NEVAN Kit Workshop Build: Inside a Modular Campervan Conversion

NEVAN’s workshop film follows a panel van as it becomes a camper with modular furniture. The footage is a useful starting point if you are deciding what to buy as a kit and what to prepare separately. Here is how to use the demonstration when planning your own conversion.

What the workshop film shows

The demonstration follows the conversion from an empty load area to a furnished interior. You can use the sequence to see how individual furniture sections occupy the space and how the finished arrangement brings the sleeping, cooking and storage areas together. Watch the NEVAN workshop film and compare the finished space with the NEVAN gallery.

Pay attention to the order in which the pieces are moved into the van. A cabinet may fit in its final position but still be hard to manoeuvre through the door. The aisle, the clearance beside the kitchen and the access under the bed tell you more about everyday use than a single finished photo.

What to prepare before the furniture arrives

Record the van model, generation, body size and door positions. Take a second set of measurements after the floor and wall lining are in place. If you plan to add a fridge, hob, water tank or auxiliary electrics, decide where they go and who will install the services before furniture closes off those routes.

Keep prep, fitting and testing as separate lines in your schedule. The film demonstrates furniture assembly. Your project may include a floor, lining, wiring, plumbing or other work that has its own schedule and requirements.

How to turn the example into a quote

Start with the NEVAN kit catalogue and select the closest published layout. Make a list of the modules you want and any changes to the bed, kitchen or storage. Then use the Build Your Van configurator to send the vehicle details and request a written scope. Indicative kit pricing shows how the choice of plywood finish can affect the starting estimate.

Ask for the quote to separate furniture, additional equipment, installation assistance and delivery. That makes it easier to compare the workshop example with what will actually arrive for your vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

Does the film establish how long every conversion will take?

The film documents one workshop demonstration. Allow separate time for preparing the vehicle, fitting the furniture, installing any services and checking the completed work.

Can I order the same layout for any panel van?

Use the demonstration as a reference and confirm fit for your model, generation, roof height and wheelbase. Existing flooring, lining and equipment can also affect the layout.
