DIY Campervan Conversion | Full Build TIMELAPSE (6 Months)

We spent 6 months converting this van and filmed the entire process (or at least 90% of it...)! Watch as we convert an empty 2023 high roof, extended length Ford Transit into a luxury home on wheels.
We hope you enjoy getting a sneak peek into what went into our latest van conversion!
As always, we thank you for your support and for following along.

    We had a Ford Transit camper -UK version- many years ago(about 1975) with a dining set/convertible to double bed, over-the-cab-bed for our boys & a cupboard with toilet, and of course a kitchen - about 5ft of cupboards with sink. It had none of the special built in electrics & plumbing of your beautiful version, but to be honest we seemed to have all we needed for our generally 3 or 4 day stays in the mountains/empty beach spot in North Wales. We parked the camper right above the long empty beach ! A wonderful way to go on vacation IMO ! Enjoy your gorgeous creation, it is one of a kind. I particularly loved your shower/toilet arrangement - there is nothing quite so wonderful as enjoying the countryside or seaside with your own home & conveniences right there as you travel !

    There is no way you could buy a conversion built by ANY manufacturer to compare with this. I am picking up my new Sprinter 4x4 tomorrow, and am going go do a conversion. Your video has convinced me NOT to do it, but rather to just keep mine simple. I could never imagine producing something as awesome as yours. And then to have your family together doing it...insanely admirable to say the least. It is not the quality of the van built, it is the quality of the family you are building.

Ми в захваті від того як якісно ви виконуєте всі роботи по переобладнанню фургона в комфортний будинок, і це надихає нас мріяти про те, що колись ми зможемо також зробити власний автодім. Бажаємо вам міцного здоров'я і натхнення зробити ще дуже багато цікавих проектів. А ми з нетерпінням будемо чекати нових відео від вас. Ви дуже круті!) Дякую
