You can mount the urine diverter in a couple of ways. If you have mounted your siphon to the wall of your DIY composting toilet, you could screw the urine diverter directly into your ‘toilet seat’, or the lid of your van toilet. Alternatively, you can cut a recess for the urine diverter to sit in, as we did. You can either do this with a router or a multi tool. We used a multi tool as we were mounting it into a bench seat that already existed in the van and it was easier to get into the space, but if we were doing it from scratch we would have probably used a router. Is there something I need to do to the router?? Or am I better off buying a different router (the same as the one you suggested above) just for travelling in the EU?? Guys!!!!! I brought your book for my other half for his birthday and he hasn’t put it down since!!!! We are planning our own van project and your book has been the most detailed, insightful and encompassing “van lifer” bible we’ve found. It’s making up consider everything with a different view and make educated decisions about what we want our van to achieve – thank you for all the time and care you’ve put into it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Once you’ve planned your conversion and designed your layout, you’re ready to start converting your campervan! Finding the perfect base vehicle for your camper is the first step. Depending on your layout, you may want to opt for a larger van such as a Sprinter or a Ducato, or a smaller van such as a Transporter or Transit Custom. Large vansFor 720p video at 60 frames per second, the bitrate should be between 3,500 and 5,000 kbps. In terms of upload speeds, that means between 4.4 Mbps and 6.2 Mbps. For an addicted sewing fanatic I know she must have really appreciated the gift as the sewing machine wasn’t touched for a couple of days!

For fast and stable speeds, most important is, what type of 4G connection you use, regular 4G or 4G+, does the area where you connect have 4G or 4G+ towers…Even once our own build was complete, we found ourselves answering hundreds of questions about the process, and so we continued to refine our knowledge to ensure we were giving people the best possible guidance. We have now easily spent enough time to have converted several vans (each!) understanding the van conversion process and the most efficient way of taking your very first idea, to your very own home on wheels.

This book is a real gem. Clearly laid out is great easy to understand sections. Before plunging into anything, I always like to carry out as much prep/research as I can and this is great starting point to my journey. I haven’t even chosen a van yet and I’ve already read through most of the boo, it’s been so interesting and refreshing to see all the information you need pulled into one place! Couldn’t recommend enough 🙂We have a few useful articles which explain exactly how to fit windows, skylights and solar panels to your campervan: Great detailed guide with options for different van types and configurations. Just the book for a comprehensive guide to save me hour’s of research time on my project. Would be great to see this updated every few years. We are members of 1% for the Planet.

Any suggestions for a new data provider now that Tiekom no longer supports the roaming plan (due to some changes to their upstream provider’s service agreement)? The 300GB + Roaming plan is now just the 300GB plan. =(
