First, I thoroughly cleaned the front seats using my wet carpet vacuum cleaner (Bissell Spot Clean Pro). Then, I removed all the plastic parts from the cargo bay, tried out multiple methods for removing old silicone from the wooden flooring (heat, chisel, silicone remover), and treated the minor rust and bare metal spots with Rust-Oleum/Hammerite paint. To finish the day, I took a hike to my favorite sunset BBQ spot in St. Gallen, Switzerland and tried out my new IKEA STRANDÖN mini bbq grill.

Join me as I build my dream adventure camper, transforming my 2013 Fiat Doblo Maxi into the ultimate road trip van for exploring Europe and Switzerland. Every step of this Van Build Series brings us closer to the North Cape and the northern lights! Your support and feedback are incredibly valuable, so please feel free to comment below with your thoughts or any tips you might have!

Fun fact: If you think this Fiat Doblo looks familiar, it shares its platform with the Opel Combo, Vauxhall Combo, and Ram ProMaster City!
