Tal and Ori were living in Israel when they found out they were having twins. Realizing they wanted time to raise the girls and travel as a family, they sold all their belongings and came stateside to begin van life in December 2021.
Eventually, the van became too small for the four of them, so they upgraded to a self-converted skoolie. The skoolie has the original bus seats with 5-point harnesses for the girls, a separate playroom area, and a convertible couch for mom and dad. What do you think?

Tawnie and Wayne are nomads at heart who travel the country in their RV. But they wanted a home base and because of their financial savvy (they were both finance majors), they were able to purchase 4 acres of property in North Carolina and outfit it with a 420 sq. ft. geodesic dome home and adjacent bathhouse.
Now they have a spot to come “home” to, but when they’re off exploring, it’s available as an Airbnb. The dome is set up as half magical bedroom (with a view!) and half living room and kitchen. The bathroom is just a few steps away and has all the luxuries you want!

Ginnie and Austin met during their time in the Army and spent their last year in service building out a skoolie, so they could enjoy their newfound freedom and see the country.
Their pink (ish) rig is beautifully designed to offer maximum comfort for themselves and their pets. They prioritized tons of counter space, a big couch that becomes a second bed, and a cozy back bedroom with a queen-sized mattress. Enjoy their skoolie tour below!

Ray had always been fascinated by the concept of van life, so when it started gaining popularity on YouTube, he started showing his wife Nancy videos to see if she was interested. When she fully retired, she jumped on board with the idea. While they have two stationary homes (one in Hawaii and one in Idaho), they love using this luxury van to travel.
It took about 3 years to DIY their rig, and all told they spent $220K including the cost of the van. They spared no expense and have the best of the best inside — and it shows! Check out this amazing rig below.

Shirley and A.W. wanted to do something new during retirement, so they bought a bus and built out a skoolie! Their only regret? That they didn’t do it sooner!
They have a neat L-shaped couch in the back of the bus which becomes their queen-sized bed at night, and another couch that turns into a twin for any guests. They are taking long trips when they can and staying close to home for longer stints to visit their new grandbabies.

The biggest debates when converting a van seem to be 1) Should you install an indoor shower? and 2) Should you have a fixed bed or a convertible one? Blake and Tabby chose to maximize space and leave out the shower. They also chose a convertible bed that sets up as a U-shaped conversation area during the day.
They’re taking this fantastic ProMaster to visit all the National Parks and have no plans of quitting vanlife anytime soon. Because they’d sold most of their belongings and furniture before moving into the van, the space felt rather luxurious compared to eating ramen in their empty apartment! You can see why in the tour below.

This awesome couple has grown children and a teenager still at home, and they were ready for a big change! They got work as KOA Camp Hosts and decided to sell everything and convert a school bus into their tiny home. Because their home sold so quickly, they ended up staying with family for a bit while finishing up the conversion.
They have a teen-sized bunk room, a cozy primary bedroom, and a big kitchen with “normal” sized appliances. Two large couches welcome you when you walk in. What do you think of their conversion?

This couple went on a vacation on a narrowboat before 2020 upended the world, and fell in love with the idea of living on the water. Still, they wanted a little more space than the narrowboat offered, so they started searching for a wide-beam boat instead.
They ended up purchasing a show model, and the new boat is absolutely gorgeous! The finishes are sleek and modern and look like a fashionable city apartment — but they get all the beauty of living on the water and waking up somewhere new when they want to. Be sure to look at all the pictures and catch our Q&A with the couple below!
