Turning a van into a cozy, functional home is a rewarding challenge — if you’ve got the right tools. Whether you’re new to DIY or a seasoned builder, here’s a quick guide to the must-haves:

Measuring & Layout Tools
Accuracy is key. Use a tape measure, carpenter’s square, straight edge, and laser level for precise cuts and fittings.

Cutting Tools

• Jigsaw: Great for curves and custom shapes
• Circular Saw: For long, straight cuts
• Utility Knife: Ideal for trimming insulation and flooring

Drilling & Fastening Tools
Equip yourself with a cordless drill, impact driver, screwdrivers, and a rivet gun for securing materials.
