DIY campervan conversions are exciting — but let’s be honest, they can also be overwhelming. Most people don’t have the right space, the right tools, or the expert guidance to get the job done smoothly.
That’s why we created VanCowork, an innovative workshop rental space in Porto. Think of it like coworking, but instead of desks and laptops, you’ll find vans, drills, saws, and everything you need to bring your campervan project to life.
What Is VanCowork?
VanCowork is a coworking-style campervan workshop rental in Porto designed for DIY builders, digital nomads, and vanlife enthusiasts. Instead of struggling at home or investing thousands in tools, you can rent a 30m² workstation inside our 500m² warehouse — complete with professional equipment, expert support, and a like-minded community.
Here, you can:
-
Build your van with everything you need in one place.
-
Repair your van with short- or long-term workstation rentals (1 day, 1 week, or 1 month).
-
Improve your van with upgrades, storage solutions, or design tweaks.
-
Connect with the vanlife community in Porto.
-
Ask for expert help whenever you’re stuck.
-
Store your van, materials, and personal items safely (our warehouse has 24/7 cameras and alarms).
-
Work in a premium location just 15 minutes from the ocean, airport, and Porto city center.
It’s more than a workshop — it’s a safe, inspiring environment surrounded by nature, just 3 minutes from the beach.
