CHEAP & SIMPLE VAN BUILD - VW T4 campervan conversion for WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TRAVELS

We purchased this VW T4 van after the first lockdown and decided to convert it into a camper van relying pretty much only what I could beg, borrow and buy on Amazon.

I don't think the van well ever be finished, as I'm always wanted to add and change things, but for now, here it is.

I have been busy filming loads of new content recently, so plenty of new wildlife videos to come.

I’m an old dude who has lived overseas for 30 yrs and as such have never really got to know our beautiful country so I bought an old T4 and doing a total resto, but you know what, I respect the basic build you have done and congratulate you.

I really admire those who do a van build on a budget and especially those who recycle/reuse old furniture and materials.

The build is functional but not overly complicated while still looking like a nice place to work and relax. Well done, I like it a lot.

I’ve followed you for years and was surprised to see this pop up in my feed as I bought a white T4 last week that is already converted. Camping on mull will be so much more luxurious now 😁

I bought a T6 nearly 6 years ago to use as an overnight bed for my photography. I figured I could travel to a destination late evening for a sunrise shoot the next morning. Since then we’ve moved house twice, I changed my job, and family issues has left it still as a Kombi ( 3 seats up front, 3 seats in the rear with a huge boot space ). Your van is a perfect example of how simple a conversion can be, it does everything you need it to, and keeps it inexpensive 👏👏👏

Brilliant, came across your post, I have a t4 and love it, we have a rock n roll bed innit and I've been fighting with the idea of selling the bed on as it restricts storage, I love your ideas

Great video Rich. Always satisfying when you don't have to spend a fortune to create something that is so useful. Well done.

Doing things a bit different in terms of cheap and I like that. My Vivaro is on similar lines, but the R&R bed/Smev kitchen swivel double seat route and 8 years on coming up to 200 nights for me, the wife and a dog named Boo. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice van, glad you had the confidence in building it on your own. Absolutely a banger budget camper van. Thanks for sharing

This is genius. All you need is a wood stove 👍 needs a name 🙂

[frederickmcdonald]

Nice one Rich. We had an old campervan, that we used for our photography trips and it was great fun!

[Boiga.]

Looks awesome dude!
I had a VWT4 spent over a year converting it, 2 days before my trip my engine blew up. Sat on the drive or 2 years before I sold it for scrap! haha.
