@DutchAussieProductions 5 лет назад

@@lacme4 Hi, I don't convert vans anymore. I only converted my own vans in the past. Prices vary, depending on your needs. The first thing is to draw a plan and layout everything on a floor to see how it will fit. The bed placing is the first item to try out. My last van conversion cost me A$ 3000.00 with me doing all the work. I will be making videos on how I did this for RU-vid in the next few months.

Excellent. There is a lot of good planning and forethought here. When I built my live-in van before traveling across the country (U.S.) for a couple of years, it was much more of an improvised experience, and I've suffered a lot by the poor planning. I don't plan on living in the next build for long stretches, but I do plan on much better planning and "fit-for-purpose" considerations. Great vid, great build.

Seriously this is probably the best one I have seen here. It looks well thought out and solid. Most people's campervans look too homemade but this looks like if it was meant to be by the manufacturer.

@ladiandmargaret 5 лет назад

Thanks so much. I didn’t look too much at other build because I’m inspired by my own needs and habits. It’s a different, more designer oriented approach. Design comes from a function and I feel like more people misunderstand and design based on esthetics.

@jorasparents 5 лет назад
