This is my 2014 L2H3 self-built Vauxhall Movano camper van.
The whole build took around 12 months alongside full time work and came in at less than £5k. I've been travelling full-time in it for more than 6 months now and I'm really, really pleased with everything

Yes, it's a van conversion but what you're are actually watching is a person's dream, becoming a reality! I was literally gripped for 22 mins - great video.
You deserve credit to doing it in the garden without a workshop. Very nice result.
Haha thank you! It was definitely a game changer when I realised half way through that my local B&Q do 15 free cuts when you buy your wood there 😅 so after some clever measuring up, the kitchen came together pretty quickly
That whole conversion is incredible, but I’m particularly in love with that beautiful wood stain.
Stain makes all the difference visually ✨ Most of the wood is reclaimed from cheap tables on Facebook Marketplace
What a brilliant conversion, such a great achievement, so rewarding, hope you're having fun with it
This was....WOW!!! My partner and ijustbpught a van and this is the first video I've watched to get my head around the whole idea. I'm so inspired and excited - thankyou sooooooo much!!!!
Thank you for sharing your video. What a transformation you have done. Enjoy your adventures wherever you may go.
There's no end to this woman's talent very impressed
That made me smile lots 🥰
@@vanvistas loved watching you takel all the different jobs of the build with ease well done
@@vanvistas bullgand
Forget the van ... get this woman on a yacht! All the right skills and attitude!
What a fantastic van...it really is a credit to all your hard work..David..
wow! what an awesome transformation. really beautiful!
Very nice job when it’s finished. That was a lot of hard work & attention to detail. Well done. 👍
Wow! Well done, I'm sure you're going to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Incredible quality and skills. Absolutely the best...
That's so great and beautiful inside your conversion home van. I'm really really proud and glad to you. Well done for you 👏 👍 🙌 👌 😀
You need to urgently sleeve the solar panel cables where they go through the roof. They will chafe and cause a major short.
Big whoop 💩
Yeah, the hole needs to be deburred too. It will help the lifespan of the electrical.
Ain't got time for osha safety regulations when you decide to be homeless and live in your car.
They’ve been fine so far and it’s been more than a year. The roof is made of fibreglass and not metal, so I don’t think it’s even sharpe enough to chafe the cables 🙃 would probably have done it in hindsight but I seem to have gotten away with it
@@assordante2205bizarre how you clicked on the video really if you have nothing positive to contribute. must be angry at your own shortcomings to write something like that lol.
Brilliant video Kat. Wonderful in time lapse. Fabulous home on wheels. Keep loving the life. And the excellent cooking 😋😁
Thanks so much! The build feels like such a long time ago now 😅
Damn girl what an awesome job, hope you enjoy that van!
That was awesome watching you through you journey. I really enjoyed it. Congratulations.
Thank you so much! It was definitely a journey 😅 but so worth it!
Wow! You did an amazing job! 👍🏻What an epic build here! 😃
Thank you so much!
Wow. Unreal flip. Incredible detail and skill and imagination 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! That means a lot ☺️
Outstanding van build.
Wow so much work, effort, passion, skill, knowledge and so FAST watching, one has little time to digest the small details of the process that I am sure it must have taken months. What a REWARDing piece of ART !! ---- Genius and Beautiful !! ---- Enjoy it.
That’s so nice of you! It was a lot of work, but absolutely worth it! It’s crazy seeing it all come together here so quickly 😅
Super Girl in action. Gr8 to watch at work.
I have never done anything like this but I am a home renovator and an automotive restorer. I am very particular and really wonder how cool I could do something like this. I really like things looking like they were at a high level of build or a very fine factory finish. You guys did a very nice job at this and have some great ideas.
That was freakin awesome from start to finish 👏
Wow, you work really really fast!
Thoroughly excellent, very much enjoyed watching your video, epic build and fantastic level of finish,
Thanks so much 😊
I'm super impressed! Not only is she beautiful, very skilled as well 👍👍👍👍.
What a super job folks.👍
Nice to see! You should also tag Opel Movano and also Renault Master, since that's what it is in order to get more viewers. Great work!
Absolutely mind blown. Wow 😍👌🏾
Im impressed by this to guys amazing job.Well done
Beautifully done.
Very nice! Just WOW!
