Dakota wanted to get into van life and already owned a Toyota pickup that she loved, so she decided to build a camper to fit on her truck instead of buying a new rig. With the help of her brother (who builds tiny homes), she designed and built this amazing home.
Every inch was designed to meet her needs. She has a YETI cooler for her produce, a stove and oven to let her cook, and some great pull-out drawers for pantry storage. Her twin/full bed is fixed in the back of the rig, and she has windows that look into the sky for stargazing. Enjoy the tour!
