I converted my Vauxhall van into a stunning motorhome over a year for less than £5k – all while I was working full time
A WOMAN has converted her van into a motorhome in a year for less than £5K, all while working full time.
The video was uploaded to Youtube by Vanvistas and viewers are surprised she managed to combine a full-time job and convert her van.
Former BBC journalist Kat decided to convert her Vauxhall Movano van into a motorhome and travel around the world.
She is currently on a tour with her boyfriend around Spain.
“It took me around 12 months to convert my van alongside my full-time job.
“I have spent more than six months travelling and I am pleased with everything,” said Kate in her Youtube video.

Kat installed a gas hob to cook her favourite meals, and above that, she has all her spice pots organised on shelves.
Next to the oven, Kat has a small fridge where she keeps all her fresh foods.
A keen surfer, she also has all her surf gear up on the van’s ceiling out of the way.
