Deyana is a former classroom teacher who now teaches virtually. You might remember her skoolie conversion that we showed you, but now she’s living in her self-converted van with her adorable dog. She used a micro-cement product from Spain called Smartcret to cover many of the surfaces in her rig, and the thin layer looks gorgeous and almost adobe-like.

She made sure to include a shower in her conversion, with a self-cleaning Nautilus door and a beautiful pebble floor. She has a fixed bed, spacious garage, and a comfortable workspace. In her kitchen, she chose an induction cooktop and a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. What feature of her rig do you like the most?

Angie is a veteran who was sent overseas in one of the first waves of the war in Iraq, where she was exposed to horrible things that left her struggling with PTSD and her overall mental health when she got home. Eventually, she tried weaning off of the many prescription drugs she was taking (as prescribed) to help with her trauma, but the withdrawal was challenging. Vanlife allowed her to get closer to nature, which ultimately helped her the most in her healing journey.

Her Winnebago Revel van includes a lift bed, which was the selling point of this model. That said, she’s done oodles of renovations to the rig to where it works best for her, including overhauling the kitchen and adding a deeper sink to make cooking easier. You’re going to love her inspiring story and epic van!

Roman & Ioana are based in Switzerland, and they love the freedom that living and working on the road provides them. They purchased a 1990 Volkswagen van that had been converted and did some major renovations to make it work for modern full-time vanlife.

They tow along a storage trailer which allows them to keep all their gear and bikes safely stored away and keeps the van itself more open. The fiberglass roof lets them have a bed that’s out of the way from the living area, and they added a bathroom to the back of the van. We had the opportunity to interview them, and you can read their story below!

Josh loves to cook, and his previous two van conversions didn’t have the space he needed to make amazing dishes on the road. So in his latest van, Boondocker 3.0, he made sure to have double countertops and a super cool “speakeasy” cabinet that rises from behind his pop-up shower.

His van conversion is built to keep him out of campgrounds and in nature, so it comes equipped with plenty of solar power to sustain his needs. He chose to close off the cab but included a super narrow door so he could access it if he needed to. His bed is fixed, and there’s a composting toilet under the bench that feeds to a tank. What do you think of Josh’s van?

Greg and Maria purchased this van intending to convert it, but Greg almost resold it because he was so overwhelmed by what a conversion would entail! Thankfully, a friend of his encouraged him not to give up, and the results of sticking to it are incredible! This family-friendly van conversion has safe seating for the four of them, and a Lagun table and swivel chairs so they can sit and eat together.

They chose to have a fixed bed in the back of the van for mom and dad, and their boys sleep in a tent since they only use the van for vacations and weekends away. Across from their kitchen, they included a bathroom with a shower stall and removable toilet. They can get more than five minutes of hot water! Let us know which feature of this van you love the most.

The last time we checked in with Holly and Matt, they were about 3 months into an amazing van conversion for their family of 4. While the interior was coming together, they’d still be working for another 6 months before they moved in and hit the road. Incredibly, they completed the entire build for just £15.5K (~$19.6K USD) — and it’s so beautiful.

Now they’ve been on the road for nearly a year, and they’re loving vanlife! Be sure to read our interview with them below and find out how they all sleep, what their plans are for the future, and about their epic solar set-up.
