What to look for when you're buying a second-hand van
If you follow us on social media, you’ll know that we recently bought a second-hand Nissan MV400, which we intend to convert into a camper over the next couple of months.
It can be so daunting buying a vehicle second-hand to use as a base vehicle for your van conversion, but in this article, we’ll be covering some of the things that we look for when we buy second-hand vehicles, which help to reduce the risk of buying a lemon!
What tools do I need to put electrics into my van?
We often get asked what tools we recommend to build offgrid power solutions in vans. Over the years of working with building electrical systems in vans/boats/cabins/overlanders, we've used a wide range of tools to build our solutions. A lot of these tools are not common tools that you can just buy in your average hardware store and unless you live in a big city that has specialist tool stores, it's likely that you'll be ordering the products off Amazon (or online) as we do regularly. We know what it's like buying tools from the internet - you find one that has good ratings, read the ratings and often take a punt and hope for the best. Sometimes it works out and other times it flops.
We decided that we would list some of our favourite electrical tools that we use when we build custom offgrid power solutions for the campervans and boats that we work on.
