The Van Conversion Training School is an online course which has been designed to inspire and educate.

The innovative online course has been designed by the founder of Bear Hug Campers, John Stuckey, and aims to guide individuals through the process of converting ordinary vans into extraordinary tiny homes on wheels. Currently offered at a special price of less than £500, the course caters to both novices and experienced DIYers, and provides an all-inclusive roadmap for van conversions, covering everything from planning the layout and selecting materials, to installing electrical systems and building custom cabinetry.

John Stuckey, Founder of Bear Hug Campers and Campervan Conversion Specialist commented:
“Many adventure enthusiasts share the dream of converting their own camper, but find the idea overwhelming. I’ve designed this course to take away these concerns and coach my students through every step, so that their vision can be realised. I created Bear Hug Campers because, like many of my students, I have a passion for both travel and making beautiful living spaces. Our conversion workshop in Hampshire allows me to help individuals, whether via full commissions or by this course, to create their ‘tiny homes of wheels’. My hope is to encourage more to convert their own vans, so that people around the world can unlock the incredible potential of campervan travel and tiny home living.”