Loved this Kat 😍 you smashed it and such an incredible achievement 🫶🏼
It’s pretty crazy watching this back now! I hardly believe it’s me 😅
FANTASTIC!
amazing build! well done
That girls got game, good work miss
Wow great build
Hands down the best camper conversion vid I’ve seen…and I’ve en thousands. The quality of the build and the attention to detail was beautiful. Happy travels x
That’s just made my day, thank you! ☺️
And it only took 22 minutes.
Probably we had watch 2 different video...😳
Narrator: he hasn't seen thousands. Probably 20-ish at most.
awesome stuff, great inspo for my own build, thanks
Great build, especially considering the budget! Respect! 🙏🏽😎
Thank you! It was a blessing and a curse doing it over a year because although it felt like a lifetime, I was able to shop around and find great bargains on second-hand sites
Great job!!👍
Ohhh man I'm soooo jealous of your build!! Definitely inspired to go for it and finally get to buying & converting a van as I've wanted to do for the longest time, but been so nervous without having the workshop or appropriate space to do so. But seeing someone take what they've got available to them and just getting into it is truly inspiring. LOVE it!!
YES!! You can absolutely do it! You can learn everything on KZhead and it’s worth checking in on Facebook forums to see if there’s an affordable co-workshop space near you
You can be very proud of the work you did on the van
🥰
Lovely. Enjoyed the vid
Wonderful job!
Well done!
Lovely work👍🏻
Fantastic work kat... i like that its got a fibreglass roof too...lighter and wont rust!.. look forward to more 😊
And it’s SO tall inside, definitely makes the MWB feel so much more spacious! ☺️
@@vanvistas yeah I do love the layout!...headspace is a must for me 😊
@@Builditfixituseit I even have to use a little stool to get to the back of my cupboards 😅
@@vanvistas 😆😆...oh!..im the other end of the spectrum...😆
Great timelapse! And funny to see all the different places where you built.
Haha mostly on the wonky streets outside my boyfriends house and in his garden, it was a luxury if I was able to get time off work to go to my parents farm and work on it on the flat with space to work right next to the van! 😅
Outstanding !!
This was so therapeutic to watch. Very interesting. We're about to embark on our van-build so it's been really helpful to see this one completed! Thank you for sharing.
Oooh exciting! Best of luck, KZhead is the place to be, I learnt everything from KZhead
Good job young lady, fair play to you for getting stuck in, brilliant result, very nice van, 😁👍
Thank you so much! The hard work is definitely paying off 👊🏼
Gratulacion🙂
Well done you two. You've put together an amazing camper van. I wish you both the very best in health and happiness and hope it gives you many years of trouble free motoring. Awesome job well done. Time now to go enjoy the Labours of your hard work.. 🍀❤️🍀❤️🍀Dave, at the Giants Causeway here in Northern Ireland ❤️❤️❤️👍
That’s such a lovely message, thanks so much Dave! We spent last summer in Ireland exploring all down the Wild Atlantic Way and LOVED it!
@@vanvistas Well folk's I hope you get back again for another visit soon . Best wishes to you both on your adventures. 🍀❤️🍀❤️🍀👍👍👍
So nice ...happy camping
Great van, amazing that it was done on such a tight budget. Still absolutely love the insulation, don't know how many times I've linked to that video. 😊
That’s awesome thank you! I’ve got to say I’m still very please with it after 6 months, so maybe I should do a little update at some point

@@vanvistas and I hope you have correct the electrical mistakes...
Great build and a job well done - don’t listen to any of the keyboard builders you did a amazing job
Thank you so much!
Wow what a beautiful job you have done. Looks amazing. Credit to you. Very talented young couple Well done 👍👍👍👍

Great aesthetics and taste! And engineering skills! One of the best if not the best I have seen. Tidy, elegant and stylish.
That means a lot, thank you! 🥰
Well done absolutely amazing job masave respect two you stay safe keep the fantastic work up 🤜🤛
Thanks so much 😊
Outstanding! An attractive and practical woman!
Great build ! I see the last caddy one, but this is wow 😀
Thank you! The caddy was lovely, but this really is a tiny home 🤩
Frumoasa și priceputa!felicitări 😉👍
Great job.👍 The battery cables would better be fed trough a grommet though. Campers vibrate.
