DIY Camper Van Conversion: 6-Month Van Build for Under $7K

Welcome to our DIY Camper Van Conversion video! In this video, we share the process of converting a van into a fully functional and livable space on a budget of under $7,000.
Over the course of 6 months, we transformed our van into a cozy home on wheels, complete with a comfortable bed, kitchen area, and plenty of storage.
If you're interested in converting a van into a camper but don't want to break the bank, this video is for you. We hope it inspires you to embark on your own van conversion journey. Thanks for watching!

I do'n't mean to seem critical but it is a shame that you didn't incorporate the cab area into the living space. By using revolving seats you could have gained two extra comfy reclining seats with armrests and the cab space would add a lot of extra space visually to the van . I always feel that its a mistake to allocate the largest space to the area where they spend the least amount of time ie the kitchen !. If the kitchen was placed at the rear end of the van you can open the rear doors to ventilate whilst cooking. The added advantage is that when you enter the van from the sliding side door you are not immediately conflicting with the cooking and preparation area by needing to pass through the kitchen to get to the seating area. Its a really nice camper van and you've clearly designed and planned it thoroughly. You work well together and I hope that you share many happy and memorable tours together.......well done .

*mold.... If you're going to insult someone at least get your grammar correct.

What oven stovetop combo is that its so sick

That's the Camp Chef Outdoor Camp Oven. It works like a charm! It's not meant for indoor use but if installed correctly there's no problem.

Beautiful build … bathroom???… u would never live in a home without a bathroom… why would you not build a bathroom in the van home u live in… public bathrooms are ok … but happens if you have the runs at 2 am…. ????

[@annaandjean]

We left an empty cabinet near the bed where there's enough room for a portable toilet but honestly, after a year of traveling in our van, we never felt the need to actually buy one! We wild camp most of the time so I guess the option of going outside is always there, you just have to remember to be eco-friendly and leave no trace! We invite you to watch our full tour video where we talk in-depth about that ☺

[@MotoMiles]

Mine has taken me 2 and a half months so far . honestly, it is definitely not as polished in the preparation and just alignment of everything as what I’m seeing here. I’m very impressed. And I installed a bathroom as well. I’m not entirely sure if I’m going to add other things I needed a kitchen, and in a dinette they convert to a bed. I’m converting a box truck, which of course is pretty easy because I don’t have the curved edges that a van will sometimes challenge you. I’m just really impressed with the van conversions. It seems to take so much savvy and skill.💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@annaandjean]

@@MotoMiles Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a pleasant comment. Good luck with your conversion! ☺

[@MotoMiles]

You are so welcome I’ll be following along your journeys

[@sikugord03]

We built a bathroom with shower. But I’m afraid if hubby gets the runs at 2am he’s outside with a shovel. Lol.
