Rémi Boukli, a 35-year-old building energy efficiency engineer, bought a used Renault Trafic in 2024 and spent eight months converting it into a camper for travel without booking accommodation. The total cost, including the van purchase, was about €20,000.
During the conversion, he had to remove tile adhesive, install windows, insulation, furniture, solar panels, and undergo the French VASP certification procedure.
