It's been a bit of a while since we posted a video, sorry about that! Lots has happened on the van and also more generally. I got a new job in May and that has taken most of my brain power and energy recently. But we're now back to full steam on the van so that we can start using it as soon as possible (in fact, we're using it for the first time in a few weeks!!!)

This video is about our wall framing and insulation. We'll talk through our thought process, what we decided to do, how we did it and some of the techniques we used (including pocket hole joints and rivnuts). The build is now less structured as we're doing bits on the ceiling one day, the floor the next and the bed after that! So we'll try and continue to have a subject per video but we may eventually come on to more general updates.

Let us know what you think in the comments or with a thumbs up and see you soon!

WHO ARE WE?

We're Mark and Neil and this is Our Van Plan. We've always wanted a camper van and took the plunge in 2020 by ordering a brand new medium wheelbase (L2H2) Fiat Ducato. We are converting it ourselves into the van of our dreams with little previous experience. We're glad to have you along for the ride!
