Charlie Low and Dale Comley planned to take a year off from their 9-5 jobs to go travelling. It turned out so well they won’t be going back.
We knew that we wanted to live differently, says Charlie.
We documented our van conversion – sharing the process online – and began receiving a lot of questions from other people who were doing the same. We realized there was a gap in the market; a lack of definitive, factual information based on data rather than opinions and individual experiences.
Charlie’s and Dale’s backgrounds are in physics and engineering. With the hands-on experience they’d gained from their own van conversion they wrote The Van Conversion Bible – a comprehensive guide to achieving a bespoke van conversion. To their amazement, it became a bestseller, winning Writers’ Digest self-published book of the year.
It was rewarding to see the value so many people found in the book. We noticed that where people struggled most with their project was the electrical system. Most aspects of a van conversion can be figured out, but the electrical system can be complex for anyone who doesn’t come from a technical background.
