Luke loves living in a mountain town where he can hit the slopes whenever he pleases, but the cost of rent was becoming prohibitive. That’s when he decided to convert a box truck into his home on wheels, and keep it super stealthy so he can go undercover when parking in the city.
There are no windows on the outside of his truck, but there is so much going on inside! He has a double bunk bed area, so his daughter has a place to sleep when she joins him on the road, and a very spacious shower/bathroom area that makes for a luxurious shower experience. What’s your favorite part of his rig?

Ben was a construction worker who loved to ski when an accident on the slopes left him wheelchair-bound. It took many years of physical therapy and new perspectives on life to urge him into van life. He chose a box truck and spent 18 months converting it himself for about $50,000.
His van meets all of his needs, with a bathroom, a kitchen with accessibility countertops, an elevator bed, and a super high-tech chair. Enjoy his inspiring story below!

When you’re doing a build on a budget, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are amazing resources, as Courtney and Sawyer will tell you. They relied heavily on deals for reclaimed materials that created their awesome box truck home.
This adorable couple wanted to get into vanlife as soon as they were done with college and had saved up enough money to get started on a build. They were used to tiny spaces from their college days, so the transition has gone smoothly. What do you think of Elfie?

Candice and Simon had tried out vanlife in Australia pre-pandemic, but when COVID sent them back to their home countries (Canada and the UK, respectively), Candice started looking for a bigger vehicle that could serve as a future home for the couple.
A family friend sold Candice the step up truck which she spent 8 months renovating solo before Simon could get back to Canada to help her finish. Now she does lashes and make-up design on-the-go, and Simon tackles his 3D design work from their high-tech indoor setup. Enjoy the tour below!

Vaughn, like so many others, was ready to stop wasting money on LA rent month after month. He took the plunge and bought a box truck which he has made into a fantastic home — and he dreams of someday building his own shipping container house.
Inside his big green machine you’ll find a spacious shower with a dry flush toilet, and what he considers the quickest bed set-up in a vehicle ever — his Murphy bed which flips down in under 3 seconds.
Vaughn says he wants to be an inspiration to other men of color that they, too, can enjoy the travel/van/truck lifestyle. Enjoy his video tour below!

Rhett traveled the US on his motorcycle for a couple of years before meeting Ashley. He lived with just three backpacks of stuff he could fit on his ride! With Ashley came two adorable dogs, so they upgraded to this amazing box truck which they transformed into a home on a budget.
Ashley calls Rhett a “tinkerer,” saying he loves to see what he can do with the fewest materials possible. You see that clearly in their minimalist build, which includes a stand-up desk on a pulley system and a bed that folds down with some Rhett engineering. The whole home uses recycled materials to make a perfect space for the couple and their dogs.
