The E.U. Tour

Once the van conversion is complete, I’m hoping to use my new home to travel through Europe

More to follow soon.

Stealth Campervan or Full VW Conversion?

 

Before I plan the interior, I need to consider the finished campervan’s exterior, as that will also dictate the layout to some degree.

And to plan the exterior, I need to consider how I intend to use the van after it’s been converted. Since I may want to ‘sleep for free’ from time to time when I’m travelling through Europe in it - ie possibly in car parks or other quiet off road areas not necessarily designated as campgrounds – I don’t want my campervan to attract any unwanted attention during those times.

I need the campervan to be as inconspicuous (or as inconspicuous as a large white VW van ever could be), which means implementing as few external modifications as I can get away with.

Ultimately, I reckon if I throw a large dollop of creativity at the interior modifications, I won’t have to sacrifice much comfort by leaving the outside of the van well alone.

In addition, not only will free up more cash to put toward improving the interior, it should save me a few quid after the build, too. Possibly enough to pay the fines for camping in prohibited areas…

So, stealth camper it is then.

But what are YOUR thoughts on this?

Do you feel this is the right decision?
