The van conversion diaries - Building a camper
Fiat Ducato Van conversion by an Architect and Electrical Project Manager.

Join us as we transform our 2021 Fiat Ducato into a custom-built campervan! With backgrounds in Architecture and Electrical Engineering, we’re combining professional skills with a passion for adventure to create a van that’s both beautifully designed and highly functional.
Expect top-notch detailing, clean aesthetics, and a powerful, extensive electrical setup perfect for an off-grid life on the road. We’ll take you along, from this step by step van conversion to our road trip adventures.

In this first episode of our van conversion we start cleaning the van, build the floor, add anti-drumming plates, insulate, cut the first window holes — and fix our first problem: a leaky window!

Next to our jobs, we’re passionate about photo- and videography and adventure travel. You can find all of our world wide travel stories on our website and travel documentaries on this channel. We focus on adventure, experiences, cultures and capturing all of those memories on the road with our trusted camera’s.
