Hello! We’re Yuko and Eric from Japan and Hong Kong. In late 2018, we bought a new Ford Transit because we dreamed of turning it into a camper and traveling all over North America and more.
It took us eight months to change our empty van into a comfortable camper we could live in. During those months, we worked really hard and faced many challenges to make our dream come true.
We grew up in the city and didn’t know much about using power tools or doing things ourselves. We had to start from the beginning, learning how to use a drill, cut wood, handle electrical wires, install drawer slides, and build a plumbing system that doesn’t leak. And there was so much more to do.
It was always very tough! We spent many hours watching how-to videos on YouTube, walking through hardware stores, and looking at products on Amazon. But when we finally finished our camper in April 2019, we both felt it was one of the biggest achievements of our lives.
Some of our cabinet doors are a bit uneven, and there are scratches and dents on the van, but we wanted to share everything we learned about turning a van into a camper on our website. We hope you like it!
