The video is divided into four main topics: finding and purchasing your van, creating a budget spreadsheet for you to set spending goals, vehicle modification expenses, and lastly, a detailed cost breakdown of all the major systems for your van conversion. Featuring bamboo cabinetry, Victron components and 80/20 aluminum framing.
