We're back on the Ford Transit L3 H3 stealth camper build — and this week, we’re tackling two big things: fixing a roof leak and breaking down the full cost of the van build so far. This van started life as a battered ex–electricity board workshop van… full of grime, stinking of oil, and generally in a right state. After a FULL strip-out and deep clean, major rust treatment, insulation, ply lining, flooring, skylight installation, roof fan setup and building a full stealth roof rack… we’re finally starting to make progress. Despite winter rain ruining EVERYTHING, we’re cracking on with a few jobs, fixing the leaking roof rack mount, tidying up the seals, unboxing some epic new Vandermoon gear, and—most importantly—answering the question everyone asks: 💰 HOW MUCH DOES A STEALTH CAMPER VAN BUILD REALLY COST? Today I break down: • Cost of the van • Insurance (and why correct insurance is CRUCIAL) • Materials, tools & Amazon bits that add up • Mechanical costs • Skylight, roof fan & roof rack costs • Gifted products vs what I paid for myself • The TRUE total spent so far on this build If you’re planning your own self-build van conversion, this video will give you the realistic, honest numbers nobody tells you.
