Jesse and Janice were saving up to buy a house when they made a major pivot in their lives and decided to jump into vanlife instead! They found a van already DIY-converted by a family that had used it as a weekender vehicle, and they’ve slowly made it theirs.
While the bed could convert to a dinette, they always leave it in “bed mode” and use the swivel seat or bench couch as a spot to work or eat. The large AC unit drew too much power, so they removed it to make a special bedroom for their cat, Nova. They also love the awning that allows them to extend their living space outdoors, and a dirt bike that makes it easy to run into town. Enjoy the tour!

Cute and cozy! You did a great job.
You’re doing it wrong kids. You really have to reduce what you now have but truly don’t need. The bathroom should have stayed and instead get rid of ANYTHING you don’t absolutely need. We went from a house to a diesel pusher. You then realize how easy and gratifying life can be. YOU GO!! 😁
