Six months ago, I bought this DIY converted campervan to travel Scotland, my home country, after 12 years of living overseas. In this video, I'll be reviewing my campervan after 6 months of ownership.
Since acquiring this Toyota Hiace campervan, I have done some campervan DIY, enjoyed many nights of vanlife Scotland and made some incredible memories. Although I am not living in a van full-time, I have used this small campervan for many extended trips as a solo female traveller.
In my life, I have spent hundreds of nights in vans, doing both part-time and full-time van life. In this van review, I share my thoughts on the vehicle itself, the campervan layout, the campervan kitchen, the campervan water system, my van toilet, the van build electrics and my opinion on Starlink internet.
Whether you are interested in van conversions, looking to start your own van life adventure or are keen to do your own campervan build, I hope this video will be a helpful resource.

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
