Van Conversion Guides

Build a van.
Live without
paying rent.

Real guides from someone who actually did it — 7 house flips, 3 van builds, 2 years on the road in Australia. No theory. No 15-minute YouTube edits. Just what works.

From 7 house flips
to van life — three times over.

I've flipped 7 houses, converted a van from scratch, upgraded it three times, and lived in it for two years travelling Australia. My initial build cost about $10,000. Over those two years I saved well over $60,000 in rent alone.

What I learned quickly is that YouTube gives you inspiration, but actually building a van is a completely different game. Nobody tells you what goes wrong.

These guides will. I walk you through the entire process — what I did, what I got wrong, and what I'd do differently if I started again tomorrow.
