## 50 words

Vladimir Šterjoski is a software developer in Serbia and the maker of VanPlot, a browser 3D layout planner for camper van conversions. He started it while planning his own van, after finding no tool that showed whether a layout fits, what it weighs on each axle, or what it costs. He works on it alone.

Vladimir Šterjoski is a software developer based in Serbia and the sole maker of VanPlot, a browser-based 3D layout planner for DIY camper van conversions. He began the project while planning his own van, after trying graph paper, spreadsheets, a desktop van planner and general CAD and finding that none of them could answer the questions he had: whether a layout fits a specific van, what it does to the rear axle load, and what it costs to build.

VanPlot launched in September 2026 with interior data for 27 vehicles in 159 variants, live payload, axle-split and centre-of-mass calculations, power and cost planning, and a Build Sheet that ends in a stud-level cut list. It is sold as one lifetime licence, with a 15-minute full-app trial and a 14-day refund that lets buyers keep their exports.

His own conversion is not built yet. He plans it in the tool, works on it alone, and answers support@vanplot.com himself.

## On record

Will talk about
- Why the numbers (payload, axle split, centre of mass) matter more than the picture.
- Where the vehicle data comes from and what is estimated versus published.
- The trial, the lifetime price, and the refund policy, including what they cost him.
- What VanPlot doesn't do yet.
- Competitors, with dated, checkable facts only.

Won't do
- Quote user counts, revenue, or testimonials.
- Describe a finished van. There isn't one.
- Bash competitors beyond what their own published terms and prices show.
- Say "we". There is no team.
