Campervan build: Table of Contents.
The van build blog posts in chronological order. The URLs are mostly formed from the titles, so you can get a very rough idea of what's going on from there. I may subtitle these if I can be bothered in future.
Just a reminder...this was ALWAYS a test-build with the intent to sell and fabricate another one FOR MY RETIREMENT at a time closer to my retirement, with a more modern vehicle as the time approached. That might be in two years, it might be in eight... The new build is not hard-coupled to my retirement and might come sooner. I might build five more vans in the mean time for some cash on the side, I might build none.
