DIY Van Conversion Guide
Plan your conversion in a safe sequence, define how you will use the van, and design each system around realistic power, water, storage, climate, and maintenance needs.
Start with the layout
Map sleeping, seating, cooking, storage, ventilation, and access before permanently installing walls, cabinets, plumbing, or electrical equipment.
Size the electrical system
Estimate daily energy use before choosing batteries, solar, charging sources, wiring, protection devices, and inverter capacity.
Plan water and climate systems
Account for tank placement, freezing temperatures, drainage, ventilation, heating, cooling, and service access.
