Good morning by @radius_ulna "We red somewhere that the main reason people choose this life is really just to move around with their bed. It is kind of true ! Even if our duvet is a pain is the ass to put away every morning, this fluffy bastard is the main piece of our comfort 😏 As time goes by, we tend to stay in it more and more to just drink coffee and chill. Maybe one day we'll keep it that way and never see the sofa again 😅" #vanlifers #radiusetulna #travel #europe #vanlife #vanconversion #ontheroad #diy #projectvanlife #vanlifediaries #diyvan #tinyhouseproject #vanlifeideas #vangrrrl #homeonwheels #design #interiordesign #roadtrip #spain #ontheroad #celebratevanlife #alternativeliving #bedding #homeiswhereyouparkit #home #transporter4 #vwt4 (em Andalucía, Valle del Cauca)

Got the long wall all framed up in the van. It’s an ugly mish-mash, but it hits all the points I need it to. Learning a lot. ——————————————————- #vanbuild #vanlife #tinyhouse #diyvan #vanconversion #adecentproject (at Keith Decent) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OhMLDBsXn/?igshid=1t6mk1lbiixca

Finding the right Insurance

15/1/18

Of course this is one of the most boring, repetitive things to do but it's got to be done - we were totally in the dark of how we even go about getting insurance for a minibus diy camper. After some thorough reading through other diy blogs and endlessly googling we managed to find that there is such thing as a campervan conversion insurance...who would of thought.   

The best insurance broker by far was Herts:

https://www.hertsinsurance.com

It was slightly trickier getting cover as it ranges from 1-6 months in Europe usually but does not cover you while in the UK...erm so how are you supposed to drive it to Europe....The UK is backwards. Anyway after literally being on the phone for hours we finally got covered for both UK & Europe for a year. Result!

We feel like we are making progress - well baby steps anyway :)

Routed Plywood detailing around the bunk entrances are in and looking nice. Gives a bit of strength to the structure to help people scrambling in and out. #vanlifediaries #vanbuild #vanlifediaries #sprintervan #vanlife #sprinterbuild #sprinterconversion #campervan #campervanculture #selfbuild #vanconversion #getoutstayout #gtfoutside #goeverywhere #diyvan #camperbuslust #pikeylife #homeiswhereyouparkit #surfbus

Rear section painted up , steps rested in place and slats cut in for the fixed bed. #vanlifediaries #vanbuild #vanlifediaries #sprintervan #vanlife #sprinterbuild #sprinterconversion #campervan #campervanculture #selfbuild #vanconversion #getoutstayout #gtfoutside #goeverywhere #diyvan #camperbuslust #pikeylife #homeiswhereyouparkit #surfbus

The missus gets busy routing the floor panels for the van. We're using compressed bamboo boards. They look nice, are rock hard and they don't swell when wet or shrink at all. They do weigh quite a bit though..... #vanlifediaries #vanbuild #vanlifediaries #sprintervan #vanlife #sprinterbuild #selfbuild #vanconversion #getoutstayout #gtfoutside #getoutstayout #goeverywhere #diyvan #camperbuslust #pikeylife #homeiswhereyouparkit
