We bought our 2020 Peugeot Boxer (H2L2) in May 2024 and completed the camper van conversion in February 2025. It took roughly 80 days of pretty hard work and many hours spent watching YouTube tutorials to learn the skills and methods required. We took inspiration from @NateMurphy, @GregVirgoe, @DualEx, @OurVanPlan who've helpfully shared their knowledge and experiences. Good luck to anyone thinking about taking on a project like this, it’s hard but it’s worth it. We’ve lived in our camper van for over 6 months and we’re pleased to say our handiwork is holding up allowing us to fulfil our dream of travelling around Europe.
❗️We took great care with every single step to do things safely, always seeking advice from experts where necessary.
