THE VAN

Meet Becky.

A 2004 Ford Transit self-build camper that was never meant to be a £50,000 showroom van. Functional, over-engineered in places, unfinished in others, and constantly evolving.

What you'll find here

This page will become Becky's full story: the original van, conversion timeline, layout, power system, water, heating, Beacon control system, repairs, upgrades and the bits that absolutely did not go to plan.

The point isn't to pretend the build is perfect. It's to show what worked, what didn't and what we'd do differently next time.
