You get to hear from real life van lifers and how they converted their campervan. This is my second van conversion and I wish I bought this course during my first conversion. It would've saved me a bunch of time and money.

All the way through, from start to finish it's very informative and thorough. I love how it was layed out, it builds upon itself and gets more in-depth.

Van Builds From Our students
MAX & SALENA

We saved a lot of time and money. We think the platform is great for anyone looking to self-convert a van because it gives you a lot of helpful guidance and inspiration and even helps you overcome the big fears and doubts about van life and van conversion.
Eamon & Bec

From the very beginning of our Sprinter Conversion, Scott’s build was a source of inspiration and guidance. He was (and continues to be) extremely responsive to any questions asked via social media and always goes above and beyond with a detailed reply. Having had the pleasure of meeting Scott in person, we confidently say that he is an expert in this field and to top it all off… he’s a GREAT guy!

Basically it's like a tutorial / crash course for anyone looking to get into van life. It talks about everything: if van life is for you, what van to choose, how to do the build out, layout, the really important stuff, the materials that you'll need. Also, you get to hear from real life vanlifers and how they do it.

When we started to look into van life we had a million questions and didn't know where to start. We really think Van Life Academy covers everything you need to know. It's going to make your progress a lot easier and affordable.

it's a great one stop shop to gather all the valuable information needed to convert a van. The information is in great depth and there's some amazing contributors sharing valuable information. The value is awesome! Our first thought was that the information is sourcable for free but when we went through the course we realised just how much time it would take to get this information and that fact that the contributors are so reputable you can be reassured the information is good.

Understanding everything is so much easier with van life academy
Virginia M

The course was great but I think it would be better to merge the step-by-step build guides with the rest of the course rather then having them separate
Nippon E.

To be honest we we're quite skeptical at first but we ended up with quite a few very interesting pieces of advice and ideas. I guess it can still be improved. I think it's really useful for people who want to try van life and don't really know how to start.
Andre C.

The course was great all the way through, from start to finish, it's very informative and thorough. I love how it was laid out. The tutorials and build out videos are a great way to put a visual on everything your learning.

I’ve been wanting to see something like this for newbie van lifers for a LONG time, and I’m really happy it was created. I really feel like the creators of this course touched on every single thing related to converting a van and living on the road. I think it’s organized really well and put together in a way that even someone who is a total beginner can understand it and start the process of buying their van, building it, and hitting the road.

When we started planning our own vanlife experience we scoured social media looking for inspiration and ideas. We quickly found Scott’s van and were inspired. Having the chance to see his van in person during our first build was a huge help. His knowledge and attention to detail set him apart from so many others in the community. I would highly recommend this program for anyone interested in vanlife.

It really has everything you need to know about van life. We are so ready to start our life on the road. It has helped us pick the right van and prepared us for everything that can come, and even told us how much it will cost us. It really is the gate to starting van life.
Anisa M

Vanlife Academy contained pretty much everything I needed to know about van life, it was like a one-stop shop. With this course, converting my campervan was much more efficient, and gave me more confidence in the process.

So well structured, you can find the different sections really easily and the information is really consistent. One of the things I really loved is that it has a shopping bit at the end so instead of having to search hours and hours on parts and components there was just a link to it. If it wasn't for the guide I would honestly still be doing it.

I do feel that some sections have too much text. I would find a way to make the text breathe a bit more by adding some more visuals, but the information is still very relevant and helpful

Bought the course, it's full of super useful links, highly recommend it to anyone considering it. It was a huge time saver when researching items and materials for the build". There wasn't as many money saving tips as I initially thought. but as I was going through I could see that the admins were updating and adding a lot more.
Niklaus Brunhilde

I really couldn't have done it without Vanlife Academy! My van is fully built and I managed to take it across Europe. It would be helpful if there was more information regarding the laws of van life here in Europe. But aside from that, great course!

I had always dreamed of having my own van, but I had no clue where to begin, or if I could even handle a project like this... Van Life Academy has helped me achieve what I never could have done on my own, just buy it, you don't want to do this alone!!
Darnell Walters
United States
We initially started planning van life through social media. Indeed it was overwhelming, conflicting, and time consuming. we decided to give van life academy a try and we loved it because of how everything you need is available in one place with consistency. Sure it's paid but we think it's worth it

I'm quite happy and fortunate that I stumbled across the van life academy from project van life which taught me everything I need to know to become a full time vanlifer. I can highly recommend it, im already 80% through the course. It's great, professional content, professional speakers, and strong support from the community.

My dream has been to buy my own van and make it a home on wheels. I want to say thank you to van life academy for a course that teaches this. It's really necessary information for a guy like I am who needs to learn.
Carly

I had no idea what I was doing because I never had anything to do with electrical before in my life. But this made it so much easier with nice little diagrams to follow, just made everything a lot clearer than if I had to figure it out for myself.

I was searching on the internet for so long to help me with my build because I had no idea what I was doing. I came across Van Life Academy and I loved it. It has everything in it. Definitely worth the investment it will teach you and save you a ton of time. I've been through it 3 times it's such a great course.
Kian Bell

The visuals are great. One improvement I would suggest is I wish more graphs were used within the course to showcase comparisons between different products.

Van Life Academy provides a great foundation. It's a one stop shop in terms of deciding what van is best for you, how to do electrical, plumbing, solar. If we had this sooner, we would've taken the leap into van life quicker, our building process would've been more condensed, and we would've saved more money.

Wanted to thank you for inspiring us and helping us. Very educational and if i do decide to go for the project it will be a huge help! Thank you Projectvanlife team for all the work!

I was a bit iffy about it because I had bought a van course before and regretted it. But this one was 1000% worth it

This course pays for itself many times over! It's amazing the amount of information that's inside this course. It's going to answer the questions that you already have. The team is great. if you come across something you haven't seen and you tell them about it they will update the course right away!
Wade & Dani

YES! This is more than worth the price. I have never seen a course covering everything from where to start with building your own camper, what tools are necessary for installing windows and doors and how much space each type of vehicle requires. And it’s all done in an organized format so you can easily find information on any given topic when needed – there were no dead ends or unanswered questions during my research here at all.
