CHEAP & SIMPLE VAN BUILD - VW T4 campervan conversion for WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TRAVELS

We purchased this VW T4 van after the first lockdown and decided to convert it into a camper van relying pretty much only what I could beg, borrow and buy on Amazon.
I don't think the van well ever be finished, as I'm always wanted to add and change things, but for now, here it is.
I have been busy filming loads of new content recently, so plenty of new wildlife videos to come.

I really admire those who do a van build on a budget and especially those who recycle/reuse old furniture and materials.
The build is functional but not overly complicated while still looking like a nice place to work and relax. Well done, I like it a lot.

I bought a T6 nearly 6 years ago to use as an overnight bed for my photography. I figured I could travel to a destination late evening for a sunrise shoot the next morning. Since then we’ve moved house twice, I changed my job, and family issues has left it still as a Kombi ( 3 seats up front, 3 seats in the rear with a huge boot space ). Your van is a perfect example of how simple a conversion can be, it does everything you need it to, and keeps it inexpensive 👏👏👏

It's a great little home build, it works for your needs which is ideal🤙

[@allanb52]

Doing things a bit different in terms of cheap and I like that. My Vivaro is on similar lines, but the R&R bed/Smev kitchen swivel double seat route and 8 years on coming up to 200 nights for me, the wife and a dog named Boo. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice van, glad you had the confidence in building it on your own. Absolutely a banger budget camper van. Thanks for sharing
