Van Tour! Citroën Berlingo Micro Camper Conversion | Full time van life

It’s time I shared my van build and layout with you all, so grab a drink and get comfy, it’s a long one!

When planning this build and dreaming of an escape to the life I was living at the time I found myself watching a lot of YouTube videos of car and van conversions, and was so inspired by the way of life and how people live in such small vehicles full time.

I wanted to share my build and how I fit everything I need in, so it inspires others and hopefully helps if you’re planning a build or working out how to fit things into really small spaces!

I love answering questions about Silva and how I live in a micro camper van, so do drop a comment below.

So nice to see someone living simply. Too many van-life videos just seem over the top - by trying to be too luxurious. This video is great for people like me who want to enjoy the outdoors and not obsess with making things look perfect.

I have a berlingo WAV that I use for an elderly relative, and I was thinking of doing a basic conversion for some camping in Ireland. Youve given me huge food for thought though Im 6ft so would need a different bed arrangement. But respect to you..great video.

Fantastic, what a way to travel, where you want when you want and no hotels, these Mpv, s are so practical.

That was amazing thanks for making this video! I love that power bank you got! May look at getting one!

[daseteam]

Thanks for this. I will now be playing catch-up. I have more or less decided on a Berlingo, so this was a great help.

I just want to say "hello from Poland". I'm looking for inspirations to build my own tiny campervan. Greetings, Mike from Poland.

amazing, never imagined you could fit so much, but your set up is fantastic

Best use of a micro camper I have ever seen….done all my tours on a motorcycle and just starting van touring…
I wonder what you are doing now? Best wishes Dave

[ziomalZparafii]

Lots of amazing ideas. That last part, two buttons, was just a great ending. I'm stealing it ;-)

[starseed]

Very inspiring, just bought a second hand SUV intending to turn it into a micro camper. No modification, just using the space I have in the best possible way. Lots of good tips here. Thank you and all the best!❣️

Just blown my mind watching this. ❤️✌️👊

I have a Doblo, which is a similar size to your Berlingo, and I'm amazed at how much you have managed to fit into it! I am very disorganised so I could never live with that much stuff (after a couple of days it'd look like I was on my way to the dump or a car boot sale!) but, luckily, I'm only fitting mine out for day trips or maybe the odd overnight stay and to make it more comfortable for my dog. I'm going to put in a floor to level it out with flip up panels to access storage where the rear footwells were and then, at the back, I am fitting a dog ramp that will slide out from under the floor (in theory!) The one item of cabinetry will be a pre-made TV cabinet where I can store a portable loo, tea-making stuff, plate and cutlery, cool box and a mini washing up bowl.

I love your tap, could you tell me the name/brand, please?

A very neat presentation of a small home. I have the same freedom ahead of me and I'm building a Peugeot Partner van. Diesel 1.5l. You've got a lot of stuff on board. Question: Does the cable come directly from the solar panel to the 400W power source, without an intermediate box? The journey continues, my friend. Greetings from Helsinki, Finland ⛄ 🇫🇮

This is inspirational, I just found your channel... I have just bought an....okder berlingo. To spend more time showing my 4yo son more of the world. I'm a single parent and live in Surrey, England... I have bought plywood and things but haven't got everything else like insulation yet. We are going away for 2 nights over Easter with our Arpenaz Base M tent. And we love ikea!

…. and how cool are you! If I were younger I might remember where I’d put all these amazing belongings (and that I had them at all!) but sadly these days I need to leave things out in full sight, if I’m ever to lay my hands on them when needed 😂 . Am deeply enjoying your journey through your beautiful videos. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself - I wish you peace, many good things and the strength to deal with the tough moments. x

Really good idea to insulate the water jug and your vegetables 👍🥰🥰

[NickMeredith]

Thank-you. So many great ideas in there. I'm at the planning phase at the moment, not planning to live full time in mine, but looking to have something I can drive regularly and use instead of hotels &b&bs. Great inspiration.

It's official, you live in a TARDIS! lol. Brilliantly organised, love it. What a fab home.

I love your camper! I've just recently bought a Fiat Doblo which had been converted to a camper and love how this is compact enough to go anywhere a car can but you've always got your little home with you whenever you need it. I'm living in it full time now, was daunting before making the decision but every single day as I get more settled in I am enjoying the experience. Subscribed to your channel and will make sure to watch your other videos and keep an eye out for any new update videos. Take care, Dan (from Devon)
