We're finally sharing a van tour of our campervan. We've been living in our self-built Sprinter campervan for 10 months now. We're based in the UK and travel around Europe. It's fully off-grid with 400w of solar, 450ah of battery and a 2500w inverter. And we cook off induction! We wanted our campervan to be bright, airy and modern (and seem bigger than it is!) so we painted it white. We then went in with some wood, gold and matte black accents. We set out to build the van in 28 days but it took double that (thanks to last year's polar blast in the UK). We're on the other side of the world to our friends and family so built the van completely by ourselves.
