From Construction Van to DIY Conversion Camper With everything he needs! | Vanlife Tour.
In today's Van tour and vanlife documentary we showcase Dude and his awesome 2002 Chevy Express van that when he bought it was a beat up contractors van used for a work vehicle. Dude got a good price for the van and wanted to do the work himself that was necessary to turn it into his home on wheels. Understanding the value of having his van in good working order he invested some money and time into fixing up the mechanics before working on the inside. Inside the van he started with the insulation using between 1 and 2 inches of rigid foam board style insulation as well as rockwool in areas. Wood materials like plywood being expensive during the supply shortage caused Dude to act creatively when it came to his build and he re used materials from shelving units that he was able to find or get cheaply. He also bargain hunted when with other things in his van like using 6 volt batteries in series to make a 12 volt system to power his lights and dorm fridge, as well as opting for a cheaper diesel heater off ebay instead of going with a name brand like espar vs webasto. Overall his build is very interesting and what Dude says in the interview portion of this video is interesting to about one of his challenges during the build was how his A.D.H.D. played out and made it difficult for him to stay on task and finish the project he was on before moving to the next. Dude is well on his way to being a long term van dweller and seems happy in his lifestyle of being able to use rent savings to travel North America.
