How I Converted My Passenger Van into A Campervan Before we start, let me first put your mind at ease by assuring you that a Van to RV conversion is not expensive, I did it, and I am here to share the whole process so you can do it too. If you are like me then you know and agree that most commercially available conversion vans are ugly and expensive. I wanted the luxury and comforts of an RV but in a vehicle that I can easily drive around town. If you are on a limited budget and want to start your new life as a full-time nomad like me, then this is the book for you. Any type of van can be easily and inexpensively converted into a roadworthy and comfortable camper. You can complete the conversion on your own in the comfort of your own backyard with few tools and some basic build knowledge. It's easy to build the home of your dreams when that home is on wheels! That could be you. Your DIY campervan could take you there. I have just finished my second van to RV camper renovation conversion. The first time, I thought I knew what I was doing but I really didn't. I didn't have the help of any sort of guidebook (like you will) when I took on my first project. I thought, "What could go wrong?" Well, I found out what could go wrong! For starters, my girlfriend wasn't the most comfortable settling into the van. Space wasn't laid out well and we were constantly tripping over each other. Not to mention that the first go-around, I didn't create any sort of cabinetry but decided to use milk crates to hold all our stuff. In this second try, I took my time documenting the steps and making better choices. I went a little fancier in the finishes and made the van much more livable for what I hope will be a long-term investment. In my book, I will tell you just how to turn your van into the camper of your dreams. I have also included tons of information for first-time van campers for boondocking, packing lists, and do's and don'ts for your amazing road trip. In this book, I will direct you on how to transform a van into a camper from scratch. There are many factors to consider when it comes to developing a DIY campervan. Each aspect of your living must be put in place nicely to ensure that you enjoy your life on the road. Since you will be spending most of your time in an RV, you are looking for space while at the same time, you want to include as many luxury features as possible. These aspects should be balanced delicately. You will learn: The history of conversion vans What types of vans you can use for your conversion and what each might benefit you How to make sure your van remains roadworthy and street legal What insurance you might consider How to set a budget (including a look at my conversion budget) What you should do BEFORE you start pulling the old carpeting out How to create a layout that will work best for you What tools and materials you'll need for your conversion Tons of advice for making your life in a van that much easier And, of course, comprehensive step-by-step instructional procedures on how to make your van a wonderful home on wheels. Be sure to review the table of contents before you click "Add to Cart" so you can know exactly what you're getting for your money. I sincerely hope this book helps you achieve your dreams of being a full-time nomad in your own self-made campervan. If I had this book from the start, I would have had a much easier experience!

This is the latest version of the handbook, fully updated and extended in August 2021. Each time you step into your motorhome, you'll feel the years fall away. A tingle of excitement builds as you sit in the cab seats. Day-to-day cares evaporate. As your wheels start to turn, you start to wonder. Just what's out there for you? Where will the road take you? What views will fill your windscreen? What tastes, sights and sounds will you discover? Each day is your own, you can choose where you want to be in the morning, drive and explore in the afternoon before enjoying a well-deserved meal in the evening. After a good night's sleep you can decide over breakfast whether to move on. Maybe you'll choose to stay and chill, depending on your mood, the weather or a local attraction you want to visit? A camper is a perfect way to slow travel and to live well. Motorhomes and camper vans offer a uniquely comfortable, safe and flexible way to travel. Fully equipped with modern features, they're a luxurious mode of transport. You can sleep in your own double bed, grab a cold drink, take hot showers, entertain visitors, stream the latest films, charge your gadgets and cook delicious meals. And that's without even stepping outside! We're Julie and Jason Buckley and over a decade of touring the UK, Europe and North Africa we've shared everything we've learned on the OurTour.co.uk motorhome blog. Travelling and living in our motorhomes has given us the most incredible freedom and adventures, sensations we want you too to enjoy. During holidays in our beloved camper, followed later by years-long full-time motorhome tours, we've stayed in over 1,000 different overnight stops in more than 30 countries. We've travelled tens of thousands of miles before writing this book (and made every mistake under the sun!). Yep, in among all the exploration and fun we learned many lessons, from choosing the wrong vehicle for our needs to breaking water boilers because we forgot to drain them down for winter. We want to give you the knowledge we've learned to help and inspire you on the next step in your motorhome journey. Whether that's hiring or buying your first van to choosing to retire and live full-time in your motorhome, this book has something for everyone. The Motorhome Touring Handbook is crammed with the very best advice, tips and tricks we've learned first-hand and from meeting hundreds of fellow travellers over the years. The book's arranged into three parts, quickly building your knowledge and confidence: Part 1 covers choosing and buying your motorhome and touring the UK. Part 2 moves on to your first road trip abroad. Part 3 takes you on the big one, your year-long tour of Europe. The Motorhome Touring Handbook is updated each year with all the latest information around legal requirements, internet access, toll roads and any new tips we learn ourselves or glean from the magnificent motorhome community.
