The Van Builder is an independent UK resource for people converting a van into a campervan themselves.
Our guides focus on the practical and legal side of a UK self-build: DVLA re-registration, insurance, weight and payload, gas and electrics, and the kit that actually works. We research each guide from official sources such as GOV.UK and the DVLA, link to them so you can check for yourself, and update guides when rules change.
We are not a manufacturer, insurer or converter, and nothing here is professional legal, financial or safety advice. For gas, electrical and structural work, always use a qualified professional where required.
