on May 17, 2024

This retired nurse has been traveling in her gorgeous purple ProMaster and loves her new, adventurous lifestyle! She said she wants her van to feel like the 14-year-old’s bedroom she never had — and it’s just that and more.

The house meets all her needs, with tons of storage, a hidden toilet, and a swivel chair that faces her flip-up countertop to act as a table. You’ll be so inspired by her vigor and positivity!

      Hi Maria,

      Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, the total cost of her van conversion wasn’t shared in the post. However, I did a bit of research and found that her builder was Midwest Van Builders. You might be able to get an estimate for a similar build by reaching out to them directly. Here is the link to their website: https://www.midwestvanbuilders.com/

      Best regards,
      Alex
