Our Camper Van Project

We extend the concept of self-care to how we house our physical bodies, including the physical space in which we live. This means creating a comfortable home that reflects our personal expression. And also learning the practical aspects of housing, such as maintenance, electricity, water, insulation, and heating. This not only improves our living environment, but also creates a sense of empowerment, survival capability, and self-sufficiency.

This is our camper van, our home on wheels when we are away from home.

We committed to fixing up and “healing” a Fiat Ducato van ourselves.
While opting for a newer and sturdier base might have seemed like a practical choice, in the end, only certain brands provide a more environmentally friendly CNG-gasoline hybrid engine, which was important to us.

Our motorhome is on the smaller side. This choice has its advantages like being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and easy to maneuver and park.

It took us about a year to work on the van, we call Bow. Planning, customizing and finding the right parts took up a lot of time. Sometimes we got frustrated and thought about giving up. In the end, we finished the van, and the experience taught us a lot – not just about building a van but also about ourselves.
