Couple’s Incredible Retirement Van Life in their Luxury Conversion

on July 2, 2023

Ray had always been fascinated by the concept of van life, so when it started gaining popularity on YouTube, he started showing his wife Nancy videos to see if she was interested. When she fully retired, she jumped on board with the idea. While they have two stationary homes (one in Hawaii and one in Idaho), they love using this luxury van to travel.

It took about 3 years to DIY their rig, and all told they spent $220K including the cost of the van. They spared no expense and have the best of the best inside — and it shows! Check out this amazing rig below.
