Micro Camper Van Conversion of Citroen Berlingo UK with Hungarian Puli Van Life 2020
In the east end of Glasgow, I spent Lockdown working on an old Citroen Berlingo. This van was then made into a micro camper!
Rozi, my Hungarian Puli, was a great help and inspiration.
It was made for well less than £2000. It took about two months in total.
It used lots of recycled goods, eco-friendly and vegan-friendly products and materials.
Music by Lisa Hannigan and Laura Gibson, I have no copyright, I just think they're great singers.

I did enjoy this video. Very often people who makes these sorts of videos are self absorbed. Wanting to find their Nirvana to the exclusion of all others . It gets a bit same. Here we just have an ordinary guy tyvm
Lewis Kelly, no faffing,no glitter . Simple and not even £2k. It can be done. Stunned.Thank you.
Absolutely love it!
We have that exact same Lino in our kitchen! Clearly you are a man of good taste!
Well done simple and humble it does the same job as a bit fancy motor home, I have van and go what I call wild camping ,not bad for 68 year old love the freedom small van can go every where into carports which bigger vans and motor home can't. Have a great time in your lovely homely little Kelly's van. Stay safe irelands is a lovely place to go .God bless
So cozy
Absolutely love it man! So well done and love the fruit And veg!
Very beautiful!
Fabulous ,love it ❤
I've just put down that very same lino in my bathroom - very nice 💯✔👍
Insulated the van with his dog 😂👍
You had me at Knitting Skills 🧶
Beautiful 🌻🤗
I love your van and the idea of tiles on the floor and the colours! Basically everything!
Well done Nuno Portugal Best Regards

Brilliant! Very creative and inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

This gave me goose bumps! Lovely video, music & van conversion 💕
Super cool, clever, and creative van build !! Rosie is so adorable!!! Happy travels !!! 😎 Enjoy !
Beautiful. Well done that man. So chilled.
Such a cute van. Thank you for showing the construction
The type of van and makeover I've been looking for as my budget is limited. Thank you
What a fab conversion - I love it!

Dog? I thought it was a mop! 😂
Have to be honest i wasn't sure at first but by the time you had finished it was starting to see its appeal, cracking little van with lots of charm and not bland at all. Love the colours and the knitty pieces, well done 👏
Great work Lewis. You’ve made a good looking and unique little camper there. Love it 👍
Just bought my 2006 Berlingo today in Spain. Your van conversión is inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful 😊
Well done boyo, nice we job, enjoy your safaris. Proves you dont need a big fancy van.
Such a cool little van, well done! Hoping to achieve something similar with my own one.
This is great, well done, so lovely!
Very creative colours. Well done. Awesome travels ahead.
This is such a beautiful conversion, so different to my berlingo but in the best way! I love your knitting and wood and of course your beautiful doggo wow
Très beau ❤
Beautiful rustic work.
Love it 😍 It’s like a little gypsy wagon inside a van...
When I tell you it felt good in my soul to watch your van tour. Trust me the creators hands guided it. Love and peace be on to your lives. 💯❤️🤲🏽
Beautiful little van, well done mate 👍🏻
Hi job well done. Enjoy your van. Great video take care
Wow, no one has or knows a Puli. I had 2, black with cords like yours, I showed to get his.championship. My female was white and the best companion dog I have ever had. Your Rosie is beautiful. Good luck with van life.
Thats looks pretty sick!
Looks really good fella. 👍
such beautiful decor just bought a Citreon Berlingo already done up !! but needs the bed extending a little so working on that !! I love all the wood you have used its like a gypsy caravan i love it
Its looking good man. Great job 👍
As some have said I was a little unsure when you first started but I have to say even tho it's not to my taste it is absolutely beautiful and full of charm...Great job...I'm just starting mine...Stripped,cleaned and insulated so far and if mine turns out to look half as cosy as yours I'll be well pleased...👍
Damn sure, this is The Magical Mystery tour Van, You rock and at last a tasty bit of veg'heaven on wheels, doghishly magnificent, Merci Glasgow
beautiful, i want one :)
I'm looking at doing something similar but feeling quite nervous about finding a decent van and converting (zero experience of either) - this was really encouraging to watch!

