Building your own camper van

More and more people are building their own camper vans. With the reduced costs of second hand vehicles, especially panel vans, and the increased availability of the parts required, it has never been easier.

Building your own camper van can be a hugely rewarding project. It can also be a lot cheaper than buying a camper van. If you build your own camper van you can also have a vehicle that exactly meets your needs, especially useful if you are using your vehicles for sports, such as motorcross or surfing.

If you are a competent DIY enthusiast, then you should have few problems building you own camper van. You can expect to build a good looking vehicle. See the list of self built camper vans.

You can even aim for a professional looking conversion. If you have limited DIY skills, then you should not be put off. Very little is required to make a livable vehicle. Building a basic camper van just takes a little money and time. See the list of self built camper vans for ideas and inspiration.
