Although the focus of this site is on motorhome travel and all types of motorhome conversions, DIY campervan conversions are a topic close to my heart, as I have a self-converted Ford Transit myself. Indeed, the most popular pages on this site by far are those relating to motorhome and campervan conversions.

Given this, I have decided to publish a guide (with pictures) to converting a van into a campervan. This is loosely based on a combination of my previous conversions and other peoples.

There are also a number of other good resources covering DIY conversion of vans and buses – so I thought I’d highlight a few of this, both on and offline. Naturally this information will have a UK/European bias, as we’re based in the UK.
