Building a Campervan on a Budget - From Van to Adventure

Transforming a VW Transporter on a Budget into a Campervan.
Budget Campervan Conversion: Only £800
In this video, I met with Tony from Clarified Detailing and we discussed how he has transformed his VW Transporter, which he bought cheap, into a campervan. His basic build was less than £800 and is the basics of what you need for starting your campervan outdoor lifestyle.

Whether you have a T5, VW T5.1, T6, T6.1 or even an older T2, T2.5, T4, the VW Vanlife scene is amazing, with so much help and assistance available for whatever project you wish to attempt. Panel van, Kombi, Converted Camper or VW California Beach or Ocean, enjoy the freedom van life brings.

The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along.

I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.

I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which is removable, TV's on headrests.

Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Vanlife is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
There are many great camper adventures to come

Thanks must go to the following:

Amazon Audible is great for listening to books on longer journeys, I have used it for years.

All you need. Keep it simple. Stayed in a 72 dormobile many nights slept 4, No electric no heater no problem ! Manual foot pump for water and brilliant pop top. For me I'd do simple conversion simple with insulation and power bank with electric hook up but with no hardwired DC electrics. Maybe sink and cooker pod but that's all, no coffeemaker or air fryer etc just space. Great review

Great video. I believe that when money is tight and you have a tight budget, that's when you can be the most creative. Regarding getting the bed tested or seats tested, I've installed Ford torneo seats in mine (I got creative on a tight budget 😁). Where do you go to get them tested? I asked a local garage, and they said, "For the mot, just take them out if you want." But regards insurance and selling the van on, how do you go about it? Thanks, and keep up the good work.
