Imagine travelling anywhere you like and spending a week being completely self-sufficient by using: power-free water system, full size bed with its spacious storage, solar energy for all your electric based needs, composting toilet, simple heating and cooling as well as energy saving lightning and dimming. This is my vision of minimalistic life that I've realized by converting my old van into a Camper Van Minimal with simple tools, no special skills and on a budget . And so can you with this handbook!
This manual contains almost 100 pages of step-by-step instructions and illustrations on how to convert any small van into a self-sufficient tiny house on wheels, so you can skip months of reading and watching video tutorials and get right to it:
Creating a comfortable passage between the living area and the passenger compartment.
Adding a new layer of flooring, which even increases the square footage slightly.
Building a multifunctional cabinet.
Mounting a simple plumbing system with a sink and a tap – no pump necessary (update: optional pump version added).
Installation of the solar panel with a detailed description of its connection to the controller, battery and your devices.
Constructing of a full-size bed (on which you can sit freely) with a huge storage compartment.
Simple implementation of a composting toilet with a ventilation system.
Organization of the simplest method of heating and cooling (update: diesel heater description added).
Implementation of lighting and dimming of the residential part.
Have a great camper van conversion and see you on the road!