Thanks for your video, it was so interesting to watch. Incredible how professional your work was done. I am now 69 y old and too old for that sort of work... now we are travelling with a Campingcar which we bought 2 years ago... But this is not the same when you build something yourself, you have all my respect 👏. Hope see you one day on the road😎 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Michel
Thanks so much Michel, I hope you’ve been enjoying some adventures. One of my older brothers is currently living in the North of Germany, so I hope to come and visit next Spring 😊
@@vanvistas Hi, i live in the south near the city of Nuremberg but I have been this summer for a week in North Germany on the camping area of Schelling. Was a very nice place to be, we were driving a lot with ebikes but it was definitely to cold for a swim 🥶 So we decided to drive down to Italy and stay in place called Castiglione della Pescaia. Lovely place to swim with fantastic clear and warm water... Love to come one day to UK, I've been working and living there 1978-79 in London and then in the 80s in Wiltshire near Bath. Have a lot of good memories from that time and met a lot of beautiful people there... Take care and have a lot of good driving with your van👋
I'm 67 and building a 7.5t pan Asia truck - so far on my own....
Beautiful video! Good lake!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Cracking conversion video, well done.
Thanks so much 😊
Such a cool video! Well done 👍
Thank you! It’s so nuts to see it all together like this. I think I missed out a few tantrums though 😆
Wow! Amazing! Beautiful van!
Thanks so much! It’s definitely all paying off now ☺️
Simply inspirational 😁😁😁😁😁
Job well done looks spot on 👍👍👍
complimenti, bel lavoro...
Talented - great job 👏🏼
Thank you so much! A lot of hard work, but gone there in the end 👊🏼
Brilliant 👏🏼
Well done girl excellent job.
Not because is a girl but by far the more complex video step by step ive seen so far.. Seen over 100h of tutorials and tips to renovate my 1987 caravan and they all either lose 30mins in the simpliest detail and make it a 100h series or is 10min video where from minute 05:00 to 05:10 it goes from having nothing to have the insulation process done 🤣. Thank you for the good video! Clarified some of my questions since in google once says dont do this and right away next video says you should be doing this.. 😅
Gorgeous well done guy's 👍
Thank you! It feels so surreal that it’s all finished and we’re off travelling
너무 가지고 싶당~~~❤ 여행의 행복을 바로 즐길 수 가 있을꺼 같아요~ 행복하게 지켜보다가 폭 빠져버렸어요~~ 감사합니다~❤
its just wow.
Really good conversion
Thanks so much, is SO nice to finally get to enjoy all the hard work 😅
Neat,Thanks. Definitely grommett those roof wires.
The roof is fibreglass, and the cables are super tight and secure so I’m not worried
Not to make it a point of contention, doesn't matter if its made of turds. Hard vibration vs soft cable.
The van looks amazing! Wonderful attention to details to make it homey. I am wondering if you have a toilet hidden in one of the seats. Or if you have an outdoor shower. I love the hanging bed table and the little pocket for books! Lovely!
Hey! Thank you! There’s a compost toilet in the middle section under the bed that slides out and we have a USB powered shower that we can set up outside or inside. There’s a van tour video on my page, if you have a scroll that shows a few more bits
Sei stata bravissima....buon Viaggio😊
Amazing! 😮
Great work
Super Cool!!! Couldn't stop watching.. man..I want a van.. if you can do it.. so can I. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!! Looks amazing btw!! Van on!!
heck yeah!
Fantastic 🎉
Uau, que maravilha que ficou. Lindo trabalho, parabéns.
I now want to convert a van now! Amazing work…
Thanks so much! This makes it look a little too easy 😅 but you can absolutely do it! KZhead has video tutorials for everything you could ever need
Mis respetos y admiración para esa señorita
Nice,good job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
lovely job hope mine turns out that good
I’m sure it will! Perseverance is key 😅 there were definitely a few times where I just stood in it staring at it for too long not knowing what to do next and exhausted from working full time and spending all my spare time learning how to do things 😅 but you power through!! 🙌🏼
Super nice video AND work❤
What kind of car?
Thank you! It’s a Vauxhall Movano L2 H3
Masterpiece :)
Very impressive 👏🏻
