A COUPLE transformed a DPD truck into the world’s most futuristic camper van – full of secret storage space and hi-tech gadgets. Ladi Jecminek and Margaret Miller, who met when she hitch-hiked a ride in his van , took on the task of this outrageous makeover together. 7 A couple have shown off their transformed delivery truck Now they have shown off the results of what the pair call their “futuristic ‘tiny home'”, full of impressive features .
They bought the former DPD delivery van for £9,500 three years ago. And the pair say they have spent “countless hours” working on it. They posted a video tour on YouTube, saying: “We tried to be as innovative, creative and practical as possible to ensure this van is perfect for us in all the many years to come.
” The interiors include a reclining couch, fresh water storage, a fully kitted-out kitchen and a “tech wall” including camera gear. The van also boasts 1kW solar energy, two panoramic roof windows, two showers – one inside and the other outdoors – and a 3D printer, in a nod to Ladi’s profession in the printing industry. Showing off their wall of gadgets, including a high-powered camera drone, Margaret says: “It might look a little bit crazy but it makes travelling with camera gear so much easier.
” The van’s tech doesn’t stop there, as the kitchen’s appliances include an oven, a freezer, a stove, a fridge, a coffee machine and a blender.

Their genius bathroom is disguised as a regular kitchen unit, with the top able to fold back to reveal a mini bath and shower, along with an OGO composting toilet. The van also includes numerous ingenious hiding spaces for valuables, including a pull away unit that looks like a piece of the wall – but is able to store laptops and other computer gear. There’s even a secret story cupboard for wine bottles.
This impressive camper van tour comes after “lorry lifer” showed off his ex-military truck that allows him the freedom of going off-grid – and escaping the cost of living crisis. Paul, aka, The Off Grid Nomad, was fed up being left with just £100 to play with at the end of every month amid soaring bills. “Knowing you’re off-grid, especially when you’re watching the news and all the heating bills going up and I’m living in this – I’m paying none of it,” Paul told YouTube series Liveration .
Meanwhile, a genius young man converted an ambulance he found on Facebook Marketplace at 4am into a liveable motorhome completely off-grid. The ambulance has a shower, freezer, packed wardrobe and even a big double bed in it and came at a very cheap price with hardly any bills. 7 Margaret Miller explained the DIY work she and her partner have done 7 She and Ladi Jecminek bought the DPD vehicle for £9,500 7 The couple have kitted out the van with hi-tech equipment 7 Margaret has shared footage of the ‘futuristic’ motorhome 7 She first met Ladi when hitch-hiking 7 The makeover has been described as ‘innovative, creative and practical’.
