How to Convert a Van into an Off-Grid Camper with NO EXPERIENCE

Before we got started with van life, Lou and I loved to watch van conversion videos that chronicled the entire van build in one video. And ever since we finished our van Ody last year, we've been wanting to make a video that shows the entire 6-month process of turning our 38-year-old Mercedes 307d (the old-school sprinter) into our dream tiny home on wheels. We've been living in the van for over a year now and feel so proud of all the hard work that got us here and are definitely reaping the van life rewards of those hundreds of hours of labor. Doing a van conversion with no experience is definitely a huge undertaking, but if you can keep a positive mindset it can be an incredibly transformative experience. We learned so much about construction, plumbing, and electrical and honestly a lot of that knowledge came from watching Youtube videos, so we hope that this video can give back to the ecosystem that served us so well.

Lou and I always knew that we wanted to do a fully off-grid conversion, so we opted for a huge 110-liter water tank, three solar panels, and a large battery. I know the specifics are very important for anyone hoping to build their own van, so I made a blog post that goes into more detail about our build - https://www.wildweroam.com/blog/our-van-conversion

We hope that this video inspires you whether you want to do your own van conversion, jump right into van life with a ready-made van, or are eager to start a totally different kind of project. I'm so grateful we got to build Ody in such a unique environment. Life with Alfie and the donkeys is something I will cherish forever and for those of you who have been around for a while, I hope this video was a wonderful way to reminisce about those months in Spain.

Lots of love,
Dana (& Lou )
