A stunning coffee table book for DIYers, interior design lovers, as well as vanlife and tiny homes enthusiasts, This Old Van is the complete how-to guide to plan, renovate and style your own vintage van to give it a second life.

Much-loved couple from The Block, Carlene and Michael Duffy, have received countless emails from keen renovators around the world asking for advice on refitting a vintage van or RV. They have compiled their tips, tricks, and the wisdom they have learned on their own projects and distilled it into one helpful and beautiful book. Learn what to look for when purchasing a second-hand van, follow detailed information on planning and construction, and discover plenty of design and styling tips, alongside beautiful photos of Carlene and Michael's many van conversions to help provide further inspiration.

For many, a van or RV is much more than just a holiday home – it's a vehicle for freedom and adventure, or might even be your permanent home. Carlene and Michael address every consideration from budgeting and spatial planning to colour palettes, so you can create your dream home on wheels.

Carlene and Michael Duffy are a husband-and-wife team who side-doored their way into the design and renovation space after their 2014 appearance on renovation reality show, The Block (Glasshouse). Michael is a qualified carpenter, licensed builder and now also a commercial pilot (he’s busy), while Carlene owns and runs interior design studio Cedar and Suede. Together, they are hosts on the Nine Network's renovation and design channel, 9Life. Based on Australia's Gold Coast, they’re parents to two funny, clever, strong-willed children (Paddy and Stella) and the most loved and loving golden Labrador, Harry. Their favourite and most rewarding renovation projects are their vintage van revivals.
