Converting your own van?
Where do you even start?
Hours on YouTube and forums, and mistakes you only find out about later. Here’s how we help you with every step of your build.
Watch the video above to learn how we help you with every step of your build.
YouTube. Groups. Forums.
So you end up on YouTube, in Facebook groups, on forums, asking:
- How do I board it?
- Where do the wires go?
- Where’s the best place to buy this?
A first conversion, done yourself
400 hours
10 hours a week = 40 weeks
With us, you can significantly reduce that.
And mistakes cost you. One customer came to us after carpeting the whole van, then finding out the wiring had to go in first. It all had to come back out.
That’s time you could be with your family, or working.
A van like this, without the hundred grand, or the headache
Here’s how we help you with every step of your build, what it really costs done right, and how you get a 3D layout of your plan.

Why we don’t sell flat‑pack
Flat-packA pile of pieces and a set of instructions
ThenYou’re left scratching your head over the rest of your van
You could order flat-pack. But you’d be left with a pile of pieces and a set of instructions, and no support for the rest of your build.
You could make your own. You could also cut your own hair, but it probably won’t come out as good as the barber’s.
By the time you’ve added up the boards, the tools and the hours, it makes sense to leave the furniture to the professionals.

How ours is made
Ours is CNC cut from 15 mm lightweight ply, edged to match, and built here in our workshop, with the scribes pre-cut for your van, so it comes ready to fit.
And we use hidden fixings, so if a panel’s ever damaged, it can be changed.

Stuck with something? Send us a video, and we’ll send you one right back.
What Lee says in the video
So you put a 50 mm batten from this strut to this strut, 50 mm deep. I do a 25 mm and 25 mm, and then the LED. If you see, the LED would have left the LED loose, so you screw up to the batten, drop your wire through, then connect your LED and stick your LED up, if that makes sense. So if you’re stuck with anything else, just do me a little video back: “What about this bit, Lee?” and I’ll go over it the best I can.

What a conversion really costs
A new van that looks as good as this is typically over a hundred grand. Done right, a conversion is roughly £25k on top of your van.
Putting it in perspective
- A new van
- Over £100k
- Our way
- Roughly £25k+ your van
Budget tight? Just have the kitchen from us, and we’ll supply matching boards for the rest.
Who this is for
- You’ve got a big van, or you’re buying one
- You’re doing the build yourself
- You want it to look right, first time
Not looking for a whole build? You can still buy a single piece online.
Before you decide
Not ready yet?
There’s no pressure. We build your furniture while you get the van ready, and if you’re not ready for it, we hold it until you are.
Worried it won’t turn out how you want?
You see it in 3D before anything’s cut, and it’s made for your van.

Your questions
What happens after I order?
You get your one-to-one support line with Lee on WhatsApp, with your self-build guide. Ask any questions about your build there. Want help in person? Come in for a free measure up, and we’ll talk you through your whole build.
How much does a whole conversion cost?
Done right, roughly £25k on top of your van, a bit more or a bit less depending on what you’re doing. Design your furniture to see its price.
Can I talk to you before I order?
Yes. Do us a little design first, so we can both see what you want and what it costs. Then send it to us on WhatsApp, or book yourself straight in for a free measure up.
I’m not handy. Can I still do this?
Lee has built vans with people who’d never used a jigsaw. You do the easy bits with our help, and we do the hard part: the furniture.
What if I’m not ready when it’s built?
You’re not on a clock. If you’re running ahead, we move things forward. If you’re behind, we wait until you’re ready.
Do I have to buy a full kit?
You don’t have to order a full kit. Buy as little or as much as you like. Just a top locker or a full kit, completely up to you.
How long does it take to make?
About 2 to 3 weeks on small orders and 4 to 5 weeks on big ones.
How do I get it?
You collect it from us in Wythall, Birmingham. Fit it yourself, or we fit it for you.

Richard’s Crafter, on his YouTube channel
Richard films his van life on YouTube. His £900 budget build has had over 2 million views. Then he came to us for his furniture.
“£7500 DIY Camper Van Tour 100%Gasless Campervan”, his finished van
“It fit absolutely perfect. All the advice that Lee at Vans Adventures gave me ... all paid off.”
“I built the van, I didn’t build this furniture. I have not got the craftsmanship skills or the equipment to even come up with anything as good as this.”
“This has just blown me away ... I have a camper van that actually looks like a camper van now.”
Richard at our workshop
“Vans Adventures are a company that produce, manufacture and put together all of this beautiful furniture for camper vans.”
“He was really enthusiastic about his work.”
“Built with the angle at the back to make the front nice and flat.”
“Made with the curvature of the van already pre-built.”
“Just a quick lift into place.”
“Look at this bed box, absolutely perfect.”
