The installation of our van Uyo

Our van Uyo is our little house on wheels. It’s a Volkswagen T4 4×4 synchro that we found in the north of Finland.

We chose to build our van for several reasons:

  • The freedom in our choice of layout
  • The costs could be more easily optimise
  • The lack of options for already installed vans in Finland

Building Uyo took us 1 year, working on it at weekends and with a break in winter as we had no indoor workshop.

We gathered all the rushes (video) taken during the construction of the van to put together this video. We describe the work from the purchase of the van to the installation of the walls and the floor. We are preparing a second video that will show you the second part of the work from the construction of the furniture, to the installation of the electrical and water systems.
