Anyone who loves outdoor life and sports dreams of having a small  camper, or a van transformed in a camper, for the freedom that traveling with such a vehicle gives. In this article, I will tell you about my experience in converting a Ford Transit Custom into a kind of camper.

 

Converting a van into a camper (Ford Transit Custom)

 

Let me start by saying that camperizing a van is not a walk in the park. It is not an impossible job, even if it requires a certain amount of manual skill, but it requires many hours of work, and a lot of mental energy in the planning. You will find yourself thinking about how to solve a problem, perhaps when waking up at night (and, personally, some of the best ideas have come to mind at night). Obviously, then, once the work is done, you could be very satisfied with what you have done, in addition to finally being able to enjoy your van for wonderful adventures.

In this article, I will tell you about my experience on the various topics related to camperization, stating that, having no previous experience, I searched online, watched many videos on YouTube, asked several friends who had already had experience, and I also made some mistakes, obviously. I must also say that what was proposed online and on YouTube was not always convincing for me, and in some cases I made different choices. Finally, it must be said that wanting to cram sports equipment into the cargo area of ​​my Transit, and wanting to maintain reasonably large spaces (so as not to obtain a claustrophobic result), I did not carry out a massive camperization (for example, I never thought of beading the interior). Having said this, I will proceed in order to deal with the various topics, and to tell you what I did.

Topics covered: Insulation, floor construction, the windwos installationthe windwos installation, making the bed, electrical system, air heating, plumbing system, the kitchen cabinet.

In the coming months, I will be doing some more small van remodeling work.

I will update the article to explain any additional solutions and ideas I find. Stay tuned and come back to consult this valuable guide.
