Nobody Builds Campervan Floors Like This Anymore!

Building a DIY campervan floor sounds simple, but as first-time van builders, we quickly realized it’s a lot more than just laying down wood! In this video, we take you through the entire process of building the floor in our L4 van—from measuring and the endless "scribing" to the mishaps and overthinking that come with DIY woodwork. We wanted a floor with proper thermal properties, so we went "old school" with our materials. Follow along as we deal with missing tools, hot weather, and the steep learning curve of scribing around wheel arches and B-pillars. If you enjoyed the video, please give it a "Hype" and subscribe to Sal & Lew to follow our full campervan transformation. We’re learning as we go, and we’d love to have you on the journey with us!
