Where to start?

Over the past two years, we’ve purchased two empty vans, ready for a van build. Each of which we managed to transform into our mobile homes.

 

The process of converting a van into a liveable space was both challenging and rewarding, but in the end, it gave us the freedom to live and travel wherever the road takes us.

Each day on the road feels like a new adventure, and having our own self-built home on wheels has allowed us to experience the world in a way we never imagined.

 

Of course, no two van builds are the same. Everyone has different goals, priorities, and budgets, which means that each conversion is a unique reflection of the builder’s vision. Some people focus on comfort and luxury, while others prioritise simplicity and functionality.

For us, it was about balancing both—creating a space that’s practical but still feels like home.

 

We know the process can be overwhelming, especially when you’re just starting out. That’s why we want to share our journey and offer some insights into what we’ve learned along the way.

 

Whether you’re dreaming of your own van life or planning a build, we hope this blog helps you feel more prepared for the adventure that lies ahead.
