💬 Welcome to The Van Conversion Club

Hey there, and welcome to The Van Conversion Club – our friendly community forum for DIY van builders around the world. Whether you’re still shopping for your first van or you’re halfway through cladding the ceiling in 30°C heat, you’re in the right place.

🛠️ What is this forum?

This forum is part of TheVanConversion.com – a site packed with guides, tools, and courses for people who want to convert their own campervan from scratch.

But the forum is where we come together: To share builds, ask questions, swap ideas, and support each other through the highs and lows of DIY vanlife.

👋 Who’s it for?

This forum is for DIY van builders – no matter your experience level. You might be:

• Sketching out your first layout

• Deep in the middle of carpentry or electrics

• Living full-time in your van

• Or just van-curious and looking for inspiration

If you're building (or dreaming of building) your own camper, you belong here.

🚀 How to get started

Here’s what we suggest for your first few steps:

1. Introduce yourself! Post in this General section and tell us who you are, where you're at in your build, and what kind of van you have. Bonus points for photos.

2. Ask a question Pick the most relevant category (e.g., Electrics, Planning & Design) and fire away.

3. Help someone else If you see a post you can answer – even a little – jump in and reply. This is how we all learn.
