After building three different vans, I’ve learned a few things the hard way — and in this episode, I’m sharing the top 5 things I’d do differently if I had to start over.

From shrinking bed length due to insulation, to locking myself into fixed features that seemed like a good idea at the time (spoiler: they're better ideas out there now), this list is part confession, part cautionary tale. Whether you're about to build your first van or planning your third, these are the kinds of mistakes that sneak up on you — and stick around for years.

If you're in the early stages of your van conversion, this video could save you some serious money, space, and headaches. And if you've already made a few of these mistakes yourself… welcome to the club.
