Brought this van for work back in November 2017, I used the van for work for about 2 months then I decided I would convert it into a camper van.

So the van came off the road for about 10 months and the work began slowly and stage by stage.

So how does one go about doing a conversion well first design and draw a layout on paper.

First job vapour barrier then your electrics, then your insulation, then designing your layout.

Because this van is only a short wheelbase and a high roof we were limited to our design of the van conversion.

So as you can see from my photographs this is the design we came up with but we did alter it a few time round we had a bed that pulled out now we have a fixed bed with storage under the bed and a 240v fridge that runs off solar and a 2000 watt inverter.

Fitted to the van are two solar panels 200-watts also a split charge and two leisure batteries.

Also fitted to the van is a 240 hook, and a victron smart controller.

Also fitted to the roof is a roof rack and yes we have ladders on the back doors just to give us access to the roof rack and also to clean the solar panels.

We also did some alterations to the seating arrangement in the front of the cab by removing the double seat and replacing it with a captain seat, this gives us more room in the van also fitted was a swivel table.

So over time we have added things as we've gone along with the van and yes a few alterations overtime has been done to the van as well.

I am still adding things to the van now, and we still keep doing alterations as we live with the van you will find this out when you start going away in the van.

So I've just had a few photographs of the van and the alterations I've done overtime to this van...

Spent Sunday working on the van flitted this big bad boy a Krieger 2000 watt inverter and will be connected to two leisure batteries.

On the roof of the van there are two solar panels 200-watt and a split charge also to the van.

I will also be removing the old Chinese solar controller and replacing it with a Victron MPPT 75/15 smart solar controller.

Just waiting for the smart controller to arrive so it can be fitted...
