Meg was going through a divorce with her partner of 15 years just as 2020 pushed her Boston-based job remote. With nothing tying her to Massachusetts anymore, she decided to move home to Colorado and find a van to convert. Her goal wasn’t a fancy conversion, but something practical that met her needs and the needs of her pets.
She had no previous building experience, but she still managed to construct her own cabinets (complete with drawers — tricky!) and design a van with a full kitchen (oven included). Her fixed bed is just large enough for her to sleep in diagonally, and she has a hidden litter box for her cat.

Vanessa struggled with homelessness for years and had fallen into depression when she came across van life on YouTube. It seemed like a way out for her — but she needed a van! With a bit of inheritance money and a miracle, she ended up with her current rig for $1,300 and successfully completed a budget renovation on her home on wheels.
She has a lovely rig with a unique layout! Her kitchen is actually at the back of the van, her bed/lounge/closet is in the middle, and her “bathroom” setup takes up the front. Keep scrolling for their great tour!

Dyllan was super successful in her work and making good money, when she realized she wasn’t fulfilled in life. Having been able to pay off her student loans and save, she was in a good place to quit, build out a van and start traveling with her dog Juniper. After driving 30,000 miles across the US, she has settled in Moab where she works in dog rescue for Underdog Rescue.
Her beautiful bright and open van meets all of her needs and doubles as a transport vehicle for at-risk dogs. Right now she has two little foster puppies and a whole drawer dedicated to dog food. Enjoy the tour!

Kayla has always tried to live in small spaces — purposefully choosing the smallest room in her co-op and figuring out how to live with less. When she got a remote internship for the summer, she decided to hop into vanlife and travelling!
For such a tiny, quickly-built rig, Kayla’s van is so impressive! It has a bed/couch/dinette with three configurations, and a kitchen that she can use indoors and out — pretty cool.