Dont be at all. Im 46 and just boight a fiat doblo. Ive no experience at all and on a really tight budget. I have a shit saw 1 size screw and a drill that runs out of charge quickly. I bought s £5 ebay futon and cheap plywood. The insulation cost the most. Once you get started, as a single female, you will be amazed the amout of people thst take interest and help out. Its bought be pride, freedom, grwat community tgat are also ensuring i and eating lots of home made soup, lol. It costs too much to cock up, spend time looking, planing, thinking, changing. Spend hours just inside and judging. Do it x

Hello Sara, like Victoria said just go for it! A bit of a tip for you if you don't know anyone who is able to check out the potential van, the AA do an inspection (I think it costs around £125 but that was a few years ago) and they will send a mechanic to check it over and tell you anything which needs doing. Any potential seller if confident should always be prepared to let you have someone check the vehicle over thoroughly if they have nothing to hide. I know the cost is a pain but if you're spending a considerable amount of money on the van then that additional expense could end up being offset in the future if you get something decent and reliable. I recently bought a Fiat Doblo and am living in it full time (it was already converted though). I'm lucky in that I'm an IMI mechanic so could check it over myself. At least for me, there was no introduction or trying it out; I just had to grab the bull by the horns and to some degree hope that it would work out. Still early days but so far am enjoying spending nights around Exmoor and Devon. I go home every few days for a shower etc.

I love this.. I'm keen to down size from my bongo to a berlingo asap xxx
European roadtrip here we go
You’ve made it look so easy! Any advice for getting the planks of wood to stick (especially to the roof 😂) ?
The most creative and cozy van I’ve ever seen. Really inspiring. And I’m sorry for asking, bit what is the second song called?
This is just what I was thinking of doing - even down to the copper water dispenser on the counter! Where can I find a man like you?! Awesome video, thanks or sharing.
Nice video. Hope you do follow ups so we can see where you go with your van.
Aw I love this great job! I used to live round the corner from there and I am just starting to convert a Kangoo up in the highlands, so I'm a little jealous of you doing in shorts and tshirt hehe. Happy travels to you and Rosie!

It looks beautiful! And cosy. Very creative and industrious. Is the beg a single or double?
Tell you the truth it looks more cosy than those 100 thousand dollars 4x4 mercedes things, especially when it's raining hard
I knew it was Glasgow before you even spoke.. Red tenements! PS Fabulous decor.
Hey! Lovely job you’ve done there! Is that a regular Berlingo or the longer version? Anybody?
I really like the set up of your van! I’m converting mine very soon and looking for inspiration. I think I found it! Quick question though: does the bed slide to be slightly wider?
Very cozy. How can Rosie see with her long hair?
Very nice work ! What is the second song used in your video ? I know it's Lisa Hannigan but I can't find it !
you and Rosie are fab! loved your video and your style - can I ask you some questions? The copper like container - was it for your water how or where did you get it? and yes how did you fix things like the wood - and do you use the stove inside?
love it all, what’s your thoughts today on using a belingo as a camper ??
Great build buddy. I'm looking into vans at the moment. Exploring all options. Whats the full length of the bed? I assume it will be pretty much the same as all of the other small vans being about 180cm full stretch?
I'm so pleased I found this vid! I've been thinking about van life for so long I used to have a transit semi hight top I was considering converting but there were too many issues with seals, doors and the height. I currently have a Berlingo car model and I didn't think it was doable! Amazing! Do you think a conversion would be different besides taking the seats & back plastic out? Thank you for sharing! Happy van life!

You can get ready made boot jump pods which fit in the Berlingo. We’ve just bought one! Or you can make your own - which is beyond my skill base! I’ve included a link on one, but there are literally dozens out there! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWp8tdKGaJO2c9I.html

You can pay up to £2.5k for an Amdro one! Or far less. We’ve used a company called MCS and it cost £810 with cushions. We would recommend them.
Can I ask do you have to add to insurance to say you use it sleep in, great video 😊
Esto estaba buscando, aqui vende mucho la Partner y qro una para salir a recorrer la vida. Saludos desde Chile.
Looks amazing, just wondering is it big enough to lie down in and how tall are you
Where did you get your vinyl? I'm close to dennistoun and converting my Berlingo too
How do you lock the back doors in the van when your inside I have the same van
Hey did you take a vid of you making the bed?
Hi there, Probably been asked before but is this a short wheel base?
Very cozy design! Lovely video about creating beauty out of simple things... Do sweet Rosie a favour and cut a few strands of hair around her eyes so she can enjoy the sight of your adventures even more :-)
What mileage was the van when ya bought it mate?
Is this a Berlingo SWB or LWB? I'm trying to decide which to get as just for me and 2 rescue pups
No. You need to do proper van tour, I wanna see details :)
Bonjour super joli le lit vous avez comment merci
you need windows for this one now
