Welcome to Episode 12 of the Vansformation podcast!   In this solo episode I discuss 8 practical ways to save your hard-earned cash on building the van conversion of your dreams.  These apply to your van conversion project no matter the type: motorhome, food truck, mobile studio, live-in campervan or any other.   I know these because have experienced the benefits of following this advice myself, and the consequences of not always applying it.  Consistently following all 8 of these would have saved me at least £2000 on my current van.   It actually would have saved more, but I stopped keeping close records of expenses at a certain point because it was a little too painful to watch.    They are definitely lessons which will be with me on all upcoming projects.  Listen in for all the details.Where to find the van building tips in the podcast:  8.
