Hi, I'm Jake

Joined on April 27, 2025

Hey, Im Jake from Journey Van Builds! I build campervans for a living and share the whole process on YouTube to help other DIY van builders chase their own adventures. I built Tilly the Toyota a couple of years ago and shes been my home on wheels ever since from road trips along the East Coast to day-to-day life on the Sunshine Coast. Now that Im running my own van conversion business, Im excited to be able to share a piece of that freedom and adventure with others. Tillys an awesome little home for anyone wanting to experience van life in comfort and style. I hope you love traveling in her as much as I have!

Had the best time exploring the sunny coast with Tilly! Honestly a 10/10 experience and Jake was incredible with his support. If youre looking for an expertly thought-out and well-built van, Tillys your gal!

Jake's Camper Van is reliable, trouble-free. We were extremely satisfied with the equipment, it includes everything you need for a trip. Jake is helpful, you can always get along with him. We recommend Camper Van Tilly and give it five out of five

Jake was easy to communicate with. We picked up the van with no issues and Jake ran us through all the essentials. The van was comfortable and simple to convert from daytime use to bedtime. The solar panel and water tank meant we were self sufficient. We worked on the road with our laptops. The van comes with everything you would need including cooking supplies, a fridge, a shower for washing up. It was summer and we found the heat warmed up the tank water so we could actually have warm showers, which was convenient. The window, fan and exhaust fan kept us pretty cool. All in all, it was a great trip and I would highly recommend Jake's van.

Booked Tilly for 4 days down to Byron Bay and couldnt be happier. Jake was super helpful with the pick up and handover The inside of the van looks absolutely stunning and everything is designed to be practical and comfortable. You can genuinely tell hes put a lot of thought and work into it. The little touches made it awesome the full spice set, the inside fans to keep you cool, and all the small details that make van life effortless. Highly recommend hiring from Jake!

Tilly was a superb campervan which really made our trip extra special. The facilities, utensils and set up was perfect for a few days camping in the Gold Coast hinterlands. The van drove really well and was easy to move around from place to place and was able to get into normal car park spots. Jake was fantastic with the handover and helping us out with little questions here and there throughout the trip.

We had such an amazing time with Tilly at the festival! The van was spotless, tidy, and really well equipped, everything we needed was there, and cooking was super easy. Tilly drives great and made our trip so comfortable and fun. Communication with Jake was fantastic from start to finish. The handover was smooth and easy, and he was really flexible and accommodating, which made everything stress-free. We couldnt have asked for a better experience, highly recommend both Jake and Tilly!

We had a great long weekend getaway in Hildi, she comes equipped with everything you could need in a camper, complete with charging ports, fans and dimmable strip lighting! The whole fit out is super modern, we were really impressed with the conversion. Jake was great to deal with, he was super available and helpful which made everything very smooth. I wouldnt hesitate to take Hildi on another adventure in the future

Tilly was such a great van to travel around QLD. Jake was a treat to deal with and was very flexible with our real early arrival to pick up the van. Communication was super easy at all stages of the holiday and he even went out of his way to suggest some beautiful places to visit and incredible hikes to tackle. There was no issue with the van at all, she was mechanically reliable and didn't skip a beat on our journey. The way Jake decked out the inside of the van is so practical, neat and cosy. Running water, power, spacious bench and kitchen area to cook, with plenty of storage for the two of us to enjoy the best of QLD while we were here. The only problem was to part with the van at the end of the trip! I would have gladly driven this beauty back to WA but will stick to recommending her to fellow travellers. Thanks so much Jake!!
