Real workshop experience

Written from real conversion experience in Jávea, Spain.

56 pages of practical camper conversion explained step by step.

Learn to plan and understand a full conversion from scratch: bed and furniture, insulation, flooring, 12 V electrics, leisure battery, DC-DC, solar power, lighting, fridge, fresh and grey water, shower, ventilation, heating, storage and safety.

Includes visual diagrams, installations shown inside the van, side, top, rear and cross-section views, practical examples, materials, VICROVANS tips and mistakes to avoid.

The goal is for a beginner to see how an installation looks, understand how it works and decide what they can do themselves and what should be left to a professional.

Avoid this

Common mistakes that cost money

The most common failures we see in the workshop and how to avoid them from the start.

Buying batteries before calculating real consumption.

Installing an oversized inverter you'll never use.

Drilling the roof without a watertight cable gland or proper sealant.

Insulating with materials that absorb moisture.

Using undersized cable and causing voltage drops.

Forgetting the maximum authorised weight and travelling overloaded.

Take a look inside

Real pages from the guide

Clear diagrams, calculation tables and ready-to-use templates.

12 V electrical installation
Solar + MPPT + battery
LED lighting
12 V fridge
Fresh and grey water
Bed with storage
Flooring and insulation
Ventilation

Furniture and storage

These are real pages from the guide you'll receive.

A wrong purchase can cost more than this guide

An unnecessarily large inverter, a poorly chosen battery, an undersized cable or an unsuitable fridge can cost hundreds of euros.

The VICROVANS philosophy is simple:

CALCULATE FIRST. BUY LATER.
