Hi, I’m Ruben. The past few years have been an adventure I never imagined. I’ve spent one year living in a campervan, one year on a sailboat, and traveled across almost all of Europe – from snowy mountain roads in Norway to warm Mediterranean nights. Along the way, I’ve built five campervans – each one teaching me valuable lessons (and a few hard ones too). Now it’s time for the next chapter: I just bought two new project vans, and over the next few months, I’ll be transforming them from empty shells into fully functional homes on wheels. And here’s the best part: 👉 I’m sharing the entire process with you. Why? Because I know how overwhelming it feels to start your first van build. Back when I built my first one, I spent countless hours on YouTube and blogs – yet still made mistakes that cost time, money, and a lot of stress. Five builds later, I’ve learned what works (and what definitely doesn’t). My goal is to help you skip the painful trial-and-error and give you a head start. What to Expect: 🔨 Step-by-step guides – insulation, electrics, plumbing, furniture 💡 Tips and hacks I’ve picked up over the years 📦 Gear and materials lists for every stage of the build 🎥 Behind-the-scenes videos – showing both the wins and the setbacks 😂 … and honest stories about when things don’t go to plan (because they never do!) Join Me From the Start Whether you’re dreaming of building your first van or just curious about how an empty van becomes a rolling home – this is going to be fun. I’ll share the good, the bad, and everything in between so you get the real picture of van building. So, are you in? Follow me here on the blog and on Instagram (@VanLifeBuilders) to join from day one. Let’s build something amazing together. 🚐✨ Have you build any vans? Post some pictures 🤩
