Savannah dreamed of van life but was initially worried about what others would think. She eventually realized no one was living her life but her, and outfitted her own DIY van conversion she calls the “Babe Cave.”
The build features a full-sized bed, micro kitchen, and space for her cat and co-pilot, George. The exterior is intentionally stealthy, while huge drawers accessible from the back of the van in the garage space maximize storage.
