But after travelling thousands of miles and actually living with the van, we realised there were a few things we got completely wrong. In this video I’m sharing the 5 biggest mistakes we made on our campervan build, including decisions around side pods, battery capacity, storage space, weight, and fridge size. If you're planning your own DIY campervan conversion, these lessons could save you time, money, and a lot of frustration. Building a van is all about trade-offs, and some of the choices that seemed like great ideas during the build turned out to be things we would definitely change if we built another van. Hopefully these insights help you design a better self-build campervan and avoid some of the mistakes we made. 🔧 Quality Products We Use in Our Self-Build Camper Van These are the tried-and-tested products that make our 4x4 VW Crafter and Ford Transit stealth camper builds functional, comfortable, and adventure-ready. - VANDERMOON MOONBOXES AND MOON ORGANISERS | We love all our VANDERMOON gear, from the moon boxes to the moon organisers our van would not be as functional and light weight without them.
