The Build
Check out Henrietta, my DIY Nissan NV200 micro camper conversion! After 2 months of drawing, planning, ordering parts, and converting the van itself, my camper was ~complete~ and ready to hit the road. With the tight timelines I had, there are still many improvements I'll continue to make; however, what's completed now is what I travelled with for 3 months across the USA!
