Steve and Audra had camped in tents for years when Steve brought up the idea of converting a van. It took a bit for Audra to warm up to it, but eventually, they bought a high-roof Ford Transit and started a 2-plus-year journey to complete the inside.
They wanted to convert the van on a budget and used a lot of reclaimed materials — like the discarded decking that became their ceiling — in order to keep costs down. What’s your favorite part of their conversion?

Julianna is quite possibly the coolest person we’ve seen living alternatively! Her energy is contagious, and her willingness to travel solo in her off-road Toyota FJ Cruiser is an inspiration.
Everything she needs is packed into her car, including an impressive amount of food. She has a “coffin” bed that folds down at night, complete with eight pillows to keep her comfortable. Don’t miss this great tour below!

Sierra jumped into vanlife by purchasing a DIY Promaster 2500 conversion from someone who was moving on from nomadic life. The van he designed was built out of planed cedar wood to keep the weight of the build down. She’s been traveling in “Dreams” the van since September 2020.
At first, she worked full-time from the van, so she liked having the big dinette where she could set out all her work. Now she runs Boondock Consulting, works less, and would like a van with a fixed bed whenever she upgrades. Which kind of setup would you prefer?

J.P. is one cool guy who has lived nomadically for over two decades! He spent many years backpacking, then he started traveling on his motorcycle, and finally, he began RV travel and has lived in 5 different RVs. He had been eyeing the Revcon 4×4 for a few years and serendipitously found one on Instagram.
He took the 1993 rig and modernized it with all kinds of “smart” features, including Alexa-operated coffee, tea, and ice-makers! His entire roof is covered in solar panels, allowing him to run a mini-split, microwave, and tons of other electronics off-grid.

Here’s another amazing couple traveling from Alaska to Argentina in their van! Their Panamerican travels are a way to spend more time together and less time traveling away from each other due to work commitments. They quit their jobs and bought a van that had already been built by another DIYer.
Their rig has a nice swivel chair and living room/dinette area, along with a fixed bed in the back of the van. There’s a little shower/toilet area in the middle of the van. They want to upgrade the lighting inside, but they’re already in Mexico and appreciating this journey.

Shelby and Shane were working long hours and just barely able to make ends meet, so they decided it was time to make a change. They found this box truck already converted by a couple who decided to settle down, and jumped at the opportunity. While they miss things like an oven to cook in, they are happy with their newfound financial freedom.
The increase in free time has allowed Shelby to start an embroidered bracelet business, and Shane works part-time doing a normal job and has also dabbled in spoon carving! Great for them! Enjoy the tour below.

When Rob and Karen decided to travel North America instead of paying high property taxes and utility bills, they searched for the right vehicle and found this old oil field truck. Much tougher than a typical RV, it had a sturdy box on the back that they gutted and transformed into a fully functional tiny home.
The home features a deep sink, recirculating shower, and a pizza oven. But the standout feature is the elevator bed that descends from the ceiling with custom backrests, allowing them to lounge and watch TV or read in comfort.
