You'll see how I set about insulating and carpeting the van, laid the vinyl wood effect van floor, built furniture so I could have plenty of van storage and added a number of fun extras and accessories to make my van super practical! This was my first ever van build and as a novice there were many hurdles, but this beginner stealth van conversion has come together much better than I could have hoped for, and I'm really happy with the end result.

I built my van out in a little over a year, whilst working full time, but I was helped with some time off work during the pandemic. I tried to it as cheap as possible, whilst still creating a high standard minimalist van conversion from a do-it-yourself build.

DISCLAIMER: In this video, I am in no way stating that this is the proper way to undertake the conversion of a van, however after research and experience using the van, I believe this to be the way that is best suited to my van and the way I intend to use it.
