How This Couple Transformed Their Van into the Ultimate Adventure Rig in Italy

on March 5, 2023

This awesome couple enjoys extreme sports and wanted a way to get closer to the activities they loved. They spent four months converting this van into a gorgeous adventure rig to take them around Italy.

Their van includes a nifty hidden kitchen and a corner wet bath at the front of the van. At the back, they have a convertible bed that’s set up as a dinette during the day. On top, they have a cool roof deck and solar set-up. Be sure to read our Q&A with the couple below!

Interview:

What got you into tiny living?

Sport… We do a lot of extreme sports and staying in a van permits us to sleep near the sport spot… So it’s a way to live the places…

Did you build your home or buy it? How long did the process take?

We built our van entirely by ourselves in 4 long months of work… But the result is so rewarding…

How has tiny living changed your life (for better or worse)?

For sure, it’s a way to travel at a very low cost so we can travel more with the same money…

How do you make money on the road?

We have two full-time shift jobs… We travel in our free day off

What’s the hardest part of tiny living?

To find the better places to sleep… Yes, we can sleep everywhere but stay in a beautiful place with a beautiful view is important for us…

What’s the most rewarding part?

Wake up… Open the Windows… And see every day a different sunrise…

Any advice for people looking to go tiny?

Go….
