Van build mistakes – What we’d change in our van conversion for fulltime vanlife



It’s been around 18 months since we shot our initial van tour and nearly 2 years of living in the van full-time. Since we last posted we’ve taken the van across the south east of Europe to Türkiye, back to the UK and down to Portugal. We’ve experienced everything from snow to blistering heat, beachside park ups to valleys and mountains. This video is a compilation of our thoughts on what we would change, or some updates to what we have changed in our tiny home on wheels.
