WE'RE NOT EXPERTS
We're Arthur & Saskia, two travel-loving Dutchies who swapped airports for asphalt. We turned a basic Peugeot Boxer into our home on wheels. It took the better part of a year, plenty of mistakes, and one shouting match over a shower drain.
We figured: if we could get through this, anyone can. So we wrote down everything we wish someone had handed us on day one and packaged for our fellow first time builders.
No filters. No perfect lighting. Just you, your van, and a lot of freedom.
You don't need another Pinterest-perfect van build. You need someone who'll tell you exactly where they messed up, and how to skip it.
THE COMPLETE TOOLKIT
7 things, one purchase.
The 45+ page e-book. 10 chapters, 43 Build Tips, every mistake we made and how to skip it.
Your whole build in one place: track your to-dos, shopping and budget, then upload your materials and let the AI estimate every item's weight so you know exactly where you stand vs. your van's payload limit.
Know exactly what to look for during viewings, before you hand over €15k.
Sleep soundly on the road. Simple tips at every budget.
Be equipped from day one. No mid-build emergency trips to the hardware store.
