Converting a VW Caddy Maxi for LESS THAN £300! – Micro Caddy Camper Self Build!

Here is a video of my VW Caddy Maxi van conversion. In this video I go through the stages of insulating the van, ply lining the van and building a pull out bed. I bought a 2015 ex British gas VW caddy maxi and converted it into a weekend get away camper. I spent a while researching the best methods for the conversion and thought I’d share my process to help others. If you want to convert a van on a budget then this is the video for you. In total I only spent around £300 for the conversion.
