VAN BUILD - COST BREAKDOWN

Описание: 🚐 - Ep. 6| This our first time doing a whole camper van build out.

In this episode of the van build, I finally wrap up the insulation stage and start locking in the structure. I finish installing the adhesive wall insulation, fill in the ceiling ribs with insulation, and then move on to completing the wall framing using reclaimed wood.

This build hasn’t been about perfection, it’s been about adapting, reusing materials, and making things work inside a curved metal box. Along the way, I also break down the real costs so far, sharing a price and budget update on what’s currently been done in the van.

If you’re building on a budget, working with reclaimed materials, or just curious what a van build actually costs in the early stages, this one’s for you.

Thanks for following along on the build. More progress coming soon.

Last year, we lived in my van full-time while traveling across the U.S.—before it was even built out. At the time, all I had was a simple bunk-style bed propped up by four loose 2x4s and a single sheet of 1" plywood for a mattress base. I wish- we started YouTube back then! But, we'll be sharing clips from that time throughout my van build instead. 🙂

What began as bare-bones van camping slowly evolved into a full camper van build—and ultimately, my dream tiny home on wheels. This DIY camper van conversion will eventually be home to all four of us (my husband, me, and 2 fur babies).
I've never built a camper van before, so everything you see is real, unfiltered, and learned through trial and error. Join me for van life, budget-friendly DIY projects, and the highs and lows of building a camper van from scratch.
