    Hi, if anyone in the Dublin area is considering a DIY camper conversion over the Winter and needs an extra hand, hit me up.

    I'm planning on starting work on my own van in the new year (a VW T25) and could do with some experience and learning a few tips in exchange for helping out anyone that may need a hand (not looking for money in return, just some experience and tips).

    I have experience with some power tools and not afraid of a bit of hard work so I'm not a total newbie! Cheers!:D

    There a facebook group called self build campervans and they are based in the UK, some nice images of conversions and ongoing projects.

    Im interested but a few years away at the moment

    Excellent! I'll check it out, thank you! I'm at welding school at the moment and in a few weeks I will be going to the UK, a company over there is going to show me how to fit pop top roofs.

    BTW forgot to mention that the insurance here is a bit of a nightmare compared to the UK with respect to self build campervans. Might be worth your while to just investigate it a little first before you commit to time and money converting. The other alternative is insure it as commercial but puts you in a predicament if you have any incidents, the van may not be covered as could be deemed as being altered from manufactures initial spec.
