I love campervans but couldn’t afford one… so I transformed my car into the same thing for £20 using Wilko bargains
A CAMPERVAN fan who couldn’t afford to buy one did the next best thing and transformed their car for just £20.
The TikTok user known as “@cornlawl” went on the social media site to show their followers just how they did it using Wilko bargains.
They title the footage as: “Turning my car into a camper for £20”.
In the wordless video, set to the tune of Broncho’s Try Me Out Sometime, they start off by cutting some wood panelling to size and fitting it to the back of their blue Vauxhall car.
They then added some artificial turf in the boot of the car.
Next they are seen adding in some bubble foil multipurpose insulation which can be bought from Wilko for just £20.
They cut the pieces to size to fit around the windows before adding some decorative touches with some little lights and putting in a duvet.
The video then ends with a handful of clips from the 2014 documentary film Valley Uprising about the group of counterculture climbers who live out an alternative lifestyle in Yosemite valley, US.
It managed to strike a chord with viewers, with the short clip having been watched more than 3,200 times.
Commentators waded in with their support.
One wrote: “So proud xx.”
Another added: “I’m obsessed with this.”
While a third person said: “Vancore”.
In April this year, a family of five showed how they all manage to live in a campervan and the kids seem to love it.
The same month, a couple revealed how they splashed out thousands to convert a van into a mobile home and they are now travelling the world.
Elsewhere, a couple who ditched city working for a life on the road gave their pros and cons of “van life”.
