Kia PV5 Camper Conversion Series – What's Possible?

Today marks the beginning of a brand‑new chapter for us. The Kia PV5 Cargo Plus has finally arrived, and this video takes you through collection day, our first impressions, and why this platform is about to become a major part of our future builds. Whether you’re a van owner, an EV enthusiast, someone considering the Kia PV5, or you’re planning your own camper conversion, this series will give you a detailed look at what this new electric van can offer. We’ll be exploring everything from layout planning to modular design, off‑grid capability, battery management, and the realities of converting a next‑generation electric platform. In this episode, we walk through the PV5 in its completely stock form, discuss its potential as a camper, work van, or adventure vehicle, and outline the big plans we have for the build. If you’re interested in self‑build projects, EV conversions, off‑grid travel, or simply want to see what the PV5 is like in the real world, this is the perfect place to start. This is the first step in a full Kia PV5 camper conversion series, where we’ll document every stage from the design, fabrication, testing, and real‑world use. If you want to follow the journey from day one, make sure you’re subscribed.
