Stealth Cargo Van Life with Her Pets


This post contains affiliate links.

Pamela wanted to travel but didn’t know how to afford it or how to bring her pets along. When she discovered van life, it was the solution to her problems! She even added a unique built-in screen door to keep her cats inside the van as well as the fresh air.

This is actually her third build-out of the space, which she changed up as she got used to living on the road and figured out what she really wanted from a home on wheels. She chose the shortest wheelbase available, so she can easily fit into parking places and sell her handmade jewelry on Etsy.

    I don’t think she sleeps with her head under the cabinets.
    I appreciate her honesty and advice – figure/find out what’s important to You before having to dramatically rebuild, then – go for it! I’m so close…
