This woodworker had been thinking of vanlife for about 6 years, but when he neared his 30th birthday he decided it was time for a change for himself and his dogs. He sold his house, outfitted a gorgeous stealth van (he’s a woodworker, so the woodwork is amazing!), and hit the road.
While he planned to start a trip from Alaska to Argentina a few months back, that plan got derailed by COVID. That said, it’s still in the works for the future. For now, he’s enjoying getting in touch with himself on the road.
You don’t want to miss the video tour of this unique build, that fits the bedroom into the front of the build.

I’m always curious about insulation—did he insulate the walls and ceiling? I like how spacious it feels, due to his design and decor. Great plan for a guy who loves to cook. I wonder where the video was filmed; I like that campground.
Wow I love his wood work skills very nice.
Thanks for the idea of bedroom up front. I’m working on a floorpan for a short Skoolie and really hate blocking the “back door” with a bed to climb over. Would be great to have the kitchen/seating area next to an open door. Now to figure out how to fit a wet bath/composting toilet into the mix!
I saw someone put their bathroom in the back of the bus, so it was easy to empty their composting toilet!
Wow! That is the most beautiful van conversion I have ever seen, and so livable. It is a piece of art! You thought of everything. Amazing work, incredible story. Keep us posted of other projects you do.
My daughter was especially in love with the “mermaid” tiles haha.
Nice craftsmanship. Though it looks more like a kitchen on wheels.
From what he said in the video, that’s what he wanted most of all.
That is beautiful. He’s quite talented. I hope he gets to make his trip because I think his van building business will really take off.
Ya that sounds like such an amazing trip!
