We made rookie mistakes, poor design choices, and learned through trial and error. In this video, we show you everything that went wrong during our conversion, from the insulation to the electrical system, so you can avoid repeating our errors. What you'll find in this video: The most expensive mistakes from our first campervan conversion Design problems, water leaks, decisions that still affect our comfort How to avoid leaks and electrical errors The mistakes and failures that caused us the most stress and how we fixed them Campervan conversion mistakes we're still paying for today: From crooked furniture because "nothing is straight in a van" to leaks from using metal fittings with plastic parts. We learned that every detail matters: the choice of flooring, the placement of windows, electrical switches, and even the type of glue or sealant. If you're going to convert your van, don't miss this realistic guide to campervan conversion mistakes and how to avoid them. When we started, we watched hundreds of campervan conversion videos on YouTube, but no one talked about the real mistakes. We want to offer you an honest reference to make your van conversion project easier, safer, and more affordable. We're not professional carpenters or electricians: we're Lydia and Alexis, we live and travel around Europe in our campervan with our cat 🐾, and we learned everything through trial and error. This video summarizes our biggest campervan conversion mistakes, but also the solutions we implemented and what we would do differently if we were starting today. Mistakes that will cost you time, stress, and money: Not taking into account that nothing is straight in a van. Not installing frames with integrated mosquito nets. Mixing plastic and metal fittings in the water system. Not planning the placement of electrical switches. Not using enough sealant or silicone. Not planning access points for maintenance or repairs. Not leaving extra space for unexpected issues. Choosing the wrong flooring materials and finishes. Not installing LPG from the start. 💡 If you're planning to convert your van into a camper this year, this video will serve as a real checklist. Avoiding these mistakes can save you hundreds of euros and many hours of frustration. 💬 Tell us in the comments which mistake you think is most common or if you've made a similar one in your own conversion. We'd love to read about your experiences. ______________________________________________________ We are Alexis and Lydia, a couple made up of a Frenchman and a Spaniard, and we currently live in our van with our cat, Chaussette. After finishing the conversion of our Peugeot Boxer L4H2, named Hermes, we began an exciting journey across Europe. We share our vanlife experience and our travels to help you discover this lifestyle, explore incredible places with us, and learn how to make it a reality if that's what you're looking for.
