How much did our DIY Camper Van Conversion cost? | COST BREAKDOWN

Curious about how much it really costs to convert a camper van on a budget? In this video, we break down the full cost of our DIY van build, covering everything from the van's price to insulation, flooring, walls, electrics, bed/bench, and kitchen. Whether you're planning your own van conversion or just looking for inspiration, this cost breakdown will give you insight into each stage of our Ford Transit camper conversion.
Join us as we spend a night in the stunning St. Margaret's Bay in Kent, staying at The Coastguard On The Bay pub’s car park, where campers are welcome. We woke up to the most amazing sunrise, making the perfect setting to reflect on our journey and expenses. We’ve also included build snippets to show how everything came together!

What would be your ‘must have’ item in a camper van build, regardless of the cost? 🤔

[@nathanstevful]

Full size fixed bed.

[@TakeAPeakAtThis]

We really wanted that too! We still do but for the size of our van, what we did was our best option! If we convert a larger van, we too would love a fixed bed!

[@dayvanadventure]

my next van it'll be a power supply and hob. I hate not being able to cook or even make a cuppa inside the van. I've got a wee gas stove for the nicer weather, but in the north east of Scotland that's maybe a couple of days per year 🤣🤣

[@TakeAPeakAtThis]

That’s sounds needed! We can’t wait to visit Scotland but can appreciate that warmer days are few and far between!

@@TakeAPeakAtThis I did a fixed bed across a swb Mk7 it was great for a bit but we realised we were sleeping squished up as it's just an inch or 2 to short. We have swapped to length ways now and just about to move the kitchen to the rear, that will work for us as we do most the cooking outside anyway. Doing a semi fixed bed, so we can move one section if we really need the space but solid for sleeping.
