Van Build Tools
Learn how we used these tools in our van build and why we recommend them.
Best beginner’s power tool combo kit. This kit gives you almost every single tool you need to complete a van build.
The ultimate van building tool, and our personal choice, pricey but worth the investment for a quality tool.
The ideal cabinet making companion. Make straight cuts in large sheets of plywood. Start anywhere with the plunge function.
If you already have some Ryobi 18V batteries, then this jigsaw is an affordable addition to your tool box.
Pocket screws are a strong, and easy way to build plywood cabinets, and furniture in your camper.
For getting accurate measurements inside your camper before you build, it is hard to beat the convenience of a laser measurer.
Van Build Products
Find out how we use natural and sustainable materials in our van conversions to create a healthy living space.
Cork is a fantastic natural insulation that is thin and lightweight, and has great sound deadening properties. We have used cork in all our van builds.
Oiling wood floors with linseed oil is a centuries old tradition in Scandinavia. For the classic whitewashed look, you can also soap your floors using linseed oil soap.
Sleeping on a mattress made of wool, and natural latex will give you a cool, and supportive sleep. Avoid memory foam mattresses made of toxic petrochemicals.
The Nature’s Head Composting Toilet is popular in the van life community for separating liquids and solids. It comes with a built in fan.
Build your own DIY composting toilet with this kit for a fraction of the cost of popular van life composting toilets.

Our personal choice for keeping our valuables safe when we leave the camper.
