VANLIFE Eats Festival | First OFF-GRID Camping | Van Update | Fiat Ducato Self-Build Campervan

Over the August Bank Holiday we went to our first ever van life festival in our half completed self-build campervan! The VanLife Eats Big Picnic 2021 was held on Dummer Down Farm, near Basingstoke, and was an amazing weekend of camping, live music, talks, van showcases and meeting new people. We had such a great time and it was lovely to say hello to people we know online and see some stunning vans.

For us, it was a chance to try off-grid camping in our half converted campervan and was great fun. The van has a full bed, electrics, gas and some basic seating so was more than enough for what we needed. Everything worked really well and it was super comfortable. We also picked up some tips on how to finish some of the more tricky bits of the build and it really spurs us on to get it finished and get out and about more!

We included an update on the build (timings below) so you can see where we're at right now. The YouTube videos are a bit behind as I don't have enough hours in the day but we'll get back to those shortly.

Hope you enjoy this video, slightly different and I know we're in no way vloggers but we also want to capture what it means to own a campervan and the whole reason for the blood, sweat and tears in converting it.

Thanks to Vanlife Eats for arranging such a great weekend and hopefully see you at the next one!

WHO ARE WE?

We're Mark and Neil and this is Our Van Plan. We've always wanted a camper van and took the plunge in 2020 by ordering a brand new medium wheelbase (L2H2) Fiat Ducato. We are converting it ourselves into the van of our dreams with little previous experience. We're glad to have you along for the ride!
