What to do first??

My aim is to get windows fitted all the way round.  Four on the sides and two on the back doors.  I'm going to go for 'Privacy' glass which should hopefully look cool on a white van.  Then I'm going to source a nice Rock 'n' Roll bed and insulate and line the insides in a medium grey carpet.  The flooring will probably be some sort of laminate or linoleum.  I haven't decided yet.

Purchasing the Van

Hi, welcome to my new blog.  I thought I'd record my little journey into the world of creating a bespoke, cool, modern VW Camper / Day van.  Hope you find it useful.

After a good month's worth of searching I have finally found the perfect van for my Camper project. Well, I say perfect, but there wasn't much in the way of colour choices.  I would have preferred to have a black or Pure Grey colour but most of the vans out there with the sort of specifications that I wanted are Candy White.    The thing that convinced me that white might be a good choice was this...



and this...




So....I now have a nice white panel van which I purchased  from a company called Van Monster. They are part of the North Gate van rentals company.

My lovely 'new' van has low mileage (43k miles) and is only 4 years old with Full Service History.
