My DIY camper – from rusty van to cosy home in 5 months
The van conversion is finally complete. See more pictures of the complete camper conversion here I love the idea of living in a van But I don’t really find the look and feel of most motorhomes or campers very appealing (I mean home like). Months of daydreaming allowed me to get a pretty clear image […]
All the details of the van conversion
OK not ALL the details. I’m gonna liken this post to that kitchen draw where you just throw all those batteries, screws and paperclips in. Maybe you can get some ideas… Bookshelf You cant have a book shelf in a van, they will all fall off. Whoever said that was right, but it didn’t […]

Here’s an overview of this very cheap GPS tracker (seen on Ebay and Amazon)… This post goes over how I fitted this cheap GPS tracker, I bought on Amazon, to my campervan. For less than £30 I was surprised by not only the build quality of this GPS unit but also pretty stunned by the […]
