We took our self build micro camper (also known as a boot jump camper conversion) for a test trip to the Peak District in England! It's a Ford Grand Tourneo Connect Titanium, and is basically a large car or MPV, also called a minivan in some countries.
I'm Vinny, Man On The Outside, and I love getting outdoors, and adventures such as mountaineering, wild camping, and exploring unknown places.

In this video we're testing out the boot jump and self build micro camper on a proper stopover in a great spot we found in the Peak District. This spot has amazing views and was perfect for a stop over to test how our boot jump camper conversion would work.
I made the boot jump plans myself and built the boot jump camper conversion myself over a couple of weekends during lockdown and am using it as a stealth camping van / stealth camping minivan.
I removed the rear 2 seats so the car became a 5 seater, and I'm able to to transport the boot jump camper conversion kit around while still retaining 5 seats all the time.
This DIY micro camper build is basically a homemade boot jump conversion kit, and I based it on the Amdro boot jump, which costs around £2500 - I built this for a fraction of the price using materials from the local DIY/hardware store and a few basic DIY techniques I learned from watching RU-vid.
Below you can find the things we use on our stealth camping van trips which make life easier for us!
