Once you have an exact idea of the layout and what you will need to set up your van, you can start ordering online and buying the first essential parts in the stores.
To ensure that you can continue working and not have to wait for another order to arrive or drive to the hardware store over and over again, it is useful to order and buy important items in advance.
Make a list of all things you need for the first steps (make sure to check our full supply list or other steps). Try to think in advance in which order you want to work step by step, so you don’t forget to buy some essential things.
Besides all the essential parts for the van, you also have to think about the tools you’ll need.
Make a list for this too and check what you already have. You can hear from friends or family whether you can borrow material from them or buy it yourself.
This is a list of the tools we used:
