Stealth Camper Van build (start to finish)

  • In this camper van full build video, I show you every step I took to convert my Fiat Ducato into a luxury camper van.
    As for the best camper van insurance, Howden's will treat you well! (they used to be called A-Plan). This is the phone number that will take you directly to the camper van branch:
    01635 879915
    (They've agreed to a 10% discount if you mention my channel!)
    I wanted a camper van with a modern luxury feel, and I think I've achieved just that! After coming from a micro camper, a fixed bed was a must for me. And something else that was essential, was to have everything run from battery (rather than using gas), and to be able to remain off-grid with my set up.
    You can now Buy Me A Brain Cell (a fun way to support the channel): www.buymeabraincell.com
    Here's a list of some of the items that I used:

    Best build video I have seen. No BS and spending 10 mins on a sink and tap like many - Yes different audiences perhaps but for me this is the one I enjoyed the most. My opinion only. Fast paced but still retained vital info. Well done on this.

    Adz the attention to detail on your van is second to none even in places that will never see the light of day.
    You should give yourself a huge pat on the back as you have done an amazing job.
    I like the whole electical system the best as the planning and build quality must have taken hours, also i like how you have loads of wire ready should you need to add more kit in the future.

    Beautiful job. You should be proud mate. On a separate note, I’m doing some updates on my T5 at the moment and was talking to my local mechanic about larger wheels (love Rogue Alloys, nice lads too) and he warned me that all the off road Tyres that people using, are knackering gearboxes. Now obviously you need them for the arctic circle bit when you get back maybe change them to something more road focused ? Have you watched True Blue Travellers ? They’re ready where you’re headed, in their van. Full of really useful tips for dealing with freezing temperatures. Best of luck for the trip, 👍🏻
