Getting your van ready is the foundation of a solid build. Strip out what you don’t need, clean everything down, and get your insulation sorted before anything else goes in. A proper prep job means fewer squeaks, rattles, and regrets later on.
Remove old linings and panels
Insulate walls, roof, and floor to control temperature and noise
Flooring is more than just something to stand on, it sets the level for your whole fit-out. Start with a solid base like 12mm ply: strong, reliable, and ready for whatever finish you choose on top. Once the floor is down, the little details make all the difference… that’s where thresholds come in.
Thresholds cover the edges where your flooring meets the van or furniture, giving a clean, professional look while protecting exposed edges from wear and tear.
Choose durable, easy-to-clean finishes to suit your style
Fit the floor before installing furniture
Add thresholds after flooring for a neat, finished result
Check everything is level to avoid gaps or misaligned fittings
Electrics should always be planned before furniture is installed. Think ahead about where you’ll want sockets, LED lights, and fridge power. Leaving it as an afterthought usually means messy cable runs or things not reaching where they should.
Plan your wiring runs and leave extra slack
Decide where switches, sockets, and lights will be
Prep for fridge, lighting, and water pump power
If you’re running a sink or tap, get the plumbing prepped before your kitchen is installed. Think about where your water tank, pump, and waste will sit, and make sure you’ve left enough access to them.
Fresh and waste tanks need to be easy to access and fill
Plan for water pump wiring to connect with your electrics
Check sink cut-outs and placement before fitting worktops
