Preparing my VAN for a CONVERSION | Van conversion 101 | EP. 4

The 4th video in our step-by-step video series detailing how to convert a van from start to finish.

We are finally getting started on some of the more practical bits in this build series! We still don't have a final layout design nailed down, but there are a load of preparation steps which can be completed beforehand. This basically means stripping the van back to an empty shell - removing all the old interior/exterior structures, making sure the van is clean and watertight, dealing with any surface rust etc.

Next up, we're going to be showing you how we added a few off-roady vanlife accessories, including a roof rack, ladder & spare wheel holder, and a snazzy new colour!

SPONSORSHIP

This video is sponsored by Sterling Insurance. Sterling offer great policies for a wide range of vehicles including motorhomes and converted vans. As young drivers we found it pretty hard to find anyone to insure us, but Sterling were amazing, offering us a quote quickly and explaining the whole process. We've now been with them for over 2 years (originally NOT as part of sponsorship) and have been extremely happy with their service.

Some of the reasons why we love them include:
Provide year-long cover in Europe
Cover the vehicle while it's being converted
Easy quotes even as young drivers with 'unconventional' jobs
Breakdown cover (in Europe too)
