Converting a van? Where do you even start?

Making a blank empty van into your warm cosy home can be daunting project if you’ve never done it before. I mean, where do you even start? What do you need? How much will it cost? And how can you be a plumber, electrician and joiner all at once when you know nothing about that stuff?

Anyone can convert a van with the right guidance and information

If you want to know exactly how I transformed this van (shown in the pictures above) with zero woodwork or van conversion experience then this book is for you. I’ll take you through the whole process in simple, clear and detailed steps

This ebook takes you From VAN to HOME

This book shows you – from start to finish – exactly how I transformed this van (see above), with zero woodwork or van conversion experience, into my highly functional cosy off-grid home – the place I’ve lived and travelled in since 2014.

“You’ve explained the electrical system/build so well I feel confident in doing it myself (currently part way through mine) something I never would have otherwise attempted” – Mike Rhodes

  • Set yourself up for van success with the proper preparation before you start – tools, time, cost, skills and other resources
  • Choose the right van from the very start. This is what the whole project relies on and getting it wrong can cost you a lot – in money, stress and frustration. Don’t make the same mistakes I did
  • Protect your van investment to ensure it lasts for years to come
  • Have all the functionality and comfort of a home. Water, gas and electrical system explained with full step by step examples and illustrations
  • Be free to roam anywhere by installing solar panels so you’ll always be able to generate your own power to run everything in the living space: fridge, lights, pump, sound system and even your computer
  • No one left out. This book assumes you’re an absolute beginner, just like I was
  • Get on the road as quickly as possible by shortcutting my many hours of research, mistakes and lessons
  • Master the electrical system once and for all by going back to basics and slowly building it up with full detailed explanations of the whole electrical system – including clear diagrams
  • Many Ideas, tips and tricks you can use immediately in your van conversion
  • Bonus chapter on how to stay productive and on track. Plus a project plan chart to download to help you get your van conversion project completed efficiently, as fast as possible.

As featured all around the world

My van conversion (what this book is based on) has been featured all over the world, from national press in England, major news websites in the Far East and television in North America. Now I’m ready to share every detail of how I did it, so you can do this for yourself. It’s all right here, as an instant download, in this one book

The best book, thanks so much

I bought your book a while ago and it is the best DIY book I’ve ever read. It is so detailed and it always has me inspired. I live in New York City, and I’m saving up some money for this awesome project, to travel long and far. Thank you for your book, it is truly amazing :-)”

The best, most helpful book on the subject by miles

Hey, Just wanted to say I bought your book, built a van, spent a summer travelling around Europe in it, lived in it for a year in the UK (over winter!) and am now recommending your book to a friend who is planning to do the same. The best, most helpful book on the subject by miles. Thanks Mike!”

Why make a van into your home?

Making a van into my home was the best thing I’ve ever done. It gave me a live I never thought was even possible – look at my blog from the past few years. Just imagine…

Travelling in a diy van conversion – watching the northern lights
  • A home you actually own and instead of tying you down with bills and debt it lets you live life in a whole new way, freeing you up to spend time on the things that matter to you
  • More money in your bank every month that would normally go on rent or, if you’re travelling, hotel and hostel costs
  • Being independent of ‘the grid’ and not being tied down with gas and electricity bills
Travelling in a van conversion – driving in the Sahara Desert
  • Have adventures and experiences you’ll treasure for a lifetime
  • Be a digital nomad. This is the time we live in: you can run a business, and have a global impact, from your van, with just a computer and internet connection – and of course some coffee and a nice view
  • The satisfaction of living in something you built – a home to be truely proud of

 Couldn’t have built my van without it. Really thank you so so much for being the inspiration and helping me build my own

Actually looks somewhere I would want to live

So many conversions seem kind of shoddy and yours is the first I found (with great ‘instructions’) that actually looks somewhere I would want to live. Plus it’s great to have guidance from a fellow Brit where measurements are in metric and materials are widely available. So thank YOU for sharing your journey! I’m glad the you’ve been able to continue it by sharing it! Much love
