Anne-So and JP met in university and later started dating. It was their New Zealand road-tripping in a rental van that made them fall in love with vanlife, but JP wasn’t quite sold on selling all their stuff, quitting their jobs, and moving into a van full-time — at first!
Thankfully, he came around, and the couple had the amazing opportunity to travel from Canada to Panama — and back — in their Promaster. Now they are taking the van around the United States and seeing all the U.S. had to offer. What do you think of their van?

Do you remember how cool the Adaptiv™ system for the Happier Camper was? The cube furniture could be reconfigured just like Legos to allow endless layout options. Well, they now sell an Adaptiv™ kit for select Sprinter vans!
First you’ll install their fiberglass flooring, and then your cube kit simply locks in place. They have storage cubes to make seating and a bed, as well as cubes for a cooler, sink, table and even a toilet cube. This is a really neat middle ground between a complete custom build-out by a professional, and a DIY conversion.
While you’ll have to get a quote for an exact price, they were estimating about $20K for the cube set up a couple years ago while it was in production. The pandemic and material costs likely increased that, but it’s still cheaper than a custom build-out, and you can move the pieces around to fit your needs whenever you want!
Make sure to watch the video below to see it in action.

Meet Jay Blackmore (@floatinthekoots) and his incredible DIY Off-Grid Floating Home that he spent four years building in his “spare” time.
Not only did he build it, but he also designed the entire thing and did all the work except the electrical and gas hookups (probably wise!). The home is about 700 square feet and includes an open concept living room and kitchen, and a second floor with two bedrooms. The home is heated in the freezing Canada winters by his pellet stove (or a back-up propane heater) and even some gas lamps!
Make sure to watch the video from Exploring Alternatives to hear Jay explain his incredible closed-loop system for his gray water!

Need a romantic getaway once COVID-19 is under control? This rustic tiny cabin in Canada on your own private pond looks like the perfect place to unplug.
This little one-room cabin measures 13 x 10.5 feet and has a bedroom loft or a futon with an air mattress if you don’t like ladders. The best part, in my opinion, is the wood burning stove. There’s a composting toilet for #1 inside the cabin, but a three-minute walk from the cabin is a lovely Victorian home with a full kitchen and luxurious bathroom you are welcome to. You can book your stay here on Airbnb! Enjoy the photo tour below.
