I want to get into van life as a hobby, as I love car camping in my SUV.
Here are my choices:
1. Buy an already built/customized van
2. Buy a regular van, and spend months in my garage customizing it
For option #2 , I have ZERO experience with handy work, and I am not handy at all. However, I am decent at following directions (lol), so, theoretically, I can pull up YouTube videos and follow along.
I am thinking of option #2 as a hobby and a project to gain skills, build something exactly how I want it, and potentially save money. However, my concern is that I might be underestimating the level of skill, motivation, or even cost that this will entail.
