Hi, we're Alina and Timo from Sprintour. Many years ago, vanlife fever caught us. After remodelling a Caddy ourselves, a Sprinter followed, which we used to travel around Europe for a year. The van conversion captivated us so much that we wanted to do more of it! So we founded a company and are now converting vans into motorhomes full-time. Our passion has become our profession. And you can be a part of it, too!

Hi, we're Brina, Igor and Gerda from Explore the Outdoors. In summer 2018, we converted our first van, a Mercedes Benz Vito, and took many fantastic trips with it. Our three-week trip through the Scottish Highlands was a particular favourite. In June 2020, we then switched to a bigger model for a number of reasons and got a Sprinter. Due to the standing height, it not only offers us a little more "luxury", but also, most importantly, enough space for our dog Gerda. We are almost done with the conversion and can't wait to finally travel again.

We are Selina, Frank and Fiete and have been passionately on the road, travelling the world in our van for many years. Our love for independent, easy travel with an extended bus began in Australia and New Zealand. It quickly became clear that we needed our own bus, which we can design according to our ideas and needs. After a good four years of conversion, adaptation and improvement work, we had created the perfect camper for us with our VW T4, called Rudi. Then our son Fiete came along and our needs changed! For almost a year now, we have been expanding our wonderfully large Mercedes Sprinter – christened Bruno – and creating our new dream home on four wheels.

The ultimate guide for vanlife newbies
Everything you need to know about camper conversion & vanlife
Does vanlife appeal to you and you're toying with the idea of converting yourself a camper?
In this guide, we help you with basic decisions so that you can make your dream of owning a camper come true.
"A camper should have everything you need to travel on a bus, such as a bed, kitchen and wardrobes. You're essentially building yourself a little home on wheels. This is very challenging and exciting at the same time."
Project: Building your own camper bed
Load-bearing, space-saving and versatile
Think good, restful sleep is only possible in your own bed at home? Not with this bed! For all those who used this excuse to get away from camping – you have to come up with something else. The bed is not only super comfortable with the matching mattress, it is also a real space-saving miracle. If you need space, it can simply be pushed together. A real master construction, which you can also build with our instructions. Download and print the instructions or take them to the workshop or garage on your phone or tablet. And have fun building it!
Project: Roof terrace on the camper
A little piece of luxury and pure freedom
Travelling in your own camper van is pure freedom! But the space is often limited – after all, a lot has to go into the home on four wheels. That's why Frank and Selina want to make the most of all the possibilities of their van. With a sun terrace for their van, Bruno, our vanlife experts are literally adding to their freedom. On the new top floor you can relax, enjoy the sun and watch incredible sunsets. The basis for this is a roof rack – and you can learn how to turn it into a terrace where you can walk on in this guide. Have fun making it!
Project: Camper bathroom cabinet
The space miracle for all your bathroom utensils
You dream of a bathroom cabinet in the camper van - but there is just not enough space? This was the problem Alina and Timo faced during the conversion of their camper. This lead them to come up with a practical solution for integrating a small bathroom corner into their van. They store all their care and hygiene products, mirrorsand much more safely and in a space-saving manner in their homemade pharmacy cabinet. How they built the bathroom cabinet, they will tell you in this guide. Have fun making it!
Project: Camper Kitchen
A well-equipped kitchen is essential to ensure that the culinary delights in your own camper are not neglected! The two Vanlife experts Timo and Alina have created a lightweight kitchen in their Mercedes Benz Vito, in which the gas cooker, cooler, sink and much more can be accommodated. And it also looks stylish! With their construction instructions, you can equip almost every van with a kitchen you built yourself and adapt it structurally to your needs and your vehicle. Have fun making it!
