Mat and Danielle from Exploring Alternatives have just shared an updated video tour of their stealthy DIY camper van conversion!

Couple’s Budget Off-Grid Camper Van After Years Living In It!

Starting with a 2002 Ford E-150 passenger van, they took out the seats and built a simple plywood platform bed with storage space underneath.

They added curtains for privacy, and a decorative ceiling (a thrifted bed sheet) to make the space feel bright and homey.

There is an adjustable backrest on the bed so they can work, lounge, and sleep all in one space.

The most expensive part of the conversion (aside from the cost of the van itself) is the 300 Watt solar power system installed on the roof which gives them power so they can work full-time on the road.
