In Part 1, I start the build: clearing it out, insulating, sound deadening, and laying the foundations. I’m finally starting my Ford Transit Custom campervan conversion. My goal is to go completely off-grid, park on top of a mountain, and wake up with a coffee in hand while enjoying the sunrise from my own self-built van. In this first episode, I cover the groundwork of the van build: • Clearing out the van interior • Checking the floor and treating rust • Installing sound deadening (using Dodo Mat) • Adding insulation and floor underlay • Carpet lining the walls for a cozy finish I also give you a quick van tour of my Transit Custom SWB High Roof and talk through my plans for storage, sleeping setup, and making it feel like a true home on wheels. This is just the beginning of my ultimate DIY campervan conversion project.
