I turned my $200k Lamborghini into a campervan – I’ve added a fridge, stove, and bed and travel the world full-time
A YOUNG entrepreneur left the company he founded and sold his home so he could travel the world — in a converted Lamborghini.
Connor, 28, has turned his $200k Lamborghini Urus into a campervan — and dubbed it a “Camperghini.”
He says he’s spent around $30,000 to include cooking facilities, a bed, and a powerful 21-speaker sound system.
Connor, who doesn’t wish to reveal his last name, says he was suddenly inspired to abandon his materialistic living following the death of a close friend
And he now plans to take his motorhome to every country in the world.
He also jokes that he’s probably the only person in the world to be both homeless and own a Lamborghini — and insists he has no regrets.
“Sometimes I have to pinch myself. The doors that this car opens are just incredible,” Connor said.
“When you go on this journey of the American Dream you realize that material things aren’t what’s important – it’s the freedom to do what you want, when you want.”
Connor founded his own construction company in his early teens.
He then built up over the years, taking on employees and winning more and more lucrative contracts.
“I worked 18 hours a day for the last 14 years. Then a buddy passed away and I broke up with my girlfriend,” he said.
“I thought, ‘I could be doing this for the rest of my life and have continuous success… but where will I be?'”
A little over a year ago, Connor spontaneously decided to sell his house in his hometown of Colorado, buy a Lamborghini Urus SUV at an online auction, and hit the road.
He has since spent thousands personally modifying his Camperghini to transform it into what is possibly the first mobile-home-cum-supercar.
As well as boasting 641bhp and a top speed of 190mph (305kph), it also has a fridge, a stove, a bed, Starlink internet, a panoramic sunroof, solar panels, a water filter and a roof rack full of extra supplies.
Despite his outlandish choice of car, Connor admits he was more into Ferraris when he was younger and even considered getting an Aston Martin for his round-the-world trip.
“The Lambo is absolutely amazing,” he said.
“It’s such a fun car to drive around the world with.
“It was 100% the one I wanted. Adventuring around the world in a Lamborghini is so crazy and different.
“I thought it would be cool to get an Aston Martin Vantage and put a tent on top, but I needed an SUV.”
Though he’s already visited a variety of countries across Europe, Connor has his sights on eventually ticking off every country in the world — including rogue states such as North Korea.
“I see myself looking back and telling my grandkids someday about all the badass adventures I’ve had,” he said.
“So far I’ve just been bouncing around Europe getting the car done.
“I’ve explored a bit of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
I have come from a house where I had everything I wanted to living out of the back of a car,
Connor
“The plan is to go to every country in the world; most of Europe this summer then either Africa or Southeast Asia in the winter.”
But not everyone is so accepting of Connor’s presence, which was perfectly demonstrated when he was moved on from outside the home of controversial social media personality Andrew Tate in Romania.
“It was absolutely hilarious,” he said. “I barbecued some steak out the front of his house and was going to camp there.
“But his security insisted that I move on when they saw me brushing my teeth.”
However, Connor concedes that life in the Camperghini isn’t always plain sailing.
“There are times that are very difficult,” he said.
“I have come from a house where I had everything I wanted to living out the back of a car.
“My bed isn’t the most comfortable.
“Before I had an expensive, comfy mattress, and this bed is an aluminum plate with a camping mat on top.”
Connor added that he often has to find gyms to shower in and sometimes has to park far outside of city centers.
But he says he has no regrets about leaving his old life behind and now wants to inspire others to make similar decisions and not put their dreams off for another day.
“I’m just excited every day that I wake up,” Connor said. “You have got to live life at some point.
“It’s the adventure of exploring the world, learning new things, and inspiring others to go off on journeys of their own and not be so materialistic.
“Not to put it off until tomorrow, but to do it today.
“I had multiple major projects on when I left, but there’s never a perfect time to leave.
“If you live life with regrets, you’re going to have regrets.”
“There are times that are very difficult,” he said.
“I have come from a house where I had everything I wanted to living out of the back of a car,” he continued.
“My bed isn’t the most comfortable. Before I had an expensive, comfy mattress, and this bed is an aluminum plate with a camping mat on top.”
He has also become accustomed to finding gyms to shower in and often parks outside of the parameters of most city centers.
It might not always be easy, but he now hopes to encourage others to pursue their dreams, whatever they might be.
“I’m just excited every day that I wake up. “You have got to live life at some point,” he said.
“It’s the adventure of exploring the world, learning new things and inspiring others to go off on journeys of their own and not be so materialistic. Not to put it off until tomorrow, but to do it today.
